Marvin The Martian

I watched some of the highlights on YouTube and, apart from the abysmal track and woeful racecraft, the thing that surprised me the most was the almost complete lack of fans in the stands around the track.

If […]

No. AM would have to overtake 6 teams for a sniff of a win

I should caveat that with the phrase “on merit” though as who knows what would happen should last years Hungarian skittles be repeated

I don’t think he will DNF of his own accord like Leclerc, but there is every possibility that his ICE would go pop as the Honda is less than fully reliable at the moment. With 9 races to go, he is likely to take […]

If you tell people what they need to do to keep you and they don’t want to give you that, but someone else does, why is it a surprise he has gone to those who are willing to meet his demands? Alonso is not a fool, […]

I’ve just run some quick numbers

If LH wins every GP from here on out with fastest lap = 380pts
If GR comes second and Ver and Lec share opposite 3rds and 4ths with Ver having 5 thirds to Lec’s 4
GR = 320 […]

Then perhaps believe F1’s own research that showed only 6.7% of fans said it improved the show.

My guess is that you don’t believe anything that does not conform to your particular set of truths. Prices will […]

Expected and left completely low key, chosen to chase other opportunities, closer to family etc. otherwise the FIA might have had a problem if they’d have sacked him. Would have inevitably have led to a slew of […]

So how do I stop the wheels falling off my premiership, I’ve not got any nuts?

Don’t strain yourself, patting yourself on the back Mr Brawn, we’re not even half a season in yet.

Yes, racing is good in the last 10 laps when the race has been neutralised and people have very little to lose […]

Bottas’ audition for the role of ‘The Stig’ wasn’t reaping dividends

Correct, the FIA are not the employer and the drivers work for the teams, however, ALL the cars porpoise as a result of physics determined by aerodynamics which are determined by FIA technical regulations. They […]

Her leaving would have been subject to contractual clauses. It would not be possible to institute gardening leave if she was not leaving to a direct competitor which is what the gardening leave clauses are for. […]

I agree with Binotto as a TD is just that, a directive, not a regulation. But something does have to be done as if not, it is not beyond someone to point out to the teams, who employ the drivers, that they are not […]

F1 graphics are trying to converge with the computer game to give a seamless feel from one to the other. I find the graphics getting more and more intrusive and, certainly with some poor visual directing from the […]

Bruh, eating Checo won’t give you wings!

he has no claim to the concrete apron in front of another teams pit garages. It’s an unofficial bit of polite activity for the neighbouring pit to bring in the hoses to allow for smooth pit stop as the same is […]

We’ll that’s going to suck

Remember when DRS broke in 2019 for 17 laps and Bottas still managed to overtake from the back of the grid?

I expect that at some point this year, DRS will ‘fail’ again to see how the race runs without it, […]

People tend to forget just how turgid the racing was in the heyday of the 80’s and 90’s when there was a dominant force of Williams or McLaren or whatever and teams such as Arrows used to regularly fall foul of […]

DRS needs tweaks. I can’t believe the system is so slow that it can’t tell who is 1s behind at the activation line. DRS shouldn’t be available before the cars enter the straight that DRS is on. Either that, or […]
