Well, it’s a trade off. I certainly think nimbler cars are more exciting to watch, but at the same time, I’m really glad that the trend of off- camber-slow-corner-connected to a straight in a parking lot til […]

Fully agree, and what’s best is the history, reaching for almost 1 century of legends racing there, it’s incredible. From pre F1 era going thru every period in F1 adds something truly special. From every cor […]

Good choice, and with the reset on pecking order for new gen cars, KMag can perform well if opportunity arises. Haas needed someone capable of maximizing opportunities, KMag is the guy, he knows all the team, […]

Knock knock, Mr. Haas? There’s two gentlemen here to talk to you, Mr. Mario and Michael. They apologize for not scheduling a meeting first, but they said you might be interested in their proposal….

Disagree with you on that, we had memorable races there in the 80s and 90s, and also some really good ones in 2000s with the chicanes on tamburello already. I’d rather have tracks like Imolain F1 with character a […]

Agree with you, and I consider myself a neutral fan too. If anything the decision to dump Masi just shows that the teams have a lot of influence on FIA, more than expected really. The things needed here were […]

Wow , a bit of over reaction not? A simple engine failure in testing , on the totally revampedRebault engine is quite normal. As they said, due to freezing on engines, they pushed for split turbos, and performance […]

Last year’s livery was much better, this one is messy, if was only needed to mix BWT with Alpine colours wouldn’t be that bad, but they also needed to cope with the red Mapfre logo. Not my favourite, but at lea […]

I’m curious too see if these ground effect cars will have the same driving skills required from the old ground effect cars from early 80s, where you couldn’t touch the kerbs not to disturb the ground effect by let […]

Lewis is a great driver, one of the best. But it’s best to always remind that from 2007 until 2013 , in 7 seasons having really competitive cars in at least 80% of these first 7 years, he got only 1 c […]

I loved the livery, looks a lot like the late 80s / early 90s Ferrari! Beautiful car. It looks the Sidepods are similar to Haas (a bit more extreme) which to leads me to think that maybe that’s the best c […]

I hate it, they are giving more importance to sprint races, more weight to them with more points being given. Let’s see if a championship is decided due to the outcome of Sprint races. For me if this happens it w […]

Capito can provide much better focus and steer Williams in the good direction, he is doing really well with the tools that were given to him. The truth is that Claire wasn’t fit for the role. With Jost I can see t […]

Yes the nose reminded me a bit of FW13 too! Really good looking, and livery fit well with rain tires! What’s great is that we are seeing interesting differences in design concepts until now. No need to worry a […]

Agree, 1 hour delay is better than 2,5days of testing back in 2019. Hope they produce a great car, but let’s wait and see.
