What's your objective for the one change?

For example, if your objective is to see more overtaking, form every grid in reverse championship order ...

My objective was to boost grid numbers, while also thinking of a monetary incentive for teams to buy more entries

First off, gotta respect the 6-year bump. As to your suggestion... I can see the reasoning, and I struggle to come up with a good argument against it despite not feeling quite right with it. Certainly, in the early days of F1, teams ran with many different numbers of cars. Therefore, it can't be ag...

-- Bump -- Something V8 Supercars do, and Im curious to see what the F1 fans here think, is the idea of Racing Entitlement Contracts (REC). How it works - So a REC is essentially a contract to participate in the series. 1 REC = 1 spot on the grid. There's 30 RECS, meaning theoretically a maximum of ...

So Aston Martin hiring a bunch of senior technical folks is making the news recently. What struck me as interesting is that pretty much all of them seem to be from Red Bull (Dan Fallows, Andrew Alessi). We all know the relationship between them and Mercedes is especially close, and that Toto Wolff ...

BAR did win a race with JB. At the wet Hungarian Grand prix which was also Jensons first win. 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix. That was Honda, they took over from BAR in 2006. I know, it’s an easy mistake to make, because the 2006 Honda still looked very much like a BAR, and normally people associate the...

I love posts like this. Here I go. My dream for F1 is for the calendar to split it up into regions, so you can have mini regional championships, then the overall World Champion. Region 1. Asia 1. Albert Park 2. Bahrain 3. Baku 4. Sepang 5. Suzuka 6. Turkey 7. Yas Marina 8. Shanghai Region 2. Europe ...

I wouldn’t really consider Dan a journeyman. Of those 5 teams, 1 was arranged by Red Bull to get him some exposure before joining TR, and another was a promotion from the sister team to the A team.

IMO only 2 moves have been on his terms, moving out of Red Bull to Renault, then Renault to Mclaren.

Any chance I can get a name change to Steam Coat Hun? It was a typo in the Indycar thread, but I think it makes for a wicked name

Well, a brilliant win for Veekay. Grosjean got stuck behind Bourdais for a while and ended up second, about 5 seconds off the win. Still, a brilliant drive. I think Indy has had 3 first time winners out of 5 races this year!!!!! I hike it was a superb drive by Veekay, Grosjean’ steam coat hun the w...

McLaughlin starting from 5th as well!

Super proud of McLaughlin’s result in Texas. For a guy who’s barely raced in open wheel, and never on an oval, the result is awesome.

Him being in the sport has reinvigorated my love of this series

RoGro was alright, but super chuffed with Scott McLaughlin’s performance. Finishing 14th in his 2nd ever Open Wheel race.

This is one of the best Rookie classes the competition has seen in a long time

I thought I would start a Thread on Williams in general, rather than one thread just for this topic. Looks like Williams has signed Francois-Xavier Demaison as technical director. He's come from Volkswagen, where he played a part in their four WRC titles. Speculation time - With his relationships wi...

It looks like one of the default liveries on Codemasters' My Team feature.

Not a fan, TBH.

I came on here to say the same thing. Looks like it should be on a 90’s ripped F1 game, where this team is named Willians and it’s drivers are Mikel Shoemaker and Ruben Arancini

You can tell we’re getting close to the F1 season opener when you see the Porsche / VW entering F1 rumours.

They’re the Megan Markel’s dad of Motorsport. Trying to get in F1’s spotlight anytime something good is about to happen

In this case Williams merely go from running a Mercedes junior driver to a Renault junior driver and it ensures that a driver with actual talent makes his way into F1 rather than whichever driver has the biggest wallet. The independent teams are the ones by and large running pay drivers, let's look...

Okay, here are some bold predictions that I believe might actually happen... I'll do one per team: Mercedes announce that Bottas is out before the summer break begins Max takes second in the WDC, but Perez fails to record a victory (is that really bold? I don't know) Ricciardo wins the Monaco Grand...

Ok, my bold predictions
* Danny Ric will get a victory this year
* Stroll will finish higher than Vettel in the standings
* Red Bull will win the WCC, thanks to Checo taking points off Bottas

One person that doesn't crop up more than I thought is Sam Michael. Looking at his history, he seems to go to F1 teams & they get a lot worse. I happen to bump into a designer that worked on the 2010 Williams car & he said that Michaels had no clue on how to run things & treated all the other desig...

It’s like asking how a Golfer can go to the US Open for the first time and get a Birdie. They’re the best of the best, and it’s their job to drive fast.

I think in the case of Hulk and Aitken, it’s what happens when you replace a pay driver with a driver who has talent

So a race in his first season after what was deemed by the FIA an erratic drive behind the SC by Hamilton, not the fact a rookie was running in 3rd after being thrust in midway through the season ok then! Regardless, you can’t say that wasn’t a silly mistake he made. At any rate, you seem to be foc...

Bit of crazy speculation here - More to see what you PF1ers think. Once Hamilton owns all the records, do you see him as the kind of driver who would take on the challenge of moving to Aston Martin? Do you think he's the kind of driver who would fall for the romance of a British driver winning in a ...

I don't think Stewart has a valid point, and I'm not sure he particularly likes Hamilton. Stewart might try, but you can't compare the modern and classic era's, whilst the fundamentals are still the same, it's almost a completely different sport.
