Supposedly, Sainz's opportunity to go over to red Bull is over as Red Bull are wanting to renew Perez's contract. The Mercedes offer still stands but it's for 1 year as Mercedes want Antonelli to eventually drive for them. The only long term deal is from Sauber but they've given him till Monaco Gra...

@pokerman I admire your passion and tenacity. I have no idea how you do it but it must be really tiring to follow Lewis and see/watch people questioning his legacy at every opportunity or holding him to the highest standard or find faults even when there are none. Give it a few years and this same ...

Interesting picture; it shows not only why it is never wise to turn in when there is a car alongside on your inside, but it also shows why: because it also shows who benefitted from the outcome. (Hint, it's the car near where the lines meet. ;) ) Verstappen benefitted with the penalty no less, the ...

Can you show me where the regulations say a driver has no right to be there? My copy may have a page missing, but somehow I doubt it... That's why KMag got penalised maybe you need a refresher course. I know why Magnussen was penalised, but I would be very grateful if you could show where the regul...

Now you've stepped into the ring KMag was recently penalised for doing exactly the same thing to Sargeant, behind at the first apex no right to be where he was at the next part of the chicane, thems the rules. https://i.ibb.co/dpnWfXB/N-vtelen-13.jpg Interesting picture; it shows not only why it is...

Remember - when a female is in a race - every male thinks they have bump her whenever possible. Do they bump them in qualifying as well. Every opportunity they get. It's hard to take you seriously.

First of all Silverstone was red flagged because of the Zhou crash and was restarted on lap 3. Sainz had a 1.365s lead on lap 4, on lap 8 Verstappen was in DRS range, the following lap Sainz made his mistake and let Verstappen past, so this Verstappen being unable to pass Sainz is a bit false as so...

pokerman

Those early laps in clear air you talk about in Canada:- Lap 1 Verstappen to Sainz 1.764s Lap 8 Verstappen to Sainz 2.629s Sainz was unable to get within DRS unlike Verstappen with Sainz at Silverstone which forced the error from Sainz. You know this is misleading. Compare the lap times they were d...

Vettel was being dropped by Bottas at a rate of 1 second per lap on C4s, so even if Ferrari looked “quicker” on Friday, evidently it did not translate to Sunday. Which wouldn't have happened to the faster Ferrari driver especially if he had qualified on pole plus you're only talking about 10 laps o...

In Canada 2022 there were only a few laps early on when both Sainz and Verstappen were on the same tyres in clear air and in that time Sainz closed the gap to Verstappen by a small amount.

Yep, I'd agree with that as well. Ocon has a sizable body of work in F1 at this point, and the vast majority of it points to less than optimal teamwork. The only teammate he didn't fall out with was Ricciardo, and that was probably just because Ricciardo had him firmly in hand in terms of pace. Gas...

No, why would I do that? Just checking it seemed with the present Mercedes it's little more than being able to drive around problems. That is over 8 years ago.

Gasly races the same way, so I don't think you can really put the blame on one over the other. Much like with Perez/Ocon, it takes two to tango.

It is clear that the correction regulations Red Bulls are struggling relatively more on street circuits. I don't recall that being a trait of the W06?

What was up with how Ocon and Gasly fought? Ocon as usually did not give a quarter to his teammate. That often ends in tears.

Well, this is my take on it and we will have to agree to disagree. The data is not available to prove one right or wrong either way. What I see is struggling drivers, what you see is a bad car. Russell by all accounts is really no better than Albon and therefore one must assume he is not insanely t...

In Canada Sainz qualified behind Alonso because he made a mistake on his final lap, which in turn also cost him time in the early part of the race. Still he was as quick or quicker than Verstappen once both were in clean air. Not to mention that Leclerc started last because of a penalty, a very win...

Feature that the VSC was called at the point when Verstappen was past pit in and would not be able to take advantage of it.

Like they waited for him to drive past but no none of the cars close behind him pitted either, we look for the VSC to be called at the best time it suits the leader?
