I haven’t managed to work out who was driving the white car that left the circuit on the right and then not only rejoined without slowing, but also crossed straight over to the racing line on the left. He was the […]

I’m not entirely sure whether the mode is chosen by the team or the engine manufacturer – if it’s the latter then that will surely compromise customer teams

So do you think a boost button will be legal? It would be part of the standard mode in both quali and race and it would be under driver control.

I thought (and I could be wrong) that the gear sets are fixed throughout the season not changed to suit each track

So if we were at Abu Dhabi and Lewis needed the extra 7 points to win the WDC then you still say it’s wrong?
Either you still think it’s wrong – which is ridiculous and not worth arguing about, or you think that […]

Not the Indy500 then – what about Le Mans?

Why apply a constructor’s penalty to a driver failure?

Except by pitting him immediately after Vettel he lost an easy pass – should have been left out for 3 laps or so to allow him to use the full pace of the fully-working Ferrari and he should have comfortably taken […]

If Perez had let Ocon pass, then you agree that Ocon would have got by Ricciardo then there’s no reason why Ocon wouldn’t have been further ahead of Vettel than Ricciardo was – ie a good chance to finish third. […]

I don’t quite get why he incurred the penalty points, but if Kvyat had learnt the rules properly (or TR had their wits about them and informed him) then this would never have happened. Alonso was obvious aware of […]

How about a merger that, like most american sports, has two championships and the best teams get to play off for the ultimate glory. So Indy conference and F1 conference race their seasons more or less as normal […]

Well that’s all well and good, but it was KMag behind the steering wheel when he drove it into the kerb so he was clearly at fault. I’m not sure a race penalty is suitable, but this bad driving cries out for some […]

IIRC the valve operations are controlled by pneumatics – maybe it’s something to do with that?

LOL- see what you mean, but a reflection of the near side support I should think

Does anyone know what currency is used for the Silverstone fee. If it is anything other than pounds (or Mexican pesos) then it has had a huge increase in GBP

I wasn’t making excuses for him – just commenting on what I saw. I was intrigued by the way MB had started their drivers on different settings and then optimised (not just at Baku) and was wondering if it was more […]

IIRC Baku practice and qualifying was quite interesting – it seemed that MB were in the habit of starting one car with low downforce and one high downforce setups, and then dialling the cars in to an optimum. […]

Tomas, generally if you can record a program then your technology should allow you to pause/rewind live TV. Just make sure you’re not recording too many other channels at the same time.

*year – doh!

Hopefully next for me Stefano, thanks for your interesting post and even more keen now.
