How about 32" with spinners!

Real Drivers can deal with COLD Tires. The Prima Donna's in F1 can't. What does that say?

Seeing it on the forum, however, it looks quite nice so I thought I'd leave it. It shows, of course, the W125s of C...

F1 fans should watch this race - if they want to see actual racing for positions!

This was a brutal day of racing. The weather was very hot and humid, that alone is something no one wants to go through. The track is still bumpy and with those walls, one a driver must adjust to every corner. Even though it had more than it's fair share of chaos and cautions, I love this kind of s...

I had to go far and wide to the subreddits of the internet, before I finally found a way to watch the race, I was so excited when ESPN messed up Australia and decided to run Ad free all year, but they tell me its on ABC this week and when I open it I get some parade instead. Really hoping this does...

Beyond the driver of MB, Ferrari and Red Bull, I suspect that Alonso is the only other driver that gets paid.

The rest have to bring in various levels of sponsorship to be able to buy their seat - if they crash enough even that sponsorship can't save them

There's too many accidents because of "cool" tires. Most other racing series in the WORLD deal with COLD tires - I thought F1 drivers were supposed to be the best in the world and they can't deal with 'cool' tires. Give me a F'n break. F1 should do away with tire warmers if they are serious about t...

I wondered aloud during the last race why we can't just have one type of tyre. If we only had one tyre type that could last the 200 miles of the race then we wouldn't need the 21 or more mechanics and their uniforms and equipment that come out for tire changes with 2 second pit stops. Then we would...

mmi16

I thought of this during the last race as well. Mercedes may want their road car leading the pack for marketing reasons, but it's just not fast enough to keep heat in the tyres of the F1 cars. Maybe a proper GT variant? What is the purpose of the SC? To turn laps comparable to the racing cars? NFW!...

There should be 2 tyre types at each raced - Super Hard and Super Soft - Race on!

He has become the present day Maldonado!

They are paid professionals. Treat them as adults, do not coddle them like they are fragile children. Why should they be sheltered from their own emotions, and why should us fans be kept away from viewing the real drivers, not the prepared public relations machine? Keep it raw, keep it real. These ...

Why not 20 wide motocross style starts

Would require some adjustment of the circuits but what the hell!

Have no problem with the mirrors being affixed to the Halo. I have a problem with the winglets covering the mirrors.

mmi16

He has to finish races before he can pass anyone!

mmi16

Why not go back to F1 of the past.

No pit stops unless it is to change on to or off rain tires.!

mmi16

Kimi acted in a proper manner - those criticizing need to look in the mirror as they are in the wrong.

mmi16

Awesome Blossom! Finally PROPER race coverage for a racing series in the U.S. Not even the darling [COUGHBoring] Series NASCAR is commercial free. This is a HUGE deal because it means that Liberty took notice of what the rest of the word enjoys and likely met with ESPN and suggested a commercial fr...

Want more overtaking - devise aero regulations that promote 'clean air' coming off the rear of a leading car so that the following car doesn't lose significant down force on their front wing. If competitors can run closer together, the opportunities to pass increase geometrically.

mmi16

I guess Mother's had a 'come to Jesus' talk with ESPN.

mmi16

The Real Culprit - is whoever gave Kimi the Green - without having ACCURATELY observed that actions that were taking place on the stop.

mmi16

Limit men over the wall on pit stops and use a 4-way bar to apply and remove the wheel fastenings.

mmi16

I am surprised there isn't advertising on the top surfaces of the halo.

mmi16

The fact the Vettel obtained the lead under VSC is one thing. The fact that Hamilton couldn't mount an effective overtaking attempt after losing the lead is the real question.

mmi16

ESPN sucked the big weenie this weekend.

Modern F1 started in 1950. Every year since Ferrari has been threatening to leave if it didn't get their way.

mmi16

Start the Far East races so that it isn't the middle of the night in the US.

3 AM start times suck.

But hey, y'all asked for supelicence reforms because Verstappen is going to be "so dangerous" in an F1 car. And what do you know, he was. It's a matter of opinion whether his age had anything to do with it, but he definitely went through a period of dangerous driving in 2016, and he still shows gli...

Be honest, for kubica's fans, if he had been 1 sec quicker than stroll the fact that it was a test wouldn't mean anything. This is what the forum all about, having opinions about who's faster. You could very well be right. People have a habit of bigging up what looks good and playing down what does...

The wreck causers all have Super Licenses - for causing a incident their license should be suspended.

Hooking your star to ESPN and Disney/ABC while they have declining viewership and revenues and ESPN especially throughout the past year or more has been reducing workforce (in front and behind the cameras) and payroll. Not good to sign up with a shrinking organization.

mmi16

I’ll say the same thing I always say. Women, in significant quantities, just aren’t that interested in motorsports. The vast majority of young girls don’t take any interest in karting and as such never progress to anything near F1 level. I can’t see there being anywhere near enough interest in a wo...

DNF ruins his series of finishes.

Time to hire 'SECURITY' for transportation to and from the track for all race connected personnel.

Pirelli has been a fustercluck from the first time they put F1 Rubber to the track - not Pirelli's fault but the FIA mandate.

Max sets fastest lap ever - breaks Juan Pablo's lap record from 13 years ago. That's why he pitted just to get fastest lap. lol yeah. The fastest lap does not mean anything these days Ferrari much faster than RBR here. Hamilton screwed up an easy win though because of his mistake yesterday. It mean...

Who will have the longer career?

This is what your NOT comprehending. Why were engines from previous formula's louder???? Its not because fans wanted to hear more noise. Its because those engines had to rev at high peaks to create more power cycles inside the engine to produce the same amount of power a current formula one engine ...
