Velocityboy commented on the post, 'We're miles away, this isn't the right car' says Hamilton after starting season fifth 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Agreed. Hamilton’s comments (Russell and Toto too) sound like they are directed at people within the organization and not us. I’d love to know what’s really going on in the team. As you and others point out, this […]

I’m guessing the replacement car will look quite a bit like the RB.

Perhaps they can do both and keep the chicane in place for slow lap penalties similar to what they do in MotoGP.

Could be a farewell to Mick too.

Whenever Ferrari make one of these mistakes my first thought is “This strategy decision brought to you by AWS”
Velocityboy commented on the post, Whatever triggered it, Verstappen's defiance of his own team makes little sense 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Like everyone else I don’t think this reflects well on Max. But for me this is a test of Horner’s leadership. Vettel ignored his orders and now Max. If Horner is any kind of leader he’d sit Max down, explain that […]
Velocityboy commented on the post, Was Verstappen's penalty for Hamilton collision correct? 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Hamilton left a car widths room. In that corner being on the inside and leaving your opponent a car widths room means that the only way your opponent can get through the corner is to lift and pull in behind. […]

Like most, I think Mick is out. He seems to be a driver who gets better as the seasons go on, which means he willing and able to learn. His people should try to get him in to a team where he can stay in the […]
Velocityboy commented on the post, Is there a 'sprint' format which can satisfy both the purists and the bean-counters? 4 months, 3 weeks ago
For me the solution is to get rid of parc ferme after qualifying and to give the teams more freedom with tire selection. I’ve said this numerous times, lining cars up fastest to slowest and then now allowing the […]

I wouldn’t be on board with it.

If he has the courage to go to a different team, then all one can say is we’ll see. For me, being great at more than one team is one of the things I expect from an all time great.
Velocityboy commented on the post, Red Bull fined $7 million and lose development time for 2021 budget cap breach 5 months ago
I think a lot of people are missing the bigger picture. Once it was established that RBR exceeded the cost cap, the FIA had a choice, make the penalty so severe no team would ever exceed the cap again, or levy a […]
Velocityboy commented on the post, Red Bull fined $7 million and lose development time for 2021 budget cap breach 5 months ago
It may be when the cost cap died, as I’d imagine the other big teams are now deciding whether to adhere to it or not.
Velocityboy commented on the post, Red Bull fined $7 million and lose development time for 2021 budget cap breach 5 months ago
Teams that make parts 3mm out of compliance aren’t necessarily being intentionally dishonest and yet are penalized harshly just the same. That argument doesn’t work in F1. Or at least it didn’t.
Velocityboy commented on the post, Red Bull fined $7 million and lose development time for 2021 budget cap breach 5 months ago
Like many others I find the penalty lenient and pathetic. To try to mitigate the penalty by saying that because RBR didn’t knowingly attempt to violate the rules is disingenuous at best. If a team mistakenly makes […]

it’s pointless (no pun intended) to try to say that a minor infraction could not have had a major impact on the car’s performance. F1 is an intellectual endeavor and as such a small breach in the cost cap could […]
Velocityboy commented on the post, Hamilton "definitely" planning longer stay in F1 after tough 2022 campaign 6 months, 1 week ago
Exactly. He’s making millions per year doing something he loves at one of the best teams in F1. They’d have to drag me away with the proverbial wild horses!

Great for fans, probably sucks for the teams. The teams really need to press to have the calendar put together in a way that minimizes travel time and distance. Coming to the Americas three times makes no sense.
Velocityboy commented on the post, Vote for your 2022 Italian Grand Prix Driver of the Weekend 6 months, 2 weeks ago
I voted for DeVries, but came close to voting for Mick just for his overtake of Latifi into turn 1. We don’t often get to see a proper tire smoking yet controlled overtaking maneuver anymore.
