For the first time since it was introduced, I have cancelled Sky F1.

This doesn't make me regret it - Di Resta was one of the few highlights in the team. Crofty gets worse every year and Brundle misses too many things.

Herb

Thoughts for 2022 - Meh.

I gave it much though last off-season, but decided to give it another shot, but I haven't really had any improvement in my enthusiasm so Sky F1 has been cancelled - which I've had since it was introduced.

Thanks for running it this year JN23 - And congrats on the win!

A strong 2nd half left me in with a slim chance at a podium, so I took a gamble on the last race and chose counter what I suspected most would do. Didn't work out!

Simple solution tbh, that I have suggested in the past. If there is a red flag within the last 1.5-2 mins of Q3, either extend the session by 2 minutes or allow everyone a timed run. If your crash caused the red, you can't take part (not that it's likely you would be able to...) Drivers can run out...

"Would" is different to "Should" I believe they should - they are all racing to the same rules - nobody else has built up the points necessary for a ban - and as yet Gasly hasn't either. But I don't believe they will issue a ban, I think the FIA will bottle it. I think if Gasly is close, suddenly he...

Great stuff, cheers. I think that provides an interesting ranking.

Surprised to see De Silvestro ranked so high, but i guess that does reflect the higher level of competition in Indy.

Apologies if I've missed it but does anyone know whether fines are identified in the financial requirements as an exclusion or not? Presumably if it isn't stated, the assumption would have to be that any fines count against the teams budget for that year? Quite an important little detail either way...

The fact it appears to be a 10% reduction on the 70% they have, not 10% of 100% test time, just makes the penalty even less of an issue for the team. Yep, this is crazy. If someone like McLaren breached in the same way, and were given the same 10% reduction, their penalty would be harsher than RBRs.

Interesting Dolomite. Maybe you can weight the first score by the potential super license points, to give you a feel how they are doing across formulae. It wouldn't be perfect (what ever is!?), but might give an indication. It's also be interesting to see how the scores compare with either select m...

I actually agree. The cap should be an all inclusive cap. Perhaps you make it £250m but it covers everything. It's like the other day people were saying the caps worked because it's got them down to £140m. No it hasn't. You're missing £50-100m worth of wages off. Plus all the items they are slippin...

Using engine penalties really isn’t a good comparison. The FIA are clearly OK with people taking on additional penalties. If the FIA had said, the penalty for going over the cost cap is a fine of double the excess, and a bunch of teams went over then we would all be thinking “fair play to them, the...

IIRC it is impossible to strip away titles after the FIA gala has been held? That being the case it's a complete sham given that it takes 10 months to audit the accounts, would a same outlook be given for a major breach, we can't strip titles. Is this actually a rule? It has been referred to as suc...

1572505094868049921 This makes too much sense. It looks sensible geographically but only illustrates how difficult it is to plan things with only geography in mind.

For me the best solution is a budget cap penalty. Exceed the allowed engine parts and you get x amount deducted from your budget cap for the season. Combine that with points deductions for exceeding the budget cap and you do actually force teams to either run their engines more conservatively to av...

And they did not have two old floors? The article I linked from Autosport says they want Perez to keep trialling things with the new floor. I guess because the wind tunnels say it should be faster and they are trying to work out why there is a correlation issue between wind tunnel and track. So, it...

I could be stupid, but I was looking at the odds for F1, where they propose you choose the driver having the most points, per team. e.g. Verstappen 1.05, Perez 8.00 Not a big payout if Verstappen beats Perez, but better than your savings account interests atm. But then I saw this: Norris 1.06, Pias...

Playing devil's advocate here - and sme of this was based on my original interpretation: 1. The any v all debate has been done and what this highlights is an ambiguity in the rules by the way they are worded 2. This is a fixed rule - but, again, another rule worded in an ambiguous manner, could hav...
