What’s the point of this and rate the race? We don’t see the results anymore

You know it! The “hypocrite” thing is such a boring, lazy argument. We’re all hypocrites by existing. People who pedal that line.. they sure showed you, Seb! Any danger of some original thoughts? And perhaps help […]

Also, what happened to the Rate the Race score summaries that would get published ~ a week after each race?? We’re all voting and never finding out what the average is @keithcollantine

If ya can’t give that a 10 then what can ya? Stories everywhere!

The venn diagram is a perfect circle

+1 for this. I’d rather 18-20 races, without so many double headers. Austria didn’t need it and nor does anywhere else. Ok, except Baku.

Source? Windy is predicting rain on Sunday

Does anyone have a link/source to changes in the last sector? First I’ve heard of it!

this F1 seasons’ ultimate challenge is make one of Paul Ricard, Sochi and Abu Dhabi exciting. Just one. Hopefully the rain does it!

windy.com suggests rain on race day, during the race. I have found their forecast more reliable than others. But this is F1, of course, and unless there is a typhoon en route to the track, rain is unlikely. Will […]

Very carefully managed words, some vintage PR here

Perez’s two victories have seen Hamilton and Verstappen fail to score (although Ham was a non-starter in Sakhir), a frenchman and a Racing Point-Aston Martin car join in on the podium (Ocon + Gasly, Stroll + Vettel)

Stroll and Verstappen crashes should have been instant safety cars. It took 1 min and 22 seconds after Verstappen’s car came to a stop to deploy the SC. Astonishingly bad.

And as you say @Jere, why it took […]

The event is second to none, quali is fascinating, but F1 cars have outgrown Monaco on race day. A 4/10, with a few interesting moments with the pit stops

While you’re at it, tighten turn five, but keep the camber to promote different lines. Revamp 6-7-8 into a big long, fast left-handed sweeper that encourages different lines, before the fast turn 9. Then, wipe out […]

After four rounds in that Red Bull seat

2018 Ricciardo – 4th, DNF, 1st, DNF
2019 Gasly – 11th, 8th, 6th, DNF
2020 Albon – 13th, 4th, 5th, 8th
2021 Perez – 5th, 11th, 4th, 5th

He’s getting there, and he […]

Nice to see a reduction in DRS for the first time since…?? I’d have cut it by 220m. Let’s see how it goes.

Before the red flag: 9/10
After the red flag: 6.5-7/10

Superb first half of the race, lots of passing, fighting and different strategies at play.

In the dry, the race for the podium places was ruined by an […]

9/10, a fight for the lead, stories and action up and down the field. Leclerc did damn well in that Ferrari. Norris was a star, and Perez drove a blinder to P5.

It’s so damn good seeing a battle for victory. […]
