Interesting from Ted's Notebook talking about Aston having no upgrades. He said that during the break they left a chassis with Honda in Japan and they have apparently managed to solve the vibration issues, so now the have a clearer path to start introducing performance upgrades.

Yep if you want something even more entertaining (IMO) and outrageous - and also not really wrong - you should find the one where he 'discusses' Lance Stroll.

Wow did anyone else watch the UK Channel 4 highlights today? I don’t think the FIA will be pleased as it showed highlights from the first two races brimming with video game sounds, overlays and effects, power-ups, Mario cart type effects and explosions etc. Sorry can’t find a link online anywhere ot...

A new vid just dropped from my fav F1 commentator - Rocket-Powered-Mohawk, first in almost a year, so thought it worth a quick post as I thought he had disappeared off the face of the Earth. Some good observations as ever……

Well I suppose after this weekend the FIA can now truly claim F1 cars are ‘road relevant’. They are just like our road-going EVs…. a gremlin within the battery system renders the car unusable and even the best mechanics/technicians are unable to do anything without going back to the OEM....

Ah right so that's why I've struggled to find accurate listings for the replays! That's infuriating as a few times last year I've turned on the TV to watch the replay at the advertised time (after avoiding news, phone and internet all day) only to see the race at mid point, which totally ruins the e...

Happy to reserve judgment for a few races but Peter Windsor’s words do resonate in terms of initial impressions (and are not very complimentary)…

A more interesting race than I expected but it didn't do much to convinced me about the new regs. Ferrari justifying the reason I didn’t pick them for WCC, Doh, although great to see BOTH drivers up there. Gutted for Hadjar, Lindblad is a beast (mid-season swap anyone? 8O ). Pleasantly surprised by ...

I have not voted (I don't feel I have looked at enough data for a sufficiently formed opinion), but find it interesting that only 2 of the 21 voters so far have selected either Norris or Piastri. I think it's a combination of 2-3 factors, most of which Jenson's understeer laid out in their post. Fi...

Well I’m the outlier that voted for Norris, granted maybe wishful thinking, but I suspect with the monkey off his back he will be stronger, calmer and less mistake-prone this year, plus I think he may have a slight advantage over Piastri in terms of adapting more quickly to unknowns with the new car...

Just hearing that 70+ McLaren, Mercedes and Pirelli staff are stuck in Bahrain with outbound flights suspended. That is not good and I hope they get to safety as soon as possible. Also, given that Trump has mooted a five-week ‘military action’, it seems very unlikely that the Saudi and Bahrain GPs c...

I liked the white-and-orange Monaco livery from a few years ago much more than this year's offering, which is very uninspiring. The Monaco livery would probably be even better if striping was added in line with the press photographs. https://cdn-3.motorsport.com/images/amp/YMdeKX12/s6/daniel-riccia...

If any of this means anything then it’s looking good for Mercedes I'm not able to see the tweets so I'm guessing this has already been posted. 1 ANT (Mer). 1:17.362, 91 2 RUS (Mer) 1:17.580, 92 3 NOR (McL) 1:18.307, 74 4 COL (Alp) 1:19.150, 58 5 GAS (Alp) 1:19.297, 65 6 BEA (Ha) 1:19.314, 42 7 LIN ...

The launch was cringe (as I suppose many of them are) and the audience was anything but enthusiastic.

But I'll go against the grain by saying I don't actually mind the livery - understated feels refreshing to me these days (probably my age)

Well this is some welcomed news. I wish Portimao wasn't replacing Zandvoort (but rather a different track), but I'm happy to see it return to the calendar. 2000854379059089912 2000853595487658275 Oh that is good news, Portugal is one of my favorite places so now I've got another excuse to visit :)

Yep I've noticed a lot of made up stories like this on social media this last couple of weeks - as usual most people don't check whether a story is legit before spouting off about it. Ho hum.

What is the punishment for not giving up the seat the required amount of times?

Was thinking the same thing when I saw Piastri's name there! The McLaren sabotage conspiracy theorists will be having a meltdown

Biffa

I'm thinking Norris might be needing Piastri to win in Abu Dhabi as he would then only need 5th to take the title. Going by today's performance I'd be nervous for Norris even taking 3rd if Russel and Antonelli are quick.

Biffa

Why would they act differently than the rest of the "powers" around the world ? They know the problems come mainly from the cars (size, aero, etc.) so they'll try anything to avoid to tackle them. Agree. They're unwilling to address the real issues so they just look for band-aid solutions that at b...

How dare you spoil this thread with facts? :-P I was so sure about Piastri, he looked as cool as a cucumber in the first half of the year. But now it really has turned 180, hasn't it? I feel for him, but also, it is up to him to get out of his slump. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be able to. To...

Ooooh this is getting really interesting! Is Norris finally starting to step up? Is Piastri’s famously calm demeanour starting to hit the speed ceiling? MASSIVELY stoked for tomorrow’s race – lets’ all hope for a clean start!!!1

McLaren team & even Norris think Piastri got hit by another driver....sheesh.

As a McLaren supporter that must be one of the most unaspiring lacklustre performances I’ve seen from both drivers and team for a long time.

I think if McLaren had just told Norris they were going to pit Piastri first to cover Leclerc then it would have been just hard luck and definitely no need to swap. As is was they discussed it with Norris and told him he wouldn’t be undercut, so whether you agree he was indeed undercut or not McLare...

For some reason I can't watch the official FORMULA 1 channel practice highlights today on YouTube via my phone or laptop because it has 'defected I'm using a VPN' (which I'm not). Anyone else from the UK getting the same?

It's only the FORMULA 1 channel that is doing this - very very frustrating.

Start definitely wasn't the best, but I think his drive once they had made the call to swap the strategy was excellent. The actual start off the line looked pretty good to me. Obviously the line he took that saw him boxed in and lose places wasn't the best but the initial getaway looked decent. Onl...

This is what Leclerc said in post race interview: "In the car I didn't have all the information, now I have. We had an issue from lap 40 on the chassis. From that moment I was just a passenger. I'm disappointed, but these are the races. At least I know what happened in the background". Very strange...

Other than Horner not stepping aside when the scandal broke last year, which may have cost the team Newey and that would count as an enormous mistake , I don't really see what he has done recently which was wrong.

Just heard Brundle say he spoke to Horner who said he wasn't given any reason for 'being released'. Very odd.

Biffa

If this decision was purely performance related I’d be slightly surprised.

[Edit] do we know for absolute certain he was sacked? the statement said 'released from operational duties', which leaves more wriggle room than the FIA rule book

Biffa

Just a couple of thoughts: Re the first safety car I’m sure Brundle mentioned something like; the safety car was called for reasons of visibility rather than surface condition therefore flagging the race or switching to wets would be questionable as the safety car period would help clear the track (...
