jpowell commented on the post, Bottas shows Hamilton the way as he atones for "worst race of my career" in Turkey 10 months, 1 week ago
Agreed , it seemed that the Merc had nearly the advantage of previous years when Bottas was able to deal with Max relatively easily once he was in front. I think he was not under any pressure and was driving […]
jpowell commented on the post, Verstappen has shown he is capable of backing out of collisions – Horner 10 months, 3 weeks ago
I had the great good fortune to watch Jackie Stewart race live on many occasions ,comparing his driving to Max Verstappen’s by suggesting he made mistakes that could possibly make him not as free to criticise and […]
jpowell commented on the post, Prost 'will quit F1' if reverse grid races are introduced 11 months ago
So I read the headline and thought he was considering a comeback perhaps he thought ‘ I could probably give most of them a run for their money even now’ , very disappointed, but entirely agree with his comments.
jpowell commented on the post, Drivers need to be discouraged from taking out rivals – Wolff 11 months, 1 week ago
Max is extremely talented , but he’s still young and obviously feels entitled to his first championship this year. Both Silverstone and Monza showed he will go for a space thinking ‘or not’ that it is his. I now […]
jpowell commented on the post, Alonso thought he had chance to win Hungarian Grand Prix 1 year ago
Alonso is a hugely skilled driver probably on a par with Hamilton,(I refer doubters to the 2007 championship), on a circuit like Hungary passing Alonso driving a reasonably competitive car without causing another […]
jpowell commented on the post, Hamilton expects "strong talks" over "unacceptable" comments by Red Bull management 1 year ago
Horner called the move by Hamilton ‘criminal’ at least twice in a post crash interview with Coulthard who made no effort to criticize him for unsporting language .DC fanned the flames by agreeing that the pass […]
jpowell commented on the post, Red Bull claim damage to Verstappen's car from Hamilton crash cost £1.3 million 1 year ago
The result of this incident (criminal attempt by a driver that should know his place) is substantial damages to the entirely innocent genius at the wheel of the substantially damaged and bear in mind owned by a […]

Sorry obviously Mercs front wing clipped red bulls rear tyre.
jpowell commented on the post, FIA unmoved as Horner calls Mercedes' lobbying of stewards "unacceptable" 1 year ago
The description shunting a driver off seems a serious exaggeration ,the Mercedes clipped the Red Bulls rear wing which itself shows it was close to not happening. Whilst I think it was a risky move against Max as […]
jpowell commented on the post, "Very aggressive" Verstappen 'didn't leave any space' – Hamilton 1 year, 1 month ago
Firstly I think Max is a fantastic driver probably the quickest at the moment , he has beaten Lewis in wheel to wheel combat in the last few races with super combative driving , Lewis has given way because the […]

As a lifelong fan of Rallying and someone who Rallycross left cold, I must say I wasn’t disappointed with ‘The Farce in The Desert’.10 minutes of this was enough I had just finished painting my boat ,so turned of […]

I am not sure of the politics of this but I always liked this guy definitely the most personable character in recent F1 managment.
jpowell commented on the post, Should Formula 1 break its 70-year-old qualifying tradition? 1 year, 11 months ago
How hard is it for Lewis to overtake Valteri on most circuits, near impossible if both cars are working correctly. So Vateri leads the championship one week and Lewis the next , this sounds almost as contrived as […]

One of the worst days of my life, at last he was nearly there, we had lost Jim Clark who undoubtly was pure genius, but Jochen was a character larger than life by a considerable power. As a fan through my teenage […]
jpowell commented on the post, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault notify FIA they intend to appeal against Racing Point penalty 2 years ago
I dont find RPs livery colour very pleasant , I understand it is an incessant of the sponsor. Apart from that I dont care very much, as a very old fan of gp racing I look to the essence of greatness I dont see […]

Before DRS in the long ago when there was effective slip streaming ,the idea was to force a car with similar performance into driver error ,not really possible now as the following car ends up with four ten quid […]
jpowell commented on the post, From the midfield to Ferrari: Eight races which showed Sainz's star potential 2 years, 2 months ago
It just shows that you can watch F1 for 55 years and still not be a judge of how good a driver might be. I always thought of him as a nice guy that was competent and a good team player I never saw him as an […]
jpowell commented on the post, Does Hamilton believe he has an "utterly unblemished record"? 2 years, 3 months ago
You should try to view Clark and Stewart’s record, I know it’s a long time ago but perhaps at their peak they were so much better than the competition they didn’t ever feel that challenged.
jpowell commented on the post, Who was the greatest F1 driver of all time? 2 years, 5 months ago
I have been a fan since the early 60’s . I have grudgingly admired the genius of Senna and Schumacher. I have been amazed at the skill of Prost and Stewart. I have wondered at the bravery of Gilles V. and […]
