Tim,

I believe there is a typo for the final race results, in that Ferrari should be p , 10; not 6 , 10.

Cheers, Adro783

Yes you're right, sorry. I entered it right in my spreadsheet though, so the points were all correct I think!

If they were a series of punctures why did so many cars complain of vibration, Bottas, Sainz, Norris? Watching the replays the tyres did not look punctured by debris. In that case they would have gone down fast and/or exploded quickly. What happened was a structural failure in the side-walls, which...

It's all about money. As the costs and the technical excellence required of F1 teams rise every year the number of teams able to spend at the highest level is reduced. In the past few years 'the big 3' have had it all their own way as we know. And the momentum generated by the huge investments neede...

To me, drivers wearing masks all the time - even for the post-race interviews conducted out of doors, at a distance - seems absurd. It is hard to hear what they say and I imagine it's really a pain to take off a hot crash helmet and have to put on a mask! I'm sure F1 think they're setting a good exa...

A racing incident, as both Coulthard and Webber called it. Hamilton's penalty was as unjustified as the one in q3 for not easing at a yellow board which he couldn't see for dust and which was immediately followed by 2 green ones. This looks a little like an anti-Lewis campaign by an F1 desperate to ...

I want to know what happened to the more detailed qualifying display: I think it was tried at the start of 2019. As well as sector times it had green/purple lights for even shorter parts of the lap, so you could see who was doing best in real time, even with 3 cars on hot laps together in the final ...

I'm glad to say Team Pick 2020 will go ahead as planned. We start with the Austrian GP on July 5th.

After such a long wait it's going to be a pretty hectic few months of racing. Personally I can't wait.

tim3003

Only thing I wanted to offer up is regarding reversed grids. They divide opinion so strongly but really only because of what we have been used to for so long. Thing to remember is that qualifying as we know it exists only as a solution to a problem - that being that you can't start the cars line ab...

I agree with all the above naysayers. I'd also add: Two one-hour races may seem to equate to one two-hour race but that's like saying two three-set tennis matches equate to a five-set match. The tests of a two-hour GP are driver fitness and stamina; pacing; being able to look after the car and tyres...

There seem to be 2 possible ways of allowing customer cars. Over the long term both seem to me unworkable: 1) Allow top teams to sell their last year's car or plans, so smaller teams can race the car or copy it. This is okay when regulations do not change from one year to the next, but if they do it...

tim3003

Christian Horner has said a way to help teams financially would be to allow customer cars again. (I'm guessing this practice was banned back in the '80s - it was certainly common up until then). So, instead of trying to copy last year's Mercedes, Racing Point could just buy one and run it themselves...

Sad news, but not in the least surprising. I hope the team will be renamed, and not carry on as a shadow of what it once was. As has been mentioned Claire will have to go, and the whole ethos come into the 21st Century. What emerges will have nothing to do with Frank and Patrick's successful past, s...

Running double-header races at Silverstone or A1_ring has been mentioned. But what format should a double-header race take? Is it simply 2 GPs on consecutive weekends at the same track?

Fortunately, it is only your opinion...just as meaningless as mine. However, the bullying as you call it, is BS. F1 has long realized Ferrari's importance to the sport, and has used Ferrari every bit as much as Ferrari has used F1, it has been mutually beneficial to both, and to the other teams in ...

To be fair we only have a thread like this twice a year because Ferrari says it might not need F1 twice a year. Quite: Ferrari is always trying to get its own way by threatening to leave F1.

You need both to be the best overtaker. No point in being overtake beautifully if you can manage in once every 5 years. I agree. In my opinion the best overtaker is the driver who improved his career race results most by his overtaking prowess. So quantity is decisive rather than quality. And it's ...

A lot of champions have built careers on flag to flag wins and getting pole after pole position. It's the up and coming drivers who are the ones recording the overtakes.

It's very very very important to remember that the "infected" number is not "how many people are infected in the country" but "how many people have tested positive for the virus" In most countries it's believed the actual infected number is around 10 to 100 times what the confirmed cases is.

Watching some old F1 races from 1991, I came to France and the first race at Magny Cours. Before the race Mansell reckonned the track would be a nightmare as it was impossible to overtake.

I just watched the Mexico GP 1991: a Williams dominated race, but very odd: Mansell led away from the start, but Patrese soon caught him and pulled a 20+ second lead which Mansell could do nothing about. This continued until the final 20 laps when suddenly Mansell began catching Patrese at a second ...
