Re: Budget Cap Breach Rumours
There should be full transparency over how they went over and what they were allowed to write off. I don't see why where they spent the money matters. You have a budget to aim for. You can meet it. You can come under it but under no exceptions should you be allowed to go above it. I don't buy their...

Re: Budget Cap Breach Rumours
I'm seeing some jokes on twitter about Red Bull's breach and food. Can anyone explain? They've allegedly gone over by paying sickness and catering costs... That's the angle they're trying anyway. 2021 is the season that keeps giving a bad taste in the mouth. The 2m they have allegedly gone over by ...

Re: Mercedes Lodge Multiple Protests Against Result
I'm the opposite. I hope they do drag it on and don't care about public optics. It appears they've been wronged by someone who should be an impartial party handling the rules. They made up their own rules on the spot and Mercedes have become direct victims of the actions. I'd fight every inch for th...

Re: Abu Dhabi 2021 - How has it left you feeling?
Gutted and devastated this morning. I thought a night sleep would make me feel better but it's just made me feel a bit bitter. I had given up anu hopes of Lewis winning the WDC this year quite a while ago whilst Max and Red Bull looked too much to beat. Then slowly the points started getting closer ...

Re: Now TV coverage in UK for 2020
I think the one saving grace of NowTV is that you're able to have it on 5 devices so I rarely missed a session the last two seasons as I could have the Friday practice sessions on my iPad whilst it was on my desk at work.

The trick with Now TV is to go through their online cancellation after one month. It will automatically offer you 3 months for £60 (£20 per month). Very familiar with the cancellation dance!

For me Hamilton and the Renault boys. Hamilton drove an exceptional race keeping very close to Charles for the entire duration until he was no longer able to. When Bottas passed Hamilton it was clear to see how good of a job Hamilton was doing as Bottas just wasn't able to hang as close. The Renault...

Re: Albon versus Verstappen
Kvyatt sounds kinda salty to me. It doesn't matter how many laps Albon was stuck behind slower cars. What matters is that he finished ahead of them (all of them). it would have been easy for him to try to do too much in that race but he was extremely composed and professional and, like I mentioned ...

I went for Kvyat, Stroll and Sainz.
Those drivers made no mistakes in the race and had inspired drives and choices made by them. I then after clicking submit vote remembered that Carlos had a moment also so I shouldn't have voted for him
