To me it sounds like he’s trying take excessive pressure off from the the people working in the team.

I agree. If I didn’t know this is a tribute, I wouldn’t have guessed it. I guess they have to be very careful not to advertise Marlboro.

I suddenly feel an urge to smoke.

Where is the outrage?
The world is full of problems, injustice and worse. If I’d get outraged every time I come across one, I’d have a miserable life. So I try to make a difference within the context of my life. […]

Individual players can make a difference in any team sport. They can shape the mentality and ambition of any team. If the rest of the team can answer the call, big things start happening.

And then there is […]

I think it makes sense: if you have a hungry, motivated and fast driver driving development and your team can deliver, it sounds like a winning combination to me.

To me Sainz doesn’t seem to be a kind of person who looks for excuses. I don’t think he needs excuses either. He did well against Norris and is doing well against Leclerc.

The last of a dying breed. He brought a taste of the 70s attitude to modern F1. As much as I love F1, he’s the least sanitized driver on the grid and therefore, IMO, the most real. People say he’s the Iceman, but […]

I think he has said the same himself. If I remember correctly, he said 70s and that’s why he uses that James Hunt alias sometimes in snowcross etc races.

Usually the one feeling entitled is the one who has already won, but I don’t think Ham feels that.

>take the damage to the car

One strike with a sledgehammer to the left sidepod during the next pitstop. Now that would be fun! 😄

I don’t think Alonso is going anywhere. My guess is that he is now building a career: after retirement he aims at leadership role at Alpine and in the horizon he sees FIA presidency.

I’m not a Schumacher expert, but ‘the absolute team player’ seems a stretch to me, at least from a team mate’s point of view. I remember Nico Rosberg saying that Schumi played mental games, for example acting like […]

Banl at the START of the season of course.

Every team banks 5 mil repair money to fia at the end of the season and can withdraw it during the season. What is left will be given back at the end of the season. Problem solved.

Grojean needed a harsher penalty, because he kept on making mistakes again and again. You can be more lenient to towards drivers that are usually safe.

alonso joking about fia presidency

Time will tell if the ambition truly is there and if he can play his cards right. I’ve heard that he is pretty political by nature.

Alonso sounds more like a future FIA president every week. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s aiming for that with an agenda that he will work for fans (and drivers).

Nobody here is bringing up the real safety elephant in the room: Racing F1 cars is too risky, we should ban it in the name of driver safety!

Joking aside, we are living in times when it’s trendy to eliminate […]
