went for ric, stroll and russell - I know latter had issues late but he is in a williams - and others did what they should have with equipment - I mean lewis has the best car on grid, Verstappen lucky to start and with second best car on grid - they should have performed - results vs machinery guys

F1Oz

A bit of luck and a bit of reliability making the difference - I think the McLaren and Renault very well matched to date this season

F1Oz

For me, Verstappen, Norris & Perez. Special mention to Stroll. Stroll should have been penalised and lucky to have got what he got - Without that DR probably would have got 5th But Norris did a good job and I think Russell (except for his off) did a great job all weekend Racing point were a top 3 t...

i'd hope all lives matter - no ethnicity or gender involved - any suggestion that one life is more important than another is abhorrent to me

i hope that the BLM movement gets positive results where there has not been equity - and makes us view our past with a new lens

F1Oz

People who are using the 'all lives matter' phrase are either frighteningly ignorant or intentionally trying to remove the focus from black people because they are racist. It's amazing so many people are using it across the world. Mate - hope that isn't 'all' those - I used it and I am NOT trying t...

Surely its the end of Williams

I support all those who have suffered abuse or discrimination We have had protests in Australia - incorporating not only black lives matter from the US but black lives matter in Australia - where we have had a number of issues also What is important is to acknowledge that all lives matter I hope tha...

I got a month free for the official F1 site - to look at some videos and see what it was worth But after a couple of weeks - the access stopped The official site people - did not answer as to why (and still haven't) - my request to delete my account - hopefully has happened - but no response The rea...

The issue on value for money is also about whether the driver scores points - which can be worth a lot to teams It's clear DR was the priority for McLaren in 2016 - but their history for the years prior was what made DR go for the works team It's not clear Renault (or Merc) will stay the course - an...

Had a 30 day free trial to see archive videos - but after just 2 weeks it limits access to just current videos - so shonky

Hopefully others 'won't' try to join this shonky site

In 2010 I'd go so far as to put Kubica top. He was an absolute machine, whereas Hamilton made mistakes which cost him the Championship in Monza and Singapore. Rosberg will always been an enigma in that period as we don't really know how much speed MSC had lost. Much like Vettel always looking comfo...

F1Oz

it's an interesting concept - clearly those like Fangio/Senna/ Prost and more were fantatic - as they had to overtake on track - but the cars allowed that more easily In the modern era - Ricciardo is clearly the standout in a non dominant car - but some like Mark Webber was underrated as he often ha...

As I've said elsewhere - why not have a second Australian GP? Everything is set up, the teams don't have to move, I'm sure the organisers would issue discount tickets and Australia could give some priority to the country (ies) it substitutes for (perhaps)? If it wasn't a street track I think it wou...

F1Oz

How about we have Australia 1, Australia 2, Australia 3 and Australia 4? That would cover the first 4 races and they could probably cut some gaps if they don't have to pack up and move

One could trial a reverse grid even if points were not recorded - or some other options

F1Oz

squat - like the Ferrari

Ugly in fact - but that doesn't mean it isn't fast

F1Oz

I understand not paying money to produce a manakin car - but if so - just launch at test when it's all together

F1Oz

Unless changed to later this year (and perhaps even then) I suspect so

but if this turns into worldwide Pandemic - 2020 could be toast

F1Oz

Is it just me or is the Ferrari clunkier and chunkier than say the McLaren?

F1Oz

F1 car looks good

F1Oz

2010 if the team had not played favourites - would have been Webber's year - the 'not bad for a number 2' was after Vettel damaged the better wing and then got given Webber's upgrade - so Webber won with the downgrade version - just stuffed up at Korea spinning off the painted line in the wet - if n...

F1Oz

You mean Vettel collided with Webber in Austria - as it was CLEARLY Vettel's fault?

F1Oz

I wonder if he will - the team has now transitioned to LeClerk as number 1 - so unless he goes gangbusters on a race- think he willl not - and I almost expect him to retire at end of year

F1Oz

The Ferrari and Mercedes had significant performance advantages - so to finish with arguably the 4th best team (with RBR potentially superior) and against others with clearly superior engines - Ricciardo and Hulkenburg clearly 1-2 - then argue the rest - LeClerk got the job done - but could have bee...

F1Oz

Vettel should seriously consider retiring - he has been awful this year Do you mean from the race or the sport? Either way I agree From the sport - he has always been a dubious driver - fantastic in front - but head to head dodgy - and against a genuine compatant driver - not good I think Ferrari c...

F1Oz

particularly when his qualifying should have been disqualified as clearly illegal - but I guess Italian bias

F1Oz

That should be a black flag for Vettel - anything less is a joke - Stroll a stop go penalty at least as well but unfortunate

F1Oz

I'd still have Fangio 1st - won in conditions where a single mistake would kill (and he lost a season with a nearly fatal injury in 1952 - but he did things way beyond his team mates - consistently and across multiple racing formula (not just F1) - and did it at an age when most would have nearly re...

F1Oz

No - so many others who would do better - just no

and noting that I do think Bottas should be on grid - just not at Mercedes

F1Oz

It's a no from me as well

so many others deserving of the accolate of top 10 and Seb just doesn't cut it - particularly with the last 5 years where he can't win even with the best car two years running

F1Oz

Hulkenberg, Bottas and Gasly all just did their chances of keeping their respective seats no favours at all. The Hulk once more got a nose bleed when in sight of a great result. And in conditions that he usually excels in. Well he was excelling before he crashed, Ricciardo was nowhere in comparison...

F1Oz

Obviously pretty chuffed with the news. Agree with comments on the track. The frustrating thing is that I think it'd be a fairly easy & reasonably inexpensive exercise to turn the track into one that could provide a few fairly good overtaking opportunities over the lap. What changes would you make?...

F1Oz

failed to leave room, forced other driver off track, hit other drive twice despite not being other than equal - didn't fully lock to avoid collision - three red flags and Max should get 5 sec penalty imo

That's according to current rules - but it's hard as we all want good racing

F1Oz

Brundle " He opened the steering wheel a little but didn't run him off the road". Um, OK Martin. lol - yes of course he ran Leclerc off the road - and hit him twice doing it - that's another deciding factor that he 'should' get a penalty - the second hit alone should be an automatic penalty seeing ...

F1Oz

If you penalise that move you're going to have be handing out a lot of penalties in the future. but they have multiple times for lesser offenses - and Max could have left more room and probably still would have got pass done - or been able to get pass done by next corner 'legitimately' - for me tha...

F1Oz

clearly Verstappen failed to give room and deliberately drove LeClerk off road - he had the position soon - that was just unnecessary and 'should' be penalised

F1Oz

Clear that Vettel's drive was equal to Hamilton vs Ricciardo in 2016 - except Hamilton failed to make chicane (and should have been penalised) - and Hamilton could clearly have given room and decided not to - versus vettel who had little choice - I'm no vettel fan as my posts over time would show - ...

I like the design of some years ago where instead of going through the tunnel - there is a spit of land with a straight to a hairpin - then a long sweeping straight and curve to the swimming pool - more grandstands and a hotel etc and more boat anchoring options - can't find it easily now - but it m...
