No more an active forumer nor even an inquiring follower of motor racing, but still read the PF1 forum... And one think strikes me when reading about Newey : Why nobody ever thinks about Audi as his possible landing runway ? To answer the question : His talents would be of better use outside of the...

No you expect the other guy who has no right to be there, according to the rules, to back out of it rather than crash, much like Russell did in respect to Verstappen at the same corner in the sprint the day before, I would venture any other driver than Hamilton then he backs out of it but as we see...

He wasn't fully alongside Hamilton at the apex at turn 1, this has been refuted with evidence but yet again months later you want to feed this nonsense, this is what the steward's used to determine that Verstappen had no right to be given the room he wanted at turn 2, amazing to think if given room...

Er... no. Taking a side of an argument does not make one a fan. Also, I don't think that the poster in question has 'always' taken Verstappen's side. I, personally, believe that Verstappen was to blame for that (Brasil '21) incident - but I can (and do) understand, and respect, opposing arguments. ...

why is that even a question? when you are racing you dont yield for someone not having the right for his space to allow him to overtake you. So, you are saying that it is preferable to end your race and that of your opponent, rather than to avoid an accident. No you expect the other guy who has no ...

"The person able to avoid a crash can continue racing, a person who accepts a crash potentially can not." and a person willfully keeping crashing into Lewis should have been black flagged, in Brazil 2022 Jeddah& Monza 2021. .

Thanks for proving you're always siding with Max, in other words you are a fan. let me help you finding it: "“He did not complete the pass in Turn 1 and his excess speed compromised his entry into Turn 2 , at which point he made contact with Hamilton."

Where did you find evidence that Verstappen braked too late? Or that Verstappen was too offline to make the corner? I've just re-read the stewards' decision and I can't find it there. More to the point, I find it odd that the person on the outside of that corner knew there was a car alongside, yet ...

Please tell me exactly where he says that the crash was intentional? The stewards were wrong on their verdict here, as Martin Brundle himself said on commentary. Regardless, a little bit more space for a driver who is clearly alongside wouldn’t hurt. See the top picture in this article: https://www...

He says that he knew that Lewis was not gonna leave him space, yet he didnt back out, so he intentionally crashed. and Mercedes has worst form currently that Red bull had in 2019/20, based on: I view f1 non stop, and I can see. Red Bull was always good for 2nd/3rd in those years, while Mercedes nee...

I'm taking a giant step back to look at the facts and what it means to the thread, "is Hamilton (and his success) ruining Max's legacy?" Fact: Max, Lewis, and Schumacher all had dominant cars and wingman level teammates for multi-year stretches. Fact: None of them dominated to the extent Max has th...

Really? You think there is more to it than simply Newey is leaving? I do, though my reason why is perhaps completely off. I was so astonished by this year's car design, I find it hard to believe he would find it possible to just walk away from the challenges of the 2026 rule change. I was listening...

The stewards saw it otherwise and penalised Max for he collision in Brazil. Which was admittedly intentional from his part. ""I went around the outside and I immediately felt that he was not going to leave any space. So, I went for it. He didn't leave any pace and I knew we were going to get togeth...

Fiki

A very selective comparison, driven by an agenda, then? And you don't see a difference between a young driver in the advent to becoming a superstar and an old driver approaching his 40s who has already won everything? Lost his big chance at victory in Brazil because of a terrible qualifying session...

This is a play by Horner and Newey to get rid of Marco and Verstappen clan. Newey leaves, Vestappens get worried about car development, run to another team. Marco loses his power without Verstappens, retires. Newey come back after a year of sabbatical (sailing around the world/whatever). Horner and...

I grew up on 10-6-4-3-2-1 and would happily go back to that format. When they brought in the 10-8-etc in 2003 I felt it devalued a win, especially during 2005 where Alonso could rely on P2 when Kimi won, whereas had it been the old 10-6 format it would've made it way more interesting. I remember wh...

I wonder what the point of this scheme may be. If the aim of the new points scheme is to have a key to the distribution of the prize money, then surely that can be worked out in whatever way they want?

This was even more extreme/visible in the sprint. Verstappen was defending from Sainz in the first 4 laps or so, then suddenly he got up to speed and by the last few laps he was 1.5 seconds quicker than everyone. It’s clear that the RB20 is deliberately set-up to be as light on the tyres as possibl...

Happy to have gotten pretty close there :) I was much too young to have understand his maestria, but I would love to have seen him and Fangio (and Stewart, and Ickx and pre-accident Lauda, and ... and ... ) in action myself.

Where did I write anything about pit lane and access roads? These are not part of the circuit. In my of my previous posts I made an explicit exception to pit entry and to pit exit and of course access roads are not part of the race track.

Sprint qualy china, the moment rain fell down, Max fell to 4th. He is not the 2nd coming of jesus. Good explanation for that. Look how gentle Red Bull is on it's tyres.

If it was faster to drive across the gras or the gravel you would be right. Clearly that is never going to work. Artificial marking a perfectly good piece of tarmac unavailable for racing is what policing track limits effectively does. Which is completely unnecessary of course, let the drivers driv...

That is exactly the point. Finding the fastest way around a circuit is what drivers are supposed to do. Instead of designing a circuit that allows that, Formula One continues to add circuits that need to be artificially altered to demarcate "the racing line." You couldn't make it up. You mix up cro...
