As we are 12 races into a 24 race calendar year, this is my mid-season ranking: 21. Doohan 20. Colapinto 19. Lawson 18. Stroll 17. Tsunoda 16. Bortoleto 15. Sainz 14. Antonelli 13. Ocon 12. Gasly 11.

Interesting, do tell us about the FIA rules that were changed after Prost's retirement. And about how Prost supposedly cheated his way to a 4th world title. If necessary, start a new thread, because I am really interested to learn about all the things that I never understood. You wouldn't happen to...

Yeah, what Piastri did was unusual and dangerous. Deserved penalty. Shame for him, because it was totally unnecessary, but at least it's a lesson he won't forget. Will this be a standard practice behind a SC that 60psi of brake pressure determines erratic driving or will it only get flagged up if a...

Clearly wasn't normal. And clearly not just Verstappen having problems. Hulkenberg went off. It's obvious that Piastri's actions caught a lot of people off guard. Would that then be the spray that caused the problem of doing what is normal behind a SC when just looking to warm the brakes and tyres?...

And yet, that was what Schumacher did on his very first F1 race. So who knows, perhaps Franco is also on his way to 6 driver titles... And if he is to be replaced, I feel Jack Doohan should be given a decent second chance. Even an overrated driver like Prost "won" 3 (thanks to the unfair FIA rules ...

If anyone gifted Norris the win, it was Piastri. Piastri didn't do anything abnormal. hard braking is 130psi not 60psi, Verstappen did what starts to become normal for him in making it all so dramatic in order to try and win a race, the stewards just didn't buy it against Russell. Clearly wasn't no...

If this rumour is true, his days are really numbered because burning of the clutch by a F1 driver doesn't shed a good light on the driver's skills & doesn't help justify his place on the F1 grid.

Yes, it is funny how these things go. Yes when we look to invent. An unknown is an unknown. Well unless you're Rumsfeld of course. What you don't know then you will look to invent. No need for inventions, logic suffices. I don't believe that logic emerges without reference to data, your logic would...

Did Schumacher cross the line on more occasion? Of courae. Verstappen? Yes. Senna? Yes. Winning at all costs, all them. It comes with the territory. Which makes them lesser than the likes of Fangio and Clark. Different eras altogether, who knows how both would have fared in the modern age of Formul...

I would be thinking that the F1 teams are obliged to prop up the F1A series, it wouldn't be the only female sport that is propped up the male equivalent, sometimes the females complain they don't get paid as much as the men.

Newey gone, Horner gone - what about Marko?

Has Mekies the required quality? I am skeptical.

Marko stays while Verstappen is still there.

I wonder if it had anything to do with the allegations going through high court, timing is odd…

That could be a further factor, I was hearing this is going to court early next year, the lady will have her say.

I got my wish, first decent result in a while.

The 5 retirements were all rookies, out of their depth in those conditions, even Bearman the sole survivor went off a few times, yes Cadillac should employ rookies or maybe not.

I do have a bit of sympathy for piastri here, seemed like he was trying to catch back up with the SC then theee was a late call to bring the SC in so its lights went off and Piastri slowed as he was then in charge of creating a sufficient gap to the SC so it was out the way for the restart That's e...

Sure, but a year later I would have expected the gap to grow. As that was the trend within Red Bull already. How much? Who knows? You obviously don't know it hardly grew from 2017 to 2018, interesting how Verstappen's performance grows more after 4 years in F1 yet we look to pigeon hole Norris' per...

I don't think it is all that different. Sure, it is nice to get good feedback about the car, but the first few years there are much more important matters to concentrate on.

I honestly don't see it. It makes much more sense to Wolff to keep Antonelli than to keep Russell. Not great for us, but probably the smart move for Mercedes.

Montoya really in good shape, atm. Looks comfortably quicker and better than Minì. Some penalties (Stanek, Dürksen, Browning/Martins) incoming?
