Napier Railton

That’s pretty much how I feel too. Always rooting for the chasing driver to catch the leader. I always watch the races, but I don’t always watch qualifying. I’ve been into F1 for quite some time, but I have […]

there is a strange shape under the side intakes, like a lump at the front of the floor. I don’t think I’ve seen it on any of the other cars yet.

there was a similar situation in 2008 – 2009

BMW, Toyota, Honda all pulled out of F1.

BMW and Honda were rebranded as independent teams and F1 only lost one team in Toyota.

(crazy conspiracy: maybe they […]

Isle of Man TT Mountain Course and Essex Speedway!

no other tracks are required

I think I remember seeing that the new track in Qiddiyah is planned to be really long, over 8km.

I don’t know if that is still the plan, but it would be cool if true.

I will miss the Jeddah track, absolute […]

I wonder how much longer the Alpine Junior program is going to last.

It’s not going very well fo the alpine team, let’s be honest.

I think I understand it, it should work like this…

Driver 1 Qualifies 15th with a 10 place penalty
Driver 2 Qualifies 17th with a 5 place penalty

Driver 1 total = 25
Driver 2 total = 22

Therefore they […]

We’re in the budget cap era, and Mick is carving a reputation as a bit of a car breaker.

it’s not a good combination.

It would be a lot easier on the teams if they did the races in a sensible order based on geography.

For example, they could do Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi, Abu Dhabi, all in quick succession. Cuts down on freight, […]

One has to wonder how long F1 will keep it’s combustion engines.

With a lot of the developed world making moves to ban the sale of new combustion engine cars in the 2030s. F1 might start to look a bit like a […]

Having an additional team would mean there would be an additional 10% action on track.

It would only be a good thing, and Liberty should be jumping on the opportunity to have a team with as much competence as Andretti.

It must be some kind of a loophole. It doesn’t look legal to me.

No other team has big end-plates on their wing like that.

I was thinking that too. They have walls and that seems to be about it. Sochi even has quite a bit of run off.

It just seems like such a shame when in places like the USA there are already so many great race […]

I never rated Giovinazzi

He was always in Kimi Raikkonen’s shadow, and Kimi was a good few years past his prime.

Antonio Giovinazzi never showed he had anything special to me, and he had plenty of chances, […]

Zhou is pretty good :)
Unlikely he’ll be a title contender at any point, but he’ll be a welcome face in the midfield for years to come.

I’m happy to be proven wrong though

This is very sad, a promising career is potentially snuffed out because he said a nasty word.

Aren’t they going to bring in rules in the next few years to make the cars smaller? That should help a bit with the passing problems.

the track is a super test of skill too. One of the hardest tracks on the calendar.

what is going on with Gasly this year?

It looks like he is behind Tsunoda more often than not.

Hyundai in 2068
Tata in 2073
JCB in 2079

I hear rumours that Boeing is considering an entry in 2234 but they are waiting for an advantageous set of engine regulations.

Wow, the old high noses look so strange now. Still look cool though.

Also its nice to see Mercedes somewhere other than leading every race.
