Mika Salo was one of the judges today and he have now told finnish Ilta-Sanomat that the 0.201 s reaction time wasn't true. In fact, Bottas's car moved 0.003 s before the lights went out but the tolerance is 0.010 s. KingofSpa with regards to that time being set at 0.010 is that 0.010 before the li...

I just can't call it an overtake when cars are driving under different rules at that moment. It's like watching F1 car passing GP2 car. Yes they switch places but who cares? And try to imagine some great fights in the past with DRS. Kimi VS Fisi in Suzuka. Kimi gave pressure to Fisichella who made a...

It seems to me that what a lot of people are missing here is that the reason Bernie and/or Todt refuse to go back is not because the new qualy is a disaster, but because they know what that system will get them and that will be 2 Mercs, 2 Ferraris, 2 Williams, 2 Red Bulls and so on. They don't want...

Let's act as if this morning never happened, and return to what qualifying should be: qualifying. You qualify over an hour on Friday, an hour on Saturday and you get your place on the grid according to your best time. I would love that.

Formula 1 has been open cockpit series for over 60 years. The chance of drivers head being hit by something has been around over 60 years. So it's not like the risk of getting headinjury has recently increased. It's just that the safety hysteria has increased lately.

The proper trophies often still exist, we just don't see them because they're handed out behind closed doors. At Silverstone last year Hamilton was essentially given an advert on the podium and the real trophy afterwards away from prying eyes. Somehow that makes it seem even worse to me! Well I fin...

FIA should just admit that they don't consider F1 as sport but as TV entertainment. I find it absurd to even discuss sprint races instead of qualifying. They created that F1 themed podium, so they obviously want to ride with F1's long and glorious history. And at the same time they want to burn ever...

I fell in love with F1 because of the purity of the sport, something American racing no longer has. This trying to script excitement is wrong, and will never work. It's too easy to see, just watch any NASCAR race, it's not quite WWF (fake/ scripted wrestling) but it's not far off. I did that 15 yea...

How the hell is FIA in a possession that they can decide what helmet the drivers are using. That's their private decision. Absolutely ridiculous once again.

Why are they calling it revolution? Last V10s produced 1000 hp and they didn't have revlimiters or compound limits like they probably would in 2017 and ten years ago the aerodynamics were much more developed than now since FIA wanted to simplify the to make overtaking possible. So we would be roughl...

It really angers me when people suggest that they scrap the podium interviews, it is a completely and totally selfish attitude.

Problem isn't the engine size or aspiration. Problem is that they have rev limiters and the teams aren't allowed to develop them and that teams can't never use their dull potential because they have to save them for the next race. I would say same engine rules as we had 15 years ago but with V6 turb...

You can't calculate overtakes. And it's not FIA's job to say when and where and how you make a pass. That's not racing.

If the point of qualifying is to set a starting order the best system is the one hour Q.
This current isn't bad but it's clearly designed for TV with all drama of dropping in first Q. I want my F1 to be sport and not AMerican Idol.

KingOfSpa

Yes It's nonsense to say that refueling robs us overtakes since nowadays overtakes are either made by DRS or caused by artificial performance gap between tires. For me it's more "natural" for racing to have pit stops because of refueling than having rules that say that you must pit. Besides, it was ...

What I don't understand is the speed limit when the safety car is announced. I mean, what's the point of safety car if they are slowing down already? And if there is debris on turn 1, why they are not allowed to race in turns 2,3,4,5, etc.. until they hit the safety car? Just put double yellows to t...

The best car-driver combination that complies with the rules shouldn't be hampered so that another team whose car isn't as good or driver isn't as good can catch up. I'd rather see Red Bull romp away with it (like 2011) because their car and driver are better overall than the next guy in the next c...

Is there any self respect in F1?

I think that the sport isn't as big as it used to be but the glamour and fuzz are maybe bigger than ever. So in my eyes we have an overhyped racing series instead "pinnacle of motorsport". I can only compare modern F1 to the state it was in rhe turn of the millenium. What we had back then was consta...

Maybe the government of India were correct in labeling Formula One as entertainment instead of a sport. Well, F1 has nowadays lots of rules which aren't so sporty now matter how you look at them...

Well, seeing Mercedes drivers fighting for victory for three laps doesn't make me forget those things in F1 I hate. Would the race have been significally worse if they were no DRS? I don't think so, so why we still have keep it? Would the race have been worse if everyone had got all new tires and ha...

This year's rules say that it is automatic 10 place grid penalty for ubsafe release. So I Don't understand the logic og penalyising twice for same mistake.

But racingwise it's a bad idea since teams have to keep an eye on their consumption all the time and we saw what happened to Ricciardo because of that rule . And I think that all the teams use all 100 kg during the race so what does it matter how fast you burned it on lap 15? Besides, do we all und...

The developments implemented into the current F1 cars hopefully mean the cars we will drive in probably a decade (or half a decade if the car manufacturers are quick about it) are much greener, so we have to fill up the tank less, whilst still maintaining a high level of performance we as drivers l...

If the cars are fast, challenging to drive and the racing is good I'm willing to get used to it. It may be quieter but there at least now there is more variation in sounds.

F1 should just start to live up to its budgets. Teams spend millions and we got tires at can't take 5 laps of racing. And if you put DRS into a GP2 car you would probably see more artificial action with less money.
