Unfortunately thinking a particular law is stupid doesn’t mean it’s alright to break it.
There’s currently a law stating that I can’t hunt you down and chemically castrate you so you can’t reproduce and […]

@hahostolze
I think people will ask how Red Bull/Verstappen threw it away because Max has led or beaten Hamilton into turn 1 at EVERY race this year. In three of them, he’s lost out to Hamilton by the end. And, […]

@pastaman I was just thinking of this. If F1 can provide a 3rd party engine that is free to use for all teams (obviously not free to use, but (for example) paid for in full by way of a reduction in prize money […]

The optimum angle for a car to drive at is 180 degrees (i.e, going straight) – all drivers will aim to make a corner as close to 180 degrees as possible by ensuring a wide entry, touching the apex, and a wide exit […]

The turning angle is too ‘slight’ for off-track excursions, especially on a dry track.
@jerejj care to elaborate on what you mean by this?

@rocketpanda this lack of comparison is really starting to annoy me somewhat. How often do people directly compare lap times between different formulae?

I feel like they’ve avoided it for so long that when we […]

@bernasaurus he was completely aware but admitted that he forgot about it. Hence the 6 penalty points

@rocketpanda I’d be inclined to disagree – you mention the Russell-style heroics – well Schumacher is in the same position that Russell was in last year – the worst car on the grid alongside a rookie. I see no […]

People said the same thing when he left McLaren…

I think this shows the problem with the 5 second penalty rule.

Given the choice between breaking the rules and taking a penalty or obeying the rules, a driver should always choose to obey the rules without a […]

@tifoso1989 @keithcollantine ah, I got the wrong Mika!! Thanks for the correction, didn’t realise he retracted the claim though.

@jimmi-cynic I have no source and I’ve forgotten who it was (something tells me it was Hakkinen, but no idea why he would know) but someone in the know did tweet that the penalty was a reduction in fuel flow for […]

@jerejj number of laps is hugely relevant. If a safety car is called, it cannot disappear halfway through a lap. If it’s not ready to be called in, it will stay out for a full extra lap. If there aren’t many laps […]

Unfortunately I wouldn’t be surprised if Schumacher gets comprehensively beaten by Mazepin this year.
Not due to lack of talent – he has that in spades. But because if Mazepin can pay enough money to not only […]

Mercedes-AMG-AMG-AMG-AMG-AMG-AMG-AMG-AMG-AMG-AMG F1 W12 E Performance.

@Jerejj fine, if you’re determined to continue to argue with me, I will say that it’s STILL exactly like that, only the finish also happens to be the start point. It can still be seen as a form of […]

@jerejj my point was specifically that it is always against the clock, with the fastest time winning. No racing, no fighting for position, purely the fastest time wins. And no, it is not always point A to point B […]

I think the only sprint race format that will work would be like the WRC – have a one lap sprint race, but make it so that rather than all being on the track at the same time they can go separately and we record […]

Well, on the bright side, at least this will hopefully get rid of the stupid top 10 tyre rule…
