Nelson Piquet throughout the years has always trawled the gutter. I plying that his far more popular countryman Senna was gay in an era where that was an explosive allegation, making crude remarks about Mansell's wife etc. It is a stark reflection of how little respect he has amongst many motorspor...

The paddock ban is just and proportionate. The sport is trying to grow into new marketplaces so the last thing they need to be seen doing is letting racism slide. Obviously taking away his world championships would be absurd. The only justification for taking his sporting achievements away is if he ...

Some talk doing the rounds that Piquet's access to the paddock will be revoked unless he issues a public apology to Hamilton. I suspect no such apology will be made and the ball will be firmly put back in the court of the FIA. Max, Checo and Christian are inevitably going to be asked about the situa...

There is no obligation for Verstappen to comment but that doesn't mean he shouldn't. It is a rather awkward position for him of course as he can't exactly distance himself from the man. He can though distance himself from the comment and given the intensity of the rivalry between the teams, it would...

I've already expressed my view of Piquet the person, to suggest that the word used was meant descriptively is risible, he knew what he was doing! Having said that, I'm surprised that the Hamilton defence squad haven't been all over Piquet's opinion that Hamilton not only took Verstappen out deliber...

Oh Nelson. A man who never quite got over his inability to excite the sort of passion amongst his nations fans as Senna did.

F1 probably needs to make a stand like banning Nelson from attending races until such time as an apology is made.

Because the analysis of Button vs Hamilton and Button vs Alonso were so enlightening, I would definitely be interested in seeing Button's earlier teammate comparisons. With his first years in F1 it's tricky because he tended to have one pretty short lived teammates. Ralf, Fisi, Trulli and Villeneuve...

BMWSauber84

I think most people who know anything about F1 know that the points tally was very misleading between Button and Hamilton over three seasons. The margin is definitely a surprise though. The narrative around those seasons across the F1 media makes them sound almost evenly matched.

BMWSauber84

The irony is that Ricciardo’s move to Renault was actually brilliant. He build up his stock again by convincingly beating midfield drivers like Hulkenberg and Ocon. He wasn’t competing for wins obviously, but at least he was beating his teammates and retaining his status as a top driver. Everything...

I always wonder what might have happened to Button's career had he returned to Williams at the time of that ugly 2004-2006 contract dispute involving Button, BAR and Williams. It is probably fair to say he would have burnt his bridges with BAR before they became Honda and then Brawn. It seems fairly...

BMWSauber84

A great idea and I like the execution. A Hulkenberg vs Sainz 2018 comparison would be appreciated. Same for Ocon vs Perez in their tumultuous time as teammates

BMWSauber84

There are some in there that are up for debate, but there is no debating the overall trend. There's no doubt that in terms of points and podiums, Ricciardo would have been more successful had he signed a two year contract extension at Red Bull. It is also pretty likely that he would have had his rep...

BMWSauber84

That's an interesting observation. Is he actually at the level he always was, just that in terms of overall ranking others have jumped him? That's my impression. Ricciardo was best of the rest (i.e. 3rd best) and has slipped back gradually since 2014 really. He probably stopped being the 3rd best d...

May I ask one question ? Reading this forum since a long time, I can see a pattern. Every time a "top" driver meets "difficulties" with a new team or new team mate or new car, lot of forumers (and among them some very knowledgeable ones) bring the "car is not to his liking/style/whatever" arguments...

I'm really surprised anyone is tipping Schumacher to keep the Haas seat. Young Mick looks a spent force in F1 and showing no tangible sign of improvement. I'm not sure he deserves anything other than the Piquet Jr treatment. I think Mazepin being booted out is going to prove absolutely disastrous f...

BMWSauber84

Just seen a headline linking Schumacher to Aston for next season. I assume to replace Vettel. Hmm. I could maybe see some value in having him as a Stroll replacement, but Mick Schumacher is so far off the level required to lead a team like Aston Martin it's not funny. Aston need a statement signing...

BMWSauber84

It seems unbelievable that four years after his stellar Monaco win in 2018, Ricciardo is starting to be considered a bit washed up. Barring a spectacular turnaround, his time at Mclaren is done. He is on far too much money to justify being a Number 2 driver, and his performances don't even match tha...

BMWSauber84

It has been a promising start. The acid test of course will be if/when the Mercedes gets back to battling for race wins. That tends to be when talent really shines through. I suspect he's very much on the pace. That will be a huge relief for Mercedes given Hamilton's age and the fact that it looks l...

Yes I think Alonso not getting to finish his Q3 lap, the woes of Sainz, Perez getting a touch unlucky at the start, the track being less straight line speed dependent and the Red Bull having horrible end of stint pace on the mediums all contrived to make Mercedes look better than they were. They are...

Croft saying "(Insert drivers name here) ladies and gentlemen" will never not make me cringe. He said it when Bottas passed tsunoda and I found it really annoying too... I forget which race it was last year but there were a lot of overtakes and he must have said it about ten times. Someone desperat...

Croft saying "(Insert drivers name here) ladies and gentlemen" will never not make me cringe. Just going to say how happy I am that I will never need to hear that -- or anything else out of the mouth of David Croft -- again. Hands down the best thing to happen in 2022 was F1 TV getting its own comm...

Hamilton must be getting rather sick of safety cars now after being onnthe wrong end of them three races out of four. Alonso uncharacteristically squandered some good pace this weekend. The safety cars didn't quite align for him but leaving him out when they did was an error. First race back for Ve...

The three DRS zones were hit and miss. We got a pretty bad DRS train behind Stroll that just butchered some drivers races. It was fantastic for Albon though and with Latifi for a teammate it gives him a bit of a free pass to rebuild his reputation.

This couldn't have gone better for Leclerc. Verstappen will win a decent number of races this season no doubt but this a such a great position to be in. The Sainz DNF is important too for him as it will potentially force Ferrari to make him play a supporting role from an early point. Especially if M...

I really do not like Horner. He's a brilliant and successful team principal, but insufferable in so many ways. I think his popularity with the "Anyone but Mercedes/Hamilton" crowd will very quickly vanish if/when a Ferrari vs Red Bull title fight is on.

BMWSauber84

Perhaps a lesson for Ferrari that they don't need to run as much downforce on low deg clear one stop tracks. On other tracks the tyre wear advantage it gives them will be key but here it didn't really play a part.

BMWSauber84

The Max and Charles mutual respect fest is making me chuckle. Let's see how friendly it all is by the end of the season if this becomes a full on title battle.

BMWSauber84

Hamilton should have finished 6th but I'm not sure what ruined his race? :? Why should he have finished 6th? I think he would have been in a real battle for 6th. The safety car rather neutralised his hard to medium strategy and while he gained some track position, losing effectively a pit stops wor...

BMWSauber84

A really good race. These low degradation tracks seem like they are perfect for Red Bull as it neutralises a slight weakness they have on that front. The Sochi cancellation looks like it could hurt them a touch. Still strong points for Ferrari. They need to keep pace in the development race though, ...

BMWSauber84

Argh FFS. That's just so horrible for Perez. Just hideous luck. Of course it's Latifi.

BMWSauber84

The wording of that BBC article that the drivers have agreed to race is erm unhelpful to say the least. They've agreed to race in the same spirit as someone agrees to hand their wallet over at knife point.

BMWSauber84

Alpine gave fallen under the radar a bit given a middling performance in a day of pretty much triumph or disaster for everyone else. Years of mediocrity have naturally dampened expectations but they are arguably every bit as much as some of the other teams copping flak. They signed Ricciardo in 2019...

:nod: I've always felt that if Leclerc is in a Championship contending car that he'd have a very solid edge over Sainz ala Hamilton over Rosberg, maybe greater. He just has that ultimate speed and x-factor about him, and we've seen many instances of it already in his short career. Sainz is very soli...

I don't know who these RBPT clowns are, but Red Bull need to go back to Honda ASAP... On a serious note there are encouraging signs in that race. The battles were entertaining on the whole and it really does look like the Ferrari and Red Bull are closely matched. Leclerc managing to win that head to...

BMWSauber84

Ricciardo continuing the same form from '21 season. i'll give him a pass this time as he didn't partake in testing Not exactly true he did Barcelona, meanwhile the Hulk..... In fairness Hulk's benchmark is a man who moves at the pace of continental drift. That's not fair. Stroll actually narrowly o...
