I don’t like his whiny voice either, but it’s important to note that he was 100% right. Could Mercedes have timed that pit stop any worse?

btw I accidentally clicked “report comment” instead of “reply”, apologies P. Petterson & mods.

Noone is able to overtake anyone in Monaco. That really means nothing.

An overtake in Monaco? What are you smoking?

You really haven’t noticed a Mercedes tendency to undersell their chances?

Does fanboost divide opinion? That’s strange, I’ve never heard anyone say they like the concept. There are two things about Formula E that are universally detested and could easily be fixed: Fanboost and the […]

I haven’t seen any expert who isn’t a Brit like Russell who doesn’t think it was entirely Russell’s fault.

It’s only the USA’s 42nd city, according to Wikipedia, not the 7th. I wonder why F1 was so keen to race there. Except for the TV series Miami Vice, it’s a completely unknown place. I don’t know a single building […]

I’m surprised and somewhat disappointed with Horner’s diplomatic choice of words. He should have said that Szafnauer is a sore loser who’s gone delusional.

Useless poll. Everyone wants DRS gone, the question should be whether we want to get rid of it immediately, or wait until the cars and/or circuits have been ‘fixed’ so cars can pass each other without this […]

Um, Vandoorne was an average 0.25s behind Alonso, in his rookie season. Alpine will be glad if Ocon can stay that close in his 4th season.

I think he’s already dragging his car to places it doesn’t belong. Don’t expect much more. The man’s a beast though.

“The engine is better, there is no doubt. We know that the engine has made a large step forward. Is it enough? It depends how much the other guys progress in the meantime. We have no way to estimate that”

If […]

I don’t recall there being any F1 races during the age of conquest. If you want to avoid places with a horrible past, you probably couldn’t go anywhere anymore. You could just avoid regimes that are abusing human […]

If they don’t award any points, then the sprint race will effectively be the first part of the actual race. If you pass two cars in the sprint race, that’s two less cars you have to pass in the actual race. So […]

They’ll probably sell (part of) the operation to a car manufacturer at the first occasion though. Much like Ilmor became Mercedes.

Hear hear. If only a favored few can participate, then it’s not a sport but just a show. A sport is open to anyone who can compete.

Technical reliability is part of what makes the Mercedes car better than the Red Bull. It’s not like the Red Bull would have had less technical failures if Lewis had taken a sabbatical. As for non-technical bad […]

McLaren wasn’t in the midfield then, they were backmarkers. But suppose in 2022 Mercedes have a car that’s a bit worse than Red Bull’s. Then Hamilton might make a difference and still put them in contention for […]

Mercedes have to weigh Hamilton’s marketing value against his cost. If Hamilton’s marketing value is 40 million, but Russell is 50 million cheaper, then Russell could be the sensible choice.
