Is it that much of a change to the dream team? The pit wall must have the longest serving staff of any team with all four having over 20 years service each, with both Shovlin and Meadows being there from day one […]

Looks interesting

It may not work for everything, but Rosberg, Hamilton, Button, Newey, Andretti and Ganassi amongst others seem to believe they can make it work for their brand of motorsport.

I think Rosberg’s point is we can do that, but also save the world. At least that is what he and others are trying to do in Extreme E. Not sure how that’s all going to work out, but if yesterday is anything to […]

New term? A few hundred years old. Dickens used it to describe Gregsbury in Nicholas Nickleby. Someone who gets emotional and angry over his political beliefs, whilst getting redder and redder in the face. In the […]

Used to describe those who easily get angry and red in the face on any given subject.
Some claim the term is racist. One can only imagine how many times these angry people with cheeks like gammon have been […]

Hamilton should know that whether treating someone with diplomacy, embarrassing them, or remaining silent, it doesn’t diminish his ability to trigger the gammons.

Yes, I’m grateful to. Getting fed up with the Racing Point mixing with the big boys. And if as expected the RB is going to be as dominant as the Merc was come the next few tracks, we can all pretend a change is as […]

So how many people watching 20 cars going past 15 separate corners do you need to report each offence, and how many decisions are needed to decide whether its justified or not. Or do you penalise a driver for […]

In the last 5-6 laps? Were they going to add extra laps onto the race? You think Max could get a 10s advantage in 3 laps on worn tyres when he had taken over 10 laps to get close to Ham.

I’m shocked to discover that all those who were claiming they just wanted close racing really just wanted Hamilton losing.

I think the point is before pointing your finger at one driver, lets see what the others were doing. Particularly as it seems most were doing it to some extent.
And given the number of drivers who stated they […]

You mean the photographic proof on this thread and all over social media? Or maybe watch some race footage over again without your blinkers on.

Or alternate race summary title ‘Max lost the Bahrain grand prix despite repeatedly abusing track limits.’

Well to be fair Ham would have had a better chance of winning in a Ferrari than the guy who lost to the rookie Hamilton.

So how much did the other drivers do it, and how much time did they gain? And how many abused T13? Because Max was. As he did T4.
Although I suspect if someone does come up with all the figures Max will just be […]

Yes, it was a pleasant change to have Natalie Pinkham doing lead commentary in FP1 and not have to listen to crofts whinge list. Cool to watch drivers exploring track limits during practice without having to […]

Sounds about right and probably why they didn’t penalise Max for the number of times he exceeded track limits at T13; giving him a clear advantage all the way down to T14.

Although I think a more obvious ‘rule’ […]

Yes, lucky Max ruined his newer tyres at T13 too. Or we turning a blind eye to that?

I think he was referring to Pirelli. Ham knows how to look after them; Max clearly doesn’t.
