Can I use Massa at Hungary in 2008? His engine let go and he very clearly retired from the race, but because it was only 3 laps from home he was classified rather than listed as a DNF. It still feels early in the season, compared to say, Hamilton in China the previous year, but Felipe won the next t...

1 reason why Max/Marko would be preferring Hulk over Perez is because when Max were to beat Hulk, Hulk would be calmer & accept defeat in a more subtle manner. When this same situation would arise for Checo, he may get flustered & a similar scenario of Perez/Ocon could arise. https://www.gpblog.com...

The vote for the Portuguese Grand Prix was undoubtedly the most lopsided we've had in the time I've been doing these threads. While I'll admit that's somewhat influenced by the poll not being open as long as they usually are, the overall trend was very clear. Eight drivers won their respective TMW b...

The Eifel GP vote saw all but one of the TMW go heavily in the favour of one driver; in fact, five of the ten finished with a score of either 15 or 16 to 0. Of the TMW not already settled for the season, Pierre Gasly had the best day, extending his lead to 8-3 for the year and now needing just one m...

That's obviously not true. The two of them will share debriefings, they'll share a garage, talk about development together, etc. -- there's all sorts of opportunities for someone who isn't a team player to cause problems even if they're not in front. TBF there is no evidence that Perez has caused a...

Jenson's Understeer

So if I'm understanding that correctly Russell is potentially out of William's next year, with the new owners opting for a Perez and Mazepin lineup. So the likely resolution to this is him being promoted to Mercedes with Bottas being bought out and found a seat elsewhere, possibly Aston Martin. As ...

We're now entering the business end of the season, and with it we're starting to crown our first TMW winners for the season. With six votes left including this one, the math is pretty clear: any driver with a lead of seven or more TMW race wins cannot be caught. Five drivers headed into the Russian ...

I don't see them challenging Mercedes or Max. I think it'll be a continuation of 2020, with Aston Martin, McLaren, Alpine, a rejuvenated Ferrari and Alex Albon squabbling over 4th place. Perhaps with Aston Martin ahead a little more often, although based on the last few races, the Alpine/Alonso comb...

Question for Imola which is the race after next - any thoughts on the deadline for picks? There is only one practice session so the deadline needs to be when that starts or when qualifying starts. Basically we either keep it as when the Saturday practice session starts as with all other races or we...

I can't believe I'm managing to hang around in the title fight in spite of not winning a single round. I can only assume I've had more top threes than the two ahead of me?

Okay, how's this for a look into the future: Red Bull speak to Mercedes about an engine supply for 2022. Mercedes refuse on the same basis as they did previously (they don't want to supply arguably the biggest threat to them). They have brief conversations with Ferrari but it goes nowhere for the ma...

A little later than planned, here's the Russian GP TMW vote thread. The Tuscan results threw up a few surprises, at least in terms of the 2020 form book.

Half tempted to put Max in at P2, just because Bottas not even finishing 2nd at a track he's considered strong(er) at would be peak 2020 Bottas. But not worth the risk.

I've said all along that I would sign Perez.
