Who had lap 51 in the ‘talking about rain which isn’t going to happen’ sweepstake.

I always thought it’d be good to see a 270 degree corner, which cuts back under itself with a short bridge/tunnel, somewhere. A bit of a gimmick but it’d be a real test of mechanical grip and minimum apex speed.

So, fully vaccinated or a negative lateral flow test within 48 hours to access the British Grand Prix. Wish me luck.

Obviously that’s better but I don’t think the green asphalt/tarmac needs to be there at all. Let’s them run up on the kerbs and that’s it.

For the sake of completeness the Noda-Fittipaldi incident took place on the last lap with Noda having been on his tail for the whole race. The circuit is not conducive to overtaking without high risk. Although the circumstances were not exactly the same, 2 of the 3 incidents I referred to from last...

I’ve always hated just how angular the corners were in AD. The apex never follows the racing line through a corner, they’re all just jagged lumps which stick into the track.

These proposals look like a definite improvement, although that’s not saying an awful lot.

Still overwhelmingly Lewis Hamilton. Too much experience and too many tools in his arsenal. How anyone has been watching this season and think Max or Charles are the fastest because they qualify on pole with the fastest car on the day beats my imagination. No combination is quicker now than Lewis e...

Looked like a Ricciardo divebomb to me, and he certainly was never disqualified. It was nothing like a Ricciardo dive bomb. Dan was always in control, left the other driver plenty of space and made the corner. If anything this reminds me of Austria 2016, expect it wasn’t done deliberately. As for t...

I'm going to say Lewis and Red Bull to win their respective championships. Just.

I don't get it. Who's the second fella? He does all sorts of videos on social media where he looks are ways people do things that they think are clever and then shows you how to do it without any fuss. I do get the meme, and I have seen the TikToks. That said -- and I'm going to go into some potent...

Bottas and Mercedes is starting to get that Seb and Ferrari messy divorce feel about it. He was telling them they couldn't make the one stopper work, they ignored him and he ended up fourth in a three horse race. The trust will be eroding away and I'm sure he is well aware he was being used as a shi...

Get ready for an hour and a half of Crofty talking about the prospect of rain whenever he sees any remotely dark cloud on the horizon, moving in the wrong direction and not actually producing any precipitation. Still it looks finely balanced at the front so hopefully even if it’s dry it’ll be watcha...

I had no real issue with it until it tried to kill Felix, it's surely had more motorsport crashes than aeroplane ones though. That’s mainly due to aircraft having ferociously stringent certification requirements with multiple layers of redundancy and the best part of a decades’ development before t...

In theory I’d say the fewer moving parts the better when it comes to anything mechanical. No technology will ever be perfect but Brundle often mentions how the prospect of a stuck throttle or brake failure used to terrify him long before -by-wire technology. Indeed, cars are far more reliable than t...

Also went with Riccardo, quite comfortably IMO.

Have a feeling Gasly may want to move on anyway. Potentially a seat at Alpine or Aston if Alonso or Vettel decide their heart isn’t really in fighting over minor points. Tsunoda you feel will get the obligatory second season.

Fantastic weekend from VIPs. He should be leading the championship without all the technical failures and DSQ in Bahrain.

Banana Man

That was harsh on Ticktum. Deledda shouldn’t be allowed on the grid, he’s just useless getting in the leaders way a minute behind the rest of the field.

Banana Man

I just thought why not just let them race on softs. No hards or mediums. The softs are fast but degrade fast depending on driver's skill. That way there would be two or three pitstops but those who were fast but took care of their tyres would shine. That’s basically what 2012 was. A whole race of t...

At what points did Giovinazzi overtake Ocon? Wasn’t he behind him all race? Giovinazzi overtook him at mirabeau before the hairpin on lap one and was ahead until he pitted. Edit, saying that ocon must have overtaken him first to get into this position as he started 11th. But I do remember seeing a ...

Just went with the podium. Don’t really know what else to say. They all followed each other by about 1.5s for a bit, then some of them jumped or dropped a place or two in the pits. Basically you could vote for anyone who happened to have a bit of clear track around the time of their pit stop to put ...

[/b] Surely that's an example of the track being hard to overtake on making the race more exciting/memorable not less? No it’s not. It’s proof that it’s impossible to overtake. If an essentially broken down car wins the race because nobody behind can overtake, then what chance is there of ever seei...

It’s like playing croquet on a turnip field, there is no fix. You’re attempting something which is clearly not appropriate, to which there is no answer. You either watch a processional race with no on track action and accept it for what it is, or you do something else for an hour and a half, once a...

In fairness Hamilton's penalties in 2011 were horrendous decisions. Especially the Massa one. What? He was clearly at fault for the Massa hairpin incident and taking Maldonado out. How was he at fault for Massa turning into him? It’s a hairpin. Turning in is traditional. In this case Massa turned i...

I too think additional time is the best thing in the situation. Could be a great weekend for max if he gets the pole or the jump on Charles. I suspect after his comments bout overtaking Lewis will have to creatively find places to overtake, ugh like 2011 but hopefully without the cringe Ali g refer...

You don't need a tinfoil hat to understand that there is absolutely no incentive for the guy leading qualifying not to crash. Happens way to often. IMO any driver who causes quali to be ended early should have their best time deleted. Either that or they should add another 5 minutes onto quali. If ...

And I've just seen it. Not a chance it's an accident. What? No way you’d smash your car up deliberately, like that. No way a driver doesn't get anywhere near the line they've been taking successfully all weekend. This is Monaco. Way better to finish quali on pole with a car that needs repairing. Th...

Max on pole then surely?!

Can somebody buy Crofty a cloud so he’ll shut up? Every race when there’s the slightest hint of a dark shadow he starts talking up the threat of rain.

He’s a decent commentator, Jacques too. Love the latter covering the FE with Franchitti.
That's Jack Nicholls

Doh! Getting my Jacks and Jacques’ mixed up.

They’re both good though.

Maz ahead of Mick in both sessions. I wonder if they were running different programmes and tyres.
