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: Alfa Romeo back to F1?
I've never owned one but I drove my coworker's Black & Red Abarth last year and it REEEEALLY SUCKED and it was just as FUGLY as the regular models.

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...

Re: Massa offered €6 million to race for Williams in 2017

People say Massa hasn't been the same since his accident. But I think he's not been the same since the last major bod...

Re: 2nd Pre-season test at Catalunya, 2016
I think mercedes would be daft not to see how the ultra soft tyres work on their car.

Conclusions from this incident.
1. Nico has lost some support - rightly or wrongly
2. Lewis isn't exactly coming out great in this situation.
3. Mercedes don't know what to do.
4. Regardless of what you all think... We love this incident. We've waited for it all season.
