I thought he said that he _wouldn’t_ attack Ocon, but I may have missed a clip. Do please provide a link

@david-br Russell’s suggestion was that he be allowed to pass Hamilton, but not pull a gap of more than 5 seconds, thus Hamilton would get the position back by virtue of Russell’s time penalty, and Russell would […]

If you don’t like Monaco, you’ve got no business watching F1.

No, Monaco is one of the classic tracks that must always be on the calendar for Formula 1 to remain Formula 1. Can’t lose: Monaco Spa Silverstone Monza Suzuka Hungaroring Interlagos There are other […]

@huhhii why do you dislike Monza?

@skydiverian I think that 2001 was mentioned for being 15 years after the event, similar to the timeframe under discussion here

@todfod Exactly this

@jamesbond As a British person, it would certainly seem that way. I can’t see any way in which Russell outperformed Verstappen.

Russell deserves an 8/10 whilst Verstappen only earns a 7? Are these ratings for real? Verstappen made one mistake in Q3 and was then prevented from rectifying this by yet another crash from Leclerc and a […]

@chrischrill Ironically, I suspect that if Verstappen hadn’t aborted his first attempt, as he didn’t feel it met his standards, he wouldn’t have started 9th. His P9 start was caused by Leclerc messing up (again), […]

Perez is a mediocre driver, and always has been. In fact he’s not a “has been”, he’s a “never was, and never will be”

@tommy-c Verstappen was badly affected by Leclerc fluffing qualifying, and Wittich being too slow to red flag the session, leaving not enough time for anyone who hadn’t completed a flying lap to get one done (even […]

@mayrton I agree: the way some go on about Perez like he will ever beat a top-tier driver in a straight fight. It wouldn’t just be Verstappen either: Hamilton, Alonso, Leclerc, Norris, Russell (even though I don’t […]

@sean-p-newmanlive-co-uk spec racing is how we got A1GP, and look how long that series lasted. I did actually attend a race whilst it existed, and can confirm that even at Brands Hatch, it was just dull. Whereas […]

@tommy-c well, unless something unusual happens, it will be a Red Bull driver on the top step of the podium. Not exactly an unusual occurrence

@david-br unfortunately, he crosses that line too often. Much was made by Steiner regarding the costs of Mick Schumacher, but I reckon Leclerc is high up that list as well. As you say, neither Hamilton nor […]

Today is another example of why Leclerc has a long way to go to be considered WDC material. He’s wasting a relatively decent car with these unforced errors. Yes, the Ferrari is not as quick as the Red Bull, but […]

@anunaki doubt that. You watch Verstappen, he’s won from 15th before

@Sviat yes, after being given team orders not to try and pass Ricciardo.

One of the many issues with the Sprint Race format for me is now Qualifying is on a Friday. When I (and presumably many others) are still working. So what happened this week was that the Grand Prix Qualifying was […]
