Re: Newey Leaving Red Bull
If he stays in F1 i think Ferrari, but could also see him focussing on the boat/sailing racing (whatever that's called) which I think he has a lot of interest in
Also: thank God for that, RB never deserved him. His personality that we see at least is at such odds with the other big wigs there

Re: New points system
Well, I never liked 10-6-4-3-2-1, but rather the one preceding it with 9 points on offer for a win. Yes, less drivers would have scored points, I am not contesting that. But we are now in the situation where teams do no need to strive to get to the top, but happily paddle around the lower end of th...

Hamilton reeling in Piastri now too. If he can finish 8th that's a great result, with a bit of SC luck.

Ok, after viewing the replay, I think that will be a racing incident. Alonso was the main cause of the cars bunching up together. Stroll could have backed off more, but no way woulf he have expected this to happen, so I don't think it is an obvious penalty. Magnussen howerver, it certainly should b...

Re: 2024 Chinese Grand Prix FP & Qualy/Sprint Thread
Good to see Norris finally able to deliver on a wet quali, he usually is dead fast but somehow fails to get a lap on due to track limits or crashing in Spa.
Hamilton showing class is permanent, he has always been one of the GOATs in the wet, and good to see he hasn't lost it

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
Barrichello going into 1996, an aged Brundle joined the team for his last season in F1. Barrichollo whitewashed him at the start of the season, something like 8-0. However, interestingly, the second half of 1996 once Brundles was possibly more comortable, he out qualified Rubens 5-3. He also pretty...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
The relevance lies is that Bottas for all intents and purposes is not an accurate yardstick, this has been clear all along, and we can see that play out at Sauber. That gets countered with excuses as in “Bottas does not really try” or “Bottas is only good in a top car”. That than leads some to give...
