Very well said @aussierod

@keithcollantine, I guess we have different definitions for the word “rate”. For me it always is a proportion, which in this case means the number is “adjusted for population”, but maybe that is just how people on […]

@markzastrow, sure, it is not necessarily sad. It can also be thought as ridiculous, disappointing, shameful, unnerving, and even disgraceful or funny depending on who you ask. The biggest problem is that it was […]

Someone ran some CFD on the Williams CAD model leaked from the launching app:

@keithcollantine, according to the link provided Brazil has actually the 10th worst death rate at present with 69.9 deaths per million people in the past 7 days. Of note is Hungary which actually has the worst […]

@skipgamer, no because the weather is not something artificial like this SC energy reduction rule and because driving in the wet with dry tyres requires ability (plus a certain amount of luck) while running out of […]

Interesting video describing a little how F1 broadcast works:

Topical considering last Friday’s events, although that is not mentioned.

You make good points @black. Unfortunately F1 stewarding is not known for reasonable ideas or simplifying things.

F1 already has the technical capability to fix or at least greatly reduce any unfairness resulting from safety cars and red flags by implementing this system:

1. Record the the exact gaps between cars before […]

@coldfly, I like the Elo ratings as well. It’s still a model with several limitation like any other model but it is usually consistent with the general perception seasoned, rational fans will have. We cannot […]

@keithcollantine, curious by your answer to question 8. Why would Russell need to sub for Hamilton again this year?

@davewillisporter, green and pink can mix together very well.

@keithcollantine, images say MCL35B and not MCL35M.

Maybe Hulkenberg (if he’d be interested in making a one-off return to team Enstone), Albon, Kvyat, whoever.

@jerejj, not necessary a one-off though. If fracture reports are correct Alonso could miss several races.

IndyCar has many issues but no one can seriously call it less competitive than modern F1 Even if the “usual suspects” teams more often than not end up ahead at the end of the year.

First, you are missing a few […]

@jeff1s, that is why he said “sporting” value.

Looks expensive but it’s really a bargain. I would do it as well if I lived in the UK. Maybe I’ll schedule a trip if this continues for a few years.

There is (or was) a similar programme at Paul Richard with a […]

@jelle-van-der-meer by my count it was 25 laps in Turkey and 3 in the rest of the season. Ouch.

Good for him. Would a good showing from him (not that expect much given the circumstances) sway the team into giving him a seat for next year? Very unlikely I presume, but would it be impossible?

@tonymansell, maybe but not necessarily. Many drivers have bigger accidents, stay in hospital and even in coma for longer periods of time and still return to racing. They are racing drivers after all and that is what they do.
