Hands up if since reading / contributing to this thread, you've changed your mind over who's the best out of MS and LH? Or is it a very interesting thread with lots of good input but let's admit it, we all have our opinion and nothing's going to change it! ;) This isn't a criticism, just what I bel...

So, Marc Marques is officially back and will race next week. Will be very interesting to see how quick he is after 9 months out.

JV stirring the pot with his take on this - as with a broken clock, he's also right sometimes: “Michael and Ayrton have won with cars they didn’t have to win, in complicated situations, without the support of the team. “Lewis, on the other hand, has always dominated with the best means and with int...

This never seems to happen in F1. Just because driver A beat driver B a certain number of years ago and now driver B is beating driver C, it doesn't necessarily mean you can simply rank the drivers. Take your nuance elsewhere! It isn't welcome here! :twisted: In all seriousness, there is definite m...

Nobody ever seems to allow for a drivers current form. In pretty much all other sports, competitors have good and bad years and these are taken into account. This never seems to happen in F1.

I think I started here around 2003 (may have been a little later than that) and was SuffolkBen. I then had technical issues and created a new account some years later.

WHEN, you seem confident that's going to be the case.
Well it's already happened once, in Bahrain.

Do you think the RB is and will probably remain the quickest car this season?

Asphalt_World

I'm legit confused about how people could be confused about Verstappen having a very solid argument for being the best qualifier on the grid. InB4 he claims more pole positions this season than Hamilton has managed in any of his F1 seasons (granted -- he'll have 23 races to do it). Get used to Vers...

Couldn't see a 2021 edition, but please merge if I missed it. Just watched the Moto 3 race and it was won by Pedro Acosta, 16 years old and he started from the pit lane! Simply phenomenal! I am astonished. Only his second ever race in Moto 3. In his debut race he finished second, just has I thought...

Gravel traps or those horrible kerbs will definitely prevent driver from exceeding track limits. Does anyone know how much difference those Hamilton 29laps made ? It's impossible to really know. I have read that he immediately went quicker when he stopped doing it, for what that's worth. Personally...

Asphalt_World

My understanding is that the current smaller wheels were to limit the size of brake components... to limit braking performance. With much larger rims, has there been any rule change to specify brake rotor size, etc.? I can't imagine 7G braking performance with these 18" wheels. I believe there's al...

Asphalt_World

Might be a stupid question but what will the performance difference be? I haven't looked into it yet... I don't know, but I guess the much smaller sidewall means they will be a lot stiffer. I assume the cars will maybe need more suspension travel to cope with hitting kerbs as an awful lot of that i...

I had a domestic during the last 10 laps. What did I miss?

Mazepin restarted his car and won the race.

Asphalt_World

Interesting insights from Tsunoda. Analysed Alonso's driving style during the race, then used his techniques after he passed him into some corners, and found the performance was better for some of those corners. Sponge confirmed. His dad's fave driver was/is Alonso, and likewise he is the driver wh...

RB will be regretting leaving Max out after LH made his first stop.

Asphalt_World

Tsunoda getting 9th is pretty good on your debut.

hehe verstappen would rather have had a 5 second penalty and thought he could make that up had he stayed ahead. Which is incredibly unsporting of him. And Hamilton abusing track limits all race isn't? They were all doing it as they knew they would get away with doing this on laps where passing wasn...

What a race what a win, fair play on Max for wanting to make the fair pass.

That's not what happened.

Asphalt_World

That's the difference between LH and MV. Lewis made one mistake, going wide, and then gathered it all up and race perfectly for the remainder of the race, despite the pressure. Max's driving went all over the place in the closing laps.

Asphalt_World

Sainz is eating into Ricciardo since the final stop. but I don't think he'll catch him.

Asphalt_World

Hamilton's tyres are looking dead.

Asphalt_World

Can anyone explain Seb's comment there? Anyone!

Asphalt_World

Not sure who I want to win this. Max is not a driver I warm to, but I also believe Mercedes will sort their car out and it may become clearly quicker than the RB so Maz getting some early points may help the championship.

So, are they ignoring track limits again?
Yep. Was announced its only being policed in practice/qualifying.

It's pathetic. This is a sport that can DQ a car for having a piece of bodywork 1mm too big, but teams can gain significantly more of a time advantage by not sticking to the circuit.

Asphalt_World

So, are they ignoring track limits again?

Asphalt_World

Is it me, or do the reduced aero cars follow each other a little closer than they have been able to for many years?

Asphalt_World

Can't help but this that is Maz had pitted the lap after Lewis, he would have come out very very close to Lewis and in what we believe to be a slightly faster car, would have soon got passed with DRS help

Asphalt_World

Hamilton has the undercut. Max staying out seems crazy.

Asphalt_World

Pure class from Verstappen on the radio, "there is definitely an issue so you had better ****ing find it" charming! That's why I can't warm to him. A lot of drivers can be a bit ott on the radio, but Maz is often very unpleasant. I bet he'd love the team to tell him to ****ing drive better when he'...

Asphalt_World

Astonishing how the safety cars look right on the limit whilst the F1 cars are warming their tyres up behind. Their performance is astonishing.

Asphalt_World

Honestly, he got the back end lit up once, ignored this and planted his right foot down again and lost it again!

Asphalt_World

Oh, dear. Delay the start.

Asphalt_World

Goodness, I got rather emotional myself at the end of that tribute to Murray. What a man.

Asphalt_World

Didn't take long.
