That was a fabulous race. The action is in F2 these days – really puts F1 to shame.

That was a good laugh, thanks Zak!

Yep, solid 8. Graded on a curve: Montreal, ‘street’ circuit, green, narrow, yada yada. Vettel injected some pure joy however. In light of that, it probably should have been higher, but Montreal, yada yada.

+1. It’s more of a qualifying spectacle than a race. And the drivers, understandably, love it. It’s one of the most extreme tests of driving talent there is. I’ve long said that motorsports is not a spectator […]

Ditch Monaco? Never going to happen. As crap as it is as a race, it’s still held to be the jewel in the crown for the F1 circus. It’s probably something like the Tower Of London: all F1 drivers would have to leave […]

I gave it a 6: how do you even score the Monaco GP? It’s always a boring procession, except for 1984. If it were not for the fact that it’s Monaco and the expectations for excitement are low, I would have given it […]

That’s how I scored it. Could have been a lot better had Raikonnen and Bottas not dropped out but pretty much everything paled into insignificance behind the Vettel-Hamilton battle (and to a lesser extent Vettel-Bottas)

Agreed. FIA should have mandated what essentially amounts to a spec engine. All manufacturers should have originally worked together to create a reference design. This would have dramatically reduced costs, […]

Seeing Toto lose it was well worth the price of admission.

If Fernando bungs him a few mill, Kimi dyes his hair black and grows a beard, and Fernando bleaches his hair, shaves his beard and starts talking in a monotone then Ferrari could win the WCC…

Yes! Finally, Vettel/Ferrari wins. Can they keep it up throughout the season? I hope so. But 3 things: 1) This is James Allison’s design and he’s already gone; 2) the development effort from Mercedes will be […]

@3dom, good point. Vettel has made some scintillating starts. Let’s hope that continues. Mercedes have the leading edge “finger hole” clutch release technology: let’s see if that makes a difference. I imagine it […]
Morty Vicar commented on the post, 2017 Australian Grand Prix grid 5 years, 10 months ago
Seconded. But last year Ferrari showed us it never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. At least there’s the chance that Seb might be saved by a move to Mercedes next year, although I still expect Lewis […]

Oh My God. I can’t believe it. Lewis on pole. How did that happen? When even himself told us that the Ferraris were the best. At least Vettel is in P2 so a small chink of light. But the likelihood is that the […]

@johnmilk, Haha. Yes but that’s because McLaren are using actual sand.
Morty Vicar commented on the post, Hamilton: Ferrari are quickest and 'trying to keep a lid on the hype' 5 years, 10 months ago
No-one’s buying it, Lewis. We’ve seen the same thing played out every year. At least this year Toto isn’t the one clutching his pearls: they wheeled out Lewis to perform the “woe is us” act instead. We’ll believe […]

It’s all gone quiet w.r.t. Jenson. Either he’s off enjoying his retirement already, or something’s going on in the background. My choice would be JB at Williams, but perhaps it’s not to be?
