“There’s this massive loophole and we’re very excited to exploit it!” said absolutely nobody to the press ever.

Just to work that out a bit more precisely; assuming you don’t fall into one of the higher priority groups:

The British GP weekend starts on the 16th of July. So your second jab would have to have been by the […]

@robbie That’ll teach me for skim reading before shooting off a reply.

That’s interesting though. So for reference I’m 38 and I had my first vaccine shot at the earliest point I was able to book it. I won’t be […]

I’ve got mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I feel like it’s pretty positive. For all the major failings in the UK’s COVID response, the vaccination programme has been very successful and by the time of […]

While I disagree in part with Williams’ tweet, it does touch on a theme I do agree with, which is that the constant glorification of the past comes at the expense of the present.

We seem to be consumed by […]

I wonder whether the decision to go with this livery had nothing really to do with Gulf, and it’s just a brainwave by Zak Brown to get eyes on the car. Gulf aren’t the title sponsor for McLaren, and I guess it’s […]

I really like that livery but something feels a bit off about it. The thing that strikes me is that there are very few actual Gulf logos and the ones that are there are tiny. Compared to the VUSE logos which are […]

Maybe I’m nitpicking here but I’m surprised that course cars like these would be such a dark colour. I’d have thought they should be nice and bright so they’re very visible even when it’s dark or in bad conditions.

I totally take the point you’re making but I would be pedantic and point out that the Cosworth V8 you’re referring to only came into existence thanks to Ford.

I think the question you need to ask is what you […]

@coldfly I did wonder whether anyone would make this point. It’s true that there have been very successful teams which you’d consider ‘independent’ by the definition of manufacturers in F1. My point is more that […]

@balue We may end up having to agree to disagree on this one. I think you need to consider F1 in the broader context of societal attitudes towards cars, motorsports, and technology as a whole. The undeniable fact […]

I think it’s almost impossible at this point to predict what direction F1 is going to go in – or whether it’s even going to still exist in a recognisable form in 30 years’ time.

Whatever the future state of […]

@Robbie I reckon both will look great either in the bright sunshine or, perhaps especially, under floodlights. I really like the Alpine as well – I’ve been a fan of the Signatech Alpine LMP cars over the years and […]

I really hope we get a better model as viewers in the future. I’ve been left out in the cold in recent years because the cost of Sky is too high and NowTV isn’t a heck of a lot better. I’ve ended up having to pay […]

I think that’s absolutely stunning. Gorgeous green, really glad they didn’t go with drab old BRG. Looks like they’ve spent a lot of time (and one assumes money) developing the aero concept as well. I’ve always […]

Not going to critique the livery because, let’s face it, that’s just a paintjob and you could paint it brown with pink pokadots and it would go just as fast.

What I do like is that there’s been some nice […]

Relieved it’s nothing too serious, although I suspect he’ll be in quite a lot of pain. The big worry with those kind of accidents is head or spinal injuries, most else you can make a full recovery. Sending […]

This is potentially very good news, not just for RBR but for the whole of F1 with the engine freeze. Coming as it does at a point where performance has more or less equalised between manufacturers. Except Ferrari. […]

I can see what you’re saying but I don’t think it’s quite correct. Looking at some of the tracks that are most popular for trackdays in the UK, Silverstone aside, basically all of them are surrounded by grass and […]
