“Spared no expense”

A minor correction :

“Johann Zarco took his maiden podium in MotoGP at Assen” should be “Johann Zarco took his maiden pole in MotoGP at Assen” ;)

That’s a funny idea to think about !

You could imagine going past the Rascasse until the end of that side of the harbour, using the “Quai Albert 1er”, a nice hairpin at the end with overtaking possibilities, […]

And so my plan is to ask people to vote whether I should Leave or Remain in charge, nothing bad can come out of that, right ?!

Looked a lot like Sebring to me until I took a look to an high res photo and realised it was just a reflection :)

(And there’s the alpinestar logo as well)

From what I’ve read it’s more a problem of visibility than a problem of safety … The combination of it being a rather flat corner + the grandstand in the middle implies that (opposite to any well-designed oval […]

“Look, this is amazing! Some cars are still running!”

What terrible news to wake up at :(

This all looked so harmless when seen in live … I was more concerned with Karam at first, since he had hit rather hard … And then seeing the emergency teams focus on […]

I miss that narrow run to the first corner (and those other parts of the track that have become increasingly large or with excessive run-off, for that matter)
In the 80’s / 90’s / early 2000’s photos you can […]

Damn … Just found out about the “formerF1doc” affair thanks to your post …
That’s just crazy ! I was worried that investigation had not been made with as much transparency and thourougness as required, but […]

It’s quite simple really ! The FIA has introduced a 100% objective classification of the series that they have the most control on … uh, sorry, where the drivers’ talent really shine :)
It would be like Google […]

No wonder grown people don’t believe in father Christmas anymore.. Guess there won’t be much miracles regarding his state from now on.. :(

Awesome ! Who was the last F1 driver to compete in such an important race in another category while still active in F1 ?!

Grosjean being interviewed after the quali by French TV (rough translation from memory) :
“Romain, how hard is it being in your helmet with that sad atmosphere in the paddock those days ?
– Well, it’s even […]

The FIA asking the old Whiting to investigate itself on why it so blatantly failed ? Wow, there will surely be some incredibly harsh conclusions to that report …! It feels a bit like May 1994 all over … “Nope […]

“So that’s what driving fast feels like?!”

Good one ! :)

Since when should drivers be able to gain or lose positions just because an accident happened somewhere on the track ? I don’t think it’s particularly fair … Just imagine a scenario where the then-leader of the […]
