Phil Norman commented on the post, Which qualifying format is the best in motorsport? 2 days, 14 hours ago
I voted for the current format but this would be quite entertaining actually. Would probably make it more likely that we would not always have the same 2 or 3 drivers on pole all of the time.
These are some of […]

+ 1 A good point. It all boils down to the influence of money.

@tifoso1989 I agree with most of what you have said. Especially about the influence of Russian or Arabic money on sports in the U.K. The thing is we are talking about F1 here on this forum so this is what we […]

So both of your arguments seem to be that because the UK definitely has skeletons in the closet so to speak, Ben Sulayem is OK to ignore the politicians letter? The article indicates also […]
Phil Norman commented on the post, Which F1 tracks would feature on your 2023 calendar? 1 week, 2 days ago
I pretty much agree with you. Except that I have 20 and I don’t include Mexico. My only other difference from your list is to have a race in Spain at Jerez instead of Singapore. But I might have one too many in […]
Phil Norman commented on the post, Which F1 tracks would feature on your 2023 calendar? 1 week, 2 days ago
I have voted for 20 and as I type, 16 of these are the top 16 i.e. (not in date order)
Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace (Interlagos) – Brazil
Silverstone – United Kingdom
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps – Belgium […]Phil Norman commented on the post, Spirit F1 team owner and former Arrows director John Wickham dies aged 73 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Hi. Yes you’re correct about the title. My bad.
I definitely watched it on Netflix here in the U.K.
Phil Norman commented on the post, Which team has the best driver line-up on the 2023 F1 grid? 2 weeks, 2 days ago
It’s a difficult choice but for me 1. Merc, 2. Red Bull, 3. Ferrari. Obviously the car makes a huge difference but if I had to pick one of these combinations in an identical car I would go for the Merc boys. I a […]

Not connected to any of this but last evening I watched the Netflix documentary on Max Mosley. It was very interesting and I recommend it. It’s just called ‘’Mosley’.

I think the F1 cars looked great between ‘93 and 2000. My favourite period probably in terms of aesthetics.
Phil Norman commented on the post, "No reason" not to expand F1 to 12 teams – Ben Sulayem 3 weeks ago
I don’t see any reason really why F1 should not have up to 12 teams. I hope the FIA prevail on this argument. I am not especially a fan of the rapid expansion in the U.S. that we have seen, but I think a U.S. […]
Phil Norman commented on the post, Saudi motorsport chief keen to attract F1 teams to Saudi Arabia 3 weeks, 3 days ago
In what way do non UK drivers get treated unfairly? You seem to hold some bias against the UK for some reason. Judging by this comment.
The only thing the Saudi’s have going for them really is money. Do you […]

Phil Norman commented on the post, Why does an American car-making giant suddenly want to be in Formula 1? 3 weeks, 3 days ago
I think F1 needs one or two new teams. Andretti has been on the verge of entering for a few years but now has the backing of a major motor manufacturer. So I hope Liberty and the current teams give them a chance […]

I agree @f1frog. I think Canada 2011 is my favourite race of all time. I have been watching for 30+ years as well.

A very good analysis Anon.
Phil Norman commented on the post, Sprint races 'still haven't proved their worth' – Gasly 4 weeks, 1 day ago
My point was that F1 was better in the past, in my opinion. It’s always had its faults and it is constantly changing/evolving. People new to the sport won’t know any different, mostly.
Phil Norman commented on the post, Sprint races 'still haven't proved their worth' – Gasly 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Unfortunately I think this analysis is correct. No one really seems to care if the direction of F1 is correct as long as it is making more and more money. For all those involved. The concerns of the drivers and a […]
