Totally agree! Under the current rules, yes. Should they have done those laps behind a safety car? Debatable and that debate will never be resolved so we should let it go.

Was it sporting? No. There was no race […]

China is experiencing an increase in cases (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/13/covid-map-shows-latest-outbreak-in-mainland-china-as-delta-cases-rise.html) so that may not be an option…

Hmm, a thought arising out of your comment: Is this Horner trying to build Merc as Max’s enemy so that he’ll never sign with them when Lewis retires? It’s a long game to be sure.

Don’t object to that concept but it would have to be at certain tracks only. Monaco would be a dreadful place for such a race. It’s hardly a race as it currently is!

I think you’ll find Copse can be taken any way you want to depending on a number of variables including speed. Yes, outside may be he racing line, but if you want to go slower, you can take the inside line if that […]

Sorry, were we reading the same article? I’m sure Hamilton was mentioned as being “predominantly to blame” about three times and the article seeks to explain what blame he carries and the much lighter burden of blame for Max.

No, that’s far too risky for both drivers. We’ve seen the reports that Lewis’s car was stuffed without the red flag. The consequences of this sort of accident/incident/mendacity are far too tricky to control…

Yup, best racing that we’ve seen at the front all season.

Since when had any in race F1 penalty delivered “justice”? It’s always a time penalty and penalty points on a licence.

That’s just the current system and to expect anything else is just naive.

For me, based […]

How about a set of nice durable tyres for the sprint race, i.e. ones that don’t blister, and regular crappy ones for the main race?

Or, as you suggest more tyres. Push it to the extreme with a fresh set of […]

Best drivers in the world, right? Parking accuracy shouldn’t be a problem! In all seriousness, and this was never a serious suggestion, maybe giving everyone the same gear for the changing of tyres would be the […]

Automated, robot based, tyre changes in pit stops. It’s the only solution!

If Merc’s rear wings were an issue do you think RedBull would have failed to point that out? Do you think that Merc would risk their advantage by attempting to point out someone else’s saying “Theirs is worse, […]

I think you’re right with the difference between the rules and the test. DAS complied with the rules, which were then changed for the following year, the flexible wings have been designed to pass the test not […]

To be fair, copying success has always been part of F1. Double diffuser anyone?
