Keep DRS, but change the rules. Every driver has it for 1 min per race and they have to use it tactically. Add it to the graphics. Would mix things around a bit!

During the BLM moment before the Grand Prix on Sunday, my six year old daughter asked what it was all about. I said it was about everyone making sure everyone was equal in the sport and the World. She seemed […]

With the rate of spread of Coronavirus, I would not be surprised if it disrupts multiple Grands Prix this year.

Imagine if someone within the F1 world were to contract it and spread it to others: there is a […]

I think the most astonishing part of the day was that there were no red flags! A testament to all the teams being able to design and build cars with reliability in mind.

Given the massive improvement in batteries in the past 10 years, I think it is fair to say that battery power will be the industry standard going forward 10 years. On the road, they will be able to last for many […]

I gave it a 9.

Perhaps this is because I’m on holiday in Turkey and the only available coverage had no commentary in any language, and no radio feeds.. I had to concentrate and work stuff out for myself!

Oh.. that’s why Williams are doing so well. Wait… it’s a combination of chassis, aero and PU..

The obvious (for me) answer is to install a sensor: if all 4 wheels are outside track limits, impose a penalty in the form of a “penalty lane” next time they pass it. This could mean that these cars will have to […]

While you’re at it, please can they remove the walls at Monaco? They cause loads of damage to the cars.

Alternatively, tell your drivers not to drive on the kerbs.

I’ve often said that every circuit should have a “penalty lane”. This could be managed similar to the way that Formula E have their activation zone for attack mode. Drivers would have to take the longest way aroun […]

No, no, no.

What was he supposed to do? Sit behind all of the slower cars? Or actually give overtaking a go. From where he was he had to do what Monaco is known for- gambling. He rolled the dice and lost this […]

Imagine if Formula E became faster than F1 on the same circuits and distances. That would be embarrassing. F1 should retain the fastest technology no matter what.

I’m not too fussed by this- let’s let it run and see how good/bad it is.

I’d also like to propose (without any irony):
1. Strong DRS, but eliminate DRS zones- just give each driver 90 seconds of DRS per race […]

Read this as “Alonso reckons for the first time in ages, the McLaren might be alright”

Brands Hatch is on the perifery of London. Just saying…

Just a thought: why did the race director send the safety car out so early and deprive us of whatever might have happened on the rest of lap 1? The safety car was not required until the start/finish straight, not […]

I have the same… logged it on the tech help but but not got a response.

It is a moot point whether the halo saved Leclerc today. However, what today showed is that flying cars can get very close to drivers’ heads and that is not acceptable, hence I am a reluctant supporter of halo.

Apart from Maria de Villota.

*Possibly* would have at least deflected Massa’s spring as well which could easily have killed him.

Justin Wilson would have been saved by it: and we see that sort of incident […]

1/10. A lifelong fan of F1, but can’t but think that some of this year’s races have been terrible (Spain, Monaco, Canada). Whilst Azerbaijan was probably the best race ever. But I do not want to see many more rac […]
