Alex Brown commented on the post, Hamilton backs F1's decision to end We Race As One grid moment 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Gestured like that (from F1 and Fia) are good placeholders until action can start to happen. It’s been long enough now though; individual drivers and teams are putting stuff in place already, so it’s time to see […]
Alex Brown commented on the post, Herta's F1 superlicence plight shows IndyCar is "very undervalued" by FIA 9 months, 3 weeks ago
One issue is the homogeneity of the cars in F1 feeder series, which help develop a particular driving style. F1 drivers are all super-smooth, millimetreticly precise alchemists of tyre wear. I think that learning […]
Alex Brown commented on the post, W Series graduates won't reach F1 without talent to succeed – Coulthard 1 year, 1 month ago
I’m probably wrong, but I feel like Coulthard is talking here like it’s the Red Bull young driver program: a bit all-or-nothing. Loads of F1 drivers have had chance after chance. I hope the women don’t get written […]

If he isn’t fast enough that’ll be no shame on him, but would reflect badly on Williams.
Alex Brown commented on the post, Hamilton crashes during Superbike run at Jerez 3 years, 8 months ago
I marshal bike trackdays and BSB tests and if we have, say, 15 fallers in a day, one or two might pick up minor injuries (dislocated fingers, sprains). Serious injuries are rare, maybe 5 to 10 this year (complex […]
Alex Brown commented on the post, How much quicker did Formula E's first generation get? 3 years, 10 months ago
Have FormulaE done the impossible and written technical regs that keep costs down, allow innovation, promote manufacturer involvement alongside privateers and create good racing? It’s a shame that many people […]
Alex Brown commented on the post, 'Mario Kart' hyperboost and softer tyres part of Formula E's overhauled race format 3 years, 10 months ago
I feel like the hyperboost and tyre wear are kind of at odds with each other. Energy management is one thing because with the excellent graphics we can follow it, hut tyre wear is less visible. And I think the […]

It’s so good to see a consolidated vision of how the series will oh no wait. Sticking plaster.

I don’t know why, but this round up left me feeling really despondent.
Alex Brown commented on the post, Renault costing Red Bull half a second on straights – Verstappen 4 years, 9 months ago
Final drive ratios are still free, I believe. Plus, downforce isn’t automatically a top speed killer if it can be created efficiently. The goal is a good lift/drag ratio. Red Bull might be running higher wing […]

Stewart, Clark, Hunt, Mansell, Button, Hamilton… That’s right, they’re all Champions who moved abroad to avoid paying tax. So why are we singling out just one?
Alex Brown commented on the post, F1 will "destroy itself" if it becomes too safe, Lauda warns 4 years, 10 months ago
The first thing that came to my mind was the accident that all but ended Nikki’s career: the ’91 Lauda Air plane crash. Death is simply not acceptable and any industry like this can’t justify it. People’s lives […]

“Remember that the in Friends?”
“No.”
“Me neither.”Alex Brown commented on the post, Do F1's blue flag rules need changing? 5 years, 1 month ago
One thing that irritates me is the way F1 feels it is special in this regard. All other international racing is run with the same blue flag rules, and these are similar to national rules too. Essentially, a flag […]

You know, for every problem people have with F1, there’s a different series you can watch instead/as well. I wish we could stop expecting F1 to change to our individual taste, as if no-one else matters. F1 is […]
