Neil commented on the post, Verstappen is the toughest team mate but I have the speed to beat him – Perez 3 days, 6 hours ago
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, […]

Neil commented on the post, Piastri gained "useful" wet weather driving tips by following Verstappen 5 days, 6 hours ago
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 […]

Neil commented on the post, Monaco land reclamation could offer room to improve track – Horner 5 days, 7 hours ago
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 […]

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

Neil commented on the post, The first Formula 1 race cancelled by climate change is unlikely to be the last 2 weeks, 2 days ago
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 […]

Neil commented on the post, Did Formula 1's second Miami Grand Prix live up to the hype? 3 weeks, 5 days ago
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 […]

Neil commented on the post, Verstappen hunts down Perez to take Miami Grand Prix victory 4 weeks ago
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.

Neil commented on the post, Miami GP win would make Perez a true title contender – Button 1 month ago
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 […]

“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 […]

Neil commented on the post, Do late-race standing restarts belong in F1? 1 month, 2 weeks ago
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 […]
