Napier Railton commented on the post, Williams no longer dependent on drivers who bring money – Capito 19 hours, 15 minutes ago
seems a bit unfair to put Maldonado in the picture… yeah he brought a lot of money but he was also the gp3 champion and was incredibly fast… when his car wasn’t in the wall… which it often was
in the […]
Napier Railton commented on the post, Will Formula 1's new cars for 2022 prove a change for the better? 1 week ago
I’m looking forward to it, the renders look nice, I just hope we see some decent levels of variety.
As long as they are still the fastest cars in the world, that’s really the most important thing.
If they […]
Napier Railton commented on the post, Stroll has total faith in son's "raw young talent" 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Lance does seem like a pretty good driver these days.
He’s clean, consistent and a very good starter.
We just need a crazy race of attrition to see the best from him. For some reason that’s where Lance really stands out
Napier Railton commented on the post, F1 to detail next steps in diversity drive following Hamilton Commission report 2 weeks, 4 days ago
it’s going to be difficult to get people of different “diverse categories” involved when the number of teams if locked at ten and the team sizes are all constrained by a budget cap.
If this is the kind of thing […]

all this optimism has to pay off some time
Napier Railton commented on the post, Williams preparing backup plan in case Mercedes sign Russell 1 month ago
I would go further and say that mercedes is on the way down. Next season will be under a budget cap which means mercedes will have had to downsize, they won’t have the same level of backing they have been used to. […]
Napier Railton commented on the post, First pictures from the 2021 French Grand Prix weekend 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I really like that picture of Nikita and Fernando.
Young guy is probably meeting his childhood hero, Nikita was only little when Alonso was winning he championships.
Say what you want about him, Nikita has […]
Napier Railton commented on the post, Alonso admired Russell's performances watching 2020 season 1 month, 3 weeks ago
You spend enough time in America, someone there will call you racist.
In all seriousness, that article is written really aggressively. It almost reads like a call to arms.
I hope America can get over this […]
Napier Railton commented on the post, McLaren drivers back NASCAR-style 'throwback' race for retro liveries 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Not sure we’ll see that many retro F1 liveries in the future.
Most of what are considered classic liveries are made to make the car look like a cigarette box.
They looked nice, but not exactly TV friendly anymore.
Napier Railton started the topic Your favourite era of car design? in the forum Formula One 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I think we all like a good looking f1 car, but have you ever thought about what your favourite era of car design was. As we are about to see a whole new generation of car designs in 2022, I thought it would be a good idea to ask this question.
Instead of simply splitting car designs into different decades, I kind of want to try splitting up the…[Read more]
Napier Railton commented on the post, Did 'benchmark Barcelona' reveal how close F1's title fight will be? 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Toto is telling us again that this is not an indication of mercedes pace. And they don’t think they have the fastest car.
After 7 or 8 years at the front of F1 you have to admire his consistency. Maybe one day […]

Not posting on social media for a few days.
That’ll teach ’em
Napier Railton commented on the post, Fear of rules change led Mercedes to run dominant 2014 engine in "idle mode" 3 months ago
Well the next big rule change is based around aero.
The last time there was a whole new aero formula (2009) the field was very close. Hopefully it will be the same case again.

Sweet, a new track and a new race!
It took a long time to get this one confirmed, but we’ve finally got a second round in the USA
Napier Railton commented on the post, Bottas leads tight top three as Mazepin's second spin ends practice early 3 months, 2 weeks ago
It’s hard to say that I feel sorry for a formula 1 driver. But I can’t help but feel bad for Mick and Nikita. That haas look like a horrible car to drive.
It’s going to be really hard to look good while driving that.

This is a silly situation.
That should never have been a headline.
Napier Railton commented on the post, F1 planning new 'active aero' for 2025 cars to slash fuel consumption 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Cool.
That could mean the aero team jobs could get way more complex. They would need to make a car that works well with two different aero configurations at the same time. That’s awesome!
Imagine the […]
Napier Railton commented on the post, Haas "not putting in any effort" to do more than fight Williams this year 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Thanks for cotd, sorry for the bad grammar. That’s what happens when you get up really early preparing for a new early shift.
I wonder if the FIA has noticed the we’ll-never-win-anyway attitude of Haas, and if […]

F1 has a purpose.
It develops road going technology in a competitive environment, it provides entertainment and escapism for millions of fans all over the world, and it make a lot of money.
As a side effect […]
