Previously, the position would have been decided by either team scoring a point. Now it doesn’t. It was a close battle, now it isn’t.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.

It was. Vettel was disqualified. However, there is a right of appeal.
What do you want?
No right of appeal? That just means that if the stewards make a mistake, tough.
Quicker appeal, like an hour? How are they […]

While I tend to agree, to a point, I don’t think the bump was deliberate. Hamilton banged wheels with someone too.
This is what you get when DRS works as intended and just gives the pursuer a sniff of a chance, […]

Seriously, if anything the penalty was a bit harsh – Verstappen has a steering wheel as well.

Qualifying was more intense than the sprint. I don’t think that the sprint format, note use of the word format, adds anything. Particularly irksome was the truck ride. I definitely think that the fastest in […]

The only difference between the Norris/Perez incident and the first Perez/LeClerc incident was that Perez actually did take LeClerc out and LeClerc actually was ahead. Norris just held his line, and Perez was […]

I think the Merc has the race pace, especially in Lewis’ hands. He’s a real tyre whisperer these days and the Red bull is clearly harder on its tyres – both Mercedes were faster on the second lap, even on the […]

I Found it quite dull with the exception of the tyre failures causing the artificial bunching. Since those shouldn’t have happened, I went for a 5.

Amazing strength on that nose, and a lucky unlucky break for Daly – who is completely justified in claiming he could have won it.

Meant as a reply to @broke1984 , sorry

The wheel ended up in the infield. Both Herta and Veekay faded due to having to make their last stop early because they too hard too early and had poor fuel consumption early on.

I’ve been watching a lot of Indy car this year, just to pass the time – most have been somewhere from underwhelming to disappointing.
This was amazing though, best race of any kind I’ve seen for at least a couple of years.

I completely agree with COTD. Everyone can make a mistake, and Mercedes strategists have been great this year – except Monaco when their single mistake was an absolute howler that even fans could facepalm at as it […]

It wasn’t a race. Just a drive.

Doesn’t matter who won because it wasn’t a contest. I love seeing Formula One cars in Monaco, but it shouldn’t be for championship points – it should be for bragging rights and […]

It’ll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. Skill, patience and tyre preservation (not to mention errors) may yet gain him a few places.

McLaren: 1 or 2 of them were true.

I watched all the races so far, and am really trying to like it. A few things I can’t stand though…
One, the commentary silence every few minutes as the Americans have yet another advert break.
Two, the cars […]

A fair analysis, I think.

DAS broke no rules. Bendy wings do.
