While COTA’s stadium section is incredibly slow, it usually enables some kind of overtaking (usually due to tyre differences). It would be nice to have a layout that bypasses that section somehow, though. My […]

““I’m excited that F1’s here, but go build your own IP, go build your own 114 years of of existence, and not steal ours.”” According to the all-knowing internet, the slogan was first used in 1955. And the rac […]

Anyone know when was the last time there were three multiple champions on the podium? Was it the 1991 US GP at Phoenix with Senna, Prost, and Piquet? Yeah, we had Hamilton, Vettel, and Alonso on the podium in […]

Actually, on F1TV they said that if the red flag comes out before everyone has passed the first intermediate, the results are taken from the previous lap. The precedent was apparently set in Silverstone last year […]

Until the last laps I was going to comment that this was utterly forgettable. After T3 on the opening lap I was hoping we would have a proper race, but nope: Red Bull had some two seconds in hand per lap compared […]

I answered “slightly reduced”, but that might be partly just a natural fluctuation. For example, I wasn’t that engaged with the 2001 or 2002 seasons partly due to the Finnish broadcasting team changing (and me […]

While this is possible, I remember seeing such questions asked in the past. For example, after the first race of 2007 or 2013, parts of the Finnish media went crazy and pondered the possibility of “Kimi’s team” […]

Indeed. While it is great to see the whole field so close, Red Bull especially had plenty in hand. Then again, the track evolution was (apparently) pretty significant, so it is hard to judge exactly what the gap […]

My wish list for this season is for it to not feel like a chore. I would very much like to look forward to each race weekend instead of having a feeling of “F1 is on again? Oh man…”

When was the last time a new F1 track was actually finished properly in the time frame the FIA rules state? (Or maybe they’ve been changed, but I vaguely recall reading that there should be quite a gap between the […]

“Which new motorsport games are you most eager to play in 2023?”
GeneRally 2!

And of course, in terms of more realistic stuff, keeping racing with iRacing in a league. Maybe try some AC mods and have a go with […]

This is a title I might pick up from a sale at some point, as the number of stages does sound interesting. Although the part about inconsistent difficulty sounds strange: in some ways, rally games then have not […]

Yeah, if you read the quote carefully, Domenicali mentions “results”, not viewership. I have no idea what these F1-favouring results are; I suppose you can generate or interpret the data in thousands different […]

Regarding the Brown quote: F1 is probably the only sport where the future (or the past, if you feel nostalgic) is always better than the current era/season. It seems that we are always promised better things in […]

Just in case this was not sarcasm: the hemp fibre used in these cars does not have any THC content.

Interesting that they chose Qatar. The track wasn’t the greatest in terms of racing (especially when looking at the other ones on this list), then again, it was just one race so it might be a bit early to judge. […]

Went with the obvious choice: Schumacher and Ricciardo. Schumacher will do a few years as a third driver somewhere and then will be picked up, while Ricciardo emulates Hulkenberg and returns for a two-year […]

Felt generous and gave it a 6/10. Surprisingly good for this track: decent action in the mid-pack, a good split in strategy to shake things up.

While the season did not go out with a bang, it did not go out […]

The 1978 Belgian GP had 15 (!) GP winners on the grid, so having 12 is not a new record (although percentage-wise it might be).

This got a 8/10 from me. At this point in the season I have found myself to be completely drained of energy to care much about F1, but this race was fun to watch. It was unclear who was going to win and there were […]
