Transformers R US. Road relevance of moveable aero defeats me but I guess thats only a stick thats waved to keep hybrid in F1. Easy way to reduce weight is chuck out the batteries but that wont happen now i […]

Great pic that. One of my bugbears on F1 is the lack of good photography. A still doesnt often afford a good view of speed but it can do and the pan shots are tired and dull now. A car on the edge or over it and a […]

Seems an over complicated plan just to get rid of ‘croftie’

Worth a shot.

Beautifully put together, but the last pretty car was 2006 and obviously 2014 was a catastrophe. Marry that to the sounds of the v10s to todays hybrid noise. Depressing

Agree, apart from its another lost 4 years. I really rate Domenicalli though, hes done it at the sharp end and isn’t, yet, 307 years old like Bernie. The paddock likes him and he seems to get it. SOme fans dont […]

@tflb totally agree. ‘the show’ only really became a thing when , ironically, it wasn’t (as much of a ) show anymore. I always felt treated with disdain by F1 until quite recently. But I also agree with @oconomo, […]

I agree, qually is brilliant and needs to be on a weekend. I love the idea of a sprint race but not at the expense of Saturday qually. Its an experiment so we’ll see but id like a Friday qually for the sprint […]

its a great thing, and the 5 considerations for those new engines ( from 2025) are :

1. environmental sustainability
2. fully sustainable fuel
3. creating a powerful and emotive sound
3.significant cost […]

Try looking at the stats of pedestrian injuries and deaths from cars vs bikes. Maybe you are getting confused with motorbikers which my wifes profession call ‘donors’

Thats massive, a garagiste turning manufacturer. Not sure how many times its been done but i remember, from my history books, that BRM had all sorts of problems developing their epic but doomed v 16 for its […]

No jeopardy,no diggity.

Those paint lines look very much like deck chair lines. Maybe they could move them about a bit as well. Titanic misunderstanding of the problems of Paul Ricard.

Yes i was thinking the BRG with another line through it for contrast. I thought gold but i’m no designer. The aqua blue works well on the Mercedes. We shall see but if i was starting a team id tell the graphic […]

Fascinating piece. Its one area of F1 its easy to get exasperated about but should be easy to fix. If you look at the great designs, almost all were pre CAD, the West colour schemed McLaren was probably the last […]

You think the Williams design is strong?!

Yep its the beholder alright

Dont you ever go on…

Yes otherwise f2 is gimmick free isn’t it. DRS, engine tokens, grid penalties, degrading tyres. I could go on for about 58 pages. F1 is about as pure as the yellow driven snow. But I agree its worth a shot, it’ll […]

what does ‘English’ mean in the context of your comment?

You seem to know the detail of a contract that isn’t in the public domain? All looks like planet f1 conjecture with some ‘facts’ bolted onto that

‘Try’ being the operative word. To be honest people like him would shout ‘greedy’ if he’d got a 3 year deal and now they do it because he got 1. COldfly and Dean F and others hover round Lewis boards ready to […]

You can say that again and you’re the biggest ‘fan’ by a long shot.

Hes had stronger team mates, at least in qually. There fixed that for you
