You’re correct. I actually think that there’s a hidden feature here – teams will have to choose whether to have a heavier, longer wheelbase car, or a lighter short wheelbase car – and accept the tradeoffs. More […]

*wouldn’t. Dang autocorrect.

I would at have predicted that in a crash strewn race, somehow Grojean is one of the finishers.

There has been rumors and subtext over the past few years that there are large systemic management issues at Williams. Is it the board?, is it Claire Williams?, etc. If Williams finds a buyer, there will likely be […]

The way I see it, there are two aspects that needs to be looked into further for virtual grand prix’s: the lack of danger, and lack of physical logistics.

Why bother racing on the same venues as the regular […]

Ocon isn’t much taller than Hulkenberg, so Renault should be used to accommodating taller drivers.

Please don’t conflate the actions of the US government with an American company, who very well may not agree with those actions.

I’m more a fan of removing rules, but convoluting convoluted rules should be F1’s motto.

I think a good tweak to the fastest lap point is that it’s available to anyone (not just the top 10), but only counts towards the constructor’s championship. This way, it wouldn’t affect the WDC, give the teams […]

@kgn11, that’s funny to me, because I find the exact opposite to be true here. I don’t have a horse in this race. As you might expect on this site, there are a few fervent fan commenters for many of the drivers, […]

I’m amazed that among the multi part BBC article, that had a lot of different interesting pieces of info that I hadn’t read before, that this is the headline and article chosen to pull from it.

If all 4 were lured into racing IndyCar next year, then that would be quite the coup for the sport. As an American, I’d certainly make the effort to see them race mire than once a year.

Supposedly the new engine spec has a different layout or dimensions, which requires a change to the chassis. McLaren are apparently done with the 2018 car, and are solely focused on the 2019 car.

Also, he was racing his teammate for a position out of the points, which makes it even more absurd. I remember watching on tv at the time, and it was such a spectacular crash that the clip was shown on sports news […]

@keithcollantine Unless my eyes deceive me; Alonso is missing from the visual gap. Still though, there’s almost a second between Ricciardo and Hulkenberg.

@flatsix Watching the interview, I got the impression that he was joking.

Indeed! Apparently part of their struggles are that they couldn’t do their rear suspension the same way as they had it with the 2017 car and Honda engine. It would be silly to say their rear half of the 2017 […]

Thanks for the COTD! The new updates to the site have been fantastic.

I’m legitimately curious where the balance of driver vs. car design vs. setup lies with Williams.

In thinking about this, I’m reminded […]

Excellent article! So far this season, I’m often wondering ‘how bad is the actual Williams car design vs. how bad is their setup vs. how bad are their drivers?’ When you have two drivers that lack experience with […]

Meh; we’ve been hearing that stuff for years. Many were claiming Raikkonen would ‘completely destroy’ Alonso ahead of 2014, and I even remember many claiming that Massa would make a mockery of Alonso ahead of […]
