High pressure air jets built into the Halo. Quite literally a windshield. Or a physical windshield, ala Indy. Engineered well, just the velocity of passing air would keep the cockpit and driver quite clean. F1 did used to have windshields.

Of course, gloves could be put to use.

Imo, it goes back to when Audi was dominating the endurance racing. When asked of Audi back then, they maintained they would only be working on one series. Enter now the Porsche hypercar to debut in 2023, it makes some sense to see the Audi marque in F1. Audi is capable of developing entire cars wit...

A bit off topic but the pit and lights gaff I'll always remember is Hamilton missing the red light at pit out Canada 2008, driving over Kimi

Ok, a foot race would be cruel. How about a ping pong match?

Is internal combustion racing doomed to extinction?

Return to single car quali of three laps per entry. The duration of quali would be about the same (20 cars x 3 laps). No one in the way, quickest car and driver sits on the pole. Fewer tires used, less posing and strategy in pit lane traffic. Safety. Expedience. Costs. Alternately The FIA supplies 2...

A lot of really stiff setting going on there but they need to balance that out a bit. A lot of drift and then skating under braking. Speaking of ooopsies, the course workers just don't seem to be quite on the ball.

Petronas running really stiff today, watch those walls.

He had a wee smile after answering that but I'm sure the nuance will be lost and he'll be taken to task for it as if he actually really meant he'd headbutt someone. Also, the question was not "legitimate", it was a lazy, ill thought-out question. "Max, why have you had so many accidents?". If that'...

The only real trouble on many US circuits would be adding garages attached to the pits. Hence, Austin built to suit. A city circuit more easily amended vs the autodrome arenas of Nascar (tri)ovals. Sonoma, Watkins Glen, Sebring and Daytona have all been scoped out for F1 use. Some of the road course...

Proximity transponders to see others abreast shown on the already busy steering wheel display coupled with tones of various frequencies. Shrieks left or right when within a few inches.

I am always a team player and playing the field. I am super happy for Hass this year. I think I'll always have a passion for the prancing stallion team. Sorry for some of the drivers and their rides. I think I'm quite fond of Williams and a crush for Claire and a hat off to Massa for persistence. I ...

And Ferrari hands over Kimi's position to Vettel. What race are you watching? Ocon was in between and Kimi is now the fastest man on the track right now whilst Vettel is being delayed by Ocon. I'll believe Kimi passing Vettel when I see it. It may happen but I'm skeptical. Edit: Kimi is nearly 7 se...

And there you have it, Kimi with a fastest race lap on lap 44.

Whatever, right :p

It seems the Kimi bashing is in full force today, maybe due to all that build up resentment inside from Monaco as in Monaco they were forced to stay quiet. Grow up guys enjoy the race. We know you guys love Kimi deep inside :D :D No kidding! I would drink with the man anytime ;) Has anyone bothered...

Lewis has come a long way baby :-P IbSL8edgC3Y Credit where credit is due. Lewis is still a bit pouty but nine years has made a lot of difference. Hats off for Massa, keepin' on keepin' on.

The halo has as much a chance to deflect the object upwards and away from the driver as it has just as much of a chance of deflecting the object DIRECTLY INTO THE COCKPIT AND INTO THE DRIVERS CHEST. Absolutely true. In instances now, where another car skates over the top; a halo could easily trap t...

Hamilton is certainly no saint and that has stuck with him since his early seasons. He has pulled some incredibly bone head moves over the years. In an interview a day or so ago more or less showing compassion for Kvyat. Hamilton charged a corner where the line was already occupied. Simple as that.

Starter motors, replacing engines. When F1 describes engines as such, there is probably a good reason to.

Aside from that, just a personal niggly fault of my own as it is about a motorsport

The fuuny thing is that some day Formula E could be the major "motorsport" series. An electric "motor" is still a "motor", otherwise they would have to call it "Internalcombustionsport" which just doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Electric motors Internal combustion engines Despite many calli...

If Nico wins the title in Abu Dhabi then he will be a very worth champion. Rules are the rules and they are the same for everybody.
