@proesterchen Really? I didn’t know that. More dangerous than Interlagos surroundings even?

Yeah I think you’re right about testing requirements being the reason for the Fiorano grading

It does exist. Hosted its first race recently. But in F1 terms it doesn’t and won’t exist in the forseeable future

French GP should be at Magny Cours. Who cares if it’s in the countryside? What’s wrong with a bit of peace and quiet once in a while? Variety is welcome. It’s also unfortunately the only good French circuit at the […]

@stn How many mistakes did LH and GR make? Very few

@slowmo My opinion of Sainz is that he’s tier 1.5, what used to be called tier Rosberg. While Perez is in my opinion tier 2 which is nothing to be sniffed at but just not as good as the Ferrari combination by a fraction.

Mercedes is the clear winner on account of both of their drivers being tier 1. So no argument with the creator of the poll there. However there is a huge argument with regards to the other stuff namely RBR vs […]

@fer-no65 People will always find a way to label someone a pay driver. Like Checo Perez for example, forgetting that he had to perform at every level to continue receiving Slim’s backing. Mark Webber had to get a […]

@esploratore1 He’s not even Ralf-level in terms of talent at least from what we know so far. I saw Ralf arrive in 1997 and immediately be fast. Not so with Mick. If anything, Ralf lacked those traits of MSC that […]

Don’t agree with anything you said. He was not hard done by anyone. He didn’t do the job required of him and he crashed way too often. If anything is misleading is the stats of running ahead and finishing ahead […]

Checo let Max through in the first place on the condition that Max lets him through back if he cannot pass Alonso. he could have fought with Max in the first place. But he’s a team player while Max is garbage

@bascb I did. He was the most consistently fast driver since the beginning of the season. He was always there or thereabouts. Ericsson was leading healthily but his lead was all based on double points Indy 500 and […]

@ajpennypacker Sorry didn’t quote you ^

I disagree with regards specifically to the Indy 500. It’s only one of 2 events in motorsport that are bigger than the championship it represents(the other being Le Mans). It defines the series and a series of […]

@esploratore1 You’d picked the absolute wrong example. Nasr had demolished Ericsson in every parameter. Nasr was dropped because he was bringing much less money that’s all

@anon And why would they pay such a fee for something hated by almost everyone? Are Sky and the promoters stupid? Or maybe, just maybe, it isn’t as hated as some here seem to believe?

@glynh I’ve seen otherwise. The most important poll where the fans were against it was the Motorsport poll. However, the question was about “sprint race at every grand prix”. Which was never even considered by […]

Disagree completely. As you’d said yourself this isn’t the first time the winner of qualifying doesn’t automatically get to start from first on the grid. However, it’s logical that the driver who’s fastest over a […]

@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 […]
