Had this question been asked at the end of Vettel's consecutive run of WDC's the answer would have been different.

Appears that Vettel could master the double diffuser cars and the competition could not.

Seems that the recurring 'argument' in this discussion is the application of White privilege in the racing world.

Schumacher and Hamilton are both the best of their competition eras.

How much has Ferrari's 'cheating' been factored into the equation that benefits Vettel.

Did Ferrari go out and buy the power units from Yugo? All the teams with Ferrari power sucked.

Haven’t they tried banning radio and it didn’t work well? Rosberg got a penalty because they told him what to do to avoid a failure which just seemed daft at Silverstone if I remember correctly. Perhaps they could give it another go, but this time give it more thought beforehand. When there is no r...

Feature Vettel is now being given the Alfa reject parts for his car now that is is known he won't be with Ferrari for 2021.

Hamilton in a Williams would be a stretch.

Bottas in a Merc would not.

Eliminate the Fuel Flow restrictions - they don't permit enough fuel flow to even get the engines to their maximum RPM limit. Rules limit RPM to 15K and fuel flow restrictions are holding them to about 12K. There is already a maximum amount of fuel permitted - that is enough. The engine life require...

Ground effects. Skirts were banned in F1 back in 1982 because of safety fears. The cars and circuits have evolved since to the point where, surely, this should be considered again. Voila - dirty air effect mitigated. Or magnified! Dirty air that won't permit airfoils to create proper downforce will...

Max made a move of no probability and got the result such a move pays.

I think it's something inbetween, they don't expect the drivers to be as quick as Verstappen but 5 tenths is too much, 3 tenths I think they would except? Obviously then in respect to Gasly they're seeing him as a bottom end F1 driver. It's not quali that's the issue so much it's how far he was fal...

Behind Verstappen - all the RB and TR drivers are just the 'bum of the month'.

With it coming from Renault I suspect it is 1000 broken horse power - and the horse has broken down.

I think as long as we have cars producing dirty air behind them, then it is almost necessary. We even see cars with the use of DRS struggling to match the speed of the car in front sometimes. So I will probably say keep it, but only because there is a fundamental problem with these cars And no matt...

Track limits CANNOT be a painted line.

Exceeding track limits must be self policing - a broken wing, a damaged floor, a spin through the grass, impacting a barrier.

If nothing gets broken or damaged and time is gained by the driver - it is not a track limit.

Revolving Stewards only creates wildly different thoughts on the application of the rule and how they are to be applied. The same thing happens in Law. Different courts interpret and apply the same law differently. F1 needs to have the same Stewards at every event - at least, even if they are wrong,...

Single element front and rear wings - ban barge boards and all the other mid-car tabs and vanes.

In the interests of being green - do away with the ICE and install wind turbines! Speeds and noise might decrease a bit.

It is called RACING for GOD's sake.

If it was called 'After you Lewis' it would be a proper call.

McLaren underestimated what is required to be competitive at Indy. A common mistake for first time organizations (nobody currently with McLaren was with the team when they had the cars to beat, back in the 70's).

mmi16

Single element wings - front and rear. Get rid of all the barge board bits and pieces. If we have to have a Halo - it needs to be spec with no aero add on's. Get rid of the fuel flow restrictions to the ICE's. Get rid of the restrictions on the available electrical power use. Get rid of the 3 engine...

Indeed but when F1 is judged to be boring because of the lack of overtaking that's mainly a product of the cars being so much faster than Indycars, Indycars being 14 seconds slower than F1 cars is probably mainly because of the crude aero which conversely allows the car to follow more closer and al...

I too think the fast lap point has been a success, and I'm not sure I would mind even taking it a step forward, like get an extra point for: - pole position - highest top speed - most overtakes - fastest pit stop etc. etc. Since F1 is supposedly a Team activity - shortest cumulative pit time for TE...

Races for paying spectators is a show! F1 in comparison to IndyCar is not putting on much of a show on track. F1 may have the highest tech in the engineering world - but as it gets displayed in a F1 race car what is the show that it puts on? F1 in its present form has all the show of the Macy's Than...

There is not much racing going on in F1. Instead of 1st & 2nd separated by a few tenths of seconds, Bottas had almost a half minute cushion. He could of stopped in the pits and had a brew and still won! There wasn't much going on in the mid-field either. As it is, the best passing takes place in th...

Do away with the fuel flow restrictions before you do anything about refueling!

Keep in mind even with all the money they receive, Ferrari and Mercedes do not make profit from F1 venture in fact they make losses regularly. Only RedBull and some midfield teams do turn profit these days. The top teams are in F1 for completely different reason. Wait, what??!?!??? Ferrari receive ...

Obviously Honda did not produce a top engine but McLaren were clearly at least equal to blame in fact I think they were more to blame, first of all they rushed Honda into F1 before they were really ready, Honda wanted to enter in 2016. They then forced design constraints upon the engine something t...
