Kimi looks…relaxed. And comfortable. I’ll assume it’s either losing the Ferrari stress or gaining access to the open bar backstage.

Stevie Wonder just called to say he loves you. And he saw that coming.

“Energy Drinks” are soda without the fizz anyway. That entire market segment is based on a lie. F1 teams are finding it harder and harder to bring in sponsorship. If they’ve got cash they want to spend I think […]

Max should realize that the looks of the car are FAR less important than the function. Anyone who truly loves motorsports would watch fiberglass sausages with bicycle wheels attached if the racing is good.

The only conclusion I can draw from the lack of female drivers in top racing classes is that there aren’t enough/any qualified female drivers. The reason can’t be sexism, either. Race teams run on money. Sponsor […]

If sufficient women were interested in and showed aptitude for the sport they’d be in the cars, full stop. Any sponsor with a grain of good sense will sign a female driver with any shred of ability simply because […]

My experience with green tea ice cream goes like this. Every time.

First spoonful:
This is without a doubt the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth.

End of serving:
If I never see this stuff again as long […]

Ferrari has two problems. Vettel doesn’t handle stress well and never has. Part of the stress seems to be his trying to “run the team from the cockpit” as I’ve heard several pundits say. The team has made numerous […]

Gotta love it when nameless marketing guy has a better grasp on one of the biggest problems in the sport than the sport itself does.

Seb apparently left a copy of his manuscript “How To Make Mistakes Like A Champion” when he left Red Bull and Max has taken it to be a Bible. No ability to handle pressure, stupid mistakes and rattled when the car […]

Honda is going to win championships with Red Bull, just to spite Alonso. If Alonso goes to Indy in a Chevy powered car you can rest assured Honda will win like they’ve never won before. Clearly Alonso is cursed by […]

@dieterrencken That joke was Sochi-sey.

Red Bull’s program seems to burn most of the young drivers that it uses. I felt Kvyat got a supremely raw deal from them. First podium and gone within a few races in favor of Verstappen, who I’m not convinced has […]

FIA – “We need to cut costs so racing is more affordable.”

Ferrari – “We are using an ice bag to cool the OCU. It works great and costs nothing.”

FIA – “You can’t do that.”

(Ferrari spends untold tens of […]

“Charlie, make him get out of my way” is the new F1 mantra. Well, that and “Daddy, buy me an F1 career”. Such a sense of entitlement. And please, please explain why Grosjean gets penalty and points for “impeding” […]

We constantly hear the names Toto Wolf and Christian Horner, both good and bad. We hear other team principals blamed for the team’s issues or good performances. Why do we never seem to hear Mauricio Arrivabene […]

So, we replay last year with Hamilton as the top bun of the Verstappen Sandwich and Vettel as the bottom?

(rubs hands and checks pantry for popcorn)

Kimi still has a race car driver in him, it seems. Second fiddle to Vettel is no way to finish out a career.

Also you can look at it like this. Kimi wants to keep driving. Ferrari needs youth in the […]

Interestingly Kvyat has signed to drive with Toro Rosso next season. I’m glad to see him back but…OCON?

This isn’t difficult, Liberty. We mostly don’t care how the cars look. We mostly don’t care about fan fairs, Bruno Mars concerts or the color of Sebastian Vettel’s underwear. We want good, close racing in fast […]
