@petebaldwin – He has good support around him. I read that his wife bought him a present while he was in hospital recovering from the major surgery after his big accident. She bought him a car, of course. Now […]

@coldfly – I fancy it was a bear…

@mashiat – we know the Hamilton story well but many do not. Most people in the world haven’t a clue about F1. As a simplified yet inspirational potted history, I guess it has its uses and will continue to be used. […]

My memories of Stevenage are from the mid-1980’s. It was a mixed area but parts were very run down and depressed. I would not have used the word slum (and Hamilton retracted that word immediately) but it was […]

Wow – that quote from Vettel. He’s clearly capable of being a gracious gentleman and brutally honest with himself.
It cannot have been easy to say “… he drove superbly all year and was the better one of us […]

For those interested: Jag i-pace support race.

I plan to buy a electric car myself next year ;)

Seriously @coldfly, when you have had a bit of experience with it, consider writing a short review for us. Really interested.

As a watcher of many forms of motor racing but primarily F1, I think that one of the key strengths of Formula E is that the first half of its season is on free-to-air TV during the F1 off-season. Winner!
For […]

@phylyp – Given the way the rankings are going so far, I’m expecting Hamilton to be somewhere in the top 8. Probably.

Ed – I really hope Sainz and Norris know something special about the 2019 McLaren. Otherwise, they are both on for a guaranteed fail.

@phylyp – I thoroughly enjoyed the Abu Dhabi dicing display. I wondered whether the cameras had just missed similar activity during the year, being glued to the top six most of the time. Then I wondered if […]

@nullapax – re: Vandoorne, that’s how I read it too. Number two in a useless car with useless middle management up against a tough, charismatic magician of a driver in the other car. Career suicide.

@johnmilk – “Vandoorne’s performance was reminiscent of Pirquet Jr’s” – So a move to Formula E sounds like a good idea.

@passingisoverrated – Rear left tyre was at max temperature. Under those conditions, the AI judges that the car performance is severely compromised. Reporting it as a percentage may mean something specific but I […]

Wow. We are grumpy today…

I’m glad I watched the videos and filled in the forms before reading the comments above. You lot would have put me off.

The major problems in my opinion:- Too much detail, […]

@johnmilk – Don’t get me wrong, I have defended Stroll in several discussions in recent weeks. However, I think this whole “Driver X > Driver Y” comparison makes no sense except for team-mates, and then only if […]

@jerejj – But Nico had a WDC to his name and knew that realistically, he wouldn’t ever get a another chance. Oh… Kimi too. Ooops.

@johnmilk – we’ll have people claiming that Stroll is better than Bottas next…

@keithcollantine – I’ve figured out how Leclerc scores so many points! There is (are?) two of him. One of them dropped out in Q2 but the other one made it to Q3…
