It has to be JV IMO from the era I've been watching, although had I been watching for longer, I'm pretty sure Rosberg sr. and Mario would be up there, only winning because the drivers ahead of them suffered career ending crashes mid-season. JV basically got lucky in every race he won in 1997. One co...

WTF, how was it not blatantly obvious to everyone, including Vesti, that his left front was knackered?! Why would the team just stick fresh tyres on and send him out?

The FIA admit that they accidently gave Vips the wrong penalty in the feature race. As they served the stop go there is nothing they can do to rectify it. https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/xbivd6/ot_a_f2_driver_being_given_the_wrong_penalty_at/ Wouldn’t be an F2 race without some sort of V...

Drugovich is champion, Vips finally has a clear race and wins.

I was watching the WEC today either side of the F1 and holy fiddlesticks, that was some accident. The floor of the car was punched upwards in a way that popped the door off, like the lid if you stamped on a tube of Pringles. Ridiculously, it’s not even the worst sausage curve related accident at Mon...

Real wet and dry mix in the F2 race. How is Vips going to f**k it up this time?

I think George showed he is a great character. You guys sit around and debate everything like he should have considered this and that and what did he think he was going to do and stuff. Reality check: this is in the moment, he probably didn't think about anything other than "wow that's a big accide...

Let me put it this way, if George is leading in Austria with ten laps to go, he’s coming up to lap Zhou and Albon and they have a similar accident right in front of him. Do you think he pulls over and switches the car off? Like heck he does. There is a bit of a difference between leading near the e...

Banana Man

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I’m not particularly impressed with what George said after that accident about stopping to help Zhou. There are two possible scenarios there. 1) His car couldn’t continue anyway and he was just bullsh*tting. 2) He could have driven back to the pits and cost his team a...

When Liz pops her clogs, I hope we just start afresh with a new national anthem. I Vow to Thee my Country or Jerusalem would be far, far better. GSTQ is just such a poor representation of our country. We’re one of the least religious countries in the world, the royal family is massively outdated and...

Looking at the weather radar, the only precipitation around is east of the circuit and moving away.

Surely that’s a DSQ for Ves and Pou, if what they’re saying is true? I switched off after the race, what did I miss? The suspicion was, amongst the commentators, that during the double stack pit stop they have fitted each other’s tyres to their car. There was a message from RC saying it would be in...

Nissany was driving like an absolute plank there. I think we should have a small tyre barrier on the inside, on the approach to turns like that. I’ve been thinking it about turn 1 at Monza for years.

I think the halo may have just saved someone.

Please don't think I was excusing him. In fact I was pointing out the opposite, Baltic expats know their national attitudes are racist. Vips just didn't care. I’m not defending what he said but that doesn’t follow as an argument. Saying that someone grew up around these attitudes, so should therefo...

- that was a great qualifying session - buzzing for Sainz, well done to him - I’m a bit confused by Verstappen’s yellow flag video. He lifts because it looks like there’s a yellow board flashing, but his engineer said it was clear before he got there? Bit confused about that. - Mercedes messed up w...

Decent race this, I’m surprised that at least one car with nothing to lose hasn’t stuck a set of slicks on in the last 5 laps.

The fact his WDC count has been commented here as variously 3-5 speaks volumes. I think I could list how many titles almost every champion has, but Piquet I was convinced had 4. He just isn't remembered for his successes. What I think about when I think of Piquet is the way he went after Mansell's ...

Makes me sad that as a human race we have come so far and achieved so much. but we still have caveman attitde to each other. This has to change and unfortunately I dont have an answer for it.

Did you know the red bits on either side of the Canadian flag are an homage to Stroll and Latifi. True story.

How can you not love him, he’s like Monty Burns is a real person. Maybe he is off to fight for Putin, that’s why he had that gun in his suitcase. Absolute crackpot.

It's clear then that you can use an equivalent 'N' word to racially abuse someone then apologise and it will all be OK. Frankly thats repulsive. The damage is done, the person is injured. Where in law does a person escape with no punishment if they inflict a physical injury! How is that clear? He's...

Chadwick seems to be big on excuses whilst constantly ducking any credible opportunities to prove how good she actually is. When she first won W-Series the prize money was apparently not enough to get her a decent drive in F3. Then she won it again, doubled her prize fund and still no F3 drive. She...

Hitech have announced they’re keeping Vips for the remainder of the season and TBH I applaud them for having the bravery to give him a chance at redemption. There are plenty of sportsmen out there who’ve been caught drink driving, beating their partners, having fights in bars etc. and get to carry o...

The responsibility for what was said begins and ends with Nelson. Neither Max nor anyone at Red Bull is obligated to comment on it. You're correct in that there is no responsibility for Max to. But it's not a great look when your partner's father is out there being racist and you're turning a blind...

Conflicting thoughts on this. On the one hand Nelson has said more than enough rude and offensive stuff in his life to lead me to think it could have been intended maliciously. On the other hand, there’re a lot of conflicting views from South Americans about whether this is intended in the same con...

I think Hauger in 2024 might be the best shout. He’s been a Champ in F3 and F3 and now seems to be improving and delivering results in F2. Still only 19 so could probably do with sticking around another year in lower formula.

Banana Man

What a plank. I assume he will also be dropped by Hitech and was relying on RB for sponsorship.

I wonder if George Russell will get the loudest roar of the weekend again.

I’ve still got a video somewhere from Friday qualifying, sat in one of the Becketts grandstands. Sweating buckets in there but a great atmosphere.

Like I said, it’s Nelson and given his relationship with Max there’s a good chance you’re right. However I don’t know enough about South American language and culture to know exactly how this interview was nuanced.
