@jeanrien I would also be interested to hear from @Geemac how F1 events are seen from within and if newspapers are publishing cases of locals offended by visitors under dressed or not respecting local […]

@jeanrien They actually have one of the best track records. In the last 10 years, they’ve finished 2nd five times, 3rd three times, 4th once and also one – by their standards – dismal 6th in 2020 (and we all know […]

I understand Vasseur also was not so sure of his role at Alfa/Sauber with Audi coming in, making the step up to Ferrari even more enticing @jeanrien, @dbradock. And surely he is supported by the current […]

@jeanrien

I actually believe that if they kept Binotto as team principal for one more season, that’s a decision that is just 2 laps late. They sacked him at the right time, although the smarter option would […]

Thanks @jeanrien, just checked, 90% right. For some crazy reason I went for Zhou Guanyu v. Bottas.

Yeah, well said there @jeanrien, I agree.

@jeanrien

Agree completely. It’s similar to the point I was trying to make. Max has driven like a champ for the past 2 seasons. The only shadow cast around these championships is the cost cap and red bulls […]

Ah, that would be a “fun” one @jeanrien. Yeah, I am not keeping my hopes up the FIA will want to rock the boat and be firm on this.

@jeanrien I feel it artificially reduces the field spread, due to how conservative the ratings are. The variance in performance makes the distribution almost uniform rather than normal, which granted, is not that […]

@jeanrien No, because the prize money is more relevant & valuable.

Yes, when there is a clear choice to just go for one of the drivers, and then the teams uses both cars to achieve that, it can work really well both for the team and for the lead driver @jeanrien. Both Red Bull […]

I don’t actually think they have gotten worse in that aspect @jeanrien. Ferrari hasn’t been good at strategy probably since about 2007 – they already made some baffling choices then. And again in 2008 some of […]

Ha, that is so true @jeanrien!

I liked how Norris mentioned in an interview after the Austrian race (on F1TV) that while he felt it was a solid race, his own off track moments probably cost him a position.

Good point there @jeanrien. It defenitely needs pictures and possibly even video to make cases really clear and from many angles to make it clear cut what the idea is.

@jeanrien – sorry i forget to add your name (see above this) :)

@jeanrien @frood19
Valid points, although hand sizes don’t really differ between individuals like feet, head, or body sizes, or at least I’ve never noticed any proper difference between people or genders.

@jeanrien he did leave a space though ;) But I agree, it is worth a penalty. Just wished they would be more consistent at it. Either allow weaving or disallow it.

@jeanrien I agree that Ferrari and Red Bull shouldn’t be penalised for coming off best with the regulation change but it’s not unreasonable to point out that both Ferrari and Red Bull made gains in the engine […]

@jeanrien We kind of saw that a few Monacos back when everyone spent virtually the entire ‘race’ in a slow train preserving tyres.

@jeanrien I agree. As much as I fundamentally dislike DRS as the wrong fix for a problem, I feel that in some cases DRS adds to the exitement, as long as the defending driver is not helpless.
