Re: Hamilton Vs Teammates

For those with sufficient interest, would it make sense for some interested members to import some various forms of F1 data from a Wikipedia data set (which seems to not exist) or from some other dataset? Or maybe add data to some dataset? A few years ago, I was refreshing on "R" (based on "S"...),...

Re: Hamilton to Ferrari for 2025 Season

It literally isn’t. No. 70 is by no means bad, but behind a host of other car brands. https://interbrand.com/best-global-brands/ This is brand "value" not brand strength which is what I said. I'm talking about the strength of brand. That's about pull, recognition, symbolism etc I'm not arguing Ferr...

Re: Hamilton to Ferrari for 2025 Season

For the third time, it was partly in jest ... I do think that top drivers have big egos and it is not necessarily about absolute pay but about perceived (non)parity. It wouldn't be about Hamilton wanting to win more races and titles, it's in jest but you continue on, like I say it's not to dissimil...

Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?

Just had a thought:

Just shows how far Ricciardo's stock has fallen that nobody is even mentioning him. Surely he's out of contract at the end of 2024.

Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?

I voted Sainz, because that's what I think will happen. Bit boring though. It'd be more interesting though if they went with someone like Antonelli. If he wins F2 (I haven't followed the feeder series lately, so I have no idea if that's likely), he'd need somewhere to go anyway - may as well get his...

So close, hard luck to JN23. 5.5 points must be one of the closest finishes in all of PF1 games.

What possible reason is there for telling paid spectators to leave before sessions held?
The only thing I can think of is that it's staff kicking off at being made to work past 2am - can't have a crowd without the appropriate number of staff.
