Sainz moaning about turn two.... well clearly you're not supposed to drive through the bollards at full speed are you? The whole point of the chicane is to slow you down, but no it has to be changed because you're an idiot!

ALESI

I would really have expected Hamilton to end up higher than 7th, so did the lack of engine settings compromise him? Also wasn't Bottas moaning about it being impossible to race with the engine settings he had? So then perhaps F1 has a decision to make, it appears it is possible to slow down a 'too f...

I don't get why though? Why is it a problem to run wide at Copse, but yesterday there were 3 or 4 corners where every single lap every car was over the white line and it's apparently 'fine'. It used to be the same at Magny Cours, the last corner every single car was over the line before the straigh...

Can somebody please explain to me why they enforce track limits at say Silverstone, but at Spa they can drive as far off the track as they like? It bugs the hell out of me. If they say it's to stop a driver gaining an 'advantage', but its the same for everyone then that makes no sense. So either enf...

What about the younger guys who need help? They can't test anymore, how are they supposed to learn and improve?

If the season really is going to start in July at Austria then Mercedes better start hiring back all the 'self employed' machinists they've let go from Brixworth...

I couldn't really understand why Vettel would have agreed to this strategy anyway... he had effectively got himself in a good position to exploit the tow, so why would he agree?

ALESI

because HE is number two driver he will mover when instructed just like Felipe and all the others did when it comes to supporting a wdc fight he is nowhere and his contract will state this When did you see his contract? How is he supporting Lewis' WDC 'fight' exactly. He's the only one who's anywhe...

ALESI

In past seasons we've seen that kind of thing called out as 'not racing', but it seems to have passed with barely a comment... and Bottas even seems fine with it. Is the guy just accepting that his 'job' is to help Lewis win and presumably beat MSCs WDC record. It just seems odd that with Bottas in ...

So €1,120,570 eh? 2 questions. 1. What does it do that makes it that much better than my $300 Casio G Shock. 2. How the hell did they did they come up with the €1,120,570 price tag? They could've put a €1,120,500 or a €1,120,600 value on it but no, it had to be €1,120,570. 1. That's a dumb argument...

Well, if you asked the people in the fastest cars what would you expect them to say? Wonder what the guys in the Williams' think?

Doesn't say the price, but it will be at least £100,000

ALESI

Heres a thought, a radical one. There does seem that there are some corners that are near impossible to get without at least 2 wheels over the lines, year in, year out, be it merc, ferrari, red bull, Lewis, max, seb.. They all do it.. And have for years, which begs the question. Why is that the tra...

ALESI

Perhaps they should reprofile some corners to make them a lot sharper and then when the drivers cut them they might end up taking the route they should have done in the first place.

ALESI

David Coulthard: Sainz was perfectly within his rights to let his car drift...

David Coulthard: LeClerc will get a penalty for that.

Can't imagine why the disparity.

ALESI

That's the sort of thing I used to roll my eyes at when playing on the original Playstation! Seems like everything the FIA comes up with to stop drivers going off track causes problems... surely the electronic route is the answer, since the drivers (cough VETTEL cough) are hellbent on ignoring track...

ALESI

Would like to see Seb at Mercedes mainly to watch him and Lewis in equal cars. Of course they could also race in equal cars at Ferrari. Would settle a lot of bickering about who is winning just because they have the better car. It really wouldn't... whoever moved to the other's team would be disadv...

Shocker, there hasn't been a wet start since they changed the rules about reforming the grid after the safety car.

It seems slightly odd to have a second race in a country that doesn't have a (popular) driver. Spain and Germany got second races because they had superstar drivers...

I don't foresee sleepless nights in Toto's future. Maybe Bottas's, and definitely Vettel's, but not Toto's...

ALESI

Well now that it is here I guess we shall see. But I still don’t like it. Will it lead to the front runners pushing more at the end of races? I’m not so sure because taking care of the tires and preserving the position is most definitely more important than the 1 point you get for fastest lap. And ...

ALESI

Point for fastest lap is much better than a point for pole. At least a WDC can't be decided before a race starts this way.

Also this will ensure the top teams need to show their genuine pace, if only for one lap.

ALESI

The radio is probably quite important for the 'show'. As it's almost impossible to see the driver these days, it at least gives some connection for the viewer to the human inside the car. When we talk about 'spec' parts, is it the case that the teams are making the parts to a spec or is it that they...

ALESI

Wouldn't they push hard at the start to burn off the fuel and then once they'd got just barely enough to make it to the end of the race they'd start coasting again.

Best idea would be a mandatory fuel refill about 2/3rds of the way through the race!

ALESI

What do gearboxes add to the show?

ALESI

Yeah, I don't trust Horner when he says next year's car will look different, because they never do.

ALESI

I still think we can not compare drivers of the different era, and the hazy lines between them makes it even harder to do so. Then, there is also a period of a driver in his prime and out of his prime. One can thin of many other factors. Also, who can deny that, for example Lecler wasn't driving on...

4:39, so McLaren have decided that racing drivers in 2050 will have big breasts?

Hmm, it's no wonder people get frustrated with a sport when it's almost 'normal' for one team to win for years at a time is it?

At Interlagos Lewis Hamilton was less than a lap from exhaust system failure when the lean mixture sent the temperatures soaring above 1000 degrees F. The team enriched the fuel mapping and Lewis was able to finish and win the race. Then he would have DNF'd, and we'd have one step further towards u...

Pointless making a rule and then changing it... no doubt they'll break the age limit rule and allow a 15 year old wonderkid to race at some point

Well to me there's no doubt that he's extremely talented. His performances post-Monaco have generally been excellent. He's been the match of Hamilton in performance, producing the sort of level which could beat Hamilton should he be in similar machinery. He's been impressive and is consistently dan...
