Inside News: F1 threatens to block venues with a view to Las Vegas GP if they don’t pay. Liberty Media sent letters to restaurants, bars and clubs charging them $1500/head licensing fee or they will use barricades and blinding lights to block the customers peeking at the race. https://nypost.com/20...

Overtaking was very possible last year, Red Bull's DRS is incredibly powerful and Merc is typically slow on the straights. I dont see it being a problem at all Interestingly on this... Both Hamilton and Vasseur have said this weekend that Red Bull's super duper DRS advantage seems to have vanished....

Wow. well over 50% of this thread that is 6 pages long has been way off topic. To get it back on, I'll say a few things. Since I've been paying for NowTV for access to Sky, I've found the team of presenters to be about the worst I've known. It isn't always the people themselves, but just how Sky so...

Today advertisements started to appear on the topic list. One ad is displayed between every 4-8 topic titles. The experience is horrendous. I understand PF1 likes to be profitable, but it is not like the ads that already were in place weren't annoying enough. Especially on mobile devices. Yeah it's...

De Vries with Toto Wolff in Monaco today:

LMAO that does not look like Toto..?!

Really? That looks exactly like Wolff to me, or have I missed a joke?

Jezza13

For my part, I don't understand why anyone posting news to any thread on this site really but especially this one can't simply post a link directly to the source of that news. Maybe I'm being pedantic here, but I've always felt it helps in moving the conversation along while removing as much specula...

What’s this going to do for Perez’s confidence knowing the wolfs now officially at the door?

Well that was fun while it lasted.

Did Piastri not have the upgrades? I thought it was confirmed that he did this weekend. First I've heard that is this thread. But if Piastri didn't that is performance of the season. He's really growing on me and excellent to see McLaren do well. Could turn out to be the best combination of drivers...

I think Red Bull will keep Perez for next year but almost by default, because they won’t be able to get in a driver that is definitely going to be an improvement. However, if Red Bull do make a change for 2024, then I think that is a sign that they are worried about the impact of the cost cap penal...

Wouldnt be surprised that RB is way ahead in '26 designs and development and actually correct with these complaints. Other teams may be clueless at this point, similar to porpoising surprise they got last year. Especially Merc/Toto still doesnt know what to do with '22 regulations, let alone '26. I...

Jezza13

Their stories do worry me though. I would hate to see drivers going off throttle halfway down the Monza straight because it would be faster over the entire lap. It would be worrying if multiple manufacturers were reporting this from their sims but given its only RBPT, who have never made an engine,...

Race is done now then I guess

Can anyone clarify what norris penalty was for?
Backing cars up under the SC for a double stack in the pits.

And really, race was done in the first corner. The only interest is who gets the scraps.

Edit: That's what Crofty said so maybe disregard that.

Looks dicey for Hamilton but I think Alonso overplayed it a bit.

Norris is a slam dunk penalty though.

Hulk is under investigation for going too fast under a red flag. 3 places for speeding under the red flag after his P2 lap, so will start 5th. Alonso & Hamilton, along with most of the F1 viewing public, will be breathing a sigh of relief. Sad for Hulkenberg but let's face it, makes the race, well ...

He had the opportunity to get pole position and blew it. There was no race and FIA awarding/gifting a win doesn't make it a race. Seriously, does the worshipping of Verstappen has to go so far to call this farce a race and a GP win? It literally would have been a GP win. Norris blew a potential win...

I mentioned this in the Monaco race thread but I think Alice Powell's got a bright future in commentary.

She came across a knowledgable, measured & articulate. Would be a good replacement for Brundle when he eventually call it quits.

Jezza13

Yes that's very interesting and Verstappen this year will equal Senna's 3 world titles. Verstappen is presently 1 year older then when Senna entered F1 and of course will achieve more, however I do believe if Senna had not been killed he would have achieved far more than he did, I would be looking ...

Jezza13

All things being equal, Red Bull will win every race, such is their advantage. It'll only be through upset conditions that anyone else will stand a chance. Also, as unlikely as it may seem, i'd not be surprised to see Verstappen clean sweep the rest of the season too. I know it's a long shot with 15...

Seen some rumours that there is interest in reviving A1GP, the self-titled "World Cup of Motorsport". Suggested 12 races across Europe, America, Middle East, Africa, and Asia running Dec-Jul. Cars would be somewhere around F2/Indy Nxt level from what I've read and at least one feature I read sugges...

But you didn't? Verstappen and Verstappen. Alonso puts on inters on his first stop and he wins Maybe, but probably Verstappen would have still been ahead narrowly. But the issue was about why people (forumers) seem to lose interest. And I think it plays a role that you know on Thursday who is gonna...

Got to say just watching the F2 & F3 races, i'm impressed by the commentary stylings of Alice Powell.

Once she's done with racing, I think she'd make an excellent full time addition to the F1 commentary team

But would Ricciardo want to drive that car? It's not even a strong midfield car. Moreover, I wonder if he's really ready, he said in Beyond the Grid podcast last November that he wants to sit the season out to rethink if he really wanna give it another shot or do something else. I say the gossip wi...

God, that race was dull. Are you sure you watched the right channel? Fighting up and down the field, lots of overtaking but it was often not easy and even an overtake for the lead. Sure, it won't be in anyone's top 5 races of the decade but it was not a "dull" F1 race. Glad you enjoyed it. But for ...

Verstappen & the Merc boys.

Yeah he has all the advantages but that was a sublime, clinical display by Verstappen. Nice drive.

Russell & Hamilton drove well to finish 4th & 6th respectively.
