I mean the outcome of the rule is largely averaged out over time, but if they are allowed because of safety and no other reason why not impose that the change of tyres can only be for a set of the same compound. […]

Whilst this is interesting, I always feel like the discussion over X had the best car because said car won the constructors championship to be a bit odd. For example this year, I don’t think most people would […]

I don’t think he can really be surprised any more. I mean in his 3.75 seasons at Mercedes he has won 9 Grand Prix. Hamilton has won 8 this year, and 39 in total while they have been team mates.

Completely agree, I have no issue with severity of penalty, just with information delivery of a considered safety issue

Are you suggesting that should be the regulation? As far as I understand that is not currently the case.

I was intentionally trying to keep the driver aspect out of my original comment, my line of thought is that other tools used in circumstances where continuing to drive the circuit at race speed is deemed unsafe, […]

The thing that niggles me most about this whole penalty and surrounding discussion is that it is done for the purpose of safety but seemingly the information is not made immediately obvious to the teams. I […]

One of the things I have really enjoyed about the last few races that is making me appreciate the quieter engines a little is just how much you can hear the crowd react. Listening to the crowd roar as Verstappen […]

In the same period that Bottas has been in that Mercedes, Verstappen has more wins in the Red Bull

I think the difference can probably be attributed to the fact that in the last 3 years Hamilton has made very few mistakes on track, with this being the only high profile one I can really remember. Whereas Vettel […]

I would also suggest that this means the championship win is almost set in stone though. On what is almost certainly due to be Hamilton’s worst race performance of the season, he still extends his championship lead.

I believe it is the longest wait between 2 point scores at 8 years 8 months, taking the record away from Lucien Bianchi

“Ricciardo is losing time fast to be a WC”

I am confused by this comment, by what metric is he running out of time. Age? At 27 he would be nowhere close to being considered old for a world champion if he won in […]

If he is ever going to win it, it is this year. Although as stated in @mike ‘s reply Lewis does have a knack of pulling it out the bag. All being equal I think Hamilton will take it, but it wouldn’t take much to […]

I thought the race was OK. I don’t mind particularly if there isn’t much overtaking up the front end, or even if there is no direct wheel to wheel into a braking zone. I think what irks me most about current f1 […]

I love the opportunity to view the grid in 80’s mode!!
