As said in the race thread, it shows how bad Tsunodas weekend was,when his team mates race was over after 20 seconds.... and he is going to lose this vote convincingly. Finishing last of the running cars isn't great. Verstappen would have lapped him at least once had he not been taken out. It's not...

Ah, yes, makes sense, thanks both. I was just thinking about the race, didn't notice it was the quali thread, d'oh

Who thinks Max was extra careful with yellows due to his point troubles, and eventually got him 0 points ? Havent read about this anywhere bit I felt like it was out of character and might make him change his approach in coming races... Sorry, was extra careful with yellows when? He raced for about...

I think it's completely open between Piastri and Norris - and a crash is in the waiting. This could bring a third driver into contention. We need multiple double McLaren DNFs to bring a third driver (Max or George) back into contention after today. Or at least multiple DNFs by each McLaren driver. ...

I'd prefer Portimao and Istanbul over Imola, tbh. But we'll get none of it - instead more and more street tracks without character. I'd sooner have any of them over about half the current calendar. I've always liked the idea of having 3 or 4 rotating slots for classic European tracks like the 3 you...

Wow, Dunne is genuinely quick. I think with Norris and Piastri so close together, there is a very plausible alternative explanation, namely that the car is very quick and perhaps quicker than the results suggest. I'm looking at the gap to Piastri rather than the position on the timing sheets. It's ...

Just got back from seeing it. Oh it's bad. Obviously the footage of the racing is OK, but we can see that for real every other weekend. The dialogue is cringe inducing and the acting awful.

Not looking forward to the battle of the has beens.

Noooo, that's so untrue. Just recently a movie came out (a real life documentary really) with a driver that was called a "has been", in his 60's or so, but he came back and he was amazing, he showed them all!!!

For my part, I have never liked it. Not in football matches, not in tennis matches, not in Formula One. The referee/umpire/Stewards are there to supervise the game and if something is out of bounds, don't mess around and meter out the appropriate penalty. I really love the cricket DRS system, it is...

It's an incredibly easy fix, don't broadcast these types of comments by drivers. The fact that it hasn't been done is due to the second part of your comment . . . it creates drama and spectacle. Sadly in this day and age (and for several decades now) professional sports are about "entertainment" as...

There is literally just ONE (1) poster calling those. Yet, once again, pokers encyclopedia will have it written differently... I think this one is directed at me. Where I think that Russell is crossing a line (metaphorically speaking) is that his action at the Canadian Grand Pix was about forcing a...

Siao7

So you mean, apart from the bit where Russell tried to get Verstappen penalised where did Russell try to get Verstappen penalised? Sorry, I just don't follow these arguments at all. And what do you mean "they went for unsportsmanlike behaviour"? Verstappen has been calling penalties on drivers all ...

For obvious reasons I am not going to watch this movie. I must admit I liked Rush quite a lot, so making a good movie about Formula One is hardly mission impossible. I enjoyed the pun to end the message. ;) I think Rush , and Ford vs. Ferrari , were so good in part because it was based on real even...

It's a movie, purely for entertainment. Much like 007, Mission impossible, Gladiator and so on. Not watching it for the historical/engineering/whatever accuracy.

There's performing worse and there is what's happening with Lawson, Tsunoda and even Perez before them. It's pretty much unheard of for a driver to be as far off in a top car as Lawson, Tsunoda (and Perez before them have been). Bearman was more competitive in his one off cameo for Ferrari with nex...

Right.. what did say about doing a great overtake on the radio and I'll show you another driver doing the exact same thing. Really seems like you just hate russell and regardless of whatever he does you will take issue or have a bad faith interpretation. He could pull someone from a burning buildin...

You actually think that when he was saying "talk to me" he was asking him team to come on he radio and tell him how great he is rather than if he was on pole or not? Clearly. When a driver starts calling out how great his overtake is and does that repeatedly, it demonstrates behaviour. This episode...

Verstappen for all his faults is probably the most consistent driver I've seen at extracting everything out of a car. He's had 4-5 years now with few off weekends in terms of pace and major errors. His off weekends are caused by his psychology and doing stupid things. Whilst you dont know for sure,...

I would have liked to see 10 s penalties for both Russell and Verstappen for playing games behind the SC. And a penalty point on top. That would have sent a signal. 8) Except Verstappen wasn't playing games behind the SC. I don't think either was, if I'm honest. Russell was following the Delta as h...

Russell would be if he wasn't such a weasel. I am pretty sure that is a minority opinion here. Really? I think most people don't like Russell. That's a news flash. What's wrong with George? I would've thought he was generally a well liked driver. People have always gotten really weird about Russell...

Apparently Horner let the F1 authorities know in advance of possible goading towards Verstappen by fellow F1 drivers. So if Verstappen plays around on the edge of rules, it's fine but if other drivers were to even think about it, it's not fine! https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/horner-red-bull-warn...

Just saw the video, it wasn't included in the highlights. It feels a bit naughty by George, however the F1 website only shows the side by side view, I can't tell where they were before the incident and how were they driving.

Drivers close (and open) gaps under all conditions: green, yellow, VSC and - more obviously! - SC and Red Flag. If there is any apparent dangerous, or perhaps even unsportsmanlike, driving it's generally referred and, if so, the stewards either take action or decide that no action is necessary. Wha...

I was just reminded that last year Ferrari won the F1 race and the LeMans at the same day. What are the chances this year??? Would be great to see this again. (If it comes true, I should automatically win the Pick 10 competition Mods, heard it here first!)

I don't know if this is true - Magnussen, for instance? But even if: the events in Spain clearly demonstrate that the penalties were not effective enough to deter black-flag worthy driving by him. He is basicallay on a race-ban probation. Next penalty will cost him a race. I think he is getting big...
