I think this is a good idea, I’m not sure why but it seems to have frequently benefited faster but stricken cars and ruined a tense race of cat and mouse (Hamilton, Vettel to name but two).

I’m less sure about […]

Congrats Lewis!

The cynic in me says that he’s seen the WDC 2021 slipping away, and thus the opportunity to become the GOAT so he’s giving himself at least two more years to achieve it.

Also, they definitely […]

Hamilton behind Kimi? Sauber for the win this weekend!

“Nationality has never played a role,” he said. “We are an international company and we are global and we want to choose the best drivers.”

*casts mind back to 2010 – 2012 when Mercedes ran two German drivers…

Red Bull be like where was this performance from Gasly two years ago? Great to see him up there and doing so well now though, he’s really starting to master that AT.

Amen @randommallard

Sorry I meant to say here “before his spin towards the end of the lap”.

I noticed that Norris was a second up on Ricciardo towards the end of the lap – suggests there’s a nice turn of pace in that Mclaren this weekend, maybe it is a rocketship!

He was probably one of the finest and most high profile examples of how power attracts those who are least suited to wield it.

I think the best thing that can be said about him is that he helped make the […]

On the one hand it’s a bitter blow on a weekend where a Ferrari weekend looked entirely possible, and it was messed up entirely due to actions by Ferrari (Leclerc’s crash and subsequent engineering failure to […]

@jeanrien

Agreed, I wonder if we’ve got to a point where there is not enough time permitted in the car for the drivers now.

With just 3 days of pre-season and 3 hours of practice a weekend, it’s seems to […]

@pweb87 haha

Amazing that the Verstappen family account for 100% of Dutch podiums, I can’t think of any other countries who have all their podiums scored by one family.

I wonder if we’ll see the pecking order significantly mixed up this weekend. We’re in a very unusual situation where all the 2021 running so far has been conducted at one circuit (filming days aside) which has […]

@psynrg where are Toleman though?

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
