Surprised not see even a passing mention of the Queen of the Nürburgring, Sabine Schmitz, who has sadly left us.

And could make Danny Ric’s move look inspired!

I think until they can sort out the ability of cars to follow closely by sorting the dirty air issue you risk just viewing a shorter version of the main race which can often be a bit of a procession.

If this […]

Brutal but pretty on the money description of marketing, full stop.

Yeah he’s called called Simone Resta and he’s going to Haas on secondment along with a bunch of other Ferrari personnel – it’s been covered quite a bit.

Especially when you consider they’re topping out at around 70 or so kilos* so that’s circa 5% to lose – and when you’re stripped to the bare minimum so you don’t add unnecessary weight to the car as well that’s […]

Sky did a piece on how the season has managed to go ahead and Otmar revealed that they now believe Checo got covid from the private chef he employed so he could avoid exposure of being in restaurants.

Geez, I get he’s not supposed to run across the track but castrating him seems a little harsh!

I think he may have meant castigate? Or has the quote been mis-transcribed?

I do despair sometimes reading the comments on here. In the last few months, as the site has increased in popularity, the quality of commenting does seem to have diminished, somewhat.

What happened to […]

Proof reader required at aisle 3

@marlg Cheers for that.

Actually for me that adds an extra element to the strategic mix then.

Combined with the idea that banning party mode oils even up the field which I think we’ll see this weekend and n […]

It’s covered pretty well in the Williams documentary.

Claire didn’t want the job, Jonathan did and was noticeably bitter about being left in charge of the heritage division, instead of getting the top […]

Jeez – that makes mine hurt too!

But actually seeing it explained like that it does make sense. Who knew F1 could make language hard to understand! Mind their rule book does a pretty good job lol.

No I think you have it right @coldfly – it’s a minimum time – so the slowest time it’s allowed to be.

Maximum is for safety car deltas?

In fairness, he’s almost certainly responding to a direct question, as is often the case in these matters.

This could end up being an interesting development.

Can that mode then be a different one at the next race? Does this then also open up opportunities to fine tune modes to specific circuits or deal with engine […]

Ah right – I missed that on the F1 app then, my bad!

He was missing a front wing – so could easily be argued that it was a safety related message, I think.

I agree, surely Ferrari’s aim has to be to challenge for and win a World Championship? It’s been a loooooong time.

Of those choices I’d plump for Danny Ric every time.

Nah it’s OK the ventilators don’t need an understanding of how to make the tyres work…
