On the contrary Alan. Nissan have proven that video games are a genuine pathway to real motorsport success. They have opened the path for others to follow.
Joss commented on the post, F1 will rethink decision to name Sprint Qualifying winner as pole position holder 1 year, 6 months ago
2012 had an incredible start. Something like 7 different winners from the first 7 races – and many fans complained that it was “too unpredictable” and “like a lottery”.
Granted, that was all about the tyres […]
Joss commented on the post, F1 will rethink decision to name Sprint Qualifying winner as pole position holder 1 year, 6 months ago
I think that the official pole position holder should go to the fastest lap from qualifying. But the sprint format was quite interesting, especially at the start.
I think the second half would have been more […]
Joss commented on the post, F1 should stay a "pure sport", fans don't want artificial racing – Capito 1 year, 10 months ago
I get what Capito is saying, but I don’t think it’s that simple.
If you have nothing in place to keep the field close, then the most wealthy/powerful teams will always be on top by such a margin that they aren’t […]Joss commented on the post, Why Agag's repeated calls for a Formula 1-Formula E merger fail to persuade 1 year, 10 months ago
I think the sport is also considering the sound the cars make. They would need to pay FE off to go full electric, and using biofuels allows them to keep making noise through an ICE.
Maybe the plan is to keep […]Joss commented on the post, "I was slightly down on experience": Albon on what went wrong in 2020 and his determination to return 1 year, 11 months ago
I sympathise with Albon. He was thrust into F1 quickly, and held to a very high standard vs Verstappen.
Saying that, every driver that lands an F1 drive talks to the media shortly after saying how they are […]
Joss commented on the post, Red Bull preparing to develop their own power units for new 2025 F1 rules 1 year, 11 months ago
The move I expected McLaren to make a few years back, RBR have beaten them to it! Red Bull have a history of controlling their own destiny, so it’s not unexpected.
This is however a strong commitment to the […]Joss commented on the post, Red Bull confirms deal to continue using ex-Honda engines until 2025 1 year, 11 months ago
Depending on the new engine rules, this could be the start of a genuine Red Bull engine for 2025+…

I’ve never known a designer to analyse car liveries before. Interesting!

Consistency is the issue here. Sometimes a punishment is given, sometimes not.
Joss commented on the post, F1 drops reverse grid plan in new push for Saturday sprint races in 2021 1 year, 11 months ago
@f1frog That’s quite interesting, I agree there should be a crescendo for each weekend – the main event.
Saying that, I would expect a sprint race victory to be counted as a win. The drivers are still in the […]
Joss commented on the post, F1 drops reverse grid plan in new push for Saturday sprint races in 2021 1 year, 11 months ago
I can see your point here, and I agree it’s important we value the history and traditions of the sport. But I also feel that responding with flat refusals to any attempt at improving the sport isn’t very […]
Joss commented on the post, F1 drops reverse grid plan in new push for Saturday sprint races in 2021 1 year, 11 months ago
F1 by it’s nature is constantly evolving. I find it strange how the term “DNA” is often used as a reason NOT to change anything, when DNA itself is always mixing and adapting.
Preserving tradition is one thing, […]Joss commented on the post, Simona de Silvestro returns to Indy 500 with female-led entry 2 years ago
I agree, ideally you’d just have drivers and they would be judged on performance. But in this world, I’m glad it’s Simona who’s getting the opportunity. Many drivers get established through money, nepotism or […]
Joss commented on the post, Simona de Silvestro returns to Indy 500 with female-led entry 2 years ago
It’s been a few years now, but Simona was showing promise in Indycar and it was a shame she lost her drive. I felt that she could earn her place in the field with the right opportunity. With a Penske prepped car, […]
Joss commented on the post, Nissany will drive one of Williams' three pre-season test days 2 years ago
Seeing drivers like Nissany and other pay drivers getting further up the grid is why it’s so important to reduce costs. If you need a cash injection, it will come with strings attached.
Joss commented on the post, F1 races to start on the hour again in 2021 2 years ago
I’d prefer races start as late as possible, allowing you to use the day for other things and come back to a race. Starting right in the middle of the day makes it awkward to watch live and is why the North/South […]
Joss commented on the post, Haas swept their Mazepin problem under the carpet. Now it's F1's problem 2 years, 1 month ago
Also agree with @robbie. @rocketpanda explained the issue in a below comment better than most. This one incident could be viewed as a mistake, but consistent poor behaviour means the “boys will be boys” excuse […]
Joss commented on the post, Haas swept their Mazepin problem under the carpet. Now it's F1's problem 2 years, 1 month ago
@rocketpanda Agreed. It’s very easy to jump on the collective bandwagen when an athlete does something slightly out of line, but Mazepin has a history of poor behaviour. A man without his financial backing would […]
Joss commented on the post, Sainz wants to join Alonso at 'young drivers' test 2 years, 1 month ago
Given Alonso’s been out for so long, and (from what I read a few weeks ago) pre-season testing has been cut down to just three days for 2021, allowing him to take part makes sense.
Allowing a regular race d […]
