pimbers4955 commented on the post, Verstappen achieves most dominant title win since Vettel in 2013 2 months, 1 week ago
Most surprising fact I came across, was this is the first season since 1991 that neither Schumacher or Hamilton has won a race. And the first season of racing for Hamilton without a win since 2001
pimbers4955 commented on the post, Analysis: The four minutes that changed the destiny of the 2021 world championship 1 year, 1 month ago
This is what I think a lot of the analysis ignores. Every driver should have an equal opportunity to race, regardless of their position (unless already/about to be lapped during green flag running). The unlapping […]
pimbers4955 commented on the post, F1 drivers want safety changes to Jeddah's "Suzuka with walls" layout 1 year, 1 month ago
You mean in the period where over one driver died per year? I have nothing against tracks being difficult and punishing drivers for mistakes. However, punishing and injuring drivers due to car damage or breakdown […]

And a 10 second penalty for HAM at Silverstone!

Hamilton got a 5 second penalty for both of those, Bottas a 5 place penalty at the following race.
pimbers4955 commented on the post, FIA right to replace potentially "dangerous" kerbs – Russell 1 year, 2 months ago
If they’re insisting on using tarmac run-off instead of grass or gravel can’t we have the same kerbs as the Red Bull Ring? Sausages, but running parallel to the track thereby risking damage to the floor of the car […]
pimbers4955 commented on the post, Fans show limited support for F1's sprint qualifying format in official survey 1 year, 3 months ago
As the old saying goes, “There’s lies, damn lies, and statistics”. Claiming sprint qualifying marginally improves “the show” based on 6.7% approval definitely falls into this category.
pimbers4955 commented on the post, "A win is a win" says Wolff as Mercedes halt Red Bull's victory run 1 year, 6 months ago
Finally some balance! I am a Hamilton fan (not fanboy…) and I think he was more to blame for what happened, however both could have given a little more and made it through without the terrifying crash for […]
pimbers4955 commented on the post, F1 teams want alternative to kerbs which can "destroy a car" 1 year, 7 months ago
Whilst I agree in principle with the sentiment “just stay between the lines”, as Otmar correctly says, in a race situation you shouldn’t be in a position where if you’re pushed off the track the car is damaged […]
pimbers4955 replied to the topic Extreme E: Your verdict so far in the forum Off-topic 1 year, 10 months ago
I’d agree with everything you say there – the dust issue just ruined what could otherwise have been some very interesting races! Although the massive differential in talent between a tarmac driver like Jenson Button and WRC/WRX/Dakar drivers such as Loeb or Sainz may just have made this gap more obvious. Maybe as well as having a male and female…[Read more]

pimbers4955 commented on the post, Magnussen calls for rules change after pit stop penalty 2 years, 6 months ago
All this means in the future (if the rule isn’t changed) is the teams have to discuss with the driver on the grid, and then if they feel the need to pit they just tell the team and assume their complete silence means “OK”.
pimbers4955 commented on the post, Hulkenberg expected to substitute for Perez at Silverstone 2 years, 6 months ago
Am I right in thinking this could be for this weekend (British GP) and the following weekend (70th Anniversary GP) given the 14 day period? Or is it 10 day…or 7….who knows!
pimbers4955 commented on the post, F1 can use Bahrain's short track but not Silverstone's – Masi 2 years, 7 months ago
So let me get this straight, Baku with its castle section is allowed but Silverstone (I assume Bridge corner) isn’t??

pimbers4955 replied to the forum topic Is Pirrelli tyres really giving exciting f1 racing? in the group F1 9 years, 8 months ago
I’ve thought about this before, and in my view, they need a hard tyre that lasts around 40% of the race distance, with a slow drop off, and a soft tyre that lasts 10-20%. Then you would get drivers trying to eek […]

I do like Suzi, and I do think she will eventually get more relaxed in the role as it all seems a little bit forced at the minute. No different to how Jake, EJ and DC were back in 2009 though if I remember correctly

I personally can see Button retiring at the end of this season, and potentially McLaren trying to get Raikkonen back

Has anyone who has a G25/27 had a terrible time on the new F1 game? Its nearly undriveable without massively changing the settings :(
