So Hamilton gets a drive through penalty for speeding in the pitlane while KMag gets penalised less for breaking the rules 3 times, 3 useless 10 second penalties which he doesn't care about. He was given a black and white warning flag which normally means stop it or next time you get a black flag, ...

Leclerc could have 100% competed with Verstappen into turn 1 at the start of the race but he decided to finish second instead. The respect I have for the grid diminishes almost every race at this point.

I wish drivers raced Verstappen 50% as hard as Magnussen battles everyone for zero points. They might actually win something.

If anyone's to blame there I'd say it's a mixture of Hamilton and Stroll although it was a but of a bizarre incident really where everyone misread what was going on and we ended up with 4 cars trying to take the corner at once.

There was only 17 races in 2020, Hamilton missed one race because of Covid and clearly still not fully recovered when he drove the last race of the season, he was slower than Bottas a driver he had been quicker than all season. He won 11 races out of 21 in a season where Bottas won 4 and comfortabl...

:thumbup: Since driver salaries are outside the budget cap, this is where big spenders can throw their money at. Perhaps we now see what Mercedes really thinks of Russell. Shock horror maybe he's not as good as Hamilton after all. Outscored him in year one, got outscored in year 2, schooling him so...

I don't understand why the idea of Hamilton declining is so difficult to stomach for some. He's not an alien. He's subject to ageing just like anybody else and almost all drivers decline as they head into their late 30s let alone 40s. The fact that he can be seen to have declined and yet still be as...

Mercedes didn't have a dominant car in 2019 certainly not against the illegally engined Ferrari, if they had not cheated then Hamilton would have won far more races. In 2020 he won 11 out of the 16 races he competed in, the final race he clearly hadn't fully recovered from Covid. Ratchet that up to...

Happy to hear that from Vowles if true: taking a stand for his own team's independence rather than let them to be bought by Mercedes into firing their driver and dropping a Mercedes rental into the car mid-season.

I wasn't able to watch sprint race qualifying. Was this a case of Norris cracking again when a chance of a great quali result was on the table?

Somewhere in the world Mike Elliot is probably the only guy enjoying watching F1 at the moment.

Your feelings are incorrect. Lewis won Spain in 2021, in part because they had a better strategy than RB, they pitted Lewis for fresh tires late in the race and he caught back up and passed Max. Yep, both teams messed up pitstops in Monza. RB messed up a pitstop in COTA 2022, made Max's job a lot m...

Not that russell was much better today, but this year, Hamilton certainly isn't even looking close to being a top level driver any more. Could quite easily say that half the grid has looked more impressive averaged out than him this season. He sounds so unmotivated on the radio too. He was hundredt...

Not that I think it will matter but: does Antonelli have enough points for the super-license?

Yep. The issue is just age.

Hamilton won 22 races out of 37 race finishes from 2019-2020 despite driving by far the best car in this time period, and having a midfield driver as his teammate. He also had bulletproof reliability and his car never failed in even one qualifying session to compromise his weekend. In these perfect...

I put him 10th. I still don't think there are any outstanding candidates to take that spot.... Perhaps Guy Ligier or Peter Sauber. One of Peter Sauber, Ken Tyrrell, or Paul Stoddart could easily replace Wolff on the list. Wolff literally brought nothing to the sport as team principal. This is proba...

I really disagree with this downtalking of Red Bull. They are doing a sensational job, probably the best overall team performance in F1 history. The fact that a midfield driver like Perez, driving his arguably worst F1 season driving-wise and still winning vice-wdc with some races to spare provides...

Well Autosport/Motorsport are reporting Newey has now handed in his resignation and we could get an announcement as soon as this weekend. They're also suggesting he will have to stay in his role (not on gardening leave) until the start of 2025 at the earliest, which seems like it would be a bit awk...

The point being because Hamilton's teammates were better, in particular in qualifying, Perez was horrendous in qualifying last year but still bagged P2 in the title race yet Verstappen you say should take all the credit for winning the title. Yes, not just for title though, also for the big gap he ...

Bottas is not the same circumstance as Perez who cant even make it out of q1 five times in a row. edit: also in Merc team mates of Lewis are allowed to fight him, in RB ? they even retire Perez or put him in lap deficit to help Max... This always come up but doesnt this make Max even more succesful...

Now since Spa 2022, Verstappen has had a dominant car, and has won a staggering 30/36 races since then.
