@rankx22 Good point. To love F1 you gotta invest in understanding the sport, which unfortunately can’t happen in a single sitting.

@rankx22 lol Yeah. They can do much better for the entertainment show.

The season win should only qualify the driver for the chance to go for the “championship” in a special “jackpot” challenge, to be held […]

@rankx22 Regarding safety, I agree that it would be more dangerous, so you can have an intermediate solution: the FIA is able to talk to the drivers about major events like debris on track.

I also agree that […]

That’s modern times.

@rankx22 I disagree: yes, we have the technology to transmit data between the car and the pit wall, but then again we also have the technology to equip an entire football team with headsets, […]

@rankx22 That’ the way I read it too. And then I wondered who had actually persuaded Luca to re-engage Kimi. Would it have been Domenicalli persuading Luca? I can’t really imagine Kimi, kissing Luca’s ring and […]

@rankx22

how can you fail to mention the basic problem when criticising the possible solution, Keith?

This was what I was referring to in the last sentence of my original comment. My point was that even without […]

@rankx22

This is the most important statement. All other arguments resulted from the initial dependency on aerodynamics, including the idea around the new “raw eggs” tyres or the “videogame-like” DRS.

I am fully with @rankx22 there @john-beamer, thanks for the article to help everyone understand what choices and design ideas come into it here.

@rankx22 I’m not denying anything, I’m saying I don’t know what’s being referred to here.

Seeing that one person thinks it’s in response to comments that have been made on the site, and you think it’s in […]

@rankx22 Alonso has said publicly in the past that he turned down a Red Bull offer in 2009; and saying that he would prefer to drive a Ferrari with no titles rather than drive a Red Bull and get titles. (The last […]
