You do realise a person can have a perfectly valid & subjective opinion of what they deem is ‘right’, ‘just’ and ‘correct’ and they are welcome to assume that the body that operates the sport will align with them, […]

Can you explain how MB knew about the technical directive about the floor. The rule wasn’t communicated by the FIA but MB had already a solution.The stay was literally a duplication of an existing part that they p […]

No body said the message was wrong, just that the rule said no clothes with statements.I’m pretty sure that rule was introduced in response to his t-shirt protest on the podium, so he didn’t actually break any law there.

Optimaximal commented on the post, W Series cancels final races of 2022 and declares Chadwick champion 7 months, 3 weeks ago
I believe it was only the funding for the US leg that failed to arrive, although I agree that the FIA should be putting more funding into these lower series instead of relying on them to find absurd commercial […]

@ajpennypacker Surely it’s clear that the problem is a commercial one, not a fundamental flaw with the series? The reason the season exists (and why this year failed) is the same reason why we don’t have many […]

@ajpennypacker In other sports there are hefty fines for slandering other teams/players or undermining the referee.I know, it’s honestly surprised the Red Bull Corporation havent been bankrupted by Horner and Marko!

Yet Red Bull let go even more employees… …to Alpha Tauri’s MK design shop, to RB Powertrains or to work in the external contracting teams. Just like how Ferrari shuffled a load of people to (officially) work […]

@joshgeake If that’s the case, then it should be the rule-maker who has the final say, as is often the case with the sporting regulations.

@sjaakfoo …trying to get an engine freeze situated… Don’t be naive. This is *exactly* what RBR were after, because they knew that the other more committed manufacturers would just have continued developing […]

@todfod It’s linked to the corporate accounts for the reason that these are the accounts that are delivered to the legislative and tax bodies of the team’s respective countries each year. If a team were to lie […]

Optimaximal commented on the post, One Formula 1 team was "massively over" the budget cap in 2021 – Wolff 8 months ago
Try imagining health equalization in other sports, like athletics, or cycling.Do athletics or cycling put heavier emphasis on the equipment over the athlete’s ability and allow the richest competitors to simply […]

Optimaximal commented on the post, One Formula 1 team was "massively over" the budget cap in 2021 – Wolff 8 months ago
Here’s a thought – what if the real reason the RB-Porsche deal collapsed was because they had ‘materially’ broken the rules and when the German’s did their due diligence, they ran a mile?

Both drivers in question are doing as much as they can on a personal level to reduce their carbon footprint, which is all an individual really can do. The main cost to the environment in F1 is the travel between […]

@duuxdeluxe I guess the key here is ‘putting their money where their mouth is’…
The people who Lewis and Sebastian criticised at the time were the people who made their money in/out of F1 who then sat back […]

@phil-f1-21 RBR aren’t building the engines themselves. Honda are doing all the work still. RBPT won’t be running anything in-house in anger until 2026, assuming it’s not mothballed by then…
