Re: 2024 Junior Series

Tsunoda is more so a Honda driver than Red Bull driver that's not some kind of reveal, that being said what clearly is holding him back at this point is his temperament not his speed. Well, we don’t know that. I am hopeful that Ricciardo makes a discrete exit sooner rather than later and that Lawso...

Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?

I know there was one or two opportunities for Hamilton wins if Mercedes had given him better strategies and he might have won in Brazil if not for the collision with Verstappen, I appreciate that non fans could be somewhat oblivious to Mercedes poor strategies and slow pitstops that have been somew...

Re: 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread

Like I said just laziness, let the sensors do the work regardless of whether they are doing the job properly. Well, it eliminates the human factor.

Your reference to Germany 2019 not being anything to do with strategy is funny, when Merc put Hamilton on dry tyres as it started raining despite him warning them against it and then when he lost his front wing as a result giving him a 90 second pitstop or whatever it was Not only was Verstappen al...

Oh man, how do you come up with such nonsense? Look, I know it is hard seeing Perez where he is, but he is simply up against a vastly superior driver. You see Verstappen winning in a Mercedes?

You can just use both surely. It's a bit ridiculous not to penalise a driver everyone very clearly saw move just because the sensor said he didn't.

first race with new regs

It's hard not to think that the 'Max could go to Mercedes' rumour isn't just another ploy to try and exert pressure on Horner to quit, but if it does actually have some substance and he does have a way out of the contract, it would be astonishing to see him go to Merc. I would also assume that Red ...
