Ticktum has his on track issues (which Mazepin is basically equal in anyways) but Ticktum, outside of the car, really is not too bad of a guy. Telling people to “chill out” over sexual assault is like, […]

@paeschli She somewhat did (calling it something like fooling/joking around, and saying the two were friends), but has since deleted that and multiple later social media posts have shown that that was not a true […]

On very first glance, it does seem like a “money over morals” type of deal this, which is very disappointing. However, if Haas didn’t put a clause into Mazepin’s contract that he could be dismissed for ‘gross […]

Yeah he’s the only one to have driven (in an official session) V6 Turbo engines from all 4 manufacturers

Re:CotD
I agree that the system theyve proposed now is needlessly complicated and is trash. Why don’t they use the format that European F3 used to use, which I believe was 3 races, second one is reverse order of […]

@aiii Racing Point would have gone with Vandoorne or Gutierrez at Silverstone, but Vandoorne was in Germany racing in Formula E and Gutierrez didn’t have a superlicence

Re: CotD
I think the thing more is that Haas have a reserve driver who actually has a super licence. Racing Point were going to use one of Merc’s reserve drivers but then they found out that Gutierrez’ super […]

@bosyber @Ajaxn the mercs were also running inters, almost everyone was running inters at the end, save for I think Raikkonen and Ocon (who had inters initially and then changed).

It is delusional to say that RBR became a big team because of Vettel. They became a big team because of Newey. RBR were a top team from 2009, when Newey got the new regs to perfection, and Vettel was promoted at […]

LOL Ricciardo didn’t “run off” because Max had the upper hand. He wanted to leave the team because he could see that they were building the team around Verstappen. He was still above Verstappen in the championship […]

@pH my bad then, from what I remember from Stewart’s comments he didn’t really rate Hamilton much at all, but that must have just been me.

@robbie I left Danny Ric out not because I don’t think RBR tried running a two-car team at the time, but that imo Ricciardo is just a good enough driver (especially mentally) that he wasn’t broken by that, plus […]

More than anything else, whether they pick Gasly, Albon, or someone else, Red Bull need to figure out how to run a two-car team. It’s something they seem to have lost the knowledge to do somewhere between 2009 and […]

2 rookies to Alfa seems unlikely, as Ferrari only have control over 1 seat.

The concept of an independent team is that it is a racing team who’s sole operation is the racing team. Ferrari, Renault, Mercedes, (and somewhat McLaren and Aston Martin from next year) are owned/part of car […]

This was the third youngest podium in F1 history. Only last year’s Brazilian GP (with Verstappen, Gasly, and Sainz combining for an average age of 23 years, 8 months, 23 days), and the 2008 Italian GP (with […]

@tflb that zoo analogy is perfect

You’d think Brawn would know better than this. These bonkers insane amazing races only happen very rarely, which is what makes them special. Could you imagine if by the end of next year Kvyat, Ocon, Stroll, and […]

This is the worst possible response take to Jelle’s point. The tire barrier wasn’t in the proper place anymore, and they are very specifically designed to deal with cars in a specific way. If they had left that […]

So according to the stewards if you try to capitalise on a rival’s mistake in an non-common overtaking place, and then when they give you no space at all you try to avoid a collision you are at fault? Makes […]
