That American woke nonsense has spread into the paddock since Liberty took over though F1 is rapidly becoming the wokest sport in the world even more than NBA, NFL… I personally don’t share this enthusiasm […]

You are misremembering then… This is just the very first one I found from 2 minutes searching the archives.

That depends on your goals. If your goal is to produce the absolute best possible team with no restrictions, you’ll go for the best possible for any job regardless of any other factor (or at least you’ll […]

Maybe something like the following: Any team which completes at least 90% of the maximum laps completed in a practice session gains a 1% bonus to their development time Note: 1% not 1 percentage point, so ATR […]

This is no different to the vast majority of the years Mercedes dominated Agreed to a point, although at least when Merc was most dominant we saw a fight between their two drivers. This year is going to be the […]

They are two very different concepts. “Being realistic” is accepting the reality of a situation and making the best of it. “Throwing in the towel” is a boxing phrase denoting giving up a fight before it is […]

I’m on board with a project like this. Just as an experiment, if nothing else, it’ll be interesting to see if they can get a truly balanced split of genders in such male-dominated areas as motorsport and […]

That’s always an issue, especially when using wasted byproducts. Bio-diesel can be made fairly easily using waste vegetable oil, which chippies etc would give you for free if you asked (or even pay you to take […]

Are you seriously saying you don’t think the RBR is a significantly faster car than the competition?

Precisely. Have they ever thought that part of the reason the porpoising was reduced was because of the limits, so without the limits some teams could well push things towards dangerous levels of porpoising again […]

Seems silly to remove something implemented for driver safety. Agreed, if there is a safety concern which led to limits backed up by medical advice, surely removing those limits could lead to teams doing […]

@macleod We will see as we don’t have much info on this circuit with these new cars. F1 raced last year in Melbourne.

I think that’s very fair. Perez is not good enough (IMHO) to even come close to Verstappen in an even fight, the team clearly (and rightly) favours Max, and Max isn’t prepared to do anything to help his team […]

I’m going to have to give FE another shot, I think. I tried previously and found, while the races were relatively exciting, that was often more down to the drivers crashing than the quality of racing (not to […]

First ever fourth DRS zone OMG really?!?! If they are having to add DRS zones, that doesn’t really speak well of the changed regulations. IMHO the new regs have been a success, though not as much as we […]

I doubt we will see it, though. They will only push as hard as they need to. It will take something fairly serious for them to show their hand.

sporting administrators just apply their own interpretations of the rules however they see fit For most of the season, that can just about be stretched to cover what we saw. The stewards have a great deal of […]

Yeah, I know, but I can dream…

Yeah, humans love using weighted random number generators to produce narrative.

Many things have changed. I don’t doubt that there is British bias in the British F1 coverage*, but I’m pretty sure there would be a similar level of reaction in today’s climate of the newly-dominant team had a […]
