Magnussen has now accumulated a total of 10 penalty points. If he gets 2 more penalty points before 9th March 2025, he will face a race ban. What's the odds of that actually happening. There's still plenty of races left, so the chances of him getting 2 more points is high. I don't know what happene...

I wouldn't count any chickens just yet. Red Bull weren't even faster than Ferrari in the race. It looks like a bad race for them as much as the McLaren upgrade working Verstappen made a mistake and damaged his floor, otherwise he would have won. He threw away this victory. Happens. Whether that is ...

Ferrari were not a factor after TD039, that took away any competition. Ferrari prior to TD039 was as fast as Red Bull, which they never were in 2019 relative to Mercedes for more than a few races. Races that Ferrari won and should have won, Bahrain, Baku, Canada, Austria , Spa, Italy, Singapore, Ru...

So happy for Lando. Looks like he made the right decision not going to partner Max. Never understood all the criticism he got for making that call. What he said made a lot of sense to me. Noone is beating Max at RBR. That should be obvious to anyone by now. Mclaren supposedly has a lot more upgrade...

I see the outrage over the safety car picking up the wrong leader has caused the forum to explode. Oh, wait, this is Red Bull at the receiving end, nothing to see here. P.s. Very happy for Norris to break his duck and he probably had the pace today to beat Verstappen on merit. The SC picking up the...

McLaren have gone from basically the worst car in Miami to the best in the space of 12 months..

A couple of myths bust, Lamdo won't win a race, Russell has Hamilton in his back pocket, Russell got destroyed. Bit of a snap judgement this. Well Lando won the race, with Mercedes what has changed, if Hamilton runs behind Russell he catches him up, if he's in front he drives away, first race where...

Keeping tabs on DotD. Given we don't get reliable results on these polls down to 10, we're going to tally the points based on the 90's scoring system for the top 6. If drivers are tied on votes, then whoever was ahead in the classified result wins. 1st - 10 2nd - 6 3rd - 4 4th - 3 5th - 2 6th - 1 C...

I don't see how stroll should have to give that back as he was clearly fully along side. And although the limit is the limit, he was only ever so lightly off - but because of albon pushing him to this location, I don't think stroll should be punished for this. He overtook off track. Pretty standard...

Those McLaren upgrades perhaps give hope for interesting races to come as well. Maybe.

Hamilton, Ocon, Tsunoda.

I think I'm wrong about Norris and verstappen. Verstappen just doesn't have the pace - but noris was very lucky. He was doing a worse job than his team mate until the safety car which was very lucky for him. Was he? Or was he just unlucky with the Perez torpedo into turn 1? It's hard to compare the...

Everyone very even on pace here.

Norris could win it from here.
Dream on, Verstappen will fly past and Norris will not even bother to defend as usual I would wager

Yes, I wasn't thinking that Norris doesn't defend against Verstappen.

He doesn't have a big pace advantage here though.

mikeyg123

The SC has picked up the wrong car. This is a huge cockup.

mikeyg123

All on Sargent that one.

Putting Piastri out right behind Leclerc feels like a mistake from McLaren.

mikeyg123

McLaren had the wrong driver in second. The fully upgraded Norris car is looking good.

well, that is a way to make alonso beat stroll when it was looking unlikely that he would.

Even Alonso gets lucky sometimes I guess.

The bollard was no closer to the racing line than it was when it was still in the spot it was supposed to be.

I was thinking we might have a race on... Then Verstappen decided it was time to start driving quickly.

We were about 6 inches away from a really exciting race there.

Hmm, after watching that intro, the quantity of people being filmed fimming the action looking through their phone screen baffles me. Why bother coming if you are just going to watch it through a tiny phone screen and record some crappy footage that is much worse than what you could be watching at ...

Come on Charles, PLEASE at least try and race Verstappen. If only into turn one. You never know... He might knock his front wing off on you or something.

No the teams don't, but if it eases your mind you are free to believe it. You think like yourself they just use gut feeling. It is probably 90% gut feeling. I'd suggest that the bulk of the knowledge that teams have that we do not is about intangibles like a drivers character and what they are like...

The Magnussen thing seems easy to solve... If you commit the same offence twice without losing whilst maintaining your position the second penalty can be a drive through. Job done. Bring back stop-and-go and drive-through penalties full stop. Job done. I'd support that if you significantly raise th...

I know that a theory goes around here which hypothesises that drivers improve in speed after a few years in the sport. In my view, that theory does not hold up, at least not for the very best drivers. Verstappen was quick from the gate, so were Hamilton, Alonso, Schumacher, etc. The speed is either...

Some members see one thing the teams apparently sometimes see something else, then again they have the data and some members can be shorn of context. We have gone over this before without you providing an adequate answer. Ferrari does not have this goldmine of data on Hamilton, as I am sure you mus...

Well, there is another not implausible alternative of course, that of Hamilton and Russell being on a similar level. Whilst I am not saying that it is necessarily the case, it cannot be discounted completely either. Some posters are trying to have their cake and eat it, it seems. Similar level in q...

Hamilton is not even beating Russell anymore. That is enough evidence of a decline in performance unless one considers an even more unfavourable alternative. The only plausible counterargument to a Hamilton decline (IMO) is the idea that Lewis has lost motivation and mentally checked out of Mercede...
