OEL F1

What on earth did Tsunoda do in order to deserve being included as a star performer? Qualified P13 compared to team mate Gasly’s P5. Had a pretty bad first lap. Went on to finish ninth in what seems to be the 3rd […]

Well, Verstappen didn’t even win the F3 championship, does that mean that surely there are drivers who deserve to be in F1 more than him too?

Stroll, just like Verstappen, moved to F1 straight from F3, so none […]

If you can’t beat them, handicap them.

Well, it’s one thing during stable regulations, but how about the big rule change coming up for 2022? It won’t matter how good your car is now as there will be very little carried over for then. Thus, for […]

“It’s everybody’s aim in the sport to do that.”

What did Marc Gene do? I thought it was Luca Badoer who finished a lap behind teammate and winner of the Belgian GP 2009, Kimi Räikkönen.

@bascb @tifoso1989 Alonso even claimed that the Ferrari F10 was the best car he had ever driven, at some point during winter testing. Not sure if it was just to boost morale, or whether he ment in absolute terms. […]

Of course they would, even with the penalty they benefited from the decision. It’s a bit weird when you can gain an advantage from breaking the rules, even when you get caught and penalised for it (no matter how […]

“So I’m pretty curious to see when we set the pole, I’m pretty sure it will be a record.”

Binotto is confident Ferrari will turn around this season very quickly?

Correction, Alonso will be 39 in the start of 2021, not 38.

To be fair, Lauda and Prost was a long time ago. It’s hard to draw comparisons from that, other than that it shouldn’t be impossible to be very competitive after a few years away.

It will […]

@keithedin For the cases where one driver gains a position/keeps their position unfairly, I reckon it’s very simple – let the other car past or get a drive through. That way the offender has nothing to gain by not […]

I’m getting sick of this 5 second penalty rule, or rather the application of it. It’s just so arbitrary because you can’t/don’t have to take it immediately, but only at a normal pitstop or added to the final race […]

The power of GP2.

Alonso stuff from Leclerc. Maldonado stuff from Hamilton. Vettel stuff from Vettel.

5 seconds is a yoke.

When you punish someone for doing well, can you even call it a competition, or a sport? I’m glad Toto made sure that we will have a final season of F1 as a sport. Then, from 2021, I will (15 years after Fernando) […]

Sprinklers for the second round of the double headers actually makes sense, kind of. I never thought I’d miss Bernie but I sure do.
