Alonso said before the race they'd take it as testing, I guess he meant it quite literally. One car oddly in the wall and less than 10 laps between both cars.

In F3 Lance Stroll is banned from race 3 for taking out the top 3 in race 2. After his flying practice at Monza you wonder how long he'll be in the Ferrari driver academy.

Holy something something is there a lot of terrible driving in F3 this weekend. Unbelievable.

Very good race 1 at Spa in Formula 3 this morning. Constant fighting for the podium places and a few guys coming through from some way back to finish top 5. Also late race drama between the leaders.

And a great GP 2 race too.

Horrifying race 2 at Spa though, scary airborne crash into Les Combes.

Well, they are both part of the of VW group. If it was Peugeot or Toyota vs. Porsche I doubt it would have been as friendly. The radiolemans.com guys said the Audi people went over to congratulate the Peugeot team when they beat them a bunch of years ago too, so it's actually not true that it would...

"You need to do an on-track power cycle. Accelerate out of the chicane to fifth gear, power off, wait 3 seconds, power on. You will have no steering and no brakes so make sure you're pointing in a straight line."

Eurosport, Y U HAVE SO MANY COMMERCIAL BREAKS?! Seriously, there will be fatalities if I see that bloody Nismo as again. Try: http://www.foxsports.com/foxsportsgo/ Not sure if it's limited by region.

Latifi trying and failing to psyche Vaxiviere out of an overtake and getting what's coming to him, a cut tire.

Oh dear Rowland, incredible brain fart.

The poll question should be What's better late or early race, I get confused when the poll question isn't the direct opposite of the thread title. That said, I wish all races started a few hours before lunch, and 6AM is no problem with me either. Sometimes it's nice to have dinner and watch the race...

Sligthly related, I guess they're lucky they managed to score in Monaco, because now it seems the engine penalties have arrived...

Ooh! Ooh! New poll! How many PUs will McLaren use this season?

Liket

Worst Formula E race I've seen. Nice scenery guys, but I'd rather watch that WW2 airport again if it means I can get the same kind of racing. More dullsville than Sochi.

So I thought the when will McLaren get on the scoreboard thread was lots of fun, and there's only one way to go now that they got there. Down the toilet. Nah, up, of course! (There are actually several ways to go) But how long will it take? I haven't included every single race because I think it's s...

Yeah the first race everyone is forced to run the low downforce config, right? Seems like they can choose to run less but are allowed more in race 2. It didn't come across that they had unlimited use of DRS on the broadcast I was watching, but then I thought I saw them move the wings many times but ...

I find the rules strange, when they red-flag a race 2 minutes from reaching the maximum allowed time (of ~40 minutes?), but because they've managed less than 75% of the laps it's not considered 3/4s. I guess you could argue the other way, too, though. Is it the same if they finish the race due to ti...

Felipe must be rich from all the royalties lately.

Or maybe he was just the first one I noticed who said it a lot.

Liket

The only positive I'll take from this is the combination of refueling and free tire choice, which might actually open the door for some clever or chancy tire choices from different teams. Do you bring the super softs and hope for a late SC and a glorious low fuel stint the last 5 laps, or some other...

Well, with that round out of the way, 44% of the forum are wrong. And if they don't score next round then it would seem pf1 forum users are really pretty fairy cakes at predicting long term develoments in F1

Those 2016 voters are looking less and less silly.

I'd say near-total lack of funding. He wanted to move up after -13, he was interviewed by a low profile Swedish TV show about mid-season when he was a title contender, and he lamented his lack of sponsorship. There might've even been a hint of resentment there, IIRC. I don't think he would set the w...

Story of F3 so far this year, field is probably a bit weaker than last year, but it's a bit early to call. It's a big field though. 35 starters. Series veteran Rosenqvist has taken 6/6 poles, but had two taken away at Silverstone because he had a damaged wing or something. Thus started from the back...

What happened there, De Vries? More entertaining second race in FR3.5 than the first.

Haryanto is the surprise of the weekend for me, really impressive, unless he's taken too much out of his tires at half way through, remains to be seen. Vandoorne is being smart right now, sitting 2 seconds behind Matsushita for several laps while the 4 ahead of him are fighting all the time, then th...

This race was fantastic.

I believe they can do it in Spain, but I'm voting for Monaco because I believe that's the very latest they'll do it due to the nature of that race, and there are still a fair bunch of teams who are outperforming them convincingly still ie RBR, STR, Sauber from the looks of it, probably Lotus on pace...

COMMENT: Ex-F1 designer GARY ANDERSON on the Williams battle: "The team allowed Valtteri Bottas to challenge and overtake Felipe Massa on the last lap of the race. "That is criminal because they had everything to lose and nothing to gain, as fifth and sixth were assured. "I am a Bottas fan but it wa...

That is genius. I wish they had that for every race, and kept it archived.

It's the ultimate F1 paradox. Alonso can drive any car reasonably quickly, no matter how terrible, while simultaneously no one is able to design a car he likes!

Why are people booing Hamilton, I don't get it.

Great race today, fantastic.

It's a bit gusty at turn 14 Fernando, FYI.

I don't think the token system is great. If a team is way behind in aero there's nothing arbitrarily stopping them from catching up but when it happens to be the engine there suddenly is. I had this poorly thought-through idea about how they could assign more or less engine tokens each year dependin...

Seeing as he won one of the largest popularity contests in the world, it's no wonder he has the charisma to interview someone in an entertaining way.

I feel this was also pretty accurate.

It's the fusion of Vettel and Kimi. Ferrari are cutting back on costs and running just one car, they also decided it would be much easier to design a car that was tailored to just one driver.

What's going on at McLaren? Button said their focus was mileage the other day and they've barely been out, at the end of the session some FIA technical delegate was in there talking to Boullier and Dennis behind a throng of engineers.

How much is down to the team/car in GP2 anyway? I've been watching for a year or two, but it seems like it might be a lot? It always seems to be DAMS and Racing Engineering out front (and ART, sure, but I've seen them throw results away several times). Gasly was pretty damn awful in GP2 last year fo...
