Oh yeah, awesome entertainment in the end.

Thank you for your predictions, I enjoyed reading them.

Uh oh, we're in for a boring and uncompetitive mini-season aren't we. Urgh, I'd hoped that Covid could somehow help F1 in the short term making things artificially close and having an exciting fight, but instead it seems to have exacerbated F1's problems. I don't think F1 as a whole is worse at all...

Just quickly watched his view on the Hamilton incident. As you can see, he jokes about Hamilton pushing him off the road on T1 at Austin. This is the dominant feature of the Hamilton vs Rosberg era. Rosberg outlines after, that Hamilton could always find that 'grey' area between getting a penalty a...

It used to annoy me back in 2008 when Hamilton was referred to as F1's first black world champion. I recall James Allen saying it a few times. Why did it matter that Hamilton was black, isn't he just another racing driver like all the rest before him? All it does is draw attention to skin tone when ...

Weren't Bernie's comments free speach like Hamilton's? Both are alluding to unproven racism occuring right? Either both are ok to do it or both are not ok to do it. I don't like the way that Bernie's in trouble and Hamilton (among others) are not.

As we get ready for the new season both Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen have been getting into shape by playing a bit of football, Daniel has been turning out for top championship team Brentford playing in a striking role. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQKsIeXWeBydg9vO8...

This is something that has been puzzling me. Does anyone know why it is called ''Coronavirus'' and not ''Corona Virus''? For example you can catch a ''Flu Virus'' but not a ''Fluvirus'' and you can catch ''Human Immunodeficiency Virus'' but not ''Human Immunodeficiencyvirus'' nor ''Humanimmunodefici...

If this did happen, would this count as an 'independent' F1 team turning into a 'manufacturer' F1 team? We haven't got many independent teams as it is, Williams is one example of course.

Maybe it's the wording that's just wrong then? It's a list of none WDC drivers that raced alongside WDC's, some past some future ones, other drivers could also be included like say Vandoorne, Piquet Jnr etc, for me there's not really a clear definition . Exactly so why be so pedantic about somethin...

Kimi needed Massa to help him to his crown in 2007 and showed some flashes of speed in his early days, but he drove like a number two driver for most of the second half of his career and he made Vettel look fantastic in comparison. Is Kimi not a number two driver? Both Massa and Kimi were number tw...

Like I've said before when was either Webber or Trulli treated like a #2 driver? The definitions seem quite murky to me, there are the definite ones like Irvine, Barrichello, Massa and Kimi but some others are less defined, even last season Hamilton on occasion I would say got disadvantaged in rega...

Why isn't Button down as one of the options? He was a solid number two to Ralf Schumacher in 2000, then a bad number two to Fisichella in 2001. Then he was a very good number two to Hamilton from 2010 to 2012, (despite crashing into him in Canada 2011, he made up for it by winning the grand prix). T...

I voted Albon 13th, and I do indeed believe everyone below him (Magnussen, Gasly, Grosjean, Kyvat, Giovianzzi, Stroll, Kubica) would by 0.6+ seconds off Max. I think it's actually pretty typical that a third of the drivers on the grid would be about that far off the best. Magnussen was as quick as ...

F1 Racer

I'm guessing all the people that think Albon is around 10th place means that all the drivers in the bottom half of the field would be 0.6+ seconds off Verstappen which means we would have a very weak grid overall. For example Raikkonen, Hulkenberg and Russell are all seen as being worse drivers tha...

Why is Stroll listed ahead of Perez? Is he the lead driver or something? I mean he finished behind Perez in the WDC so what is with that?

The same with Vettel and Leclerc? They are the wrong way round.

Drivers shouldn't really need reminding that they aren't allowed to break the rules. Surely people can see the current situation where race control instruct the drivers which of the rules they will actually impose and where.

Is there always a meeting between race control and the drivers, every race weekend without fail? If so, why? I mean you don't get the referee of a football match, meeting with the two teams before the game to tell them about what rules are going to be applied for the match. Maybe by keeping some co...

With previous generations we saw the top guys drive and remain quite competitive well into their 50's and those guys for the most part didn't take fitness seriously. Today however, the drivers keep themselves in peek condition year round and they constantly work on maintaining and even improving re...

It's pretty staggering that some people are actually in favour of track limits not being enforced, otherwise what is the point of putting the white line markings in? If you leave the track for no good reason then there should be a penalty for this. I think people are just being rational. In every s...

Well Leclerc drove like that knowing that he probably would get away with it. I don't think Kimi would drive like that even if he would get away with it. He's too clean for his own good most of the time. Additionally, I think Leclerc would never have done it himself if not for Austria. Being punted...

Driver A beats driver B when teammates, driver B moves to another team were he ends up in a better car than what driver A has and beats driver A, driver B is now seen as a better driver than drive A. :) Exactly.

In the end these teams race for points and 2018 vs 2019 results for Ferrari confirm or validate what many beleive in the sense that driver chemistry is important. And maybe Kimi was not that bad after all I dont really see how you could credit Kimi for 2018's point total being higher than this year...

1: Hamilton - Clearly the best, as he doesn't make many mistakes and is super fast 2: Verstappen - His time will come 3: Leclerc - Was unlucky and lost points through his own mistakes, but he will come good as the speed is there 4: Bottas - Did well to come 2nd in the WDC and outqualified Lewis a bi...

Also as a side note, while we are talking about the 1997 and 2012 seasons, both were fantastically entertaining and I believe that a big part of this was due to the much closer field spread of the cars in those years which led to multiple different winners and never knowing which cars would be the m...

Way to skip past Irvine's miserable 96/97. It wasn't until his 3rd season with the team that he performed as an adequate No. 2 to Schumacher.
