Better would be for Mazepin to exit F1 and Zhou go to Haas. I’d like to see Giovanazzi get another year at Alfa Romeo but otherwise I’d like to see Piastri. Regarding Pourchaire I think he needs another year in F2.

Given the issues at Haas with Mazepin…

I think any driver alongside Mazepin is going to have the same problems. I don’t see any reason to believe that the […]

I agree. Last year both collisions would have been deemed racing incidents. I think these precedents will make penalties common for racing hard.

2021!

Ross Brawn about awarding more points for (standalone) sprint race:
“I think it would have to. For the drivers to fight hard I think you have to have some decent reward.”

Why couldn’t you have thought of t […]

I suspect Hamilton will not have an easy time getting past the McLarens. He’ll need to clear them at the start or it might take until they pit to get by.

Now Pirelli will make an ultra-mega-sooper-dooper-soft compound just for sprint races.

Trashy commercialism. Oh and those medals look like something handed out after the 4th Annual Cerebral Palsy Fun Walk and 5k in Omaha Nebraska. Then they attached them to key lanyards. At least they skipped the […]

Bottas took pole at 5 races for each of the last two seasons and Hamilton won the championships. I don’t think starting behind his teammate for two races in 2021 signals the end of his career.

I don’t like the sprint race concept or reverse grids, however I do think this idea is better than the current format of sprint qualifying:

“I can hear that there are different proposals like, for exa […]

The FOM people keep saying the format is popular while at the same time all the chattter and polling seems to indicate the opposite.

They can but the sport will always suffer. Once so much money is involved the sport will never be main consideration. Look at the corruption involved with FIFA and IOC. F1 has avoided this largely by dictatorial decree.

So how much ballast do you think they would have to add to the RB16B so that Mazepin could keep up in the Haas?

Yeah if success ballast were introduced f1 would lose any resemblance to its past form. Could you imagine if 100lbs were dropped into the MP4/4 to make it equal with a Ligier? What are these people smoking? […]

In my opinion it is important that F1 remains a simple contest of person and machine. Why the heck would we want to penalize performance of the best cars and drivers? I don’t see what this would achieve. Maybe t […]

Yeah I suspect at least Lando will get past max during the qualifying race non-race tmw

ugh I forgot this weekend had a sprint race. I really like how the normal F1 weekend builds slowly. I hope they forgo the podium trailer thing that was whack.

Yeah it’s the reality that these drivers are in F1 but it doesn’t mean that’s the best thing for the sport. F1 would be more interesting if all the drivers had their seats on merit alone. Sure they have super […]

I think there’s some truth in this but it is still a gross oversimplification. The match of a car’s strengths and weaknesses to a driver’s style is an important factor.

evil monocular presence and Christian Horner’s immense ego. I could not imagine working with either of them
