Or Mercedes could skip all the legal mumbo jumbo and just threaten to leave F1.

Manufacturers bring their own agenda and the only loyalty is to their investors. If the bean counters at Mercedes, Renault, et al calculated that they could sell more cars by dropping F1 (or any series […]

Without any real stakes, there are inevitably going to be participants that don’t take it seriously. I can’t really blame them, professional drivers have not spent the entirety of their teenage and adult lives […]

Ferrari should walk away… call it a trial separation if you must. F1 is a hollow shell of its former self and both F1 and Ferrari need to figure how to move forward free of the current comprimised entanglements.

He said the un-sayable (unless you’re a hip hop artist).

Hopefully the world can get through the panic phase and get to a point where preventative measures, transmission, treatment, etc. is better understood so appropriate actions can be taken rather than all the […]

I don’t see why not. In this day and age, with all the interest in ‘fairness’ and ‘leveling the playing field’, all British citizens should be able to apply for and receive knighthood. Who wouldn’t want to be […]

Not that I’m paying much attention this season beyond checking post-race results here on racefans.net… qualifying is the one thing that is actually compelling (as much as it can be) in the current generation […]

There’s not much here to hang a disillusioned fan’s hat on unfortunately.

Obviously I’m not missing anything this season… first season in more than a decade that I’ve zero interest in watching (made it through 3/4 of the season or so last year). I content with checking the results […]

I threw in the towel after four races this season. Sad state of affairs. I prefer my (pre-hybrid era) memories to the current state of F1.

So the net is ‘fastest lap point makes otherwise boring, uninspired races acceptable’.

I guess it remains to be seen whether Liberty is building F1’s coffin or simply nailing it shut at this point.

That’s the first thing that came to my mind, not to mention taking a free shot at Ocon while he’s sitting on the sidelines.

Naturally Aspirated… 3.0 L V10… 19,000 RPM…

They say you can’t go home again, but I sure wish someone would at least try.

Of course it makes sense for them to do so to keep the team focused, but it doesn’t make sense that the F1 ‘media’ reprints it like it is somehow true.

Electric power is great for general transportation where it makes sense, but so far it doesn’t seem to translate well to mainstream motorsport. Of course I’d say the same thing about F1’s ‘hybrid’ formula, but […]

The next logical step would be to award a bonus point for an on-track pass.

Lewis constantly positioning Merc as an underdog is getting rather tiresome.

Why doesn’t PMI just buy one of the smaller sugary drinks companies and use that as a token branding and marketing vehicle?
