I was shocked when I heard about this, and I don’t know if this was mentioned already, but here goes.

Already at last year’s race at zandvoort, there was an instance (during pre-race show) showing a fan with a […]

The two F1 Safety Cars are available as bonus items

Why are this years SC’s considered a bonus? Shouldn’t they be standard present in the game? You know what would have been nicer? Have the ’22 Safety Cars as […]

It’s always like this, when teams want something done, they create a whirlwind of havoc in the media, scream blood and murder, but in the end, if push comes to shovel, the FIA will crank the budget cap limit up, […]

@keithedin
Do we see drivers regularly retiring from proper races when they are running in 17th , 18th, 19th position even knowing it will not improve their championship position?
No, because:
..non-points […]

COTD!

Bazinga Liberty, nice one @neilosjames

And whilst I will watch the sprints, that doesn’t mean I prefer the format.
I get your statement, but F1 doesnt care what you prefer (aka your morale), it cares for what you watch (aka money)

@jerejj “..planning Monaco GP on same day as Indy500 ,as it prohibits F1 drivers from doing the race.

Not a clash for us viewers, yes you are correct.

This exactly. When the current scoresystem was announced it was set in stone basically. The FIA has always been kind of uncooperative towards Indycar as a whole (e.g. planning Monaco GP on same day as Indy500).

You could argue it was never Toto’s seat to give away. But there must be some constraints in place that if there is no Mercedes junior driver, the engine pricetag goes up for instance?

Toto just ‘giving away’ that Williams seat? I’m sure Toto got a nice big bag of money for that. Or, does Red Bull pay Williams money to put Albon there? And then Williams pay Mercedes? How does this work?

So considering there is now no more a Mercedes protege in that Williams car, presumably the pricetag on that Mercedes engine must go up right? Is their budget up for the task of covering a larger bill?

This could be easily resolved by Lewis and Max making a video in which they together speak out against the booing and condemning it.

“..do you really think they are going to listen to me?”
Yes Max, I do think […]

So Verstappen might be the first driver in history to score points without making it past lap 1 of the GP?

I’ve heard that sprint qualy is set to begin at 7pm. Can someone confirm?

@bascb We agree to disagree then, I say change the cars, you say change the tracks. Luckily both will be changed (for the better hopefully).

@bascb No, don’t think so. I’m pretty confident there will be lots of overtaking if you put Formule E cars on track for instance. Compare Monaco’s FE with F1’s race and there’s your proof. Lots of […]

It’s not the circuit’s fault there’s no overtaking. It’s the cars/regulations/dirty air.

@coldfly F1 & NENT confirmed the F1TV Pro service will continue to be available for fans in the Netherlands.

@peartree Was that radio broadcast a cry for help? Was someone at FOM trying to expose something? Why pick that radio call as your first broadcast?

3 questions to answer, here goes:
1. Not a cry for help, but […]
