Re: Few Teams but High Level
2008 and 2009 there was nearly nothing between the entire field. Every team except Williams had either a win or a pole in those 2 seasons. Adding the 3 teams in 2010 was a disaster. Not a good news week for Williams, is it? :lol: Although I'd welcome more cars on the grid, the three that were chose...

Re: It's getting harder to be a Williams fan
I said at the time that it seemed to me that Paddy Lowe was claiming to have a lot to do with the success at Mercedes, but I couldn't see the evidence to suggest that was the case. I wasn't expecting him to be a success at Williams. Was Paddy getting too big for his boots at Mercedes and Wolf and L...

Re: SportPesa Racing Point F1 (Livery Only)Revealed!
If this year's wings look like snow ploughs, what do last years look like? To each their own but personally i'm glad to be rid of those monstrosities. I think it's the end plates that make these new wings look bad, and you only really see them from a side on view. They just look very "agricultural"...

Re: Red Bull RB15 Revealed!
I don't understand why Red Bull time and time again come out with a 'testing livery' which we all know will be the standard come Melbourne.
I do hope they continue with the 'matt' finish, as its at least different.

However, with Haas getting the support from them too (do they still?) Do we have in effect 6 Ferraris on the grid?

If it turns out to be the case, you'd be as well skipping rest of 2019 and 2020 seasons and wait for 2021 to save us!

Best most competitive I remember F1 was about 2008-2009.
Within that window every team bar Williams managed either a pole position or a race win.

Re: 2018: How do you rate the season?
Decent season overall.
first few races after the summer break were very meh! But enjoyed the 'fly away races'.
Biggest concern for me is the ENORMOUS gap between the top 3 teams and the rest. Its horrible.
Only 1 podium all season not from Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes. Thats appalling.

Re: More cars for top teams.
we need a full grid of 13 teams again - 26 cars.
Or even more than that with prequalifying.
But who in their right mind would want to enter F1 these days?
Red Bull have 2 teams.
Ferrari have Haas as B team, Sauber as C team in all but name.
Mercedes probably feel they are missing out.
