Apologies to the Admin The purpose was to illustrate how Liberty's management of F1 is only driven by money, they do not care at all about the sport. IMO Andretti are being prevented from entering F1 in order to keep control of the "sport" entirely in the hands of the small group of US citizens who ...

Exe, we are discussing something which is factually confirmable, just not in privately owned publicly profitable resources. Concorde carried a maximum of 119,500 litres (31,569 gallons) of fuel and burned about 25,629 litres (6,771 gallons) per hour in the air. A Boing 747-400 carried a maximum of 2...

Too bad that also less than 1% of passengers could afford to fly Concorde even if it still existed... Interesting... What part of my explanation regarding the forced pricing of Concorde & seats by US aircraft manufacturers & airlines on Air France & British Airways did you miss? The operators would...

The entrance of Eddie Jordan into this story is an extremely enjoyable twist.

Indeed

If true and given Eddie's history it would strengthen my concern that Newey's decision making is not necessarily what it used to be

Pin was fastest at 1:59.949, Pulling was 0.07s slower, Bustamente was 0.3s further back.

A wholly expected response to the financial greed of Liberty's share holders allied to the financial greed of just about any US financial investor who doesn't have shares in Liberty. This whole episode, from both sides, is nothing whatsoever to do with sport, it's entirely about $$$ for them all. Ab...

Ferrari As I've mentioned before they already have an extraordinary track record of recruiting employees for the F1 team when those employees are past their best. At 39 Hamilton is already demonstrably past his sell by date and will be past 40 next year. Newey is an old age pensioner and has been th...

Day 2 of the FRECA test at Hockenheim saw Doriane Pin (1m36.415, 28th), Marta Garcia (1m36.805, 30th) and Lena Buhler (1m37.488, 32nd). The time gap was just 1s from 3rd fastest Roman Bilinski to 28th Pin, the first two were so much quicker I'd suspect a timing issue. By chance were the 2 fastest d...

GB4's race weekend was affected by inclement weather with race 1 cancelled with the track considered unsafe. Race 2 was won by Joel Granfors who took the lead roughly half way through.

Such a shame that F1 has gone downhill so fast. And it’s not just because it’s always the same winner, the whole way down the grid there was so little happening. F1 needs a major overhaul.

IMO the only overhaul that F1 needs is to lose 'Liberty'

IMO Ferrari are the best team in the history of F1 at choosing good people at the wrong time for the wrong job. Provided Ferrari don't do what Colin Chapman did to Dave Walker (i.e. give Leclerc merde to drive deliberately) Hamilton will be much more embarrassed by his new team mate than his current...

IMO Ocon is unsafe, of those who represent a physical threat to their rivals, only Magnusson exceeds his ability.

Norris - probably his most consistent drive I can remember

Could I suggest 2 awards,

Driver of the Day - Norris

Dork of the Day - Magnusson

The problem for me is Magnusson wins his prize just about every race

I meant that the teams appealed against them, they couldn't obviously stop them. Liberty had the final saying as you mentioned.

F1 does care about image, hence the "bringing the sport into disrepute" True of some FIA & F1 team members. IMO absolutely not true of Liberty.

Would I be overly judgemental by suggesting that Hamilton's presence at Ferrari is unlikely to encourage inappropriate behaviour by the team?

After all Ferrari's history over the past couple of decades is surely littered with risible errors

Yea, 2005 is up there but, for me 1996 is the most emotional.

Palmoski's debut win came after a season of racing in Ginetta sports cars, having said that she dominated and was in control.
