John G commented on the post, "Fundamental" F1 changes being considered for 2021 including shorter races 4 years, 2 months ago
Spec aero would dramatically affect my interest in Formula 1. The reason I fell in love with the sport is the engineering battle, it’s half the game. Wings could be drastically simplified and still significantly […]

I don’t buy your argument about age, age isn’t the issue in this debate, it’s experience. This is already his FOURTH season, he’s FAR from a rookie at this point. He’s had more than enough time in these cars and […]

Yeah, he might have corrected his attitude a little after the race, but is that because he’s had a tongue lashing and been told what to say? What’s more important and telling is what a driver says in the heat of […]
John G commented on the post, Which is the best-looking F1 car of 2018? 4 years, 5 months ago
I don’t know, to my eye some of the colored halo devices makes them blend in and disappear better, especially ones like the Ferrari. You almost don’t notice it at some angles, where if it was black I think it’d […]
John G commented on the post, Which is the best-looking F1 car of 2018? 4 years, 5 months ago
All of these comments about “This is the best looking car, everyone else that disagrees is wrong!” absolutely drive me nuts. Aesthetics are completely subjective, and the science and philosophy on this isn’t up […]
John G commented on the post, Horner calls penalty "appalling", Verstappen blames "idiot steward" 4 years, 10 months ago
I don’t understand how most people posting here think it’s an unfair penalty. I watched the Sky F1 analysis of it after the race, and it’s clear that Max was cutting the apex by quite a lot. Paul DiResta said it […]
John G commented on the post, Hamilton takes a big win after Vettel risks too much 4 years, 11 months ago
Max did brake, and admitted to trying to get out of the way, he just waited too long to do it. I don’t understand how everyone is blaming Vettel. I’m by no means a Vettel fan, far from it. But if you watch his […]
John G commented on the post, Vettel says first-lap crash "doesn't change much" as Ferrari blame Verstappen 4 years, 11 months ago
He should have backed off to save his own ass, obviously. He admitted that Vettel wouldn’t have known about Kimi, and also that he did try to back out. The problem is he waited too long before backing out. If he […]
John G commented on the post, Vettel says first-lap crash "doesn't change much" as Ferrari blame Verstappen 4 years, 11 months ago
That’s just a ridiculous statement. Absurd. No driver starting from pole can be expected to not move over and protect the inside line. Any racing driver in any series will do so, and conditions are completely […]
John G commented on the post, Vettel says first-lap crash "doesn't change much" as Ferrari blame Verstappen 4 years, 11 months ago
Max very easily could have avoided yet another collision. I’ve said this many times over the years, the only car that’s aware of them being three wide is the car in the middle. Therefore he’s the one that can do […]
John G commented on the post, Vettel beats Red Bulls to take pole at Singapore 4 years, 11 months ago
Max was only .026 faster, that’s not really worth mentioning. I would say that’s pretty even. They’re very closely matched in qualifying overall I think. Ricciardo is clean and very fast in the races. Great at […]
John G commented on the post, Rate the race: 2017 Italian Grand Prix 4 years, 11 months ago
Looks to me like Massa had the upper hand and the inside line. Max would have been smart to back out and live to race another lap. How did he think that would work out for either of them? Seems to me he does this […]
John G commented on the post, Vettel at a loss to understand Ferrari's poor qualifying 4 years, 11 months ago
So what does Vettel mean when he said “The classic rain setups don’t exist anymore, and I doubt that anyone set up the car for the wet today”? So of course there’s still a drastically different setup for wet […]
John G commented on the post, Todt defends Vettel penalty decision 5 years, 1 month ago
I really don’t understand how people are still bent out of shape on this issue. Let me start by saying I am not a fan of either driver, so this is an unbiased opinion. I think the penalty was pretty much bang on. […]

As a Canadian, I’m really hoping Stroll is a guy I can cheer for. I never liked Villeneuve very much, his Williams was pretty dominant in ’97… Then there’s the nonsense that is constantly coming out of his […]
John G commented on the post, Raikkonen takes first pole for nine years, Hamilton starts midfield in Monaco 5 years, 2 months ago
I think Ferrari may just let Kimi beat Vettel if Hamilton is mostly out of the picture. That’s probably a big if though. If Hamilton manages to get to the top 5 in the first stint, Ferrari will definitely get […]
John G commented on the post, Front-running teams have closed up – Wolff 5 years, 5 months ago
I agree. Maybe ground effect shouldn’t be the only source of downforce as that could be dangerous, but other forms of motorsports use it, so surely the brilliant designers of Formula 1 could do so in a safe […]
John G commented on the post, Front-running teams have closed up – Wolff 5 years, 5 months ago
Melbourne is a slightly unique and different track, unfortunately that means it’s not going to give us a very clear insight into the current pecking order. It’s still going to give us a better understanding […]
John G commented on the post, Ferrari fastest but Vettel keeps pace in reserve 5 years, 5 months ago
To me it looked like Ferrari ditched last years car pretty early in order to start work on this car. Early on, last year, they threw a bunch of podiums away with absolutely insane calls from the pit lane. The car […]
John G commented on the post, Bottas gets quicker as Stroll crashes again 5 years, 5 months ago
You know as a Canadian I was really hoping he had potential. I know he bought his way in, but I’d still like to have a Canadian to cheer for. Always hated Jacques, and Gilles was before my time, so it’d be nice, […]
