Just saw this, v late announcement!

Also Miki Koyama doing Super Formula Lights.

That was an unfortunate start for Gasly. Presumably the car wasn't right after having the nose replaced as he made no progress. Did the team just retire him from the race?

DOLOMITE

For coming out of the blocks with his elbows out, got to be Norris. He looked like someone really out to put a marker down from day 1.

DOLOMITE

Great to see him back, fighty as ever.

DOLOMITE

Not exactly a dream start and a bit sad to see. Not so much the pace, but the incident with Ocon and the immediate "why did he move?". Far from being a new start this was very much a continuation of the Vettel we know from the last couple of years. Hopefully it will get better.

DOLOMITE

That's a good performance from Linscott considering her experience and the times she was running in practice. Hope she is able to raise the funds to complete the season.

DOLOMITE

All very odd regarding Noda. The team has clarified it's nothing to do with race/ethnicity etc but not offered any explanation as to what the reason actually was. Very strange, wonder if the truth will ever emerge.

Qualifying for US F4 round 1 at Road Atlanta saw Chloe Chambers record 13th & Emily Linscott 23rd fastest times in a session that was red flagged allowing just 6 laps at racing speeds. JuJu Noda did not take part in qualifying. Qualifying 1 Noel Leon DEForce 01:28.258 2 James Adler Velocity 01:28.7...

I have just placed my first bet of the season, it seems like good odds to me... Hamilton>Bottas Max> Perez Leclerc > Sainz Vettel > Stroll The odds are, 1/2, I placed £400, could make a £800 profit if it comes in. Im not a big gambler but it just seems like a good "investment"/risk. It is points sc...

I'm going to watch this year if I can find the time, but the grids don't excite me much to be honest. Still a bit of "best of the rest" feeling about them.

I admire those, like Emily Linscott, that don't whinge and just get on with it, she is raising funds to support her US F4 campaign via Indiegogo , I've contributed, anybody else? She has raised sufficient to cover the first four rounds (3 races per round), only two more to complete the season. Yest...

RBR v Merc is interesting. I don't think many people would say Verstappen is BETTER than Hamilton, so presumably it means Perez is considered better than Bottas. Unless people have factored in the team aspect and consider a VER/PER line up more effective overall than a HAM/BOT line up even if HAM an...

So with the motorsport season starting to kick off and I would imagine the majority of seats confirmed here's what I know so far: As one of the main discussion points here is around the prospect of a female F1 driver, these are ranked by superlicense points INDYCAR Simona de Silvestro (Indy 500 only...

Nice article here. I've seen quotes taken and re-used about the Red Bull time, but it's not the focus of the piece so worth a read in full. Very open.

Mods, I couldn't see an Official thread for Gasly, but please merge if there is one.

I have to say I'm almost done with this forum under the current design. The constant resizing due to the advertising space round the board itself is driving me mad. Go to click on a link and the screen resizes and you end up somewhere else.. it's terrible. Bad on a desktop but even worse on a mobile...

I can try and help produce these numbers for you, I'll take a look later in the week and post back here.

Spains Belen Garcia has added Formula Regional by Alpine to her W Series drive this year.

DOLOMITE

Well I changed my mind since I voted (can you change?) and now I get

Mercedes
Ferrari
McLaren
Red Bull
Alpine
Alfa Romeo
Williams
Aston Martin
Alpha Tauri
Haas

but the exercise of rating the drivers then averaging their rankings out to get the teams led me to another thread on intra-team disparity.

DOLOMITE

This follows on from the rate the team driver line-ups thread. To get my answer for that I listed all the drivers out and then simply went to head to head so if the first 4 names were Antonio Giovinazzi Carlos Sainz Charles Leclerc Daniel Ricciardo I just went Giovinazzi vs Sainz = Sainz so Sainz Gi...

I just found it interesting to see the difference in frankness when he was among other pundits. I watched a few of his own podcasts and they had good content but it felt like he was trying too hard. Seems to be that being asked the questions suits him better where he can counter different viewpoints...

DOLOMITE

NH has was always an enigma, and the fact that he still is, is maybe an indication of why he never got that top drive. Just a bit grey. Always good, often excellent but never quite delivered a drive that put him on the top teams shopping lists when they were looking. That combined with the fact that...

Watching this interview respect to him for some really direct responses on how he sees things.

Floersch doing DTM wth Abt! been brewing for a while this one. I think it's great news, I'm keen to see how she does there. I first became aware of Floersch when she drove in Ginetta Juniors, not afraid to get her elbows out she was the class of the field for a while. Having a roof may suit her sty...

General question - do you think anyone would watch this that doesn't already watch F1? I’ve seen various comments on Reddit which start something like ‘new to watching F1 after seeing DTS, how does X work?’ So yeah, it seems that they do. Well that's got to be good, so maybe the informed, hardcore ...

I don't have Netflix. Last year I bought it for 1 mth just to binge on this, but from what I'm reading of S3 I don't think I'll bother this time. With so much happening you don't need creative editing. I don't know why Sky haven't worked harder to put a bit more off season material together. Surely ...

I'm not a gambler, but I like the occasional silly bet, so I have decided to put PF1 to the test. Sky Bet have bets available for team mate battles. Using the TMW prediction threads, I've picked the driver with the most votes, when put into an accumulator it comes out at 18.5/1. So I've stuck the t...

I'm not sure why you would object to prioritising performance analyses over points/results records. The latter is one of the fundamental flaws in F1 as a sport. There is a big difference between a nuanced discussion of driver performance and the mental gymnastic required to support the claim. I see...

I didn't know she was ill. That is sad indeed, she was a real character.

I saw this this morning and am tempted to make the trip if lockdown restrictions allow. It's a great spot and I have friends on the island.

Anyone else placed anything ahead of the season? I've stuck a tenner on Verstappen for the title at 5/1 but that's it so far.

The Ferrari dream team of the early noughties is interesting to me. I don't think they get sufficient credit for the teams success in that period. As capable as Schu was he was, I believe that Todt Brawn and Byrne were equally brilliant in their respective areas. Their combined talents meant every p...
