Re: Female Racing Drivers
Interesting to see this comment from the head of the Ferrari Driver Academy as they have apparently ended their affiliation with the FIA Girl On Track.

Re: Saving F1
The end of cheap motoring is going to be a problem for millions (especially as the cost of housing pushes those on lower incomes further and further from their places of work) of people and I don't see how it's one that can be resolved. You see this as a problem, but I think there's a good argument...

Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?
On top of it all, Hamilton never had a car as dominant as Verstappen has enjoyed the last 2 seasons and seemingly this season as well. I'm sorry, but that's just not true. The only way the current Red Bull is even potentially better than the peak Mercedes years is reliability, but purely from a per...

Re: The 100 Greatest of All Time (Update)
I think when talking about "greatest" rather than "best" success is a factor. It's why I would put Hamilton ahead of Alonso despite the fact that I think Alonso is the better driver for example. What is the sporting value of unchallenged wins? Mind you, we never had the situation where a driver cou...

Re: The 100 Greatest of All Time (Update)
Verstappen beat Hamilton in similar cars despite suffering 3 DNFs in a season while his far more experienced rival only had 1. In other words, he was about 50 points more unlucky and still won in the end. 8) All that in a car in which Bottas outraced Perez 12-4, if my memory serves me right. Versta...

Re: How many times (if any) do you think race ban should have occured since Spa 2012?
Probably,
Vettel, Baku 2018
Verstappen, Jeddah 2021
are the closest.
Technically, Gasly should have received a race ban.

Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?
Verstappen would have won races in a Mercedes in 2022 and 2023 largely because if he's driving for Mercedes then he's not driving for Red Bull. Mercedes drivers finished second to Verstappen 8 times across 2022 and 2023. That's assuming he's going up against Perez as lead driver of Red Bull. If Max...

His race pace was as good as Verstappen, especially in the second half of the race. P.S. - No way he was way slower. But I didn't vote for him as he's expected to be second in the ...
