Phylyp commented on the post, F1 mustn't miss opportunity offered by 2026 engine rules change – Brawn 2 years, 11 months ago
Is one of the NFRs for the 2026 engine regs to try and draw in new engine manufacturers (e.g. VAG)? Or to maintain at least the status quo of four (and we all suspect Renault and Honda are the dicey ones of the […]

Phylyp commented on the post, F1 considered reviving 'dropped scores' points system in case drivers miss races 2 years, 12 months ago
I think it’s a good idea to consider. Probably brainstorm it a bit to see if it can be exploited in a bad/negative way (yes, there’s an example of teams dropping DNFs, but isn’t that a loophole available to all). […]

And how would the FIA police this?
@asleepatthewheel – whistle-blowers, methinks. F1 staff move between teams quite regularly. While they will have signed an NDA, it would hardly be enforceable if they were to […] -

Good CotD, @robbie. I’m with you that if there was ever the thought of bringing the aeroscreen to F1, it would have been incorporated into the 2021 (now 2022) regulations. F1 seems satisfied with relying on the […]

Stoffel Vandoorne could therefore end up back at the wheel of one of the team’s cars if either Carlos Sainz Jnr or Lando Norris have to miss a race this year.
There’s a name that’s wrong in there… : […] -

Especially the one he know a lot about.
On reddit, I saw a photo highlighting what Hamilton faced publicly in F1: ̶f̶a̶n̶s̶ racists in blackface with offensive banners/messages at a race in 2007. It real […]

The ‘aero handicap’ will limit how much aerodynamic development teams can do based on where they place in the constructors’ championship.

@bascb – the difference, however, is that the top teams will still have the flexibility of placing their ballast to suit and enhance their car’s handling (e.g. move it forward or backward as required), whereas the […]

@jureo – the cost associated with having more than 60 people (or 80, if we toss in essential non-technical staff like hospitality) isn’t a mandatory expense nor a requirement of participation in F1. No one was – […]
