Thinking out loud here, but are the races postponed due to issues over current Covid levels and teams flying in and out of the country, or are the organisers hoping that dates later in the year will enable fans in and therefore lots more money? I can't see how that works because there are 23 races ...

Well, with not a lot of 2021 F1 news at present, I am enjoying some of the old racing that is being shown on Sky F1. Yesterday they showed extended highlights of a host of wins by Hill. Today, I'm currently enjoying 45 minutes worth of coverage of the 1985 Belgian GP. It's wet, obviously, and when M...

Not this absolute rubbish again. Hamilton is one of the top 5000 taxpayers in the UK. Its disgusting hypocrisy. https://i.redd.it/zgtibi383l861.jpg Source: Reddit I don't have an issue with Hamilton's tax status but I've seen that graphic a few times and it's kind of a stretch.

It would be nice, and less hypocritical if he paid his taxes in the country that just honoured him. Not this absolute rubbish again. Hamilton is one of the top 5000 taxpayers in the UK.

Whilst I don't like that so many wealthy people use tax havens to avoid paying taxes in their home country, it's worth remembering that Hamilton did not apply for his knighthood. He was offered it. Therefore, if there is any blame of complaint to be made, it certainly shouldn't in any way be aimed a...

I always enjoy this yearly thread, but it's a depressingly high number we're counting down from. Come on F1.....

I agree. It was a great touch and already, those not claiming to be racist, are posting racist rubbish all over social media.

Apparently, negotiations over a new contract have stalled until Mercedes get him a round table for discussions to take place around!

I think it's worth remembering that Brawn GP destroyed all opposition due to what was basically a single aero device. A complicated one I grant you, but still a single bit of kit that worked brilliantly and exploited the regulations wonderfully. In 2009, the gap between the first and last car in qu...

This is a hugely unpopular opinion, but I honestly wouldn’t mind Formula 1 becoming a spec series in the future. Let the best driver win. It's a hugely unpopular opinion for a good reason. You're choosing to take the element that you in particular like (drivers) and dumping out what actually consti...

Saying it's victim blaming, that the man has all the authority etc. is completely wide of the mark. Women fly across the world (or across the Caucasus at least) to willingly put themselves in this situation. These men aren't kidnappers, they don't travel around rounding up all the pretty women in c...

:thumbup: +1 I really dislike this kind of attitude; all it does for me is confirm that some people care more about point scoring and getting one over against ‘the other side’ of their viewpoint. Is that seriously what you guys all want; to see racists get as angry as possible? What do you all thin...

I’d have preferred Callum Illott got the seat to be honest, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd getting a shot at F1 is logical. 1st, 3rd and 5th with a social media incident doesn’t sit right with me.

I believe he's recently signed as test and reserve driver for Ferrari.

Also, I'd like to start an official petition to get Lewis Hamilton to go by Carl Davidson just so we can have a different World Champion in 2021.

Who's with me...

I'm hearing a seat has opened up at Haas. Go on Lewis, you know you want to!

Asphalt_World

Lots of chat coming through the media that he's been dropped by Haas.

Asphalt_World

If they're even a slight doubt in their mind, Haas should drop him so they don't lose sponsors. He's not coming into F1 as the greatest F2 driver for decades, so I don't see it as being a big loss.

Someone on twitter is claiming the wrong person won and that they don't care if people call him racist for that opinion. They said Rashford should have one instead!

Rashford is black......

I might have snuck in a vote.

This result is excellent, if only for the racist idiots on social media throwing their toys out of their prams in record numbers.

It's an interesting read and could lead to F1 staying noisier than FE, in the years to come!

By the time they get to F1, they've been wearing helmets for years. Yes, but they could be in F1 for 10 years or more. Everything changes once they get to F1. New personal sponsors, etc. Is there no other way to identify a driver? Well, the helmet is the only bit we see when they're driving. Yes, t...

Williams have released a statement to say he's in hospital but in a stable condition. No more details given.

Let's hope he's going to be OK.

I think it's important to note that some of us wishing for screaming V10s back are not wanting races to be unbearably loud. You can have high revving, exciting sounding engines that are suitably silenced to allow for a lack of earplugs. It's about tone. LIke supercars on the road. Some sound far bet...

Maybe there needs to be another way to identify the driver in the car more easily. I don't think it's reasonable to expect a driver to get a helmet designed on day 1 and keep it forever.

By the time they get to F1, they've been wearing helmets for years.

There's nothing to hate about Hamilton, one might question his selflessness given his comments post Abu Dhabi regarding his lack of fitness...

Whilst I have no evidence to say if it was consensual or not, the fact she said it was, is not 100% proof in itself. If she is saying that it is then it's is, do you not understand what consent is?
