It’s a nice sentiment, but Mexico in June or July? Really? Please think about this for a second and consider the reasons why they wouldn’t schedule it then.

It’s sad to see Milwaukee go. It’s good to see some variety in the tracks they race and being a short, flat oval, it was unique on the schedule. But as has been said: if the money isn’t there, there’s not much you can do.
Fontana? Good riddance. I’m sorry, but that track is too dangerous for the cars now. I hope this is a sign that they’ve…[Read more]

Judging by their past actions, I’m sure they’d love to have an F1 championship of nothing but Ferraris out on track racing one another. At this rate, sure seems like they’re working towards it. Keep pulling all […]

I’m afraid that right off the bat, your ideas have a problem, Dragoll. Putting testing back into effect will mean that teams with money will have more opportunities to go test. And more opportunities to test means they’ll continue to streak away from the have-nots. It’s a positive feedback loop, but only for the teams who have had success. This is…[Read more]

Surely if they pull out someone would be willing to buy a team that’s got 4 championships under it’s belt, right?

Slightly agree. We definitely need to start taking steps toward protecting the driver’s head. Whether that’s closed cockpits or higher windscreens, I don’t know. All I know is a methodical approach needs to be […]
Joey-Poey commented on the post, FIA plans imminent driver aid ban followed by louder engines and increased downforce 7 years, 7 months ago
Yes and no on the underbody downforce. Yes, it may have less wake, but it also means shorter braking distances or even no braking where it once was. And that means passes will be more difficult. Long braking zones […]

Except more downforce (even if it comes from under the car without a big wake) also means shorter breaking zones or fewer breaking zones. And that means fewer opportunities to pass.

You’re right that people can change and grow, but when picking favorites in sport, that’s a hard blemish to overcome. While things like team orders are a grey area, things like throwing a race to hand your […]
Joey-Poey commented on the post, Has Formula E won you over? 7 years, 7 months ago
I voted “slightly positive.” It would have been very positive but for a few niggling points. The lack of the ability for the cars to go the full distance is one (hopefully that will be sorted out as manufacturers […]
Joey-Poey commented on the post, Has Formula E won you over? 7 years, 7 months ago
Interesting point on the close racing. Anyone who argues that aero is what’s keeping F1 from having much good racing could probably use FE as proof. There’s never been much of a problem in following your rival […]

I’ll be honest, Piquet winning it just doesn’t feel right. He’s like the Pete Rose of racing, it’s hard to cheer for him after what he did. :/

All this talk about the cars being more physical back in the day… I’d love for some of these drivers to give a try at an Indy Car with no power steering. THEN tell me how physical the F1 cars were.
Joey-Poey commented on the post, F1 needs greater danger factor – Raikkonen 7 years, 7 months ago
The problem is when you increase the G’s and cornering speeds, run off needs to be bigger and bigger. And I think everyone can agree we’re sick of the parking lots. Cornering speeds are most certainly not the answer.
