@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 […]

Very interesting comment. I tend to agree, although I feel like Prost might be included on that list as well.

There’s nothing wrong with him asking the pitwall what they thought. He clearly didn’t know, because he asked if it was OK.

Aside from the space in pits issue, I think it would be fun if teams could run guest drivers in a third car. To minimize teams from using this to their advantage to win the WDC/WCC, guest racers wouldn’t get any […]

If Alonso had gone to RBR or Mercedes rather than Ferrari, it isn’t entirely inconceivable that he’d have 3 or 4 more WDCs; but that still falls short of 7 or more.

Schumacher was great during his time, but […]

It’s on YouTube as well. The uploader has some threads on this in reddit/f1

So…by that logic, nationalism and friendship trumps results?

I can’t take credit for this (saw it elsewhere on the internet), but only once before has Ferrari had a 1-2 finish, and also Alonso sets the fastest lap: Bahrain 2010,

I wish he would have said, ‘bwoah, tough luck’, and undercut Vettel in the pits.

Perhaps overrated; but better than Massa? I think so.

That’s entirely possible if Max leaves RBR to go to Ferrari or Mercedes.

Honestly, if F1 was free to watch online, it would easy to quantify to the sponsors how many viewers there are at any time watching the race. Right now, it’s a murky guess. I guess the question is, ‘what […]

FA: “Oh hi Jacques. For a moment there, I thought you were Mr. Robot.”
or:
FA: “As long as I always go left, I will be all right.”

@fastiesty Oh, that wasn’t lost on me either!

Regarding Crashgate, I’ve always assumed that Alonso had to have known, but I read an interesting theory recently:

The theory was that Fernando had a performance exit clause in his contract with Renault (you […]

Having spent over 35 years in New York, I had always thought about where could a F1 race actually go. One idea was around The World’s Fairground in Flushing Meadows, but it’s too small. Another was to race around […]
