Actually it's quite the opposite, Gasly is the one who fades away by the end while Kvyat typically finishes strong. The most impressive thing about his comeback is his tire management. His race-craft was always quite strong. This is exactly what Gasly is missing right now and was at the root of his...

this wil be basing it on the first race, where his performance did get worse towards the end. But i thought he was consistent in the last couple of races before this weekend. Qualifying is his weekeness though. But still, if he didn't have great speed and some decent overtakes, he wouldn't have cau...

well as one who constantly defends Grosjean, I can't understand how he gets any votes. Albon was deemed responsible and although I agree magnussen made a mistake, that wasn't the mistake that made him retire. That was poor judgement from albon. After that, Grosjean looked fast, but made mistakes an...

Sergio Perez has returned an ‘inconclusive’ COVID test and is in self-isolation awaiting the result of a retest. Fingers crossed that comes back positive.

Apparently there were other inconclusive results too, but Perez is the only driver.

you mean negative?

Unless it is all based on qualifying again, I'm wondering why Kvyat is being heavily outvoted. On the formation lap, Kvyat made a questioned multiple times if he could box - and the team knew that they couldn't answer. But even with the penalty, if Kvyat had done what he wanted, he would have been ...

Gasly was significantly better than Kvyat the weekend before last. The team boss said Kvyat was a bit too impatient and Kvyat agreed that he was. This was heavily related to his damage due to his manner of driving. He was also some way behind Gasly which mostly the safety car helped close up. Vette...

Only 11 finished last week. I can completely see why Alpha Tauri would leave him out. There is nothing to suggest Kvyat would have been faster without the damage. Absolutely none. Gasly was quicker all the way through qualifying as well. He was really impressive. Again, given he qualified well up o...

While it looks like he thoroughly out performed Gasly, we can't confirm it either way. Basically, he out qualified Kvyat - though was aided by Kvyat being impeded. Then all we saw was Kvyat doing a solid job and Gasly appearing to struggle. We can't Confirm how much the problem will have effected h...

Well, what are you waiting for, go race a kart! Maybe you'll get that seat.

Yep, watching the replay, Ricciardo contacted his right rear just slightly, but to me it just looked to be on the tyre which survived. But the team also have confirmed that it looked to have signs of damage that they need to investigate. However, I still think Kvyat should have more votes than he d...

Analysis of the incident by a racing driver (and driving coach) on YouTube: I agree with his point that the incident was wholly set up on corner entry. Interestingly, he doesn't seem to consider it relevant how much room Albon had on the outside, which I agree with. Albon clearly left Hamilton a ca...

typaH4okc

I tend to think that Hamilton was at fault. He could have avoided the collision. While he probably didn't hit Albon intentionally, he decided to take a risk consequences of which were paid by Albon - should be penalized. I wonder about Bottas Q3 run where he ran wide, where it was kind of a similar ...

typaH4okc

A fair point about Ocon, but I just don't see Albon or Kvyat being much of an improvement. Kvyat is already a known quantity at that level and he didn't match up too well against Ricciardo , as well as making mistakes under pressure. And then Albon hasn't looked any better than Kvyat this year. RBR...

I'm going to put something out there. I think Red Bull should attempt to snap up Norris. I'm assuming bridges are burned with Carlos Sainz and there is a distinct possibility that Max will leave if Red bull fail to provide a championship-capable car by next season. Red Bull's other drivers in their...

They are. You have to look at all the sessions as there's more than one quali session for Le Mans.

thx, not much info on the quali format on their site.

this article is saying that Alex Albon will take the 2nd seat at Toro Rosso - http://autosport.com.ru/f1/53586-neofic ... toro-rosso

It references comments made by Giedo Van Der Garde on TV in Holland.

Kinda weak excuse. Marko seems like a guy who can put noses back in the joint if need be.

I can't understand the logic of hiring Kvyat. They've already established that he's not good enough and the only reason for bringing him back again is that they've run out of young drivers to promote, incidentally much the same reason that Hartley is there. They'd be better off swallowing their pri...

One thing I don't understand is the votes for Serotkin. I bet it is just because he was on the screen for about 20 - 25% of the race. He may have been unlucky at the start, but there isn't really anything he did that was better than Stroll. That pit stop he had at first was a free one. and he could...

Well done Fernando! Although it was effectively a two-horse race he had to drive a big night stint to make up the deficit of a penalty and pulled it off. Gutted for Jenson though - very good drive himself but the car failed him and his team-mates. What did his team-mates do wrong? I think you need ...

Replacing Kvyat with Hartley seemed like a strange decision from the get-go and starting to look like a bad one more and more. Although Hartley isn't that far behind and he should get his chance until the end of the year at least.

Australia and Bahrain qualies were screwy because of the BS sliding knockout timer thing, or whatever you call it, that year which was really stupid and RB screwed Kvyats qualies because they couldn't adjust to it.

He was doing as well as Ricciardo when he was axed. You've gone ahead and bought into the media hype as to why he was axed instead of realizing that the only reason he was "demoted" was because Verstappen was being wined and dined by others and Red bull reacted rather than risk losing their young g...

I think the problem with Max's move is that he completely shut the door on the left after opening it. That is what contrasts it with other similar moves we've seen before.

Is there any chance they're killing two birds with one stone here? - Kyvat is on the brink of a race ban because of penalty points. These will reset at Austin. - Testing Gasly for 2 races means they can further test his ability while ensuring they Kyvat gets time out and can come back fresh with le...
