Re: Ferrari SF70H Unveiled!

On first look (and second and third) I hated this car. And aesthetically I still do not like it. I have my worries that this looks like to much of a departure from what Mercedes Et al are doing. And that worries me. This wouldn't be an issue though if I had faith in ferraris ability to innovate - an...

Re: Liberty Media planning F1 budget cap

I'm conflicted on this. I think the budget cap is a massive red herring. And one of the reasons for watching F1 is the technological innovation and excellence. If the budget cap - should it go through - is not implemented very carefully it will just turn F1 into GP1. I'm not sure I'd watch that A b...

4. Regardless of what you all think... We love this incident. We've waited for it all season.
