Good explanation for that. Look how gentle Red Bull is on it's tyres. Although obviously he isn't literally the second coming of Christ.... As far as I know. I think he's confused between Jesus and Ben Hur. Obviously you are attacking me personally, because I said something about your favourite dri...

That is exactly the point. Finding the fastest way around a circuit is what drivers are supposed to do. Instead of designing a circuit that allows that, Formula One continues to add circuits that need to be artificially altered to demarcate "the racing line." You couldn't make it up. You mix up cro...

Well, I never liked 10-6-4-3-2-1, but rather the one preceding it with 9 points on offer for a win. Yes, less drivers would have scored points, I am not contesting that. But we are now in the situation where teams do no need to strive to get to the top, but happily paddle around the lower end of th...

As an extremely competitive person, there's simply no way that sounds at all appealing to me. First off you have to be given permission to beat Max even if you show yourself to be the faster guy when nothing is wrong with Max. Furthermore, Red Bull have shown in the past they will quickly sacrifice...

If the syatem is going to change, I'd argue for points to all finishers. It would provide a more representative ranking of the teams over the entire season as opposed to a scenrio, possible under the current system, where a back-marker team may leapfrog a number of other teams due to a one-off resul...

It is possible that Sainz is simply seeking to negotiate better terms with Red Bull. Verstappen may well be Red Bull's golden boy at the moment but Vettel was that golden boy until Ricciardo came along and Ricciardo himself looked like becoming the new golden boy until Verstappen entered the fray. I...

I voted Norris, Charles and Lewis. Norris for making the right calls and not allowing Perez to have a proper go because of that. Charles for making the best out of the situation the team was this weekend. Lewis for clawing back against bad form and sub par car setup (I know he was moaning per norma...

In your opinion we could say the same of Hamilton in 2017 and 2018, certainly 2008. The key here is that neither 2008 or 2018 were won against Verstappen. They were won against Massa, Raikkonen and Vettel. Mercedes was the best car in 2017, in my view, so I don’t count that one. Raikkonen finished ...

Stats tell us that Leclerc is faster both in qualifying and the race however WDC points don't always reflect that, Sainz was very close to going 2-1 against Leclerc, a point perhaps relevant to another discussion on the board, however you always have to favour the faster driver and that's Leclerc. ...

Perez is 34 and I don’t think he’s got anything left in him at this stage, there’s a Webber 2013 vibe around Perez at the moment where everyone can feel that he’s on his last legs. Eventually, I think Verstappen will have a teammate like Leclerc, Russell or Norris. But we will have to wait for some...

Anyone can defend anything, and everything is open to interpretation. I can interpret that black is white, no problem. Yes one can and yes it is. But reason does exist. Thank you, and you can not reason for what Masi did was okay. If you havent followed the last few days we have done away with any/...

It should be noted what Perez did to Hamilton this race, it is greatly applauded by many, but wasnt it also interfering with racing ?

The problem is that almost every GOAT contender has at least one serious bullet-hole in their legacy. Schumacher: Jerez 1997, no competitive teammate Senna: Suzuka 1990, probably a ban worthy action. Clark: lost to Moss when he had factory support Hamilton: lost to Button, Rosberg and Russell, none...

Hamilton isn't the first and won't be the last to point the finger (both at others and at himself) when things go wrong. Leclerc has also vented frustration with his team - and not been slow to blame himself (the infamous 'I am an idiot') as well. Hopefully Vasseur will set the theme and where to dr...

I can't see any motivation for Red Bull to take on Hamilton to partner Verstappen. Red Bull's ethos generally seems to be having a good foil for the current big thing or taking on the next big thing. Verastappen is already Red Bull's current big thing and Hamilton is an established big thing - it's...

This is my question mark. Hamilton is great at managing the car but I don't see the same when it comes to dynamic strategy management from the cockpit (unlike, say, Vettel during his time at Ferrari who - on more than one occassion - called the strategy shots). On the other hand, I'd expect Vasseur...

Just added my vote. I’ll go against the grain and predict that Leclerc will be quicker on Saturday and Sunday. Strategy wise neither will have an advantage and Leclerc will probably get favourable pit stops simply because he will be ahead on the track at the end of the first stint. This partnership...

I think it is very unlikely given Verstappen's very high levels of performance. So the accusations of an unfair playing field will continue to the rounds until Verstappen retires. No doubt Perez is a goner after this season ends. Who's your money on for '25? If Red Bull can scoop up any kind of rea...

tootsie323

just like "black" may be interpreted as "white". This kind of argument makes no sense and would not stand infront of a legal court fex. 'Any' and 'all' are not akin to 'black' and 'white.' Replace 'any' with 'none' and you have a genuine comparison. https://www.michbar.org/file/generalinfo/plaineng...

... Do you think partial unlapping is fair or not..?

Not for those who remain lapped.
But fairness is not the key issue. Otherwise, the rules would find a way to avoid safety cars / mid-race stoppages (or whatever else may artificially bunch up the field).

I liked Portimão a lot and would love to see Hockenheim coming back. I also like Istanbul and Aragon Motorland.

Aragon is great for bikes but I fear that it wouldn't be a good spectacle for F1 racing (I'd love to be proven wrong). Agree with the others.

I think that both Piastri and Norris can improve further. Piastri, obviously, having learnt the ropes at the deep end in his first season. But, as has been mentioned above, Norris missed a couple of possible poles with small mistakes in the crunch part of quali. I really hope that McLaren is a genui...

" So - procedure was not followed but it didn't really influence the potential outcome." wrong, if they unlap all cars then Lewis wins.
