Another good synopsis but need point out:

“on course for sixth at the Nurburgring “
He was running in / on course for third (even with a degrading power unit)

I’m really looking forward to this.

I prefer reading books on my Kindle, but I hear there’s some drawings in it, does anyone how well do they display on the Kindle? … I’d hate to miss something from the […]

Surprised how high the other scores were. The race up front was pretty uneventful (except for one pitstop pass).

There was an interesting battle in the midfield with a few different strategies and changes of […]

Agreed. My analogy is:
Why is an iPhone generally considered the best phone? Its not that it does anything more than most other phones, its just easier to use. If a car is technically the best, but you cant […]

I gave it a 2 out of 10.

Turn 2 really annoyed me, the drivers who cut it at the start (Hamilton, Alonso and Grosjean) gained a huge advantage which had a large impact on the final result. This is not how a […]

Don’t ban team radio, ban the lap time target for drivers under normal racing conditions, let them choose how hard to push based on how the car is performing.

@keithcollantine Agreed, FOM is limited by the satellites they use at the moment. But I thought the deal they signed with TATA a few years back was meant to open the door to an internet based system that would […]

is it odd to anyone else that spectators have higher definition cameras at the circuit than FOM (we’ve seen a few 4k videos now).

Come on Bernie, put your hand in your pocket and deliver us some better quality :)

Strongly agree. This doesn’t stop talented junior racers getting to F1, it just means they need to rack up some experience first. Plus anything to reduce paid drivers so good to me.

uh? really? a driver who leaves the track must re join in a safe manner. Kimi caused a massive accident, caused the retirement of other drivers and caused a red flag. Does that sound safe?

and this is a guy that people listen to?!

If McLaren want to be a top team again I think they need to place Kevin in another team for a couple of years and go with Button and Alonso. Kevin is a great talent but I think he should be honing his abilities in […]

Loving this rule change. Finally we wont have races where the Safety Car leads the most laps. It’ll make it safer for marshals clearing up the incident too

@fer-no65 yeah I think you’re right, certainly Ward’s approach was to grab headlines. Perhaps it was the wrong approach, or maybe he didn’t start his campaign early enough.

Ward did produce a manifesto and along with making criticisms did offer solutions. Todt didn’t even produce a manifesto. Todt now doesn’t need to do anything for the next 4 years. It was a shame that the system […]

they work blooming quick at Mercedes F1 Engines! :)
