Re: So... who replaces Lewis at Mercedes?

Do you remember why and how exactly Lewis found himself in a race winning position at COTA 2022? I am curious. Probably by luck but that wouldn't be a race where I would consider that Mercedes messed up. Would you care to enlighten us as to which specific race(s) you think Lewis would have had an o...

Which year was it that Alonso crashed and was pinned against the fence, he got very lucky that day, in the years before the halo was introduced.
2016 I think - he missed the next race because of it.

Your favourite Australian Grand Prix

The Australian Grand Prix has been an almost ever present on the F1 calendar for nearly 40 years now. From 1985-1995 the race was held in Adelaide and since 1996, the Albert Park street circuit in Melbourne has been host to the race. As it has often hosted the first race of the season, there will be...

Re: How many times (if any) do you think race ban should have occured since Spa 2012?

I seem to remember several on here defending Vettel at the time of the Baku incident with Hamilton (which was 2017 btw). Boggles the mind and for the most part he was excellent in 2017.

He only really started his consistent mistakes/crashing in 2018.

At this point it's abundantly clear how the season is going to go, so sit back and enjoy the ride of 3rd place onwards with gifts from Perez littered in.
I fear Leclerc is too much in the zone for the race for third to be too exciting!

Quite a lot of stories circulating about Marko this evening.

2. That Red Bull have told him not to speak to the media
3. That he’s under investigation over leaks from the Red Bull team
4. That he’s left the paddock for the weekend
