Re: How will Russell perform against Bottas?

I want more than anything for Russell to keep his qualifying record intact and that probably means sticking it on pole position. But I think the realistic most likely scenario is Bottas - Verstappen - Russell for both qualifying at the race. Russell is an immense talent but I think he has too much t...

Re: F2 & F3

I also find it interesting that F2 uses VSC wherever possible while F1 throws the Safety Car out for everything. Kind of backs up peoples' suspicions that the race officials know all too well how to use the VSC, but they deliberately put the Safety Car out instead just to shake things up. In F2 the...

Re: Australian TV coverage

So the Channel 10 Highlights package is BBC commentary. I honestly now believe channel 10 representatives of the team that came up with this joint deal were 5 year old children.

And sadly, using foxtel play/go on my 4K TV will result in high definition pixels.

Re: Does anybody have any shares in Williams?

It honestly depends on how much 25% actually equates to. For example if you bought $100 worth of shares then you would have made $25 profit, and if you bought $10,000 worth of shares then you would have made $2,500 profit, the more money you make the less risks you will want to take due to fear of l...

Re: Turbo vs DRS

Given that there will be a fuel limit, I think we can do away with DRS. It requires the drivers to think more when attacking/defending a position, which will provide a good spectacle for us fans. It will also stop cars from being a sitting duck on some tracks when the chasing car gets within 1 second.

I hope that he wins 2 more titles, he is truly deserving of them. Another title or 2 and I would place him at #4 all time ahead of Prost. Countless times he has been able to put his car where it doesn't belong, and caused a massive increase in Spanish interest in F1.

In modern Formula 1 track position is crucial (even with DRS).

And by the time the Ferraris have overtaken the midfield car...
