Feel free to call me "he" or "him" mate.

All these rules are just a band-aid like DRS and no one is addressing the real problem here, namely that the sport should not use artificial rules to "spice up the show". Why not let the teams decide for themselves which of the 6 compounds and how many of each are brought to every race? The team ca...

Agree. They're unwilling to address the real issues so they just look for band-aid solutions that at best show no improvement or at worst magnify the problem. Teams will just work out the optimum 2-stop strategy for each race (which will end up being the same strategy up & down pit lane), & nothing...

Why would they act differently than the rest of the "powers" around the world ? They know the problems come mainly from the cars (size, aero, etc.) so they'll try anything to avoid to tackle them.

I am happy to say that normal service appears to have been resumed this week. Thanks to anyone who had a hand in resolving whatever issues plagued the forum. Well, it worked for a day by chance when imentioned above, but it will have just been a coincidence. There were still a number of occations o...

Zero points from the last 4 races. A sharp drop off in form from the championship leader.

Must be an Australian thing.

Jezza13

Which extends to cheating repeatedly. I am sure you are referring to the cost cap breach, which was not deemed to have yielded a competitive advantage, but what actual instances of cheating can you name? Stole data, fixed races, bypassed fuel flow-meter... countless instances... Well, except for th...

So what's the deal with Piastri's pace recently? I can't really make sense of it.

As an Australian naturally I want Piastri to win & while , perhaps a tad delusionally (is that a word?), I like to think i'm a pragmatic kind of guy, this is weird.
Very weird.

McLaren won't bring any updates anymore this season (Stella on autosport). They don't even try to stop Verstappen's roll. Title favorite: Verstappen. Agree. I now think this championships is Verstappens to lose. McLaren are handing it to him on a platter. The RB now looks to be the best car & with ...

Agreed, those are the two one off liveries that really stick in my mind. I do think Williams looks better with more white on the car. I think it is just a sign of the times, corporate thinking and maximising profits. Who is really going to remember any of these cars a decade into the future? The Wi...

Schumacher would have been paired up with Hakkinen who I doubt was ever given a 1 year contract, the loser would have been the slower driver DC, also it was just a one off offer not continual year on year looking to make a seat available for him. Russell is on the same level as Leclerc, Piastri and...

Jezza13

I agree with your general sentiment. Why doesn't Williams run a blue and white livery all the time? It looks great! I actually don't mind the Aston Martin one off, but I like their usual livery. I don't know what VCARB are doing. At the start of the season I had their livery as my favorite (though ...

Wow - it's been very quiet here recently, hasn't it? Season become boring for most posters? Others have covered it pretty well but just to throw my two cents in: WCC - previously we've had needle between Horner and Toto that kept things kind of edgy on race weekends. This year, with only McLaren in...

I think McLaren could potentially be tying the noose with which they're going to hang themselves with. If we go back 2 races where, although Piastri was comfortably ahead of Norris all race, Norris, unintentionally, reaped the benefits an alternate pit strategy & although there was ample time to swa...

Jezza13

Norris is just not a smart driver. The only way you lose to Piastri is if he undercuts you, and then he had a slow stop. He had the choice of pitting first and willingly gave that up. Madness. If I were Piastri I wouldn't have given up that place True. The audacity of the team asking the driver to ...

From a few weeks ago

Look on the bright side. Shorter races will allow us time to see more celebrity shots & interviews as well as allowing the teenage girls more time to make Tik Tok videos, because ya know, that's what F1 is all about.

Jezza13

I don't see people complaining about technical collusion. Not now, which surprises me. When Red Bull was dominant however... I repeat why would anyone think that, Red Bull had a dominant car, VCARB had a poor car, the only technical collusion I could think of was in 2020 with the pink Mercedes, Mer...

Jezza13

Which is also very random, I don't recall this being said in particular where we see Red Bull winning tiles while VCARB have had a very poor car. Have your forgotten when the cost cap came in? I don't see people complaining about technical collusion. Not now, which surprises me. When Red Bull was d...

Just a slight tangent here.

Noticed Battle Far hasn't posted for a while (Late May) & we're all familiar with the health issues he was dealing with.

I sincerely hope he's doing ok & is just taking a short break.

That's just poor from Antonelli. Just too eager
F1 shouldn't be a finishing school.

F1 has been a finishing school for years. That’s pretty much the purpose of toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri/ Vcarb isn’t it?

Seeing the Racing Bulls car so close to the Red Bull, I thought it is interesting to see nobody claims that the second team is working for the first anymore.

Do you think Hadjar would’ve been allowed to challenge Verstappen for the podium if he could get close enough?

Jezza13

While picking Bottas & Perez makes sense for Cadillac, I do have admit, on a personal level, I was very much enjoying not hearing or reading about "Checo" 100 times a weekend. Not the guy mind you, although i've never really be a fan of his, just the name.

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Palmer was right. Tsunoda really should have stayed put at his previous team. Just look at Lawson so easily seeming to out perform him.

I'm not sure they get a choice do they?

Red Bull's motorsport advisor Dr. Helmut Marko also commented on Horner's departure on Sky Sport : "Oliver Mintzlaff made the decision.

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, but I reckon there's one major, no, huge, advantage RB have over almost every other team & the biggest clue, well, there's 2 actually, was his recent Nürburgring run.
