I agree but they like to get the season finished before the US Fiotball season starts. I just wish that they wouldn’t finish at Laguna. It’s an awesome racetrack but the races there tend to be a bit of a for […]

A driver with a fire extinguisher at Zandwoort while the marshalls are stand about idle? Not a great image.

That made me laugh out loud and my eyes water at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

There’s a documentary on Netflix at the minute, ‘The 24 Hour War’, which has a pretty good overview of the whole Ford / Ferrari battle. I recommend it.

Absolutely. I quit smoking before tobacco advertising was banned and it really peeved me seeing fags, fags, fags every time I watched a race!

Surprised that Ferrari don’t run with Marlboro branding in testing. Is there something in the rules that prevents it? Is this classified as something other than ‘private testing’?

Tobacco is addictive and unhealthy. Alcohol can cause problems if used irresponsibly. Cannabis has many uses beyond ‘recreational’. Some major US companies have already filed patents for cannabis products. If […]

The problem with anything introduced to F1 is that, within a few races, everybody on the grid has figured out the ‘optimum strategy’ and they’re all doing th same thing. There need to be more variables & more […]

What is the reason for the current single supplier contract? Commercial, on safety grounds? Personally I would prefer competition between tyre manufacturers on the track rather than at the PowerPoint […]

Perfectly put. They’ve also screwed up the detailed map & driver tracker to something simple & now not fit for purpose.skylab commented on the post, Is Alonso now seeking a unique 'Triple Crown of Championships'? 4 years, 5 months ago
Like the best drivers down through the ages, he is in the best car because he has proven himself as one of the best drivers. Rather churlish to suggest that he won’t deserve a WEC win.
