Re: New points system
It's a No from me. Not against it in the same way I am Sprints or Fastest Lap points, I just don't really see it will add anything. We have seen how hard the middle of the grid will still fight even when there is no points. I don't think as a spectator you'd see anything different. The incentive asp...

F1A 1.4l 10HP 570kg Wow! I knew it was a weak engine, but that's literal lawnmower territory.

Re: Female Racing Drivers
So with FRECA , WEC (LMGT3) and F1 Academy, Pin certainly has a busy year. As i said before though , not really convinced there's much point in F1A though.

I'm not so sure but a friend is convinced that Ferrari put all their belief in Leclerc, convinced he was there potential Hamilton/Verstappen beater.

Re: The Official Carlos Sainz Jr. Thread
I think it's easy to forget that until the last round of '23 Sainz was on to beat Leclerc but dropped from 4th to 7th or something and behind Charles. I agree with the general thinking that Leclerc can probably post a quicker lap, but over a race, over a season, there isn't much in it.
