Newfangled

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.

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.

‘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.

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 – […]

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.

Unreal from Hamilton, that. Older tires, immense pressure from what is seemingly the faster package, but held on for the win. Brilliant battle, and hugely promising for the season ahead. Great race overall.

Bit of an essay this, and is just my interpretation:

I get the impression that manufacturers like Renault and Mercedes are now actively attempting to create distance between their main brands and performance […]

‘[…] but worked his way up to eighth place by the chequered flag, which remains the largest haul of points that car has taken in the last seven races.’

Oof, I didn’t realise this. Anyway, Russell deserves a […]

‘We race as one.’

Boy, does this smack of hypocrisy.

What some people don’t seem to grasp is that it’s not just deforestation (removal of trees) that is the issue, but the loss of habitat for species that occurs as a consequence of this. It is habitat that cannot be […]

Look at the BTCC’s approach: excess ballast based on race finishing position (not championship), three races per weekend that are over in the blink of an eye and usually curtailed due to safety cars, compulsory […]

Harsh truth is Gio looked to have pace when he debuted for Sauber in China in 2017, but his qualifying and race crashes overshadowed the highs of that weekend’s performance and have unfortunately proved an […]

I wouldn’t call Norris’ move on Perez ‘unnecessary’ – the McLaren driver was far faster than the Force India, and if Norris hadn’t made the move, he wouldn’t have been able to close to within 5 seconds of Hamilton […]

Can only see Ricciardo taking the seat, which would be massive if he does. His agent must be trying to break the door down at Maranello as we speak. Personally think Alonso won’t be coming back to F1, Hulkenberg I […]

:O :O :O Beautiful. What a an absolute stunner! That red Honda logo is the icing on the cake. Hope it looks as good on track, but wow, what a perfectly poised livery. Best looking car I’ve seen in years.
