I don't think most people with enough money to buy an Aston Martin care about F1, let alone the "inner details" of the Aston Martin F1 team and their F1 results. I am not sure either than a F1 die-hard fan with enough money to buy an Aston Martin would care. It's essentially about increasing brand ...

He didn’t do anything wrong on Sunday that I saw. With others spinning off, Vettel kept it on the road despite having a reputation for that. Did he get any points along with his stop/go penalty? After 5 in one weekend in a 23 race season he really needs a clean season now. It’s a shame Vettel got a...

Now I think about it, there was a time when Albon got the same time as verstappen in qualifying only just after he moved to red bull mid season. Then Albon never got anywhere close to him after that. The reason I bring it up is because I think that session and this one was about the only ones that ...

Unless Hamilton looked quicker and Bottas was clearly holding him up, I don't think they would at this early stage of the season. Toto has shown ruthlessness in the past. It's only 3 points in that example but you'd rather have them in Hamilton's tally at the end of the season rather than Bottas'. ...

Doesn't that photo of Hamilton belong in the rare, funny, interesting F1 pics thread?
Still not recovered his sense of taste after Covid I see.

Don't think so. A garment made out of washed-down and sun-bleached chequered flags is a brilliant idea.

The bikes probably more competitive than when he left. Pol made loads of mistakes at Qatar and still had good pace. Nakagami and Marquez jr clearly had the bike to win at Aragon last year He's had plenty of big injuries before and missed the off season, came right back and on the pace. When he wins...

A question from someone who didn't ride a motorcycle since a long time, and obviously doesn't follow Moto GP as closely as some here... You all seem very sure Marquez will be back at the top very quickly, if not from the first lap of his return. May be as a rider, but what about the bike ? I am und...

Would the 1 voter who believes Tsunoda has already proven better than Norris, Russell, and particularly Leclerc care to explain their reasoning?

Aren't you all too carried away because you've been longing for it ? If you compare today times with the times of the tests just 2 weeks ago, there's nothing to be excited and certainly no conclusions to draw. Alonso would be first today. In my opinion, today is just the second test that they were n...

Forewarning : In my view, a driver can win the TM war, voted as having more "better week-ends" during the season than his team mate, and still finish behind in the WDC standings. Except for a meltdown* of Hamilton, I don't think Mercedes TMW has to be discussed. At Red Bull, I don't see it as the wa...
