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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Botas obviously enjoys driving in the rally style , I know he has taken part in other more traditional Finnish events up against experienced drivers with some sucess. Many,Many, Many years ago F1 drivers were more […]
