In my Hungary example, I should point out that Mercedes would–importantly–be qualified to file a claim for the losses to Bottas’ car–this is a “no fault” scheme.

After a 3-year experiment, if there are […]

I’ve taken a deeper look ay costs for various F1 car components, and recommend the article by James Elson in Motorsport: […]

Terrific piece, Hazel and Deiter, very well done. I’ve seen a dozen articles about the aftermath of Gasly’s first win, but this one dug into his relocation to Milan + the win being the start of something new for […]

Can someone elucidate me?

When I saw the POV video of Hamilton coming into the pit lane, it appeared that there were two *yellow* X signals, not two *red* ones. That’s a big difference. Or are GP drivers […]

He’d kill for a chance at F1, I suppose.

Sorry Dieter, but you only get three free passes a year to use the cliche, “only time will tell.” This is your first offense for 2020—you have two free passes left. Use them carefully.

Might it be more insig […]

When he pays attention, Boris Johnson. But that’s hit and miss, by the look of it.

Do the laundry and the cooking, Ian. Put the kids to bed while you’re at it. And when you’re done sweeping and mopping the floors, we’ll talk about treating her like “all the other strategists.” Honking dinosaur…..

The way to think of the Ferrari special heritage bonus is that when Bernie went to sell F1 to the highest bidder F1 needed to lock in the top talent. Ferrari’s name, in Bernie’s estimation, was worth a chunk of […]

Well #14 has to be Magnussen. And above him Raikkonen, Perez, maybe Ricciardo at 11th, Gasley at #10 because of the comeback and podium with TR. Then in #7-9 the young rookies, led by #6 Vettel. Top five will […]

Discharitable reading on your part, @f1osaurus of a difficult evolution out of the patchwork Ecclestone Concorde into a more businesslike arrangement. For example, Ferrari’s heritage payments are cut by 50%. Ask […]

Second to last graf should read: “However he is sure he will be racing something other than F2.”

Only people of color besides Lewis Hamilton were Brazilians in the stands…

I played ice hockey growing up in Minnesota, where any kids with skates and a stick could end up playing varsity. But a generation […]

Sounds good and reasonable for once. Have to see what the vote is, but I think Ferrari are under pressure not to exercise the veto–it would be a huge turn off just as F1 is starting to win new fans.

The big […]

Rohn Jay Miller, leading F1 writer on Quora, here. My birthday is April 7, 1954, the same day that Jackie Chan was born. And sadly, I’ll remember the day Jim Clark died all my life because it was on my 14th […]

The tough answer is that Nico Hulkenberg, like anyone else, doesn’t deserve a seat in F1. It’s a brutal, results-oriented business, and Nico over a decade simply hasn’t delivered the podiums, wins and points expec […]

Pop some popcorn and gather everyone in Max’s suite to binge watch Netflix’ “Drive To Survive” for the 9th time.

holding his feet to the fire, there’s real hope for Le Regie.

I don’t think any of the F1 team principals are out of their depth. Claire Williams is the bosses daughter, Lawrence Stroll is a retailer, but they’re managing, and other than their two borderline qualifications, […]
