Man who wins Grand Prix concludes tyre choice was right

Best race this year

The problem with comparing drivers when the car is as good as this year’s Mercedes is that when Hamilton has an off weekend 2nd is still on the table, a simply good weekend and he can be 1st, and how do we discern […]

Mercedes will still have the championship winning car next year and Hamilton as their star driver. They can quite happily stick with Bottas

Unless they get backed into a corner with another team poaching […]

I’ve seen less ridiculous headlines on the 1st of April

I don’t know if the teams are doing this in protest to Alonso testing out if they can actually get more meaningful data from running an experienced driver […]

Perez showed once again how reliable he is at being in the right place to collect the results others leave for him. His recovery drive after Leclerc span him alone shows the team are binning the wrong […]

Given Hamilton’s age and inherent level of health it’s obviously about preventing the spread rather than any realistic risk to his own health

As such I feel comfortable saying I hope he doesn’t return yet. […]

If I was rating this on my heartbreak it would be a clear 10

If I was rating it just on the result and how much ofa fairytale story it is for Perez it would be a 10

But I’m not, I’m rating the race, so it’s a 10

I know there were a lot of near misses before the halo came in, but it’s been scary the number of times we’ve watched the halo appear to save the day since it was introduced

As for Grosjean, I think he should […]

One thing I can respect it’s that Bottas having spent all his life probably believing he has what it takes to be the best in the world, lands the best seat in the game. But then week after week finds he at best […]

I voted Hamilton. He looked nowhere in Friday and Saturday, but on the lap that mattered in Q3 still best his team mate even if 6th looked a terrible result given the unique circumstances of this circuit

But it […]

2010 and 2012 are only could have seasons for Hamilton, but 2007 and 2016 are should have seasons

Add in the title it will take a miracle to lose next year and he’ll soon be a should be 10x WDC

A great race provided you’re not offended by the result

Only way it could have been improved is if the other title ‘contender’ had actually been in the mix fighting rather than getting himself lapped

With the best power unit in F1 Mercedes did back the freeze

Mercedes are all but certain to take championships next year, so a one year deal with them doesn’t give Hamilton much leverage, either sign up to what Mercedes offer and collect your record breaking championship, […]

The valved mask type offers the same protection for the wearer as any other but as it has the valve for exhalation wouldn’t protect others from the wearer as much

But given the frequency of testing, and […]

Re COTD

The guy didn’t just get the red mist and bang the other drivers wheels on track or give him a shove afterwards. He picked up a bumper and in a premeditated act tried to use it as a weapon that could […]

It’s all Ferraris fault if you think about it. Pushing Mercedes to find every last drop of performance they could, Honda have basically just given up closing the gap

They can talk about F2… Sorry F1 not […]

Can’t imagine who would want to supply Red Bull now. Mercedes will be supplying 4 of 10 teams, Ferrari 3 of 10, which only leaves Renault be with capacity as they’ll only have their own team but I’d imagine given […]

If we had an even spread of performance through the field and like for like cars could overtake it might offer what they think it would offer, but the problem is we don’t. There’s a big step from the back of the […]
