The real problem is that whenever conditions are too bad for inters, the wets lift so much water that visibility becomes too bad to race. I guess that in the past they didn’t have same level of downforce and had […]

@wsrgo Fair point that we are using 5 out of 10 possible values and risk giving the same grade to drivers that performed differently. One might be an upper 6 and the other a lower 6, and using a broader scale […]

Really is an interesting case and was always going to happen at some point, and the first case sets precedence.
Agree with most you said @bascb and @todfod
This will be a test of the FIA and how serious they are […]

Nobody did a stellar drive like we’ve never seen it, and at the other end nobody did abysmal performance and reckless driving which would be the two extremes so only logical there is no 0 or 10 in the […]

The other problem is as soon as they went to slick, it’s a no pass except if huge pace difference. Going off line to overtake means wet tires and less grip as everyone drives the same line. Always the case during […]

Are we seeing the first fight for not being second and win more wind tunnel time?

In a way I feel that Extreme E has done a better job at showcasing women driver than W series which ask the question if it was the right formula. Extreme E attracts eyeballs with a highly regarded male roster, […]

And it’s more and more likely to happen with longer seasons and sprint races also giving points. When they realize that, probably that Liberty will want to move all sprint races to the end of the season to keep it […]

It’s interesting as it depends how to define dominant. In many case, people will only look at ultimate pace but it is only part of the equation. Reliability is another factor, as well as ability to follow and […]

Best would be to interrupt the race after 3 laps of SC. We have had very long SC in the past and it is just annoying, if it needs more than 3 laps, then problem need more time fixing and it will be easier and […]

@bascb Fair points but I guess that their approach to have clear #1 and #2 in the past helped them and was less messy than it is now.

That’s probably also something helping RedBull to be honest, especially now […]

Safety car driving through pitlane is always going to mean traffic for release except for cars having a clear gap. Always a risk to drop a few places in such situation and can actually be anticipated given the […]

@tifoso1989 It’s quite an interesting one isn’t it. With the switch of leadership, Ferrari became more lovable and less arrogant than they have been in the past. But at the same time, there is a feeling they also […]

Don’t worry, he is going to be suspended for wearing jewelry!

Or maybe they have their priorities wrongly sorted. I also wonder as someone pointed out if it would be the same if somehow he, or rather the car, […]

Hehe, can totally picture the ego discussion…

“You recruited me because I’m the best designer or what?”
“Hum, yes, we want the best at Ferrari”
“Then trust me”
“Ok”

Put your head in the sand and listen to the record “We are Ferrari, we do things our way” by Bernie is not going to solve their problems.
It’s not the first error they make this year, and it’s not the first year […]

With Ferrari’s pace, both championships should be much closer. It really feels like RedBull and Mercedes are in a league of their own when it comes to exploiting their packages, they can deliver when in c […]

I was also thinking my vote would be straightforward at first but it was also a match between the 3 you mentioned above.
Verstappen had dominant car that he used to its best, made coming through the field easy […]

With the way things are going, Formula 1 could turn into the pinnacle of exclusivity. Many of the sport leagues are at the top because everyone wants to join them, be a part of it, and there are possibilities to […]

Longest straight on the calendar? Finland’s rally and with biggest jump too. Nicholas is feeling the pain at landing.
