You need to understand that physics applied in a controlled environment do not translate exactly the same in uncontrolled environments because there are these things called modifiers which factor into the equation. Common sense… :lol: Weight is actually one of the most consistent and most easily mo...

Your accusation of Prost being overrated is preposterous. POB Ratings system had him ranked above Senna. Prost is the driver that really brought the cerebral aspect of competition between drivers and more importantly teammates to the forefront. As well, he was not wrong when he acccused Macca/Honda...

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. And yet, that was what Schumacher did on his very first F1 race. So who knows, perhaps Franco is also o...

First piece of the red bull tower falls. Probably the least likeable member of the entire paddock of the last 20 years. So long.

... Literally nobody on his forum, and barely any in the media is talking about a intrateam WDC "battle" with two drivers separated by 15 points. Why is that? Why are you not talking about it if it's as interesting as you claim it to be? Or rather not as dull as the posters you clap back at are cla...

Lindblad will be driving Tsunoda's car in FP1. I'm interested to see how it goes. It's more of an audition. If he goes well, Yuki out this weekend? Do you mean "after" this weekend? Or that they'll trust a 17-year-old with a couple of tests under his belt (let's exclude the Leeds stunt!) with the w...

50-70% chance of rain during qualifying and 30-50% during the race. Silverstone never disappoints.

I think any Max Vs Lewis head to head is pointless now. Verstappen would destroy him. The earliest it can occur would be Lewis at 42. Vertsappen Vs Bottas could be interesting, but even Bottas will be 36 next season. George is the closest but Hamilton was likely slightly post peak by 2022/23 and cer...

Johnson

He is going to Mercedes isn’t he? Unless Horner holds a gun to his head to keep him.

A chance for Max to claim a GOAT status by crushing Russell? I personally would love to see this battle. Probably the closest we can get to seeing a comparison between Hamilton and Vertsappen.

It will be interesting to follow his career. He is in that rare club of winning F2 in his debut season and also has the F3 championship debut win as well. GP2/F2 debut winners - Rosberg, Hamilton, Hulkenberg, Leclerc, Russell and Bortoleto. He is in extremely good company. I know Leclerc and Russell...

Lando has brought himself back into play. They’re pretty equal at the moment with maybe a slight edge to Lando pace wise on current form (the last 3-5 faces). The 5 races before that Oscar won 4 of them and was ahead 4-1. Ahead when both finished is now OP 6-5 LA. I still think Oscar is favourite bu...

So getting the delta on the first pit stop was pointless He had 4 lap fresher tyres, should have given him a 0.1 a lap at advantage least + he thought he was quicker, so 0.2 a lap quicker at least . He only closed the gap from 5.7 to 4.3 in around 25 laps. He did not do enough with the advantage. O...

Piastri not done enough this stint, maybe he prefers the mediums, maybe he was dragged along with DRS. I can’t see him winning from 5+ seconds back with 17-18 laps to go.

Johnson

Oscar accepting 4 seconds back with a 6-7 lap fresher tyres? Game on

Johnson

This is going to end in tears for someone? Leclerc win odds?

Johnson

Is Oscar a lot faster or being dragged along with DRS?

Johnson

10 car DRS train, 7th to 17th (last)

Johnson

Antonelli taking a lot of the interest out the race, silly rookie error.

Johnson

The first truly impressive thing Norris has done all season really. Good job. But does he have an upgrade that Piastri does not?

Johnson

I may have missed it, but I'm surprised there is nothing being said about Tsunoda's performance. Everyone seemed to be piling onto Lawson right from the first race this season, yet Tsunoda has had 8 races, qualifies in Austria in 18th. Are sensible minds beginning to realise that Max is driving the...

Johnson

That’s interesting, I never heard it was Nico refusing to stop again that caused all that. I always blamed the Mercedes strategy guy for causing that.

Johnson

Pirated this last night, amazing quality in 4K. It's ok, but I can see why real F1 fans find it a bit silly. We all knew how it would play out beforehand.

For obvious reasons I am not going to watch this movie. I must admit I liked Rush quite a lot, so making a good movie about Formula One is hardly mission impossible. I enjoyed the pun to end the message. ;) I think Rush , and Ford vs. Ferrari , were so good in part because it was based on real even...

Johnson

After what happened on Sunday, I think McLaren should impose some rules for the two drivers. Maybe like who qualifies ahead gets priority or who's leading after the first round of pit stops will remain ahead etc. All this because they shouldn't forget about Verstappen's consistency. He's the only t...

Its been a while since we had a title challenger make so many errors. Lando Norris is having a horrible time, yet still somehow in contention if he gets it together. His Q3 laps have destroyed his season, which have put him out of position to make even more errors on race day. I can not remember a ...

Was the second video in the pitlane? The stewards report (point 16) talks about a degree of tolerance for being ten car lengths behind the SC. Curiously, this was not mentioned when Checo was penalized. You sent two links showing the Russell incident.... I posted a tweet/X with the stewards report ...

Except that Russell went way beyond 10 car lengths. Which was waved away, entirely as expected. Source?

I mean when Russel is seeing Verstappen is alongside him in his mirror, and then erratically slows down on the straight, to try and do him one over. Which is fairly obvious when you see the safety car disappearing from Russel's onboard camera. Verstappen obviously is trying to stay behind him and t...

Interesting comments from Lewis about 2007, I know earlier on in this thread (or maybe another) there was speculation that Alonso received no preferential treatment in 2007.

Interesting what Hamilton says regarding his Canadian Grand Prix win in 2007:

What did he say?
