@spencer No one can step in on such a short notice. However Renault, RB/Honda and Ferrari can produce some more engines of course. In fact they must do so by the rules. And the huge damages Merc will have to pay […]

@mrboerns You must be new to F1 if you think that the huge damages Merc will have to pay for braking said contracts both with the teams and with the FIA will not be enough to arrange for some more engines to be […]

Absolutely correct @dedischado. That’s what they should’ve done and because they didn’t this whole stupid situation unfolded

@asleepatthewheel I’m afraid you’re incorrect. The chicane wasn’t added because of the Moto GP accident. It was added much earlier than that a few years prior to the accident. In fact MotoGP continues to use the […]

+ vast majority of the F1 fans

@cduk_mugello There are other tracks that have long sweeping corners and produce decent racing. It’s the godawful and totally pointless chicane before the track’s only long straight that is the main problem.

@esploratore Clearly a car starting on pole can’t be that slow. The 1996 was horribly unreliable but it was slow only on some tracks while on others it was pretty quick.

2005 the tire debacle it was a fault of […]

Re: COTD @bascb I think the only fair thing to say so far about the Alfa Romeo pair is that Gio is so far consistently quicker over one lap, while KR is consistently quicker on race pace. Anything else is a lie […]

You should facepalm yourself, not so smart guy.

It’s advantage Verstappen clearly. Lewis did brilliantly to negate that in 3 out of 4 races and had a huge amount of luck in the fourth.

Monaco is an atypical […]

I’d watched every Monaco GP since 1994. And this is easily in the top 3 worst out of the 28 so far. A 1, but if I could give a minus mark or zero, I would

And yet they allowed the mobile chicane Deledda who at no point of the weekend was fast enough to not be a mobile chicane and endanger himself and others to start the race. Mental stuff! I think in motorsport they […]

@stefmeister Even better. the plan is that the ground effect oriented aero will allow cars to follow more closely and therefore “replace” the artificial DRS. The means aren’t relevant to the subject at hand, as […]

I’m all for it, however the truth is there’s no other circuit in Spain ready or willing to host F1, and IMO no circuit better, apart from maybe Aragon but even that I find fairly unimaginative.

Plus, not every […]

@xenn1 It used to be a problem many years ago but now they’d said that with modern barrier technology it’s not the problem a couple of years ago already. If you look at the press release insufficient runoff being […]

I don’t know what’s the problem, why should it take so long? The original layout is still there and could be made a part of the track in literally no time. That way the speed onto the main straight will be much […]

Leclerc easily for me. He’s the only one who was perfect all weekend. Lewis will win this unfortunately but although he was great, he was not perfect as he made a bad start. Neither was Max or any other driver […]

@rekibsn This is not how it works. The length of the high speed dictates the downforce levels, not the corners. You could ostensibly get a faster lap time on the old Hockenheim circuit, for example, by running […]

@markzastrow That’s exactly the point! The downforce levels will have to be low on such a fast layout. Therefore the cars will be more nervous in the corners which will a)induce more overtaking since one who’s […]

@cduk_mugello There’s not much overtaking at Dunlop hairpin true, but the approach is much slower and the line choice more limited. Maybe you should look to other tracks which have banked hairpins with multiple […]

Excellent piece of track design for a street course

A couple of challenging corners, a couple of overtaking spots and little room for error. But that’s on paper. Let’s see how the real thing goes
