Reasons why containment won't work. I work in a warehouse with approx 500 other people, about half of which are Polish or Bulgarian. A member of staff will phone in sick with genuine symptoms of Covid-19 and 3 or 4 other staff members who live in the same house will arrive for work half an hour late...

Doesn't this add quite a major potential issue with regards to reliability. If the system fails how serious will it be for Mercedes?

Kev627

Mercedes have developed a system that allows the driver to change the alignment of the front wheels. By pushing and pulling on the steering wheel the front wheels alternate between standard 'toe-out' setting and a much straighter position. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.tech-insight-have...

LeClerk and Ricciardo at Ferrari in 2021?

Mansell is quite possibly the most overrated F1 driver of all time.

Something I've thought for a long time. Put him in a midfield car and see what happens, oh yeah, Ferrari 1989-1990!

I think he'll still be at Mercedes but driving for an eye watering amount of money!

Improve F1 by getting rid of pit stops and hard tires. The drivers can pit when they want and put on what tires they want but as there is no hard compound running a sigle set for the whole race is not possible. Unless of course the driver stays considerably slower than everybody else! You lost me a...

This is simply speculation on my part, but is it possible that RB are running the same cars but they are designed around Verstappen's driving? Therefore, Gasly and, to a lesser extent, Albon have not been able to extract the max (no pun intended) from it that Verstappen has? I'm sure I read somewhe...

How to fix f1. Other things to improve f1. The floor of the car must be the same dimensions of the car. Not a floor that overhangs and comes put to give aerodynamic aid. (Basically hamilton shown the area to ellimimate. It's not needed) Could all cars using the same FIA floor be a possible rule?

All this information about tyre deg, other drivers tyre deg, pace etc. A pit board with the gap a couple of other drivers is all that's required.

Ban pit stops under the virtual safety car!

But like the Senna accident in 1994 the death itself wasn't caused by the circuit design. Senna was killed by a piece of the front wheel assembly piercing his visor, Hubert was killed by being hit at very high speed by another car and his car being sliced in half.

What will Vettel's tactics be to try to overhaul the 7 tenths pace difference shown by LeClerc in Quali?

Kev627

Hamilton will not win a race for the rest of the season.
Verstappen will win WDC.
LeClerc will beat Vettel at three quarters of remaining races.
And along with MistaVega23 I think (hope) Williams will finish in the points!

Kev627

How will Albon's first race at Red Bull go? How do people think he will fare against his much more experienced team mate?

Kev627

If the DRS on a car fails during qualifying are the team able to get it fixed before the race or does the car have to start without it?

Almost got 4th and was generally closer to the top 3 teams than the rest of the midfield (who were otherwise really tightly bunched).

I was expecting him to do well here this weekend and he certainly made his mark!

Kev627

Was Austria the top of a slippery slope for Hamilton? Will we see Red Bull and Ferrari topping the podium more regularly now? Will McLaren start to feature more in the top 10, or even possibly top 5?
I think Silverstone might provide some answers!

Kev627

Will Sebastian Vettel be hanging up his helmet when his contract at Ferrari has finished? He clearly no longer enjoys F1 and this does seem to have badly affected his form.

Kev627

Unfortunately Hamilton pole, Bottas 2nd and Hamilton will walk away with the race victory.

Same old....

Can anyone else foresee an engine swap between Mclaren and Williams? That’s my bold prediction, Mclaren will negotiate and get themselves a Merc deal at the expense of Williams What would be in it for Merc?

But isn't this why he was employed to drive alongside Vettel rather than a more experienced driver?

What have we learnt after the Australian Grand Prix that wasn't expected and wasn't thought of in the off season?

Kev627

Who is going to have the first race win of 2019? Will Ferrari or Mercedes be battling for the win or will Red Bull, Haas or even McLaren take the honours?

Kev627

Only races where Renault and Mclaren will finish ahead if RBR have a DNF. It is very unlikely both cars to have DNF. Hopefully the gap between midfield and top team is not huge. Last year Max and Ricciardo starting behind were easily able to clear the pack and midfield did not even put a fight. Red...

I agree with Fiki, ban the radio altogether! All pit car communication is to be done using pit boards.

How much more developing of cars can the teams do between now and the first race?

Kev627

How could the teams develop clutches to increase performance from standardised gearboxes?

How I would like to see the WCC at the end of the season.

1. Ferrari
2. Red Bull
3. McLaren

I know, unlikely but stranger things have happened!

Merecedes looks very regretful in signing Bottas for 2019 with their latest statements. Expecting him to match Hamilton, or the seat is gone. So, he needs to be close to top 5 best ever F1 driver in history to keep his seat. What an insane pressure is that. But isn't that was F1 should be all about...

What about a points system? Failures earn a driver points depending on it's severity and when a driver gets a certain number of points he gets a grid penalty, a higher number of points will then get a second penalty and so on.

According to ESPN McLaren's target is Championship in 5 years! http://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/256 ... rainD_aqsn

Raikkonen winning a couple of races next season with Sauber.

Could this be part of Silly Season 2019?
