I've seen a few on social media suggest that Hamilton should get a penalty for driving a damaged car all the way around the track without going into the pits on the last lap. I would suggest that is a load of utter nonsense. I had to look up which penalty Rosberg got at Zeltweg 2016 for continuing ...

Silly silly Red Bull. I guess that wraps the championship as well. I never understood the rule that says only cars in the points could get a point for fastest lap. And now I hope even F1 will understand the stupidity of some of its spicing up nonsense. Cars pitting out of the points trying for fast...

Every time Hamilton has bad luck, it so rarely seems to actually end up effecting him. In that sence, he is very lucky indeed. It is hardly surprisign that bottas's tyres went earlier if he was following close the whole time. I was thinking about Hamilton's radio call a few years ago (Mexico, I won...

Strange to realize that by going too fast, Hamilton may have ruined the very slim chances of others who don't have a guaranteed place in the next part of qualifying. I don't know which drivers would have been on an attempt when the red flag was shown, but it is something that doesn't make sense to ...

Some drivers really need to learn to drive slower when their car has wrecked tyres. At the speed Giovinassi was going back to the pits, it looked like he was damaging a lot of expensive parts and slowign down could have avoided that. Leclerc did the same during Monaco last year and put himself out ...

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If, when eating it, you find the proof in the pudding, it means Ferrari's caterer was to blame! Shame on him/her/it!

Having watched it now, I can actually say that it re-enforced my view that Senna was definitely up for a DSQ, at least for the push start. First of all, they all say that being push started is a no-no, comparing also other motorsports. They also mention that you have to re-enter the track where you...

The incident is at 1:18:29. But I'm going to watch the whole race again sometime.

Marquez has been declared fit to race in Jerez this weekend, and is planning to ride on saturday to see if his arm can withstand the pressure and fatigue of racing, obviously with the idea to minimize points loss. This will truly be impressive if he can ride around the injury to place in the points...

This is my take as well, but I do take the point on board that they gave him a Mickey Mouse penalty, something that would make anyone angry. But he should have been penalised that day in my view, it is just that they chose the wrong penalty. How apt for an inconsistent penalties thread! Do you mean...

I wouldn't disagree with that. If by Prost being DSQ'd you mean DSQ'd from the championship or at least the very least forced to sit out the final race. In my head I'm in a strange place with the Senna one. I completely agree that it's worse but at the same time I find myself more easily able to em...

Prost shunted Senna off to win a championship before Senna returned the favour. Had Prost been appropriately punished in 89 I doubt Senna would have felt safe to do what he did in 1990. I believe that if you look at the two incidents objectively, you will see the main and crucial difference. 1989 s...

There does seem rather too much of a reluctance on the stewards part to award penalties for dodgy overtaking or dodgy defending when collisions are avoided. Hamilton should really have had a penalty for Monaco 2016, Leclerc for his dangerous defence at Monza, Stroll in Austria, Kvyat's torpedo in C...

Why would Schumacher lose his statistics? He did win those races, he did get all the podiums/poles. The fact that he did that idiotic act and got banned from the WDC doesn't mean that the previous wins should not count towards his statistics. Also, Fisico got his win when two days after the 2003 Br...

If lights going out is a problem, change to green lights coming on within a certain window after the reds are all off. Or did I misunderstand the technical point the TS was making? What difference would that make if you can simply say that the movement wasn't picked up by the sensor. The idea isn't...

That’s embarrassing for them. It's rather troubling that everything is apparently "fixed" by midnight, if I understand Ricciardo's comments correctly. It's not the first time someone points out that fixed results are fixed, yet we have seen decisions reversed or altered afterwards. Having said that...

Stroll pushing Ricciardo off track, then overtaking him off track and then rejoining dangerously no penalty. In fairness, the FIA have now acknowledged that they should have penalised Stroll for that. That’s embarrassing for them. It's rather troubling that everything is apparently "fixed" by midni...

No. What do we know Vettel to be capable of, that is better than what we know Perez to be capable of? Being available is one thing, but how well a driver is going to suit this/next year's car is anybody's guess.

https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/formel-1/red-bull-aerodynamik-problem-gp-ungarn-quali/ I've only seen a sketchy translation but Marko appears to be blaming the chassis now for the lack of performance..... significant if true. He seems to think some part of the chassis lacks rigidity, leading to...

I had to look up what an "AMA" is.

With more than 5,000 posts, I don't think my question would even get read.

The first one seemed more exciting, but that was just because of all the SC periods. The irony was that the best result possible, bearing in mind it was all contrived because of the SCs, was that the potential race winner was shoved off the track. The second seemed a bit duller, but at least it was ...

"What is wrong with HASS?" Leads to turmoil, strife, and sometimes war. For the Haas F1 team - I suspect they are down the same rabbit hole as Ferrari, losing performance on both the car and the engine. Haas is the Dutch word for hare. So at the moment, not really the name to have in the first plac...

I voted Räikkönen, Perez and Stroll, but I agree with just about every vote given. I was a bit surprised by the one for Leclerc, but perhaps that was for his honesty in acknowledging his fault for taking both Ferraris out?

Cutting across Hamilton would indeed have made it Albon's fault, had he done so, and done so before Hamilton hit him. But your point would be clearer if you would care to point out just where he did so. And when. Errrrrr . . . . hitting Hamilton's front wheel was when Albon cut across. There was st...

Come on guys, 100% Hamilton's fault, his front left wheel hit Albon's right rear! The pass was done! It's not a criticism because the faster you are the more belief you have but this is Senna/Schumacher mentality, no one is allowed to pass. You seem to be saying that Hamilton did it on purpose? Not...

. Please quote the rule that says one must get out of the way of another driver who choses to drive across your path for no reason ? Albon could have continued around the outside with no problem, but voluntarily chose to cut across Hamilton (and misjudged it). Then the stewards misjudged the racing...

Albon took a risk Hamilton defended as he should Hamilton was in full control Albon still had room to his left Albon was by his own admission focusing on Bottas Albon accelerated thinking he was fully past Hamilton but he wasn't The issue I take with this defense is that pretty much every point can...

Come on guys, 100% Hamilton's fault, his front left wheel hit Albon's right rear! Or you could say Albons right rear hit Hamiltons front left..... watching it again and again, it's actually the better acceleration of Albon that causes the contact. He accelerates and brings his right rear into Hamil...
