Most logical solution: Mercedes sign Verstappen to partner Russell and then loan Antonelli to Alpine for 2026 (and beyond if necessary). Russell/Verstappen is obviously incredibly volatile but there is no justification for dropping George beyond that combustibility, while Antonelli is hands down the...

Wow; I haven't voted (and see little need to frankly), but viewing the results is interesting: the first 8 of 8 teammate "wars" provide exactly zero votes for the second in the pair (even Verstappen - who barely made one corner in the effort over Tsunoda). Wow, this is getting mundane, is it not? G...

A quick turnaround for Silverstone means a quick write up from my side. Half of the field retain a 100% record versus their teammate after the Canada vote, with Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, George Russell, Isack Hajdar and Nico Hulkenberg all continuing their perfect starts. With ten races dow...

I would guess sympathy that a potential Q2 lap was ruined by the red flag in Q1, combined with then moving forwards in the race whilst Colapinto went backwards. Can't say I really subscribe to either argument, particularly not in the race where I believe Franco's loss of position was more down to st...

Voted Hamilton as he was ahead when he sustained damage. Other than that all my picks are self explanatory. Same, mine are all siding with the current leader except Lewis. And to expand on why I voted for him, I felt the two Ferrari drivers both had reasons why you could pick them and mitigating ci...

Spain's TMW results saw, well, much of the same to be honest. It was one of those races where the majority of the vote winners were already ahead, with the only exceptions being Carlos Sainz slightly reducing his deficit to Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly/Oscar Piastri both nudging ahead by breaking the...

Clearly? Is he though? What are you seeing that makes it so clear? I think he's is doing very very slightly better than Lawson managed but it's so marginal I think given more races Lawson would have been the same. Also let's not forget that in F1 terms, Tsunoda is vastly more experienced than Lawso...

Why is Albon getting votes? Didn't he have a bit of a nightmare? Both had terrible weekends but Albon at least nearly dragged the car into Q3 and the front wing damage he got at turn one was not at all his fault. Lawson tried to make a very low percentage move up the inside of Alonso, ran out of sp...

However note this chart is using a running average o...

I think Yuki and Hadjar are both a couple of tenths clear of Lawson, who in my opinion has shown only that he shouldn't be on the grid. I fully expect him to be bounced out by Red Bull next year for Lindblad, maybe even before the end of 2025. At the same time, Yuki is clearly not even close to Max...

At what point do we consider Piastri to be a more complete driver than Norris? Personally I don't think we're there yet but we must be getting damn close. If the trend continues over the next 2-3 races, maybe the conversation needs to be had. Barcelona provided a strong comparison between the two M...

I'm guessing today will see the voting swing more towards Oscar! For the moment I'm still sticking with Max, but again for me it's very much dependent on the flexi wing TD eroding McLaren's advantage. There will still be 2/3 of the season left at that point and if it means Max has a car that is onl...

I'm going to say it again: Alpine (as well as Cadillac and Red Bull, but Alpine feels like the best landing spot) should be falling over themselves to try and sign Palou.

Dunne the new Verstappen. Race director picks the winner by timing of SC. What a mess. How much is this championship worth? Yeah that was borderline criminal.

The Miami results were one of those sets of TMW votes where it was a good day if you were already leading. Indeed, the only driver who went into the Miami vote trailing and came out on top was...
