FIA sent out a tender for common gearbox for all cars in 2021. F1 is becoming NASCAR and INDY Racing now. The reason many F1 fans from USA are attracted is because of the teams building cars with non standard components. As much as I like HAAS I despise that they buy parts from Ferrari. When can I ...

theres too much driver presence. I have been watching the coverage in London and USA to be honest Ted was great really enjoyed his commentary. I had the chance to watch F1TV for the 4 days and Chandhok was terrible. Not as good as others and now the booth is crowded with former race winners...not ve...

Data from a few minutes ago - total laps over two days until now: Team: SF90 257 W10 248 RB15 205 MCL34 177 C38 176 RS19 146 STR14 143 VF-19 98 RP19 79 PU: Ferrari 531 Honda 348 Mercedes 327 Renault 323 The Ferrari PU has an extra car running so their huge lead is normal, but look at that Honda.

SF90 looks strong. leads laps both days and time sheets regardless of fuel loads, tires, the teams know the true speed and everyone is saying they look fast. Need to keep the development up to high levels, so far so good.

do we know if they will run the same program this year? with no adverts during race? I know they made a mistake and made it free from commercials for the error in early March however not heard anything on how this year will be distributed to F1 race fans via ESPN(s) I'm pretty sure I saw that it wi...

That Alfa front wing is different then every car launched so far. is this something better? Not being an Aero person not sure what to make of this. If this is an advancement that others dont have perhaps we see this on Ferrari Friday? Maybe they all have them when testing arrives next week? These la...

Hey, stranger! Good to see you back.

My brother Blake..always a happy day when I hear from you...hope all is well my good friend.

I think this is all for nothing. if this works out it can be a great revenue stream for many teams and promote an alternative to cigarettes that I think is valuable to everyone.

looks like a great car!

So in summary, Vettel didn't do anything special, nor did Kimi, Max was a ****head, Bottas didn't race Seb hard enough, and Mercedes screwed up Lewis, leaving Hamilton as the both the victim and the hero. Have I got that right? ;) I was thinking the same actually Blake. So far Vettel has won two ra...

I think this is complete nonsense. The budget cap is the biggest nonsense. So you can cap the cost of the team at 150 million (or whatever the number) but not cap drivers salaries? That means you are capping engineers? The whole idea of a budget cap is to do exactly that Cap costs...then any bonus ...

Its a pleasure to be in Italy this week and watching the coverage here, just amazing coverage with knowledgable staff.

Horner is a huge crybaby...so hold on let's ban Adrien Newey...he builds too fast chasis and its not fair...engine development should be the same as chassis development any cost of gaining speed is good, why ban engine development? Because REDBULL doesn't make an engine.

AstoriaisBACK

First they cry the sport is too expensive now they say the HAAS is a Ferrari. No wonder F1 needs a complete overhaul. These crybaby teams will never be happy, and Red Bull should look in the mirror, crying about Party Mode....just terrible cry babies.

AstoriaisBACK

Terrible coverage so pro British teams its scary. If we want biased announcers I'd rather see Haas backed announcers as its being shown in the US.

Rather go to Italy and watch it there at least you know your getting passion and excitement. Brundle is a wet noodle with a stiff upper lip. Boring

Standing starts after a SC would be a disaster. I really hope they never implement it. It is also open to race fixing. Imagine a championship deciding race. Hamilton leads Vettel in the final round, Vettel needs to win the race. Kimi puts it in the barrier with 10 laps to, SC. The grid re-forms, Ve...

Im not anti Hamilton nor anti MB, just pointing out the fact which it is by the way a fact that Lewis lied(misled,misinfomed,was not truthful, omitted parts of the truth) whatever you want to say thats the point. He tried to put Seb in his place and make him look bad, in the end Toto told the truth ...

Cell phone: Ring, Ring.... Hello, this is Gunther. Gunther, it's Maurizio. We need a safety car. Can you screw up a wheel attachment on Roman's pit stop? Aw man, we just lost Kevin. Don't ask me to take Roman out of the race just so you can leapfrog Lewis on your pit strategy. Gunther! Do you want ...

definition of someone who is defeated....blame others for your failure. Max got schooled by the Dane in Turn 1 fell behind and couldn't get around a Haas. Why is that? He over cooked a turn lost pac fell further behind and in the end off the GP couldn't get past Alonso. So RedBull couldn't pass a Pa...

Great win by Vettel and Ferrari P1,P3 not a bad points haul. A few things 1. we now know Hamilton is a liar, he did use party mode in Q3 as admitted by Toto 2. Bottas used the same VSC in pit speed to jump Sainz so MB knew the advantage do not blame a computer 3.The smile got wiped off Hamiltons fa...

To be fair, I was not as disappointed in the actual race calling as I feared I might be, though I was surprised at some of the less informed comments that they made, I thought they were experts! The pre-race was very pro-Lewis and anti-Ferrari as I had expected and if there is a repeat of such balo...

Personally, I don't want to have to use any damned "app" to watch F1, just let me have one network that I can count on to see Practices, Qualifying and the race. The idea of having to surf and hope I can find the particular channel that happens to be showing it, whenever they choose to broadcast it...

You anti Ferrari people don't understand 1 thing. Its not just Ferrari its MB and McLaren and Williams.

There is no question that Williams and McLaren...

Bribe? when Ferrari negotiates a deal its a bribe but when Red Bull gets money its to a bribe? This is one of my most critical points....Bernie knew that getting Ferrari on board would then get the rest on board. the issue with breakaway series from a few years ago was Bernie..now today you can get ...

I think we will get great coverage from the UK based broadcast team. I have been lucky to watch these guys in action many times last year in London and also in Canada. My fear is the constant TV Commercials in the USA. if we are lucky to have no breaks as in UK or limited breaks in Canada then this ...

Did you see what Liberty just said today? They are blaming Bernie for the low fees collected at Brazil GP. So then Liberty said we will negotiate GP fees on an individual basis. OK so they want to get the F1 teams to get paid collectively in parity yet they themselves want to be paid and negotiate f...

Ferrari have the prestige...thats why F1 wants them to stay...it won't go away if they have a new series...Ferrari brand is solid as is McLaren, Williams , MB whatever form of racing these guys are there, not as a sponsor but as a builder, engine etc. The moment Ferrari decides to leave these teams ...

when people say F1 will be better off without Ferrari then why in the world would Bernie who by all accounts is a master negotiator pay 100Million per year to them? The only logical conclusion is because with Ferrari Bernie could make more money than without them. Also to protect F1 from Ferrari mov...

Your point while taken isn't the same. I do not suggest nor would I ver suggest that we want to watch 20 Ferrari V8s...that is exactly my point, if you keep dumbing down F1 with shared parts, shared engine, same budgets you get NASCAR and for whatever reason people watch NASCAR thats not F1.

I am not being selective. purely looking at this from an investment side. in NFL or other Leagues. You have fixed costs. A coach has a salary range, all costs in those sports are measured against the other teams. NFL for example has position players with a cost associated with that player (there is ...
