Im sorry, what is the purpose of the points if not to rank the teams across a season? They clearly are still able to get ranked without scoring points, it devalues the achievement of scoring points and has the feel of participation awards, everyone should be a winner. Uh, actually you can't rank te...

This. It's probably been mentioned here about 8-10,000 times, & in motor racing circles about a couple of million times over the years, but when any driver joins a team, what is their #1 mission? It's to beat their teammate yeah? For all the reasons F1Merc mentioned above, I think joining RB as the...

I think points for all finishers, don't really understand why not it makes it incredibly hard to accurately score the lower midfield - ust going by their best finish when there's not any points is stupid- you can have the worst team absolutely fluke a few points due to DNFs or some stupid situation...

1782864722536112232 This is actually old news he said it at least 2 weeks ago. The wording at the end is strange, his debut would be at Imola because he would have just turned 18, the FIA wouldn't have to authorise it. Previously Saward said Monza which would be when Antonelli would turn 18. Now he...

I'm hearing that the teams pay for every point earned so this enables the FIA to garner more money and this has come from the FIA itself, probably MBS, this follows on from an increase in fines into a system that I believe doesn't publish their yearly accounts since MBS took charge.

In terms of present day Bottas how can he be judged given the car he has had to drive these past 3 years, this year we have comical pitstops and when he has a chance to finish in the points his engine blew up, put him up against the Hulk and I'm not sure who comes out on top.

Shocked Lewis has dropped with some and sainz risen after a few races. Sainz is driving a fast consistent car and lewis/george are driving a fairy cakes car. That explains the relative performances Top of the pile has to be Max. Rosberg sounded like an idiot having him in his top 5 GOAT list tho. L...

Ignoring the fact that Max doesn't need a rear gunner, I just can't understand why Sainz would go to Audi. These are his prime years, unless Audi has a dominant PU then I don't see him winning races or contending for anything for years with that team. Maybe I'm completely off base and they will sur...

Sainz would be incredibly stupid to take the Audi drive over an absolute certain WDC shot in a Red Bull in 2025. If Audi don't get Sainz they'll likely pair 38 year old Hulkenberg with 36 year old Bottas. It's not like the Audi opportunity isn't going to come back around. I believe Ocon is in the r...

Rumour has it that an offer to Sainz has already been made by Red Bull but the money side of it is a bit miserly and Sainz wants more. If Sainz turns down Red Bull because of money then we can't be to sad if he ends up with a midfield future at Audi, at least he will have plenty of money. Wow i can...

It's contract time and it looks like Bottas has upped his level and putting the kind of manners on Zhou he should have been doing all along according to some, however it might already be to late for his F1 future, I guess teams might be wise to that kind of behaviour.

The hardest question to figure out right now is who the second best driver on the grid is. There really is no clear answer.
I think it's probably Norris.

Probably on present form although I hear he's to nice the be world champion.

Not sure what was wrong with Hamilton. He was good in Sprint race but in today's race he was competing in the midfield. Midfield is getting more interesting, Alpine seems to have better pace this weekend. But I think Bottas and Hulk were the best among midfield drivers. Ricciardo has a good record ...

Some spicy comments from Ricciardo - “I slowly started to calm down and then I was told what Lance thinks of the incident,” he stated. “Apparently, I'm an idiot and it was my fault, so that made my blood boil because it's clear as day and it's also behind a safety car. “The only thing you've got to...

That's a decent result I'll take that.

What’s going on here then? It was as good as even last season (with Gasly on a slight edge on points) and most expected Gasly to kick on and beat Ocon this season. But it’s currently 5-0 to Ocon in qualifying (5-1 if you include sprints). Ocon has been the better driver in races too. I think Ocon h...

It wasn't the bad setup that cost him though. He had pace. He just made a mistake. In the statement he said it made the car worse, he also I believed blamed the mistake on the set up, the self harm is painful to watch I would say for Hamilton fans, also as I said before if not for the Ferrari contr...

Frustrating to see Alonso and Hamilton not even try to race Verstappen. Neither of the moves he made on them were gimmies and overtaking was hard today. It's only a sprint at least actually give it a try. I think Hamilton would be just relieved of the points given his season thus far plus a sprint ...

I think they did the right thing reinstating Norris' lap but that being said it's only sprint qualifying so it's no biggie anyway.

I assume Tsunoda has never driven this track before, definitely not in an F1 car. Oh yeah...good point. But it's true also that Ricciardo has gotten a new chassis too. Ricciardo was close to Tsunoda last time out which I thought already debunked the rogue chassis angle, when Ricciardo was beating V...
