Vandoorne almost certainly has a deal with DS. De Vries has been holding out since there was a slim chance of an F1 seat.

What made it so big is that it directly changed the outcome of the WDC. So it’s certainly the most consequential goof-up in F1 history in terms of the sporting outcome.

The guys who react are English speaking. Vips is not. I can’t look into his mind, but I think it’s more likely that to him it’s a cool sounding word he picked up from Samuel L. Jackson movies and countless other […]

That depends entirely on where you grew up. Where I live, lots of kids use the n-word because it’s a funny English word they hear in TikTok videos. They don’t even know it’s supposed to be a racial slur. When a […]

Because Mercedes are making by far the most noise about it.

It’s not anti-Mercedes to think they are playing up the problem hoping to get a rules change. I think these political games are delightful personally. They laid it on a little too thick this weekend, but it was […]

I think it’s obvious that this weekend’s complaints and suggestions to change the rules by Mercedes were orchestrated. It’s only cynical if it’s not true. If it is, you’re naive for buying it.

FE has never seemed interest in attracting actual fans, only in impressing sponsors who want to greenwash their image. E.g. the confusing screen graphics, where all cars are represented in light blue. For a first […]

Media will publish what their readers want to read. You read this, so perhaps it’s you that’s “disgusting”.

You’re exactly right. It’s a constructor’s championship and no two teams can use the same car, except for certain parts (which Haas mostly gets from Ferrari).

While I opposed the Iraq invasion, attacking and destroying a peaceful democracy is still something else.

With the current rules, sprint races were pointless, other than the extra start and the first two laps. If they’d implement some of the excellent changes proposed by ChainBear, I’d be all for more sprint races. As […]

I don’t like this particular formula, but I’m very happy that it will now give all drivers equal chances, and the grid order will actually reflect their speed. I gave up on FE during last season’s randomness, but […]

How many Indy drivers are worse than Mazepin, do you reckon?
The license system should be about making sure F1 drivers have enough experience and are of a decent level. Anyone who finishes an Indy season in, say, […]

Put them in a Mercedes and they’d all be regular podium finishers in F1. You seem to forget that the cars are much closer in Indy than they are in F1. So of course noone stands out like the Mercedes and Red Bull […]

It wasn’t difficult at all, as the rules described very precisely what he had to do. Instead he threw the rulebook out and made it up his own rules on the spot, thus changing the outcome of the WDC. “Incompetent” […]

Following procedure would have guaranteed Hamilton the win, as the SC would have lasted until the end.

“It’s very close between the two cars” – classic Hamilton comment when he has an unbeatable car.

@mysticus: “4 times in a row exact same parts failing is just a coincidence and plain fail, but Mercedes whose same part never failed before, was intentionally designed to fail?”

You don’t seem to understand […]

@mysticus: “If it conforms to regulations why the need the change it? ”

Because it is damaged.

Damaged parts that are still within regulations, can be replaced.

Damaged parts that are not within […]
