I wonder if it is the case from last year, Max possibly going away, or RB's bad performance of recent months . It may be a combination of everything I guess. The bits in bold are very likely highly correlated, and the second likely causal to the possibility of the first. Perhaps a shoe dropped rega...

When will Horner sign for Aston Martin? :?: :smug: :nod: It depends on whether Horner's conduct had anything to do with Newey leaving Red Bull, as if it did I can't imagine they would risk upsetting Newey to try and get Horner. And to be honest even if it didn't, do they really need him? Wouldn't s...

So having rewatched the race and focused on the five I hadn't previously decided on, my votes for those are: Norris - Was he the quicker McLaren this weekend? No. Was Oscar unlucky with his penalty? It's debatable. But as soon as I saw it I thought it looked like he would get a penalty, and the data...

I think you can say a lot of things about Leclerc's driving yesterday, but well-executed his overtakes were not. Frustrated moves would be more appropriate. Given your stance on Verstappen's various past manoeuvres where he didn't leave any space and/or not even made the corner itself, I am not sur...

So just on the subject of whether Hadjar should be blamed for the incident with Antonelli, the onboard clip from 1:21 onwards is certainly worth another view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR7NIfAc6v0 Between 1:24 and 1:27 you don't see Antonelli's lights a single time due to the sheer amount of s...

I have to say this is probably one of Leclerc's worst races in years. Starting with the more minor things (but only because of the Williams drivers reactions) I think both of his dive bombs on Albon and Sainz were too much. Neither had the right to open their steering, but had they not, both would ...

I'm going to share my easy votes now and then contemplate a little more on the harder ones. I almost want to rewatch the race as it wasn't the most straightforward to follow, and in some of the less obvious decisions I'd like to better inform myself. But for now: Hamilton - Leclerc's scruffiest race...

We went into the Austria TMW vote with five drivers sporting 100% records against their teammates, and by the time the poll closed that number was reduced down to just three. Both Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson registered their first TMW win of 2025 to leave us with just Charles Leclerc, George R...

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...

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.

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.
