+1 on the bracketing – its useful to say who is in front, but highlight “where the car is” is really not needed.

He does like to make out that a team that has been in the sport for 18 years now, backed by a $30 billion company, with an engine given to them by another $40 billion company, is an underdog. He is such a pantomime villain.

Hungary, Austria, Britain, US all have should have enough points to get into the top 100.

I am 100% sure that if the two drivers swapped positions, VER would have done exactly the same and HAM would have pulled to avoid the collision.

That was one of the most ridiculous accidents by VER, he should have just let him past and lost as little time as possible.

If Max has the faster race car, with the straight line speed of the RB there is not much Merc can do except cover with different strategies (like 2 stopping their second car), or goal hanging for a safety car.

Honestly I don’t see any reason to change. The rules for using the safety car are clear to everyone, and they were followed in this instance. Its a pity when a race finishes under the safety car, but we should be […]

Adding all the transport to the event, yes.
And what I complain about is expanding the fuel use of the car to insinuate that the whole of F1 is “carbon-neutral” – we are not going to solve anything by picking 1% […]

For me the point is the exaggerated claims. It’s clear its almost impossible to understand how many emissions happen because of what we do, and even harder to list the potential pollution from a single event, but […]

For a while I wondered if the rest of the field had taken out the F2 cars by mistake, they were so slow compared to VER.

I think they should be more concerned about losing 2nd in the constructor’s to Merc than beating VER to the driver’s title.

I agree, Ferrari were trying to out strategy too many cars. For example, Russel was on a strategy to beat Ferrari, and that worked, but it let Verstappen by.
But this is good for fans, with six cars in the mix it […]

I think you are right, it probably is one of the worse this season, but was still a good race.
All the hype about Merc being back in the mix didn’t really come true, they were still far behind the pace but […]

That would be very on-brand for the FIA.

He has made a lot of bad career decisions, he must be like that guy we all have at work who is good at his job but so annoying that he generates negative work elsewhere.

History in general hasn’t been kind to the driver who was the only one to get upgrades for a race, who can forget the “not bad for a No. 2 driver” incident.

HAM was typically 0.3-0.4s per lap slower than VER in Canada’s first stint.
In Australia it was 0.6-0.7s per lap.
In both they could more or less run at their pace in that stint.
I would say Red Bull have […]

That’s true, but by then HAM had no incentive to speed up himself, and was probably enjoying the karma.
But HAM shouldn’t really complain about ALO because:
1- If the person in front is going deliberately slow […]

Russel certainly lost a shed load of time defending against VER, which was the right thing to do. But there is no way the Merc is quick enough to win in a normal race, Wolf was certainly having a laugh when he said that.

My guess is that is is 40 million pounds (weight) of asphalt.
But the cabling isn’t that shocking. We have an installation with 400m of cabling for every meter of equipment. Think of all cabling to marshal […]
