Basically, the problem with defending on the inside is that the inside line is slower; so if you defend on the inside and there's a straight afterwards, a following car can just tuck in behind you and, making a faster exit, overtake you on the following straight. That's what Rosberg should have done...

Putting the whole weekend together, I can't look past Hamilton. A great qualifying, a decisive (whatever you may think of it, the stewards have clearly made their stance clear) move on his teammate at the start, and then making the right strategy work to take victory back after a poor start. The onl...

I'm inclined to agree with Verstappen, Sainz and Bottas; all of them did at least something extraordinary, and none of them made mistakes. For the weekend the answer would be different, but for the day it's those three for me.

In an attempt to make up for my very poor position with bold strategy, and hopefully continue not being dead last, I'd like to use my group two joker on Valtteri Bottas for Canada. (Now watch him bin it in the wall on the opening lap... :uhoh:) Just a thought. Raikkonen might win a race this year w...

I actually got bored after 1 hour and watched football instead :frown: I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but either way that's an unhelpful and unpleasant comment. By all means go watch your football, but what does this supposed response contribute to a thread for people who presumably do not ...

No official update until Wednesday night at the earliest, but unofficially: Black_Flag_11, mcdo and Remmirath share the win individual win. No word on the team win, since that takes more than a casual glance! :D But it's probably one of those three people's team. My hands froze so I didn't take many...

Safety car start weather. Interestingly, as I'm about to leave my hotel in Montreal, the local weather prediction disagrees, projecting it as a fairly low 15% chance of rain all day and only 2-4mm if it happens. Definitely not safety car weather, and possibly even a slick start. We'll see who's rig...

And here I was feeling good about 208 points. :lol: Enjoy the race Exediron :thumbup: If either of us score anything close to that, we'll have justification to feel pretty good! :lol: I'm hoping it's a good race, because it's also expected to be cold and wet. A cold and wet classic is one thing, bu...

Rest assured my mind is not really blown and I'm not one to easily jump on hype bandwagons. I'm giving my honest opinion. Really, coming out with statements like "the honeymoon is over", belittling him, is just stupid. By now Ricciardo is seen as one of the best drivers in the field. How could one ...

Exediron

Pretty mindblowing if you ask me. I suppose that would have to depend on how easily your mind is blown. Mindblowing to me would at least require actually outqualifying Ricciardo. I think the Verstappen fans tend to get into a feedback loop with everyone else, where you feel other people are being u...

I believe HS Thompson has not apologised for offending me by stating that he sincerely believed I needed anger management. He has made something up about you now.

1. Faster in qualifying. Prost had 33 poles in 199 attempts while spending 4 seasons in a dominant car (84, 88, 89, 93). Hamilton reached 33 poles in 131 without a single dominant car. About Prost's years in a dominant car: in two of those years he had the best qualifier of all time for a teammate,...

I live in England, therefore I live in a free society. However, I have to conform to lots of rules and regulations that I have no say over, and lots I don't agree with. So, do I actually live in a free society? Does anyone? If free society means anyone can do anything they want to anyone, would any...

Very interesting discussion here. I agree with HS Thompson. I dont want a world with a "safety dictatorship" where all the things involving risk would be banned... I think that means you agree with everyone who has posted in this thread and I would think in the whole world. Exediron said the race s...

While some are claiming that no driver of the past is the equal of today's drivers... I can easily suggest that the driver of today,with all the electronics and aero help, would not match up to those great oldies when it comes to pure driving skills. This is always something that I find interesting...

You project serious anger and I hope you get help for it and I mean this with much sincerity. You get phenomenally upset at the tiniest words here and lash out bitterly.

Not faulting Bottas because the Williams just sucks in the wet, but my point is that none of those overtakes are going to make the best of the year, and most of those guys ultimately did not like to see a Redbull in their mirrors so they let him by as if there were blue flags. That's it. I do agree...

Thinking about it, it's really frustrating to realize that if Ferrari had executed well and capitalized upon Merc's mistakes, Vettel could have been in the lead of the championship taking a win in Australia and a second place in Bahrain into account. That's 46 points extra for 106 points in total.....

in a time where theres constant reports of F1's decreasing TV viewership, its nice to see F1 viewership in my home country. Not wanting to stir the kettle too much (or whatever the phrase is), but I think those reports are usually from disgruntled British fans who aren't used to having to pay to wa...

My thoughts too sadly... I've become increasingly pessimistic about Ferrari's upgrades this year.

It could be worse; it could be a Honda reliability upgrade!

Fixed I can't really argue with that, but it still doesn't feel right to me because I wouldn't accept that level of risk . It all comes down to on what level I believe the participants really understand the risk to my peace of mind , and to what extent it's morally responsible for me to allow a per...

I think this is yet more proof that the Isle of Man event is barbaric and should be banned. It probably won't happen, but I think the death rate is pretty inexcusable in the name of sport.

You appear to want to lock it because you, and perhaps some other mods deem it a thread that is of no use. Nobody is being racist, sexist, generally abusive to the people involved in the sport who made the decision, nor indeed the two drivers being talked about the most, so why lock it? Because the...

The commentators in Moto GP are nearly always right, and when they're not, they admit to it. They really kill the F1 commentators in terms of their ability to translate what's going on in a race, not simply by saying what they see, but by bringing in that extra knowledge they have from being behind...

They don't have to go top tier. Why not get Bottas even rather than Massa? I'm not saying it's a problem although I do get frustrated with the same old faces on a merry-go round of the best drives.

Agreed. A factory team should be aiming higher than Massa for their lead driver. At least go for a could be Perez or Hulk. Palmer (who would be the one Massa is replacing) isn't their lead driver either. Yeah, there are better drivers out there, but I also think people are too eager to ride the ant...
