Re: 2023 Austrian Grand Prix FP & Qualy/Sprint Thread
I'm watching F1 for more than 25 years, I always thought track limits is a very silly thing. On some tracks (like this one) it really comes down to lottery. You literally cannot predict milimmetrically where you put your car at that speed. Is an unnecesarry struggle for the stewards, the audience a...

Re: 2022 British Grand Prix Race Thread
Hamilton and Leclerc had a good scrap, but in Copse could've easy been another 2021, Ham took this time the correct tight line there, they were millimetric apart, and looked like Leclerc had even tighter line than Ver last year.

Re: 2022 Australian Grand Prix Race Thread
Leclerc is on point with everything so far, qualy, race... I can't see anyone challenging him this year, unless RBs Imola upgrade will make a big leap for them. Max doesn't bang in the qualy laps (it's kind of his weak department throughout his career - I think I counted some 7-8 poles that could've...

Re: PF1 TMW 2022 Predictions: Mercedes and McLaren
Oh, missed it, poll ended.
Anyway, would be the first to bet on Russell having the upper hand on Hamilton overall, although initially could be Hamilton.
At Mclaren Norris will continue to lead the way, but Ricciardo will be much closer.

Very much so, more than before.
This has been one of the best seasons and finale in my 25+ years of F1.
Directive mishaps and controversies don't have too much on me.
Especially now as from next the new regs could provide some exciting new era racing.
