Toby.

I predict a Red Bull driver will stand on the top step on Sunday.

Toby.

One a successful engineer who lead design teams at Bennetton and Ferrari that won World Championships. The other, at three teams over 20 years. Which is the better F1 engineer and why? Which one would win in a bar fight and why?

Toby.

I don't think it's that unlikely - in fact at this point I've tipped them as outsiders to win it. Hungaroring has historically favoured the Red Bull car, even in recent years. It's also proven to be one of Ricciardo's best tracks (along with Monaco).

Toby.

Great commitment, Mayhem. They really need to update how quickly the competition updates. I'd have thought it were as simple as typing in the results and then a program apportions all the points.. Alas, not. Congrats How F1. To get the top four correct is pretty impressive. I was stoked just to get ...

Toby.

On top of the retirements for Ricciardo already mentioned from this year, he had a haul of rotten luck at the back end of last year too. The two finished on remarkably close points because Max made 57 points in races Ricciardo suffered mechanical failures (Abu Dhabi - Hydraulics; Mexico - Turbo; USA...

Toby.

I’ve wondered why they haven’t incorporated the driver eye view in the world feed yet. Other motor sports use it so why not F1??? They had been getting there in recent years. I reckon the introduction of the halo has probably put that camera on the backburner though. Liberty does seem to be bringin...

Toby.

What was with the horn sounding with every light coming on at the start of the race? I was half expecting a high pitch one when they all went out, ala Mario Cart.

Toby.

The fact nothing has come out regarding Raikkonen and Ricciardo's contracts for next year suggests to me there could be more to the Ferrari link than many of us may have believed.

Toby.

Lewis summoned to the stewards hey. Interesting..

One spin and an off (didn't actually see how he ended up off the track) in his first, pretty hectic, rain-affected F1 race. It's forgiveable.

Toby.

"For those that don't know me, now they do".............. One things for certain, I know a spoiled excuse of a racing driver when I see one and LUCK is a fickle mistress............., he will never be top of my list. Drove pretty well regardless. Even if he'd finished second it'd have been a great ...

Toby.

Last night, as I gazed upon my television and the marvelous colours and sounds coming from it, I chanced upon an idea that at the time I reasoned was too genius to not follow up. It was during qualifying, dear friends, that I envisioned the solution to Formula One's greatest modern foe - the dreaded...

Toby.

I'm not sure it's right to presume it's Codemasters that is forcing the drivers to do the video quickly, either. It'd make a lot more sense to me if it were the F1 drivers who couldn't be bothered doing virtual laps for an hour just to piece together a really good one. There probably isn't much exci...

Toby.

Thanks for correcting me, mds.

Good stats. I think what I was really thinking was the hard compound (and super hard, as you explained) seemed unnecessary compounds. The insurance point makes sense though.

Toby.

Can't believe it's taken this long to bring up this one. It was obviously the way to go when they started adding a couple of new compounds every year. I preferred it with Bridgestone when there were the unmarked tyre and the tyre with the white ring. That was as simple as simple could be. Though now...

Toby.

I knew the Baku corner was tight, but I didn't realise it was that tight!

Toby.

I think the idea is a farce. It would only serve to confuse the vast majority of F1 viewers. The more avid of fans, such as most of those on F1 forums, will know the truth. I'd prefer to forget trying to trick people into thinking they are buying an Alfa or Infinity that is developed by F1 teams......

Is that correct? By my calculations it's Verstappen (452) to Ricciardo (526).
That's total points at Red Bull. Since Max signed his new contract is only since mid-2017.

My edit was seconds too slow!

Edit: Oh, wait. You must mean since he signed this new contract.

Toby.

Nice one, Exediron.

Get a load of this guy.. #1 result in the world.. #deflated

Toby.

I think the reason why I didn't choose Williams was because I re-read Mark Webber's autobiograpy last night - Chapter "It can't be happening...". He said he went to Williams because well...ITS WILLIAMS and Sir Frank. But he said once he was there, he could see that Sir Frank and other senior member...

Toby.

Put them both in the same car this year. Who would come out on top? And by how much?

Toby.

*Grosjean to be dumped from Haas before the end of the season.
*McLaren to podium in Singapore
*Ricciardo to sign with Ferrari for 2019

Toby.

Having the Renault engine might be the way to go next year, given it seems the Honda engine might not be as improved as it appeared at times earlier this year. Honda engine too slow for Toro Rosso to score points – Gasly Perhaps Ricciardo isn't convinced Red Bull has made the right move for 2019.

Toby.

Hamilton apparently wouldn't have been able to get pole without his biggest fans from what he said after he got it. His biggest fans seem to be at every race according to him. So he should maybe get pole everywhere :D And god, don't forget. It was nice of god to help Hamilton to all his F1 wins, bu...

Toby.

I have posted my comment in planetf1.com regarding this subject, so I just copy and paste it here: Why not just make the F1 scoring system like Golf? You finish first you get 1 point, you finish second you get 2 points, you finish third you get 3 points, and so on until the last person on the track...

Toby.

I disagree with the proposal. I also didn't want to see points down to 10th when it was brought in, but this is a whole different level of bad. Soon it'll be like those other series where drivers finish the season with 3000 points. Points should be awarded for success, not for making it to the end. ...

Toby.

Good on him

Hopefully he's able to match the amount of support he's getting at the moment and keeps his career going forward.

Toby.

Marquez is a beast. Much as I like to see the old guard stand up to the young pretender and keep him in check, the guy is consistently incredible. If he wins the title this year he'll have five to his name, and he'll only be 25-years-old. If he did that I'd love to see him switch to F1 and try make ...

If that is how the haas performs in Silverstone I May have to reconsider putting him in my predictions this week.

He clearly didn't want to hang around and do a second lap!

Toby.

The top 10 drivers I tipped in the race were the top 10 drivers in qualifying. I was confident I was on for an absolute haul of points.

Then... 9 points.

Toby.

Absolutely. I've become a big MotoGP fan the last couple of years because the first handful of races I watched were absolutely enthralling. One of the first ones I watched had a lead change six or seven times on the last lap, and I couldn't stop myself from wondering why F1 isn't like that. Last wee...

Toby.

I knew it was a bad idea to watch the F1 expecting something exciting after watching that amazing MotoGP race half an hour before.

Toby.

It's not exactly a bold prediction. At around the half-way point in the season Hamilton and Mercedes are leading the championship. You're probably right.

Toby.

Last year's race was a bit of a snore fest from memory so I'm not holding high hopes.

Toby.

Based on all the quotes it seems the team does rotate the front driver every race weekend. Max was ahead in Paul Ricard, Daniel was in front in Salzburg. However owing to the short nature of the track this weekend, Ricciardo felt like Max, rather than going second and having the advantage of extra r...

Toby.

Hopefully this F2 race is an indication of how exciting the F1 will be.

Toby.

UnlikeUday wrote:Leclerc kind of disappointed. He should've qualified higher. I think he damaged his front wing in turn 9 which hampered his 2nd run. Tomorrow will be a good test for him.

Still comfortably ahead of his team-mate.

Toby.

Sounds like some confusion was a-happening. Maybe Dan's trying to squeeze an extra few million out of Red Bull..

Though did anybody else see the irony in Verstappen calling Ricciardo undisciplined while directly disobeying a team order?

Toby.

Any grid penalties this race?
