Enjoying these mid-season rankings, thanks.

One suggestion: For some reason, I find the graph at the start of the “race by race” section incredibly hard to decipher. I know it should be easy to figure out that […]

I wholeheartedly supported Leclerc during the first few races of the year, because I wanted to see a good championship battle between him and Verstappen. Now, for the latter half of the year, I think I’ll just […]

Zandvoort has some high speed corners plus the two banked corners, making loads in the tyres quite heavy. I’m guessing Pirelli plays it safe.

F1 is if spelled backwards, but yes, Hamilton would have been closer in the mix from the start. However, looking how good Verstappen was today, I find it hard to believe the Mercedes could have finished ahead.

The NASCAR/iRacing co-operation is really interesting. F1 could use something like that in the future: just laser scan a suggested route in a city and see if it works in a simulation, if not, then make some […]

Thanks to this round-up, I learned what a “space hopper” is.

Is this the first time Mercedes are running someone else in practice than their race drivers?

Two updates in one: the first and the last for this season :)

Depends where you live. In the US, yes, lucking out means good things, but in British English, not so much.

I agree with the F1TV commentary, this was a slam dunk racing incident. While Russell did understeer slightly after hitting the inside kerb, Perez had tons of space on the outside but decided to turn in too eagerly.

While Ferrari were faster today, the 38 point gap is looking rather healthy for Verstappen. If his/Red Bull’s bad day means a P2 or P3 while a bad day for Ferrari means a DNF, it will take quite a lot for the […]

Solid 7/10 from me. I thought Verstappen had this easily bag, so my expectations were exceeded as we had a somewhat decent fight for the podium positions and some good midfield action.

Depends how you count. For example, the 1978 Belgian GP had 15 (!) GP winners on the grid. If you count only the drivers who actually started the race (24), the percentage is pretty high, but if you take into […]

“[S]everal people attempted to enter the track” attempted? They did enter it and sat in the middle of the track.

9/10. Pretty much the best race and racing you can have in F1 – and in dry conditions!

Hard to imagine how this could’ve been more exciting. Maybe some changeable weather conditions and a surprise winner (like […]

Should be an “easy” win for either of the Red Bulls. Just stay close enough to Leclerc in the opening laps and then pass with the straight line speed advantage. Hopefully I’m wrong and we get a good scrap at the front.

Voted for MotoGP, but there definitely isn’t a graphics package that shines on all areas.

As the old saying goes, you are only as good as your last race. The current form of Perez reminds me a bit of Coulthard in the 2000 season: a second driver that finds a bit more extra boost and challenges the […]

“Q1 red flag did not appear on system, says Williams’ Robson”
Yup, it was also missing from the onscreen graphics for some 30 seconds.

So, Horner is saying “because we can’t do it, this rule should be removed.”
