Though I personally find a superbowl very difficult to watch and it’s a 4 hours programme filled with ads, shows and a bit of action in-between.

Maybe F1 should divide a race into seasons and episodes which […]

That medium tyre was miserable indeed.

Indeed Alonso was at the only place he could be and outside of the racing line, it’s just Ocon having a big oversteer moment in turn 4 and end up right behind Alonso’s almost stopped car on the left.

Now maybe […]

Of all the newcomers in the teams he’s clearly been the most performing and that car definitely shows some strength which he is able to extract.
So far his return is quite a success, hopefully next year Alpine’s […]

Of course, just accept worsening working conditions quietly as there will always be someone ready to do your job for less money anyways.

@gt-racer True that it does not hold the rights – but we don’t either and yet got it for free, such is their desire of exposure. I’m quite sure though W series would gladly feature on F1TV for a more than […]

You forgot another solution which is having all circuits covered with transparent roofs.

A shame there is visibly no place for W series in all this. At most it will be pushed here and there, and not even aired on F1TV which is absolutely baffling.

It’s the same at my workplace, a national […]

Great stuff from Carlos! A performance that puts him in front of Charles, quite a feat actually. Haters gonna hate but still quite a nice job!

How come that there is an escape trajectory that one can take absolutely straight like a rocket. Some grass, a gravel trap or even an additional polystyrene block would have been enough. A bit cynical from him but […]

A timely great drive from Hauger in race one it seems!

Maybe it’s also the time to talk about how “easy”, prescriptive and predictable the cars and the tracks are ?
People able to do the exact same thing for 50+ laps on layouts where no differentiation is possible is […]

I wouldn’t change qualifying either. They could just introduce local rules, for example closing the pitlane exit 3’30 before the end of each session on that racetrack specifically.

@red-andy very nice idea! Maybe with their own third cars, or by having the sprint race after the main race ? Otherwise rookie crashes could play a bit much if F1 drivers can’t race.

Some people seem upset by Mercedes’ position, I for one absolutely understand it. There is probably enormous benefits Red Bull can have from having a contracted driver on a Mercedes engine. Even race by race, […]

Faster, slower, difficult to say. At the moment Alonso was in front he was managing, and Ocon never got close enough to try a pass. On lap 5-6 or something Ocon’s engineer said to him Alonso was managing his pace. […]

A real shame for Cordeel, I was looking for him but his weekend is ruined.

Hauger is definitely the one that pulls something special every weekend, that battle with Martins was so tight!

I worry though for […]

Though Lewis (like probably all of them) only teamplays until the wins are at stake. We saw that back in the days with Alonso, or more recently with the 2016 finale.

@frood19 Even if indeed there have been serious floods in Belgium in the previous weeks, most probably linked to climate change, I can very much say that Sunday’s weather had nothing special for the place, being […]

This pointsgate is the only really annoying thing about the (non) race.
