Anon, thank you for your explanation – and to @alianora-la-canta and @strontium as well.
You will forgive my jaundiced viewpoint when I say that the slogan sounds like one made up on the spot by one of the […]Timothy Katz commented on the post, 2015 Mexican Grand Prix TV Times 6 years, 9 months ago
Possibly because that would put the races on at prime time viewing slots. Most BBC viewers wouldn’t be interested and would switch over to other channels. Loss of viewing audience is not something the BBC wants.

I’m a bit surprised that COTA are blaming the weather for the lack of fans turning up. Does it mean that tickets were not pre-sold and that the track was dependent on people turning up on the day and paying for […]

Super race. Thoroughly enjoyed it. And I really didn’t think it was going to be that good after the weather problems and delays.

But SOMEONE has to give them an engine?
Why? Almost the entire Red Bull organisation has managed to alienate everyone in F1. So why should ANYONE help them now?
Why?Timothy Katz commented on the post, Hamilton tops times as practice goes ahead in dire weather 6 years, 9 months ago
Sounds more than a bit amateur, doesn’t it? While you were waiting in line, do you think they were deciding whether to close the track completely to spectators?
Timothy Katz commented on the post, Hamilton tops times as practice goes ahead in dire weather 6 years, 9 months ago
“. . . and the circuit operators choosing to keep the gates closed to minimise the risk to spectators . . .” Really? That must be a first.

I think that once he has done with F1 (or vice versa), that Kimi should try Rallycross.

I can see your point. He doesn’t seem to resent being awarded the penalty, so does he hw think it was a fair punishment?

I’m beginning to long for the cataclysmic demise of F1 and all the associated power blocks and egos. Bernie’s posturing and dribbling lunacy, Mateschitz’s self-righteous pique and the FIA’s fiddling while Rome […]

No @girts, you are quite right. It was just me being cynical. I find F1 administration and politics routinely infuriating, venal and wilfully neglectful!

So perhaps it’s the lowest-bidding race that gets excluded. Nice.

That first straight is so long! But I wish that there was just a bit of elevation change somewhere on the track.

@drycrust That’s far too logical and sensible for F1 to accept! It just doesn’t work with Bernie’s view of ‘the show’ needing artificial rain, joker laps and double points races.

Possible. But they still wouldn’t have a 2016 engine deal, would they?

Timothy Katz commented on the post, Expect a Mercedes coronation in Russia – not another Singapore slip-up 6 years, 10 months ago
But even at their worst races of the year so far – Hungary and Singapore – Mercedes netted 12 points on each occasion. I don’t think many people will bet against them clinching the Championship this weekend.

Well maybe, just maybe. Let’s pretend that Mateschitz (sic) does have a tantrum and pulls four cars out of the contest, and possibly the Lotus deal doesn’t quite go ahead, and that MacHonda don’t get themselves […]
