F1 drivers, bosses and fans during 2020: how good is it racing at these old school circuits! Let’s find room for them on the calendar

F1: ok so what you’re saying is let’s have a street race in Saudi Arabia? Done!

I’d like to see either the Villeneuve chicane or Variante Alta removed to increase overtaking possibilites. Thoughts? They would need to re-profile the straight after Tamburello back to how it was pre circuit […]

It’s ~700m with a ~600m lead in to it. Much better than the disgrace we had last week

How did Giovinazzi go from “likely to lose his seat” to “expected to stay” in a matter of three weeks?

Three things we don’t want;

– reverse grid races
– overly-powerful DRS zones
– races in countries where we’re expanding for expansion sake (i.e. Russia, Saudi Arabia) meaning epic circuits like Mugello, […]

10, if that’s not a 10, I dunno what is.

Also, what happened to Keith doing a summary of Rate the Race results? We just now do this poll then hear nothing

Merc worried about the run to Pouhon? What a troll. They’re the fastest in the middle sector by 1/2 a second, and will pull clear of others on corner exits. The run to Pouhon is short, and they have more grip […]

There’s a water park at spa, a roller coaster at Monaco and Melbourne is a figure-eight

Prediction – a shower will fall during quali, with an FIA forecast of 90% chance of rain on race day. It will rain at the water park (Ted can see it from Eau Rouge/Radillion), with rain in five minutes said more […]

8/10, three drivers could have won and it really kept ya guessing. Funnily enough, the midfield battles were rather tame compared to what we’ve been used to in recent times. Different strategies = better racing. […]

This is incredibly arrogant and is a massive slap in the face for all those in the UK sticking to the rules. We will ignore a 14 day quarantine… because motorsport! It sets a worrying precedent and the cost of […]

How is Silverstone going to go ahead? Seriously? Two countries in the world you would avoid right are the US and UK. How could the UK hold two races in a week, yet they have about 4,500 new cases per day with no […]

Here here. Didn’t even think about the hospital idea.

You’re on the money here. It’s not about what logistics F1 can pull together, it’s about what governments do about their borders. And the idea of a traveling circus going country to country “cos it’s what the […]

What ever happened to quality over quantity? It might be possible for 12 or so races, but they’d be lucky to get any more than that. I don’t think Brawn, in particular, actually understands how serious this […]

I think F1 needs to get a grip on reality. I think some of the teams are, particularly the ones based in Italy and McLaren. And I’d chuck Renault in the mix, the way things are going there, too.

It’s taken […]

@phylyp fair question. Maybe it’s a bit of both? He’s been quite critical in the lead up to it, saying the whole virus thing was nonsense during an IG live session. I think he’s right if talking about taking too […]

Been more impressed with Brown the longer he is in the sport. He made the right call.

Speaking of calls, someone needs to call out Darren Heath, the brilliant F1 photographer, who is pedalling unhelpful and […]

Solid 6, had quite a bit of potential that didn’t quite come to the party. Verstappen move on Vettel a highlight. Midfield more intense than ever. I think DRS worked how it SHOULD work, it got the cars close […]
