Just rewatch the race onboard with Lando. I reckon he made more passes outside of DRS than with it. I was sure there was going to be contact at least once!

I never thought I’d see such a cracking race at this track. What a fight we have for this championship. You really have to go back to 2012 for a fight this close between 2 drivers at different teams. A thoroughly […]

I know plenty of casual f1 fans. People who care to know a little bit about results and will tune in when there’s a conveniently timed race. Certainly not obsessive like me so probably wouldn’t care to understand […]

How incredibly convoluted. Here I was thinking this could be solved by building more robust tyres…

Well, comparing Lewis’ performance to Valterri today, I know which driver I’d rather have in my team. I don’t think any driver is flawless, but sure, Lewis makes very few mistakes. Unfortunately for him today, […]

I think if you can, you should restart. The 75% rule seems to apply when the race cannot be restarted due to poor conditions or fading light.

I think forcing the tyre change with red flags was sensible. I didn’t fancy seeing another car lose it at 300+kph… I feel like Lewis’ misfortune on the restart makes up for the lap he regained in Imola…

Well that was a pretty crazy session! The top 5 was covered by less than 5 hundredths of a second at the end of Q2! It’ll be interesting to see if Sergio sees any benefit of running fewer laps on his Q2 set of […]

I thought Mercedes might have been sandbagging yesterday but now they look to be genuinely slow (at least on one lap pace). Hard to make any predictions with any certainty. Looks like qualifying is going to be pretty hectic!

Sure, that’s how the world works. But I think the point is that it needs to change. The attitude of “get tougher” as you put it is why people find it so hard to talk about mental illness. She’s put her hand up […]

I skip it cause I invariably put it in the wall within the first 5 laps of any given session…

Not to mention they’re very long… the challenge that is Monaco is still a cool spectacle but you wouldn’t want to race there every weekend.

I commented a week or two ago that Lewis seems to have stamped out his poor weekends that used to pop up occasionally. I’ll humbly eat my words… but one weekend does not a championship decide! Great to have a […]

This is a tough one. I went with Lando. He is really making Daniel look a little silly now. Snatching a podium and lapping his team mate in the process. Keep it up!

The yellow line is a guide only. He’s not ahead of the white line as Gasly was. No problem at all.

I disagree with COTD. Getting a good banker lap in is vital to cover off this sort of scenario, especially in Monaco. I don’t think anything should change just because the driver on top crashed. Surely this is […]

At any other track, sure, you’d be a fool to rule him out from 7th on the grid. Monaco is a very big ask though. But stranger things have happened!

He’ll somehow find a way… He’ll probably just stay out until everyone else has pitted and then there’ll be a red flag just after he inherits the lead and then will cruise to the win with fresh tyres after the restart.

I think the time for truly revolutionary cars died a long time ago. Probably not since the Lotus 78 have we seen a real game changer (maybe renault’s success working out turbo engines but they’d already started by […]

Very common in Australia. An awkward and slightly longer filler word while you think of what to say next!
