Marvin The Martian

Make it standalone and that parc ferme rules don’t apply.

Change the format. FP1 and sprint qualy on Friday, sprint on Saturday morning followed by FP2 and full qualy for the race.

Award points in r […]

in a very strict sense, there is no context when it is written down. A regulation, or rule or scope or whatever legalese way you say it, has to be definitive by definition otherwise the laxity o language will be […]

Mick Schumacher has, historically, taken a season to find his feet, then in his second season he operates at a much higher level and i expect to see the same next year. This may be complicated by the introduction […]

Surely it is Webber’s job to go and get money behind him if it is hamstringing his career

In short, heading in the right direction means that the natural order is disrupted and more people pay money on one of the 3 days.

Who cares if the sprint is boring, we get more cash

I am enormously sceptical of all of these surveys as they are usually couched in a way that confirms a corporate direction regardless of the actual answer to the question.

I.e. they have not asked if you watch […]

@Mayrton What? Win? :)

Interest, access and understanding, amongst other reasons.

STEM is not, has never been, and likely never will be cool, nor will it ever be a route to untold millions for dreamers. F1, like most elite activities […]

Looks like Herman Tilke’s 3D printer had adhesion issues on a great big turn leading to a turn 8 clone.

Not convinced by the layout yet but it an only be an improvement on Sochi. If Tilke’s consultancy is so […]

I prefer it to the normal livery, but then again, the Gulf 917 is my all-time favourite car.

I’ve never liked the mango coloured McLaren as I’ve always thought using the word papaya was to steer people away […]

Grosjean’s injuries were to his hands because of the gap between sleeve and glove, and of course his shoe came off.

How difficult would it be to make the race suits incorporate the gloves and socks all in one, […]

Yes. Take a look at Ben Ainslie’s boat and the Team Ineos Cycling teams gear. Nothing but Ineos or Ineos owned brands

If the new Merc follows the same lines, it’s going to look pretty good. That said, if he […]

Can’t afford to develop the current engine as it costs too much, must freeze the tech now.

Are looking to develop their own engine from 2025 to the new, unknown rules.

The hypocrisy is strong with RB

Whilst I think that all of the above is good, there is one area of focus that has been totally missed.

Ineos came in when the budget cap was ratified. Ineos are a world leader in petrochemical and exotic […]

As it goes, Lance Stroll comes across as a very likeable bloke. He is rarely heard saying anything remotely derogatory and it’s easy to see that he has been brought up respectfully. He does have a whingy side “why […]

He is not a pay driver and hasn’t been since leaving Williams.

That his father owns the team does not mean he is still in the realms of a pay driver as that would assume that he doesn’t deserve his place in […]

Absolutely right. More concerned about timing and ‘the show’ than safety.

Let’s hope they don’t do a Sepp Blatter and determine that there is nothing to see here to protect the reputation of the FIA. Michael Masi had made 2 questionable calls in the last 2 races involving marshal saf […]

Michael Masi should not be contrite. He should have known better. He is the safety director. Twice in 2 races he has determined that the show must continue with marshals on track when he has access to more data […]

I imagine the conversation below is being had one way or another
RB- Honda, Tsunoda is going to drive for Alpha Tauri next year
Honda- yes, and?
RB- stick around for one more year until the engine freeze at the […]
