Nice insight, thank you!

@aiii exactly this. From the most beloved underdog to an annoying and often aggressive team. Replacing Perez with Vettel, having Stroll junior as first driver, copying Mercedes. Otmar received new goals from the […]

Active aero sounds like a lovely idea, though often F1 turned a good idea into a disastrous gimmick. Active aero is not an industry standard but I’d be very keen to see polymorphic cars in the future. Hopefully it […]

… and less fuel, aiming towards carbon neutrality will be tricky with these monsters.

Having your company’s logo on a car driven by a Schumacher and displayed to hundreds of millions fans is pretty marketable, even if the car finishes last I guess.

We’re close. We’re not miles away from Mercedes and Red Bull comparing to last season.
Norris finished 46 seconds behind Hamilton, about half a lap (2.7 km – or about 1.7 miles) . So he’s not wrong per se but it […]

@kaiie Indeed for the flowing speed trend, it’s like they all want a Mugello track now.

His first tenure at Force India was more than convincing.

Dear Otmar,

Copying last year’s Mercedes, then complaining that current floor changes is harming you is ridiculous.
Will you turn the 2022 Racing Point into an RB16B copy ?

Sensible decision, but I wonder if control software a listed part? Do some teams use the software of another one ? Because if it’s different systems, comparing configurations will be a nightmare, hardly […]

Nice session!
Is that the Honda engine, or Red Bull suspension, or high rake philosophy that’s paying dividends?

I’m a bit disappointed by Alpine, though not that surprised. Hopefully it will be able to mount […]

Fair enough, let’s say it was one of the most reliable in the test.

Hopefully that car is able to get in the mix for third place, I’d love seeing a five-way battle for third. It did not look particularly quick but it’s probably one of the most reliable in the pack. Also, no driver […]

Went for Alpine, a lovely distinctive and striking livery! Then with returnees it’s still RedBull to my eyes, those contrasts are still very catchy.

@xenn1 I wonder how smaller an operation it really is, with budget caps now involved. My guess would be that it’s way more evenly matched than before, and they are used to work with that kind of capacity so this […]

@aiii indeed, but there is no multicam on the web version. I usually end up with several devices actually :
my portable PC to stream the main content on the tv, a tablet to display the times and sectors, and my […]

What we really want for F1TV:

– Chromecast / Airplay support
– Android TV App
– redesigned unusable components:
– progress bar
– multi-cam selection
– Also having a grid with the next schedules, […]

Mercedes may eventually overcome the laps deficit with their engineering power. I’m more worried for Haas as their direct rivals lodged many more laps this morning, hopefully it isn’t too bad.

They had no tokens for a nice paint job unfortunately, it’s their primer.

Pretty sure Schumacher’s family is wealthy and he’s got Ferrari backing though.
