Nobody seems to mention Leclerc, who was only 1 thousandth slower than Perez

If anyone gets a bad start they’ll certainly be swamped. Praying it doesn’t happen to Kimi.

Assuming fairly even starts, it’s possible that Vettel could get into the lead, although given it’s a lot narrowe […]

@mbr-9 I completely disagree. It blends in best when it’s the same colour as the rest of the car because it looks like it is part of the car. When it’s a different colour, dark or light, it sticks out as som […]

What I meant by that was the first collision didn’t appear to shunt or budge the body of Ricciardo’s car. From his on board I couldn’t even tell when it happened.

It was almost as though the collision with […]

I agree, Vergne was perhaps one of the best drivers to be dropped from F1 in recent years, easily better than much of the current grid

I’m curious to know what happened in the collision with Räikkönen. It wasn’t clear from the onboard whether it was a separate shunt or whether it was triggered by Ricciardo getting hit. Looking at Ricci […]

I don’t see how this is remotely confusing. Tyres A–F (softest to hardest), three are nominated. And if teams say prime we know they mean hard, etc., it’s no different from them doing it now.

The dilemma in te […]

Biggsy, can you explain why? A quick search turned out multiple results confirming what I said.

@rethla it makes sense then if there are ways it can be manipulated

How does this make them poor losers? He’s just explaining where their weaknesses are, probably in response to a question. They did celebrate, they celebrated their success over the last few years.

The Force I […]

If I’m not mistaken a stalled wing produces less downforce but more drag

DRS completely killed this race. It was already quite dull but those drs passes were by far the worst thing about it. Next year it should be completely banned for this race

1.5 revolutions at 16,000 rpm is 0.005625 seconds, which twice in a pit stop is 0.01125 seconds. (That seems a tad too fast.)

Even so, by comparison, 5 revolutions at 6000 rpm (still ridiculously fast) is 0.05 […]

Ocon and Perez both excelled. It’s a tough call between them

6. One point on for the start chaos

@girts that’s been my opinion pretty much all along, hence why I’ve never bought into the Kubica return hype. He’s been out of racing for longer than he was even competing in F1, and now he’s got a permane […]

This is completely mad. When was the last time there was such a big reshuffle like this mid season?

I sort of feel the same. Although Ericsson isn’t particularly great, it’s a bit unfair that he should lose out because of this when it’s got nothing to do with him. To be fair though if somebody has to go, it’s […]

@f1bobby @paeschli because the constructor is still called Force India. Racing Point is effectively like a title sponsor replacing Sahara in the name

It’s even worse after that qualifying performance

Shock. Feel for Ocon but at least he knows he’s not lost his seat because he wasn’t good enough. Hopefully he’ll be at Williams next year
