So you thought a move to Ferrari would be good for your career too, huh?

“My brief was to make it as confusing as a Ferrari strategy”

I believe Tsunoda is evidence to the fact people mature at different rates. Despite joining the grid at 20 he has probably been the least mature driver to race an F1 car I can remember. This also proves just how […]

I’ll put my hand up to being one of those who voted for Sainz. I have no doubt Leclerc is the faster of the 2 (in fact I think he’s the fastest on the grid especially on Saturdays) but gave the edge to Sainz for 2 […]

1. Will the series hit its target of holding a record 23 races on the 2022 F1 calendar? Yes
2. Will one team find a significant advantage over its rivals and win each of the opening three races? No
3. By the end […]

Kimi try it this way🎵

I know there’s been some doom and gloom about the health of the sport recently so this roundup was a nice reminder of one area where the future is looking bright and that’s the drivers. I can’t remember the last […]

I’d add Norris to the stars. The only difference between him and Ric all weekend was the fact Hamilton had a bad start in the sprint, costing him a slipstream down to turn one. Other than that it could have easily […]

…the stewards observed that car 33 was not at all alongside car 44 until significantly into the entry into turn one. In the opinion of the stewards, this manoeuvre was attempted too late for the driver of car […]

Fears of next year being a spec series are massively overblown. Teams wouldn’t have sacrificed a whole year, or in the case of Haas 2, if they didn’t believe they could make bigger gains in 2022. They also […]

Compare the new car against the ground effect cars of the 70s and 80s and there’s one very noticeable difference. The new car doesn’t have a skirt. Yes we will see a return of the traditional venturi tunnels but […]

I don’t think that there will be a big difference to what we see today.

If that were true teams wouldn’t have written this year and in the case of Haas the last 2 years of car development off to focus on the 2 […]

One thing worth noting was at the first round of pit stops Bottas was closer to Verstappen (2.7s) than Verstappen was to Hamilton (3.1s) and despite closing a lot of ground wasn’t all that close to undercutting […]

I think this nonsense just goes to show what f1 lost when the Williams family departed. Claire would have forcibly reminded Russell and Toto he is a Williams driver, not a Mercedes one, by now. Frank may have even sacked him.

I’m sorry but in my view this comment from Toto is completely out of line. But George should have never launched into this manoeuvre, considering that the track was drying up, it meant taking risks and the other […]

I believe there’s one important difference that looking at the stats doesn’t show (And I’ll readily admit this is my uninformed opinion with no real evidence to back it up) Outside of Turkey Hamilton didn’t appear […]

My issue with the whole sprint races idea is that it wasn’t even thought up to answer the question of how to “improve the show”, its in answer to the question how do we make Saturdays’ more profitable to race […]

What I’m most surprised about is the bargeboards are now white. I thought teams left them carbon fibre black because it help hide the finer details of the geometry from cameras and prying eyes.

1.Verstappen
2.Ricciardo
3.Sainz
4.Perez
5.Norris
6.Leclerc
7.Hamilton
8.Gasly
9.Kimi
10.Russell

And as I said I believe all of those above Hamilton delivered consistently in a tight midfield battle […]

This may be an unpopular opinion but I think his drives from previous years are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here, based on his performances this year I actually had him around 7th. On ability he would still […]
