A driver like Perez can beat a driver like Verstappen every now and then, but an appropriate (recent) historical comparison would be that he’s a Barrichello to Verstappen’s Schumacher. Generally solid, […]

Look forward to these articles, tiny bit jealous but always a great read.

Once did the same thing in a go-kart, following a guy who’d competed in some national events. Managed about eight corners of education, then crashed into a tyre wall because he could drive that quickly and I […]

Left at Rascasse, reclaim about 5m of extra harbourside all the way up to the end of Quai Rainier III, hairpin at the end, back down to Rascasse. Forgot to add: Pray your brakes work at Anthony Noghes. But I’m […]

Left at Rascasse, reclaim about 5m of extra harbourside all the way up to the end of Quai Rainier III, hairpin at the end, back down to Rascasse. But that, like most other possible changes, creates the problem […]

I normally prefer simple liveries, so Heritage would be my choice.

Made me think of one of those awful charity songs that you just accept because they exist for a nice reason.

I did wince a bit at the headline from an academic perspective, but the general message that climate change makes extreme events more likely is entirely correct and it’s a great article. The series of weather […]

I thought the race itself was OK. I just have a real difficulty with appreciating races on certain circuits, and Miami is one of them because I find it so visually unappealing and insipid. I’m unsure if this […]

I expected after qualifying that Verstappen would go for the alternate strategy, be quicker than Perez at the end on softer tyres and win. I normally like being right, but my dream of a world title ‘fight’ […]

I can see the teams deciding to quadruple the ‘dilution fee’ just to avoid having to share a timesheet with a name like that.

I don’t see Perez as a contender, but I suppose a two-car, one-team championship can end up close even if one driver is obviously better. There’ll be few occasions where other cars get between them, so +6/+7/+8 […]

Had a few nice overtakes but it’s one I’ll forget very quickly.

“We noted that it was not unusual for the representatives to allow such persons into the pit lane just before the end of the race…” I don’t generally watch pit lanes on the last lap of races so I was […]

The ‘unpredictable’ nature of most sports is because they rely so heavily on the input of one or many standard humans, and with such high reliance on a human for all aspects of performance there will be always be […]

I think a standing start should be used once, at the actual start, unless there’s a first-lap red flag early enough to nullify any position changes. Never quite bought into the idea of being increasingly […]

But lastly, it’s because I’m an F1 Fanatic – I’ve watched every race live for the last 30 years and I’ve watched every season review and read most of the available books. But I also have a life; and I’m not d […]

“had industry leading performance capabilities including a Mercedes-Benz engine” Which is true. and would have excellent chances to be competitive It was very competitive, just not with Mercedes, Ferrari, Red B […]

Fair penalty, but the main fault lies with whoever made the decision that left Alonso and Sainz in that position in the first place.
