Track limits should not be open to human interpretation. The track must enforce its own limits. Exceeding track limits with one tire will cause more than 5 or 10 seconds added to a participants race time. Penalties should not be assessed as time penalties unless the action happens on the last lap. ...

Perez then keeps his Red Bull seat because there is probably no future for Tsunoda at Red Bull, I'm not sure what happens with Lawson, maybe they keep him at RB for a second season if there is no other junior that is ready to step up.

He beats Lawson, Lawson has good race craft which helps in the races but I believe lacks ultimate speed. We will have to wait and see. I am very hopeful that Lawson gets a chance this year and if Ricciardo continues to drive as he has done in the last two races, that moment cannot be too far away. ...

saudi track is boring, very boring
Apparently it's the 3rd hardest track to pass on so maybe things might get better but I'm not counting my chickens.

Singapore, Monaco, Barcelona, Melbourne, Zandvoort - which of those allow passes easier than Jeddah?

Just asking.

The end of cheap motoring is going to be a problem for millions (especially as the cost of housing pushes those on lower incomes further and further from their places of work) of people and I don't see how it's one that can be resolved.

On top of it all, Hamilton never had a car as dominant as Verstappen has enjoyed the last 2 seasons and seemingly this season as well. I'm sorry, but that's just not true. The only way the current Red Bull is even potentially better than the peak Mercedes years is reliability, but purely from a per...

Paolo_Lasardi

I think when talking about "greatest" rather than "best" success is a factor. It's why I would put Hamilton ahead of Alonso despite the fact that I think Alonso is the better driver for example. What is the sporting value of unchallenged wins? Mind you, we never had the situation where a driver cou...

Paolo_Lasardi

Verstappen beat Hamilton in similar cars despite suffering 3 DNFs in a season while his far more experienced rival only had 1. In other words, he was about 50 points more unlucky and still won in the end. 8) All that in a car in which Bottas outraced Perez 12-4, if my memory serves me right. Versta...

Probably,
Vettel, Baku 2018
Verstappen, Jeddah 2021
are the closest.

Technically, Gasly should have received a race ban.

Between them, Bottas, Hulk, K-Mag, Perez, Ricciardo, Stroll and Zhou have done 1,285 Grand Prix. Come on now, let someone else play!

The lack of verstapoen mistakes is also due to the fact he almost never has to push. Like when is the last time max had to really fight another driver for a win? Off the top of my head it was Vegas. And he got entangled with George there. Before that? I cannot recall. Anyway, its time we see max be...

Verstappen would have won races in a Mercedes in 2022 and 2023 largely because if he's driving for Mercedes then he's not driving for Red Bull. Mercedes drivers finished second to Verstappen 8 times across 2022 and 2023. That's assuming he's going up against Perez as lead driver of Red Bull. If Max...

The race was terrible, it's one thing to have a dominant team and a dominant driver but the racing behind was a procession, it seems we are back to dirty air and it being really hard to overtake which these cars were supposed to eradicate, but no the officials have allowed the teams to put things o...

Of course you can comment, indeed this is what a forum is for. When you use the word justify, you make it seem that posters need to justify their choices, and I don't think posters necessarily need to. There was a discussion a fair while ago about anonymous polling and I made the specific point tha...

People can vote for whom they think did the best job based on any number of factors. Surely that doesn’t mean these votes are any less valid? Where did I say so?

Paolo_Lasardi

Some, if not most know out here Perez is my favorite driver. So it's only natural for me to follow him in live timing. His race pace was as good as Verstappen, especially in the second half of the race. P.S. - No way he was way slower. But I didn't vote for him as he's expected to be second in the ...

I'm surprised you didn't notice he did pretty well. I can't say I was looking at his times the whole race through, but I can't agree with "massively slower". He didn't do as well as Bearman or Ocon, but that's neither here nor there. In what way did Perez better than Piastri, Russell, Leclerc, Hülk...

I'm sorry but once this is all over, if no-one has been forced to fall on their sword, fired or voluntarily left, then for the life of me I fail to see how Horner, Marko & the Verstappens can maintain anything that even remotely resembles a functional working relationship.

I don't think safety has anything to do with it. I think it's just considered to large a penalty now. Well, that was the argument put to me on this forum a while ago when discussing why drive through and stop and go penalties are no longer being handed out by the stewards, due to the proximity of r...
