If the new rules work then no, no-one will come close and F1 may well get split into 2 eras much like tennis when talked about in the future because the era's differ so greatly. If they don't work and we still get dominant cars for extended periods then with the ever expanding calendar and what i ex...

Haven't had the chance yet but read that the Dakar parts are really good and I missed all of that so looking forward to it.

Autobiography is out later this year as well I believe.

So 3 ex-Ferrari employees are now at in the top 3 positions in motorsport. Hmmm.... That said, Todt is expected to step down in 2021, so maybe there is hope for us yet. Brawn was more recently a Mercedes employee do not forget. However he didn't exactly leave Mercedes on good terms. Neither did SD,...

Yeah I thought for sure they'd go blue and yellow because of all those connections but they're going red,white and blue so oh well. We'll still hear plenty of Renault talk because of the engine so I can see why if they were going to remain then they may as well push a sports car brand they want more...

Assuming the 3 teams stay roughly where they are then the lead midfield is going to be pretty sweet to watch... Vettel vs Ricciardo vs Alonso vs Norris vs Ocon. And if Ferrari can make a semi decent step with the engine then we can add Leclerc and Sainz into the mix on a regular basis as I'm sure th...

Easy pick for Sainz but the man has no luck. Quietly having a great season. How do you see Charles Sainz going against Charlie Leclerc? I think Leclerc will have too much for him over a season in both sessions but closer to the Merc situation rather than RB's. Close but clear to pinch a Boxing phra...

Wickens fleshes out the impact of a crash in practice and some other nuggets from the Arrows Boys performances for anyone interested. Moral of the story is don't bin it in practice I guess...

Rumours on another forum are that Renault will be rebranded Alpine-Renault or something along those lines with their current DP World sponsor and next years car will be blue and yellow and that we may see Alonso and Ocon driving outside of F1 for Alpine somewhere too. Already confirmed is Alpine bra...

Not that it matters, it was a Honda year as Newgarden found out so the win was never on whether he bins it in practice or not or whether his clutch failed or not. Just got to hope 2023 is a Chevy year or he hooks up with Andretti again which interestingly Mario seems to think is possible so perhaps...

The bottom line is it's clutching at straws saying that Alonso beat last year's winner when he got pushed into the outside wall and had to pit with damage. Alonso being slow started the week previous, how can his car be slow and his 2 rookie teammates car's be quicker? It's not clutching at staws, ...

After he got pushed into the wall and had to pit with damage that cost him a lap, Alonso also beat all of the other drivers that were quicker but crashed. You forget Alonso had a clutch issue himself for the 2nd half of the race and had other issues worth a mention for fairness... AMPS's Lead Aerod...

Alonso finished 21st of 24 running at the end. Ho hum... Well, the guy right behind him -- 22 out of 24 -- is the same driver who won it last year. Make of that what you will...

The mystery of the sister Bull car continues..

What's the mystery? Albon isn't on Max's level and the RB can be tricky at times as far as I can tell.

There were reports yesterday that qualifying engine modes could be banned from next season and further reports today that they could be banned as soon as Spa. https://the-race.com/formula-1/special-qualifying-modes-could-be-banned-after-spain/ How odd. Although I don't disagree with it, why now? Af...

From the BBC article: "Under this system, Ferrari last year earned about an additional $110m (about £84m), Mercedes and Red Bull more than $70m, McLaren about $30m and Williams $10m. "All those payments have been removed from next year, and replaced by a new system, which will reward Ferrari $40m e...

According to AMuS the answer is yes, Ferrari are weakest. Can't get the link rn but iirc they said...

Mercedes
Renault (-25bhp)
Honda (-30bhp)
Ferrari (-50bhp)

Big yikes for Maranello.

I can't see this punishment surviving the appeals. There is enough grey area there I feel for RP to successfully appeal. And enough grey area to potentially have them removed from the WCC if the others make a strong enough case that running a listed part designed by another constructor makes RP at ...

Lotus49

Essentially we know they didn't design the RBD, a rival constructor did, so on what basis are RP eligible for prize money this year in the WCC if we're all agreed they are running a part they were supposed to do themselves or through a 3rd party but did not? You can reasonably argue not being able ...

So not salty at all, they were right, the RBD are illegal for RP to run this year because they didn't design them at all unlike they initially claimed. The FIA just can't stop them running them anyway without excessively draconian (Fire entire design team and provide fresh design) or potentially dan...

I read it's a 3 year deal which I'm a bit surprised about but with where Renault are,the additions of his Ferrari friends in Fry and De Beer to go along with Budkowski and with the Budget Cap coming in I guess it makes sense for lack of any top 3 interest to think slightly longer term. I hope Renaul...
