@keithcollantine you’ve missed a golden opportunity to quote your favourite tabloid pun: ‘Diniz in the oven!’

That COTD is scary. For anyone who has watched F1 for 10 years (a big chunk of time in anyone’s life) or less they have only ever known DRS.

Even if you’ve been watching it for 29 years, that’s over half the […]

Where is the other Renault in the 2006 photo? Presumably the pitlane. Fisi got a face full of flames from the back of Button’s car on the last lap so it’s odd to think the polesitter and a pitlane starter had […]

@fer-no65 I’m with you there, it annoys me so much when there is a car park of tarmac at the exit of a hairpin. Turn 1 at Austin I’m looking at you…

Little correction here: the livery on Sato’s car isn’t the one that will be used for the Indy 500. The red and white livery here is the primary sponsor. But the Indy 500 livery will be navy blue and orange.

@f1frog what a refreshing comment. In this day and age, on ‘anonymous’ social media it’s surely almost unheard of to see someone reconsider their original comment/viewpoint and to not to only come to the […]

Thanks @stefmeister that image is exactly what I was looking for. Like you say, it’s essentially reinstated the original hairpin. Good. I mean sure it never promoted overtaking, but the new one barely did either. […]

@jerejj yes I can’t stand that chicane. I wonder if the circuit is accredited for use by the FIA without it (for F1). If so, now is the time to experiment, as we’ve seen with Bahrain Outer and the fast versions of […]

Does anyone know what exactly has happened at Turn 10 at Catalunya? It appears to be a less acute turn now? Any idea why?

Now it’s time for Turn 1 – make it more acute to actually create a braking/overtaking […]

That certainly is an anniversary of note. Such a disappointing end to one of the greatest F1 seasons – well, if you were a fan of Alonso, Webber or Hamilton anyway. For a neutral it would have been astou ding to […]

Once the GP2 season is wrapped up, and if Tsunoda has enough superlicence points) surely it’s worth putting Tsunoda in that seat this year to give him chance to bed in ahead of 2021?

It’s not like the team will […]

I had caught the news that McLaren had pulled out of the scheme so presumed that was the end of it, but missed the news that Aston Martin had picked it up which is great to see.

I believe it’s been running […]

My wife walked dropped in part way through the (Sky) build up of Nurburgring and was not happy with what she saw! (She idolises her ‘golden trio’ as she calls them of Humphries, Coulthard and Jordan.

I said […]

@PaulK what was I thinking, I should have said ‘risen higher up the list’!

The article about the planned Rio circuit is shocking. I know its not new news, but seeing all the facts laid out there has really hit it home.

Why anyone thinks this is a good idea is beyond me. F1 wants to be […]

Heehee, it’s funny because it’s true!

As far as I can see they were totally honest and said it was resource allocation! Their resource (engineers working on F1 in Japan and UK) have been re-allocated to different projects within Honda in Japan. The […]

@jerejj good point! Add McLaren to the high performance brands list, and then Alfa Romeo is a ‘normal’ brand.

@ppzzus I’m with you! And yes, there doesn’t seem like a lot of love on Racefans for ovals, which is to be expected I guess when it is a British/Euro-centric site. I’m British by the way but I clearly remember […]

Agreed, it’s a bit of a worry isn’t it. It seems like the major car brands are starting to be almost embarressed by being associated with F1. So that is Renault slinking away, Mercedes pushing AMG (how long till […]
