So effectively, when two drivers are in a battle, the driver in front is allowed to go off-track to maintain position, while the driver behind can not use that part of the track to overtake? The car behind is only […]

If Verstappen is serious about the title, Bottas is irrelevant, the only thing that matters: finish ahead of Hamilton.

Red Bull didn’t respond to the first Mercedes stop, afraid of Bottas taking advantage of a (V)SC when he goes long, but in the title race that doesn’t matter. If you’re Verstappen and you’re going for the title, […]

I can watch the live broadcast for free from the Dutch cable company Ziggo. However it features commentary — in typical Dutch fashion done solo ‘to bond with the lonely viewer’ — by professional clown Olav Mol […]

RIP faith

While you may be statistically and principally right, I think it’s not so much a matter of reducing risk, but reducing liability…

Imagine making the call ‘no problem, leave the car there’ and then somebody […]

I think it’s time to abolish IP altogether, considering the pointless exercise of these legal teams ‘just doing their normal job’ around the world around the clock…

I think Vettel playing bumper cars in Baku should be an immediate DQ for that race. Immediate action always works best and is clearest that such behaviour is not tolerated. Getting 6 points and then a few more […]

Combine these ideas! Have qualifying and race on the first weekend, then reverse grid on the second weekend. We won’t get robbed of qualifying at the venue, and we get a direct comparison.

This is why we can’t have on-boards during the race as much.

What exactly is an independent team and how is Williams, now that is sold, any less independent than it was before it was sold?

If you stay within the delta you are allowed to do this. If the team did it right, they kept Sainz on one extreme of the delta and Norris on the other extreme and were able to create a gap for the double stop. […]

Imagine having the pressure of this legacy resting on your shoulders. It took great courage to even try to continue it. Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out for her.

@psynrg what do you mean? did you see car 44 giving car 44 a tow before?

The driver of car 11 (…) had accelerated in order to try to give car 11 “a tow”
I haven’t seen the incident, but it seems hard to give oneself a tow?

Thank you for providing the historical context alongside this idea that I can only approve. I never realised that F2 was originally just meant as a ‘different formula’ with different rules, not necessarily as the […]

If you can’t make anything better yourself, copying seems a very legitimate strategy for all teams to quickly catch-up. I hope Williams will take this as a lesson and I look forward to seeing them fight for […]

Why are they calling ‘radio off’, what does it mean?

@gechichan I think ‘opposite to VER’ has little value if it ends up as staying out one more lap, clearly the undercut is the best, but if Verstappen is pitting, I’d say go in right behind him: if something goes […]

How did they come 15 points? Was it a calculation, a rule, or did they just pick a number?
