Newfangled commented on the post, Should flares be allowed at all Formula 1 events? 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Ban them. Awful things. Bad for safety, and I can’t imagine how annoyed I’d be if I was sat in a grandstand seat I’d paid good money for only to have a flare go off in the seat next to me, inhale its fumes, and […]

8. Would be a 9 were it not for the VSC affecting the running order.
Newfangled commented on the post, F1 to reveal calendar strategy as Domenicali says 30 promoters want races 4 months, 3 weeks ago
I love F1, I really do – but there’s no way I’m spending 30 weekends a year watching F1. It takes up a lot of time – about the maximum I can justify now, in the calendar’s current incarnation – and any more will […]

This is all starting to get a bit United Colours of Benetton!
Newfangled commented on the post, Haas announce Magnussen as second race driver for 2022 5 months ago
I got the impression that Magnussen and Grosjean were hamstrung by a car that looked brutally unstable at the rear prior to 2021, which Mazepin and Schumacher also seemed to have difficulty taming. Wouldn’t be at […]

The best looking grid for many a year, but it has to be the Ferrari for me.
Newfangled commented on the post, First pictures: Haas reveal plain livery after removing Russian flag colours 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Accepting huge Russian commercial backing for your team, and a deeply unpopular Russian driver funded by Putin…. What could go wrong?
Looking at how bare that car is now the Russians (who seemingly made Hass […]
Newfangled commented on the post, First pictures: New Williams FW44 makes its debut on track 5 months, 4 weeks ago
I’m usually pretty silent on these forums when it comes to pre-season hype, but I think these new cars looks spectacular, and some of the liveries equally so. I’m really, really excited for the new season and […]

Nico has scored a pole position in Formula 1, won the Le Mans 24hrs, the GP2 Series, and 3 other championships in his career so far. That’s an enviable list of accomplishments. He never stood on the podium in F1 […]

Opting for the blunt ‘yeah but this is actually qualifying, though.’ Bottas pole, sprint race is tomorrow. Sort it out before this becomes a very awkward era to look back on, FOM.

So salty! Love to see it.
Newfangled commented on the post, Rate the race: 2021 British Grand Prix 1 year ago
Worth ignoring the 24% of people who are irrational enough in the controversial aftermath of this race to vote ‘1’. FYI, I gave it an 8. The race was a 7, but the scenes after the finish were historic in […]

Correct result in the end. Chandhok’s analysis on Sky F1 was spot on. Racing incident.
Newfangled commented on the post, Verstappen extends lead with Hamilton-esque win on Red Bull's home ground 1 year, 1 month ago
‘If’ Perez didn’t suffer a slow pit stop, he would’ve been 3rd, and everything you mention would be irrelevant.
It’s a team sport – both RB and Perez could’ve done better.
Newfangled commented on the post, Schumacher crash damage cost Haas up to half a million dollars 1 year, 2 months ago
I can only assume opting not to improve the driveability of the current car, and thus encourage a slew of expensive accidents from its rookie driver pairing, is cumulatively still more affordable than diverting […]

This is the bottom line. FE is meant to promote the advantages, the current power and potential of electric vehicles, but the headlines from races like this, under the current regulations, is that cars ‘are […]

That track looks atrocious. A ton of acceleration zones masquerading as corners that present no challenge whatsoever (other than to neck muscles), loads of Mickey Mouse 2nd & 3rd gear tight, sharp apexes, a clumsy […]

I was genuinely disappointed in Russell yesterday, as I hold him in very high regard. He didn’t handle the incident well at all, but this is the best way to deal with the fallout. Hopefully he’ll learn from it – […]
Newfangled commented on the post, F1 poised to confirm 'Sprint Qualifying' races as teams agree financial terms 1 year, 4 months ago
Would’ve thought a sprint race in place of qualifying to determine the grid for Sunday would’ve made more sense (and been simpler), but hey.
