Off-camber kerbs?

There is still no rule that prevents a championship contender’s (sister) team mate taking out the rival. You can write whatever rule you want, but it’s going to be hard to consistenty punish a teammate whose car […]

I’m always wondering why not more teams use the tactic of using both cars in synch to stop a rival behind. Clearly a single car is a sitting duck against DRS on the Sao Paolo start-finish, I thought maybe it’s […]

This is why I appreciate sports like snooker. Practice is rewarded more than anything else.

I agree. The most exciting part was Kygo doing the afterparty.

Times could still be equally fast and with better (less downforce-reliant) racing if they would just fit proper tyres on the cars.

Some great points here. Also consider that a 3-stop might be more viable if you are allowed to run medium-medium-medium instead of having to run medium-hard-medium enforced by the rules. It then becomes easier to […]

Alonso has taken up the noble task of improving the rule book for future generations by showing every possible way it can be exploited. Kudos.

You don’t need team orders for this, you can discuss it ahead of the race, or you can just leave it to the driver to act autonomously in the best interest of the team.

@DonSalsa
the reason they allowed it was Hamilton had effecticely undercut Norris by then, so coming in means losing the race, the only way to win is to hope the time gained by not stopping is enough to slither […]

Sprint on Friday.

That’s a great idea! I love it.

But how would you determine the starting grid order for that Sprint Race?
By championship points? (either normal or reverse)
What about the contenders […]

I think today demonstrated that even with a halo, the driver is not protected from a wheel coming from above. The gap at the top is too large.

Mazepin wants to cool his team mates tyres on purpose, because he knew Mick was more dependant on a fast outlap for tyre temp. That was his master plan which he was not able to execute because Mick bended the […]

Pretty sure you could have some fans of either driver provide this information from around the track for free!

Putting slicks on while under red flag could have potentially been a RACE WIN for ANY DRIVER, or at the very least a really good shot at a podium for teams that otherwise have no chance. I was really surprised not […]

Interestingly though other teams are stacking 2 cars for a double stop, so the second car then tends to slow down on purpose on pit entry to make a gap for their team to service the first car and get ready for the […]

I will admit I’m a big fan of Rosberg.
And Alonso, the fact he’s even announcing it just to prove a point is completely bad-ass.

The problem is that there is no rule against *maintaining* a position by going off track. That’s part of why DRS overtakes are the only viable overtakes nowadays: no corner rule problems for the car behind.

I […]

You are correct and I don’t think this is right.

The concept of a sprint race is not bad and the first 5 laps were actually surprisingly enjoyable (8 laps maximum should be enough for a sprint race, make tyre […]
