At the begin of the pandemic F1 had to adapt itself to survive. They did it superbly, being one of the only global sporting events to even happen last year.
Since then it seems they really embraced this new […]

Alpine is all about positivity like a great heritage and motorsports, yet it has not penetrated enough in not enough countries, but can still command a fair share of the market because the product is […]

@maddme still, a laptop for gaming remains a compromise. Tightly packaged components will die sooner, but I was referring to ultrabooks, because the article talks about gaming on an ultrabook which is not meant […]

Choosing a laptop for gaming is a bad choice most of the time, and the day ultrabooks will become credible gaming rigs has not yet come. The specifications for this one are really unimpressive – it lacks about […]

@jerejj hahah couldn’t beat red bull’s sub-2 seconds pitstop so went for the longest, and yet another record broken by mercedes.

Didn’t see that spin, but he was already last, plagued with severe oil pump problems, making accelerations completely random and probably not helping. He was asked to let Mazepin get in front, to be fair.

That’s an early start for the silly season!
But I’m happy to see Esteban confirming the talent he showed when he was at Force India.

Amazed how teams still end-up piling on each other at the end of the lap with a few seconds left.

“So it’s not that you lose the speed, but you are driving in what you believe is the most efficient way of driving the car and maybe sometimes even against your instinct of what you will do if you were out on tra […]

The Alpines are looking a bit stronger than the previous rounds, let’s see how they fare in qualifying. Also, looking at the onboards the Alpine seems quite brutal in gear shifts, the car looks so nervous or is i […]

Valterri, Georges is faster than you, do you understand?

I guess that’s what was to be expected, but a bit shocking nonetheless. His start was pretty bad, he lost four places in one lap. Bahrain gave a wrong picture, it looked like if he never left but in the meantime, […]

The fun thing is that Verstappen almost spun in an identical fashion on the first restart after Latifi crashed, at the exact same location.

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.
