Hamilton and Verstappen driving equally matched machinery with no assistance or hindrance from race stewards or officials . Fair and equal application of the rules as written . Let the chips fall where they may and the best "Driver " win . Who wouldn't be for this in 2022 ?

Even Hamilton loves the sound of Alonso's V10 as he puts the brakes on mid interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpulR1SJGgM

It apparently made him forget about saving the planet for a little while .

Fernando drove his old ride around the track at Abu Dhabi with cameras rolling and the sound of that V10 is glorious . Actually sounds like a real race car . Video is available on the internet and is worth a watch .

Replace them with gravel and that'll keep them quiet. Too much moral hazard in F1.

Instead of gravel use a layer of coal dust . F1's fear of competitor's cars increasing their
"Carbon footprints " would then make it necessary to forbid cars from crossing over these track limit lines for good .

Why not just allow the smaller teams additional testing at tracks close to their home facility /factory just like they used to do years ago as this would keep their costs down making testing more feasible . Test hours could be allotted based on constructor points and or budget and include F1 approva...

Mercedes Formula 1 team dismissed four staff for diversity breach

Could this be a factor in Mercedes struggles against Ferrari as of late?

So when the gimmicks F1A introduce to supposedly attract fans have negative consequences they go into damage control mode with even more gimmicks . Just let the teams race with whatever engine they prefer turbo , Hybrid , naturally aspirated and let the best design / strategy prevail

kls2020

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the sound coming out of the McLaren cars exhaust is different from the other cars on the grid this year . To me it sounds more like the old V8 engines prior to the hybrid era ?

kls2020

Get rid of the gimmicks introduced supposedly for the fans . Bring back the beast engines without fuel consumption rate or RPM limit requirements. For fans more interested in fuel saving than racing there is Formula E now for you . Return Formula 1 back to what was it was created to be in the begin...

I understand mercs point, because they got the formula nailed for this hybrid formula right from the start.. Then FIA (not thinking straight) locked it down by introducing the token system which limited greater development steps by others to catch up, hence the dominance for the past 5 years.. How ...

Perhaps F1 could set limits on how much gas is allowed to be used just like they do for the cars during a Formula 1 race.

How about they wear yellow thongs (flip flops ) up on the podium and for press events to promote the awesome "Halo " even more .

kls2020

For a person to have depth perception you need both eyes for this to work if one eye is obstructed you lose this ability . At the speeds these drivers travel on track they need to see and react to what they coming up on in a split second to avoid other cars and or hazards . If the Halo obstructs vis...

I was wearing some flip-flops in the backyard last weekend that came equipped with the Halo technology from the manufacturer .

Attendance down at COTA for 2014 ?

1) quieter lower reving V6 engines just aren't as impressive as the V8's were
2) Don't hold an F1 race in America on the same weekend as a NASCAR race

kls2020

let the backmarker teams (Caterham /Marussia) conduct inseason ,ontrack ,testing until their times improve making them competitive with the leading teams . Once they catch up no more testing outside of official practice days

kls2020

still hate the sound of the 2014 cars . to me they sound like a street legal motorcycle instead of a race car . I noticed in all of the NBC promo spots they are still playing the V8 sounds from the old cars instead of upgrading to the new 2014 sound

kls2020

There is no longer any need for tires/tyres that fall apart for racing drama when you have quiet ,overly complicated cars that can suddenly break down instead

there are a few on youtube but prepare to be disappointed . The now obsolete high revving V8's sound much better

No! not a big Pastor "Mauled an auto" fan I guess

traction control of course ! this would explain Webber's incredibly fast starts off the starting grid .

kls2020

the cars could have a special bracket to hold playing cards between the spokes of the wheels so it will generate some noise when it goes by

kls2020

I think the teams in the bottom 25% should be allowed inseason testing to bring their performance up to par . Once this is achieved they are barred from further testing as long as they are competitive

kls2020

I don't believe this is as much Pirelli's fault as the FIA striving to create a moving target for the teams by way of a limited traction lifespan tyre to keep the top teams off balance and add uncertainty about how many pit stops will be required . It hit the breaking point today with the self destr...

Formula E teams will be able to run any tyres they choose but will be required to only run official "E 1 " batteries that will be constantly tweaked by the official battery manufacturer over the season so they won't hold a charge for the whole race . This means an uncertain 2-3-4 stop strategy will ...

i know, that's what i was saying. it's so stupid. but i like the idea of Drivers getting only a few uses of the DRS per-race.[/quote]

Ferrari has been experimenting with this concept using Alonso's car
(DRS that can only be reset utilizing a pit stop )

why not just make all the teams use a specially designed and approved F1 regulated leaking air valve in the tire/tyre stem instead of the self destructing rubber compounds .

Chance of Senna winning the championship that year was very remote . The Williams chassis with the active suspension now banned was very unstable and flat out dangerous .
Senna himself said they were starting from scratch to get the car working again after the original suspension was banned .
