So both Sainz & Ocon have suffered car damage due to the drain covers coming loose.

Jezza13

Oops.

Jezza13

That's one hell of a bump in the track if that's what caused the Ferrari to fail.

Big jolt.

So just watched the opening ceremony & the main take away for me was how much Steve Perry has changed

Some trivia: Which was the last F1 Grand Prix to take place on a Saturday? I can't see how this "Saturday" race will increase interest in F1 in the US, since all of its activities will occur after midnight each day (qualifying starts at nearly 3am for east coast viewers). https://www.espn.co.uk/f1/...

Not being a time traveler, it's a problem I frequently experience for years that haven't begun yet. I have the same problem with past years as well. It's like I'm stuck in an impossibly fleeting moment in time. Time loop? Maybe your flux capacitor is broken... Perhaps you might need to make some sl...

Wondering if there's any differentiation between the team owner principal (Tyrrell, Brabham, Dennis, Williams etc) & the team employee principal (Horner, Todt, Briatore)?

Extra credits for the team owner principal ?

Does anyone remember Placid who was around about 5-10 years ago? He/she mostly posted obituaries in an "In Memoriam" thread they'd make every year & was very active in keeping us up to date with who'd bought the farm that week.

The owner of a small, but for those of us who were around in the mid 80's, a fondly remembered part of F1 history has passed on. https://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/other/zakspeed-founder-erich-zakowski-passes-away-at-age-89/ar-AA1jnyDh?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=d9732376e09f45189ac876e25214f534&ei=11 The epito...

Is the telecast using canned cheering again or is it genuine ?

Jezza13

The year started badly for Horner, he really doesn’t want his drivers battling for wins, this issue was soon addressed poor driving by Checo or some other reason, who knows. Let’s see what next year brings, one thing’s for sure I don’t see RB dominance going anywhere until we have another rule chan...

Jezza13

Checo who had good pace throughout Q1 & Q2 got real unlucky. Even the RB team waited till eternity to send him out for the final run even when rain was possible anytime. He probably was the only driver that suffered because of Piastri's spin & the yellow flag in S3. However, today is another opport...

I guess we may never see verstappen in a battle against a competitive team mate

At least not while he's at RB but really, hasn't that been their MO since the Vettel days?

Jezza13

Why won't they stick around? You never know, maybe those replacement(s) follow F1 for the next 40 years. Long after you've stopped. They watch like me because they like the structure of sport as it is now, also the mentality of a younger person can be different, we hear of the 5 minute attention sp...

Jezza13

I wouldn’t mind this ruling by the stewards if they didn’t imply you could not stop in the pitlane in the first place. Why say now it’s ok?! My guess is that the rationale is that in Singapore, Verstappen should have been penalised because there was no need for him to stop at the end of the pit lan...

Jezza13

Should we say, perez did announce his retirement today ? Well it was predicted in the rumour thread, though maybe not in the way it was announced. Rumour: Big unofficial news I read about Checo on Reddit. A user & his friends were told by a Escudería Telmex Ex high ranking employee at a dinner part...

Again: HAM, NOR, RIC

Yup

Jezza13

Had the feeling for years that the team knows how to build, or copy, a car, but they've no idea how to develop a car.

Jezza13

I'm assuming Lawson is Ricciardo.

Hamilton, Norris & Lawson/Ricciardo.

Jezza13

Perez out qualified by Ricciardo on merit at his home race. Talk about salt in wounds. To be fair there is not much between ver-ric-per . If anything this looks even worse for Verstappen. Need to see how the race goes... I really don't think that'd be much comfort to Perez. Verstappen's not the one...

Jezza13

Verstappen has a valid point that now that there is a minimum lap time, only way to create a gap to next car is to do it by going slow on pit exit. So he may not get a penalty if they can show that he only slowed down just enough to crate a gap to the next car. This is basically moving the build up...

Jezza13

Things change. Older "traditional" fans die off, you have to replace them if you want to continue. I was reading that the philosophy is of continuing to find new fans to replace old fans, that even means that fans found today may need replacing by new fans in 10 years time. When you have something ...

Jezza13

But it's not going to be canned. I believe the saying is don't let the perfect be the enemy of the mildly less terrible. I'm not sure if they are going to canvass the fans because there's several suggestions being put out to what they might do to change the sprint format which is not the success th...

By the way, middle east example is not a good one.

In the world at large we have both "leaders" and "followers". Each is valuable, and without both, nothing good happens. Normally, I'd agree with you. But every F1 driver is theoretically a leader; their goal is to win for themselves, not support anyone else. A driver reduced to supporting their tea...

I think there's every reason to belittle it. Do you not think it's a tad hypocritical that he believes new teams should conform to diversity hire quotas while apparently current teams, including his own, are exempt, especially when his boss just has appointed a straight, white male as his deputy ? ...

Jezza13

Does it really surprise you? His boss has been the most vocal opponent of theirs (and Lewis' "support" is just him agreeing as usual with whatever social media says). No it doesn't surprise me at all, nothing that Hamilton ever says is without intent. It is a bit like the support that some football...

Kudos to Hamilton being just about the only driver brave enough to break with his teams line and saying Andretti entering F1 would be great. This didn’t age well with Hamilton already backtracking on his comments. https://www.planetf1.com/news/lewis-hamilton-andretti-u-turn Does it really surprise ...

Dang, what is this hate against the Strolls ? Father saved a team and put it back in top 3. Son did alright for most part. Is it because they are filthy rich and got richer due to their success ???
