Bottas may not be the driver the fans want, but he’s the driver Mercedes need – not disruptive and fast enough to be a good wingman for Hamilton. Whether this is how Bottas sees the […]

@jerejj yes, I meant poor record on human rights. Corrupt government and warmongering and the like. As a race though, it’s generally been superb (first year excepted) and it’s got some real character about it.

@jerejj I guess the Azerbaijan GP is run as much as propaganda as a chance for fans to watch F1, so the country still derives value from running it behind closed doors.

It’s a shame though, despite their poor […]

Fingers crossed international travel is opened up and there can be some attendance at the Algarve International Circuit

I would have thought it’s a no brainer for Liberty to go with deploying (and improving) their own streaming service rather than taking the (admittedly, huge) sum of money from Sky.

1.22 million watching last […]

@aiii Agreed. Well, just below Enzo anyway.

but their main reason to exist as a team is to further sales of the mother brand

Surely this is no different to any other F1 team? If Ferrari races to sell road cars and sells road cars to fund racing then you […]

Nobody talking about Danny Ric doing a Mansell ’95?

It sounds like they designed the car for a man of Norris’ stature

His only real hope of being back in a RBR or AT car next year is if Perez flops, proving that Red Bull don’t know how to run a second car. I rate that about 33% likely as RBR are surely now aware this target is […]

Red Bull have already built chassis that have beaten those built by car manufacturer’s as prestigious as Toyota, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Renault, BMW, Lotus, Alfa Romeo and Caterham despite not being a car […]

I think this is a smart recognition across all the teams of the state of the world and the need to conserve cash for the next few years while the economic crisis plays out.

I imagine there’ll be some minor […]

Great article, I don’t think a huge amount about the liveries other than to make snap judgements on whether I like them or not but it’s interesting to read the thoughts of someone who thinks more deeply about it. […]

@slotopen I think it’s the opposite – it raises the outer edge, which means the amount of speed you can carry around the outside increases which makes overtakes more viable

There are some sensible suggestions here, especially changing the camber at Turn 13. I’m sure they can implement it whilst retaining the character of the track.

Do we know whether this will be ticketed yet? I know it’s still early but if it is this will be my first post-lockdown jaunt

(and yes I’m aware that I’m optimistically assuming the lockdown rollout both here […]

I like it! I’m surprised he hasn’t got Virgin involved

@alloythere A bit cheeky, but I’m hoping by the end of 2021 we’ll look back at Vettel’s season and see him as another example.

I can’t really think of any other signings that fit the bill though. Maybe […]
