I noticed the colors, and had to do a double take since the first thing I saw highlighted in yellow was my post inside a nested quote! At first I thought it was calling me out specifically, but it certainly seems easy to differentiate the nested quotes to these young eyes. Yes the quote within the ...

You guys should introduce "meanian"® which would be the mean of the median and mean scores.
Would this meanian report to Gro..?

Another all-female F4 Championship to launch this year . USA this time, by "Exclusive Racing", the people behind Formula Pro USA. Titled Formula Pro WRS, the plan is for a 6 weekend series of double-headers. It will use 2.0L, non-turbo 160HP Ligier F4 car. Aged 14+ but , and here's comes the eyebro...

Interesting way of ranking the drivers, really rewards drivers that are capable of maintaining high form over a long period of time.

BTW where is Kimi in the final rankings? And I believe you should give MSC 34 points?

I, for instance, refuse to believe that RB - who I consider to be the smartest, sharpest, and most competitive team in F1 - to be naive or dumb enough to miscalculate more than a dozen cost categories. The only thing I'd say to this is that the people at RBR who make up the smartest, sharpest, and ...

He's 37 wins behind Schumacher, he's won 34 in the last two years. He needs to win 19 a year (just like 2023) to pass Schumacher by the end of 2025. Is it possible? He just showed it is, plus they'll have two more races on the calendar each of the next two years (China, and Imola cancelled this yea...

I've also begrudgingly accepted that Verstappens a very, very good driver, though until he does what Vettel dared to do & leaves the safe & comfy environs of RB & gets out there to challenge himself, i'll never rate him up there with the Sennas, Prosts, Schumachers & Hamiltons of this world. Versta...

Bottas is on a reported $10M salary at Alfa Romeo. I find the claims that he is not motived quite incredulous to be honest. Why even bother giving him a contract in the first place if he can't be a**ed to give everything every single session and race? It's a matter of personal opinion of course, bu...

At this stage there’s little left to learn about Bottas. He’s gone up against both Hamilton and Massa in his career (two very well established benchmarks, we know exactly how good both are) and we know how he fared against both. At this point in his career, Bottas won’t do anything positive or nega...

Just reading how Russell was struggling in qualifying earlier in the season and comments from Russell that over one lap sometimes the car works for one driver and then the other, the car sounds like it's a temperamental lemon and luckily it's getting binned after this race, it should have been binn...

I’m wondering why everyone seems to think it was harsh for Perez to get the penalty, it was a slam dunk for me. Looking at his onboard he’s turning in, sees Norris on the outside and clumsily tries to adjust to force him wide. In doing so he loses control and hits Norris, simply a driver out drivin...

Why don't they all just get off their high donkeys and have a nice, civilised, discussion over tea and fariycakes?

Hamilton has said he likes it when there’s not many practice sessions during the weekend (like this weekend and sprint weekend). He never actually seems to do very well when there’s a lack of practice. I think he definitely needs all three practice sessions to maximise the pace of the car in qualif...

Ironic thing was Leclerc had to think of a strategy to help Ferrari get P2 in the WCC instead of the pit wall. Had he seen this masterclass from '21, he could've done something more or better. The idea to let Checo pass imo came a bit too late. I think 1 more lap would've gotten Checo third & Lecle...

Superb driver from Leclerc today, loved it. Good to be reminded of the potential that is there, I was really hoping he would be in the mix this year but the TV caption "5 podiums this year" was a stark reminder of just how little as a team they have under achieved. Personally I think they have unde...

Good race and decent track. Great backdrop. I'd keep Las Vegas over e.g. Singapore.

I tried to keep my comments unbiased and still the pantomime stuff crops up. This place is truly as bad as the BBC comments section. Yes I'm not currently watching F1 but am I not allowed to have an opinion? I did watch for nearly 20 years, I even went to Silverstone twice to watch the British GP s...

Hope this event is a total embarrassment. I've never wanted something to fail so badly before. Why? Because it's a cat walk not a race. We're going to spend about as much time looking at and hearing about the celebrities that are in attendance than the racing, even the drivers are being coerced int...

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...

In case any one's interested to see a lap around the Las Vegas track. The humongous straight will see insane top speeds. 1720552925905232116 Does the first corner after the long straight look like a risky spot to anyone else? Thinking of the wall on the right side when two drivers are side by side.

Everyone is saying how great Alonso did, not to take away the podium from him but even Stroll managed a fifth place in the car. :-) I don't think that many are underestimating the speed of the Aston Martin this weekend - more the battle he had with Perez (in a car that is demonstrably faster) in th...

Does anyone remember Placid who was around about 5-10 years ago?

Please can we discuss Perez rather than each other OR exactly what each member meant when they said XYZ.

Yeah good luck with that.

Yeah sorry for causing all the off topic discussion (even if the alternative would've been dead silence...) but to be called a Nazi is a bit uncalled-for.

Fair points. Checo did help win two WCCs though. Not his fault that the help wasn't needed. Maybe a better way to put it is that he was part of two WCC winning teams. I would think the same would apply to Bottas as well, at least for several seasons. If you have a dominant car and an elite #1 drive...

Note: Checo helped RB win two WCCs not one, they won the 2023 WCC a few weeks ago in Japan in case you forgot. The season isn't over yet, but it's quite likely that they would have won the 2023 WCC with only one car. If you rate Checo's driving in Red Bull in terms of 'value over replacement', the ...

Just had to look it up, a pound is 7,000 grains, and an inch is three grains of barley, dry and round, placed end to end lengthwise. So 20 psi would be the equivalent of having 140,000 grains over an square area with a side length of three grains. There's also the old "sucker joke": Which weighs mo...
