Jenson's Understeer

Seen a replay of the Spa accident. Horrifyingly similar to the Hubert accident, I hope they don't overreact and butcher Raidillon over this. I hope they do whatever they need to do before another driver ends up seriously hurt or worse. To have an accident that so closely mirrored a fatal crash from...

Fine margins. If he'd been one metre wider at turn one, he'd have won yesterday. Definitely would've had a strong shot at a podium, given he would've been running in/around Ocon and Vettel. There is a video doing the rounds after he'd parked up at the end of the race, and his body language can only...

It's rare that I have the time to post my own votes, which is somewhat ironic, but I actually do today. Hamilton and Vettel - neither took out multiple cars at the start and both finished top three (even if Seb was DQ'ed). Verstappen and Norris - both Red Bulls and McLarens had their races ruined at...

I came up with a theoretical way that Hamilton could have won the race (not possible in practice because the cars would have all broken down) but I was curious if it was a technically legal loophole. Basically, the pitlane doesn't get opened until the entire grid has passed, so if Hamilton had just...

Jenson's Understeer

I had another thought: what would have happened if Lewis had stalled on the grid? I presume that they would have had the safety car drive past Lewis' stricken Mercedes and would have released the field from the pit lane behind it, but I'm going to assume there isn't anything in the regulations to ac...

Don't think this race will have a big impact on any potential decision, it had big consequences but the mistake was tiny in comparison. Agreed, and to expand on that, I don't think any one race (exceptional circumstances notwithstanding) is going to sway it. Mercedes have tonnes of data to make the...

As we head into the summer break I thought I'd do a little bit of a deeper dive into how the TMW scores stand. I'm not going to the ocean bed but I've done a little write up on all ten teams, starting with the most lopsided scores and building up to the relative drama of our closest battles. And for...

Williams is an an interesting ones for the reasons above. It's always interesting to see teams approaches to driver choice in relation to car performance/budget. Now that there isn't the financial pressure, surely Latifi is on borrowed time. He's not bad , but there must be bet better prospects ava...

I believe that Gasly and Latifi have contracts. I think Gasly's contract was only for 2021, but with the very obvious caveat that Red Bull will have the option to extend it into 2022 if they wish. Latifi's contract was reported to be three years, so until the end of 2022. But I think it's safe to s...

I've watched the series since the start (even attended the first Battersea race) and I feel like I'm really falling out of love with it this season.

One trick I feel they really missed: they should've introduced the sprint quali concept in Austria. I don't know if they didn't because they couldn't get the format and regulations agreed, signed off and in place in time, if they didn't feel it would be a good track to try it at, or if they wanted i...

It was less of a procession than I had anticipated it would be, but ultimately I don't think it really added a great deal to the weekend. If anything, from my perspective it took something away as Friday's qualifying meant a lot less.

Putting aside the debate of who was at fault (there is a whole thread for that here ) and opinions on the penalty Lewis received, I wanted to look ahead to the remaining races for the season. There are now just eight points separating the two title rivals. What some (many?) of us had felt was inevit...

The Austrian vote was actually one of the most 'competitive' of the season so far. Obviously the term competitive has to be used loosely as we still saw four drivers (Verstappen, Norris, Gasly and Russell) receive 100% of the votes, while two more (Schumacher and Alonso) received all but one of the ...

As we all know, in the build up to the French GP, Alpine rewarded Ocon's strong start to 2021/finish to 2020 with a new contract, keeping him with the Enstone team until the end of 2024.

Something I've just noticed is that the 3 highest scores by Schumacher Forever #1 were all from his joker races, including that podium from Styria.

Any change for next year's game cannot come soon enough!

Have to admit I was expecting to have done worse than I actually did. Only losing 5 points of the lead isn't too bad, and extending the gap to the rest of the field is a nice little positive.
