Mercedes desperately trying to depict themselves as some form of underdog fighting against a stronger force is really annoying when they’ve won almost everything for years now.

100% agree, if Aston Martin genuinely want to become not just winners but championship winners in F1 they’re probably going to have to build their own car & engine. Like you, I doubt a customer, or even the […]

The extreme salt coming from this team over a car they openly admit they copied and are now upset that their duplicated machine doesn’t work the way it was intended – as in, bring instant success without doing the […]

I still really doubt the advantage is anywhere near what they’re suggesting and its still impossible to say when the gap was so small after just one race. But the idea of Mercedes of all people complaining about a […]

I don’t buy it being close at all I’m afraid – and certainly not to the tune of multiple tenths. Looked to me like Verstappen was squeezing everything he could out of the Red Bull while the Mercedes underperformed […]

I’d say currently it’s needed; that without DRS the cars are so difficult to follow and the performance disparity between them would make overtakes exceptionally rare. For now, DRS helps cars of similar or slower […]

I still think he should have been sent to Alfa Romeo and replaced Giovinazzi. Learning in a car that can occasionally fight for points alongside a former world champion I think would have granted more meaningful […]

I don’t think this is a case of Red Bull having the strongest overall package and Mercedes beating them through luck or determination and more Red Bull being strong while Mercedes irons out the kinks from an […]

I suppose it is kind of weird that for most of the race the Mercs were going wide there with no apparent problem so Red Bull told Verstappen to follow suit – and then it became a problem. In a lot of ways I didn’t […]

Quite disappointing given the winner. Normal service resumes. I suppose the positive is that it was considerably closer so maybe there’s hope of an actual fight for the championship across the year.

I suppose it is quite funny reading them talk of how difficult and stubborn this car is and how much trouble Hamilton & Bottas are having with it and they’re still 2nd/3rd. Makes me wonder how truly easy the last […]

The idea of Honda’s engine being considered as strong if not more powerful than the Mercedes is something that seems unreal when thinking of their struggles with McLaren. They’ve come so far and improved so much […]

I’d say there’s an argument that the rules had played a large part in Mercedes dominance, hampering teams clawing back performance while allowing a strong leader to cement an advantage. So the idea the rules could […]

Suprised to see Perez out in Q2 – had suspected he’d struggle but didn’t expect that. The idea of swapping Albon/Gasly out for a driver that could have consistency, could run at the front with Verstappen and help […]

Pretty good setup for the race! Red Bull look pretty strong but I’m still expecting Mercedes to overhaul them.

Impressed with AlphaTauri, Gasly doing well and Tsunoda looks like he’s got a lot of potential. […]

I mean… it looks promising for a good fight, doesn’t it? I’m trying to keep expectations low but admittedly I’m hopeful. I’d really love to see Red Bull taking command as the frontrunners for a change, but I got […]

Verstappen fastest gives me hope for a tighter fight at the front but I dunno… I still feel like when it matters Mercedes is going to just stomp over everyone.

Perhaps I’m too cynical but I don’t buy Mercedes problems at all and fully expect a 1-2 in qualifying and the race. As much as I’d love Red Bull to be closer to them – or even faster than them I just can’t see it […]

That article by Pierre Gasly is probably more brutally honest than I’d ever expect from an F1 driver. I’ll admit I’ve been harsh on his form in the past – I do think he was poor at Red Bull, but what he […]

I voted AlphaTauri. Loved last years and just thought it needed a touch more blue, so the new one is perfect for me. Got to admit the Alpine is also a supremely nice looking car.

Confused at so many votes for […]
