Ferrari should not have pitted Sainz under the safety car, since he had hard tyres in his car.
Doing so, for medium tyres, meant another stop later on.
If Sainz had kept going, he could have changed onto the […]

Yes, this must be investigated. No, Red Bulls pushing other cars off the track at Silverstone must not be investigated.

If both Ferraris and Red Bulls were in the mix, then the gamble makes sense as only 5th place could be squandered. But with 1 Ferrari and 1 Red Bull missing, this was a golden opportunity to achieve 3rd. That was […]

After a difficult start to the season, McLaren Lego their designer.

Good one!

Thank you for the report. 3 months seemed like a long time, but now I’ve seen the report I can understand why it took so long. Good principles to uphold, I’m sure.

Integrity is displayed by continually making the right and fair decision.
Every time a wrong or unfair decision is made, integrity is eroded until it is collapses.
The FIA president can claim that their […]

Surely the fastest driver on Friday will be on pole position for the first part of the GP race on Saturday, whereas the winner of the first part will be on pole for the second part of the GP race on Sunday.
Pole […]

Not convinced that giving a driver with such aggressive driving such a high ranking is sending the right message. Shame, max did have some excellent races. But driving people off the circuit and brake testing them […]

What rank would the author have given Hamilton if Masi hadn’t changed the rules and Hamilton had won the last race?

Goodbye

As soon as there was a safety car at that Kate stage, the championship would be decided by the decisions of the race director.
Surely a red flag and restart would have been a fairer decision than the race […]

Hamilton has 5 poles this year. Bottas has 4. Verstappen has 9.

I do not see this as an either/or situation.
Surely there are a number of stewards, so some could be permanent and some could be on a group of races basis.
I also think that the principles should be written down […]

Did Lewis make up the time of the pit stop?
Not according to the graph above.
The only questions that remains are whether the tyres would have gone off even more, and whether the guys catching him could have […]

If Norris had pitted for inters when instructed, he would have finished 1st or 2nd. Probably 1st.
If Hamilton hadn’t pitted fir inters when he did, Verstappen would probably have won.

Only wrong with the sprint race was its length. Suggest 3 laps instead.

And maybe have a pre-sprint race as well, 3 laps.

How about a pre-pre-sprint race, 3 laps.

Etectera.

Max had a better car and in my opinion would have been better to back off and let Lewis have the corner. Max could overtake Lewis later. That approach is what great drivers with superior equipment have done in the […]
