Now that there is peace in our time, there is no further need to continue this back and forth. If it continues, the thread will be locked.

You are now free to explore this concept without the confines of it being the official Sir Lewis thread...

Andrew Benson is saying that Larbalestier will be a middle name: https://twitter.com/andrewbensonf1/status/1503405413080911873?s=21 If Benson is correct, Crofty and Brundle will be breathing a sigh of relief. No. He's got to make it his last name now. I've changed the thread title. Edit - as he's n...

Lewis Hamilton is going to incorporate his mothers name in the future to race under 'Hamilton-Larbalestier' in the 2022 season.

I have updated the name of the thread accordingly.

With testing now complete it is time to make your prediction on the order of the teams. The prediction will be based on the fastest car from each team (before grid penalties) in qualifying, assuming no unusual circumstances. This is a prediction of pace, so should not include reasoning such as "I th...

Maybe I'm being obtuse, but attempting to noodle back to the Forum Rules and discerning the salient differences seems a bit onerous. I'm not asking for a literal "diffmark", but perhaps a bit of extra context (or at least a link) would be more effective in getting the point across to those us us wh...

Updated 1.2 to clarify its application regarding certain types of posts that it covers.

Added 1.15 to specifically mention derailing threads (this was always a rule, but it is now explicitly mentioned)

Now all the liveries have been revealed we can have a vote to decide the best. With the exception of Haas (who had to have a last minute livery change) I have chosen to use the official tweets that each team provided for their livery launch as this is how the teams have decided they want their liver...

Why are you asking me? I'd suggest you ask the one who decided this. (It wasn't me) Because it implies that it is not only about downvotes because of Masi's AD desaster - as you claimed. It looks likely that it is also about downvotes because of Verstappen's driving (brake-testing and stuff). You c...

I get you, but this is what happens with polls here. You get Maylander winning some DOTD votes! Everyone will have votes that they don't agree with, but that's not the point. The point is that everyone votes fairly. But you can't argue with Beleriand's post that people downvoted Max to the extreme,...

Ah yes I'm sure none of the people anonymously voting the title protagonists way down the order to influence the poll result will do so again :D The comments made were that people voted when they were still angry. So, if that theory is correct, those people will either be less angry now, or less mo...

Ok, well let's redo the poll, but only accounting for the first 20 races (Bahrain to Qatar)

This topic will be locked and the conversation can continue in the new thread:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16615

Due to some comments that the events of Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi may be unduly influencing the poll, how do you rank the Drivers Performances for the Bahrain to Qatar Grand Prixs? EDIT Note, this is NOT the 'official' result of the annual poll, but rather a response to the general discussion ongoi...

can we have this made into one of those lovely Polls?

Done

It's not just ranking the car performance, as that's basically going to end up in the same mess that exists in the other ranking poll as one group rank their rival's car as fastest and their driver's car as midfield in an attempt to make their driver's effort look the more impressive. However, while...

Happy new year.

Let's kick it off by reflecting on last year.

This thread is for discussing your rating for the entire grid, not getting bogged down in the repetitive Max vs Lewis discussion we have seen discussed to death all season. And I have pruned this thread back to when it was still vaguely on topic. In this vein, I have done some analysis of my own ra...

This thread is for discussing your rating for the entire grid, not getting bogged down in the repetitive Max vs Lewis discussion we have seen discussed to death all season. I have moved all the recent posts on that debate into its own thread here: https://forum.planetf1.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1659...

Is it possible/acceptable to publish a histogram of places voted for each driver in this poll? It could be a graphic, or better of course, a table so that people are could performs some analysis. No identity to any votes of course. In any kind of data science / data analysis, there are techniques t...

If the poll results look unusual after a significant number of votes, we will rerun the poll in the New Year once people have had change to reflect on the situation. We will also delay running the more important overall ranking poll, as that is often used as a point of reference of the forum opinion...

This poll was done first, because the regular "rank the drivers" poll usually gets confused by people who think it is a season performance rather than general performance. There are always people who find excuses to vote down their favourite driver's main rival, but as the results are averaged, thes...

It's that time of year. The sorted poll to rank the drivers 2021 season performance. (Note, we will be running the generalised 'how do you rank the drivers in general' poll later) The mid-season poll returned the following result: 1 Norris 2.02 2 Verstappen 2.63 3 Hamilton 3 4 Leclerc 5.1 5 Sainz 6....

A reminder that this thread is for general Max Verstappen posts, including congratulating him on his performance this season. It's not for analysing the races - those should be done in the appropriate threads and some posts relating to today's race have been moved to the offical race thread.

One point that should be made is that after the race, there are going to be groups of people whose driver won, and groups of people whose driver lost. Kicking people while they are down is not on, so don't expect any leniency if 'your' driver wins and you use that as an excuse to beat down on the su...

Nobody questionning the integrity of Mr Masi ? I did on here after the last race and suggested a hypothetical scenario but the mods deemed it to be out of line and called slanderous when I did so I’ll refrain from stating so again. I guess a Verstappen Cheerleader is the best I can say without rece...

A reminder not to name call the drivers. You can criticise their driving or their attitude, but let's try to keep the posting standard on this forum to a higher level than the driving etiquette seen on track yesterday.

Be as critical of his race craft as you want, but let's not resort to name calling or insults.

Wow! So much hate for Verstappen. It's almost as if he's the bad guy Oh wait! This is Verstappen's thread, I thought using the platform of an official thread to slag off the thread's subject was bad form... We’re discussing about Verstappen in the official Verstappen thread. What’s the problem? Bat...

The Williams Vs Benetton stuff was getting wildly off topic, so it has been moved to its own thread:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16532

A memorial thread is not the place for negative discussion. And immediately after his passing is not really the time either. It's a rule that Official Threads for individuals are not places for negative posting, so common sense should apply that goes double for a memorial thread. If the controversy...

This thread is not about revisiting the Silverstone collision for the 42,096th time.

They're kind of annoying. When I quote a post it's because I want to indicate what it is that I'm directly replying to. I don't think it's necessary to recap the entire conversation so far in every post - if anything it makes the thread harder to follow and TBH I resent the effort of having to edit...

Just a note that until Max is judged to be guilty, he is innocent, and therefore accusations of it being deliberate must be clearly stated as your opinion rather than as a matter of fact. But I was stating my opinion on the incident, so slightly confused by this response. This is general comment in...

Provisionally unlocking this topic, give Ricciardo's performance at the most recent race - but if it resumes the trend before the locking, then we will take take action against that.

We are setting the framework for the new debate squad, if people interested in joining the teams would like to PM either me, or the PF1 Mod Team account, then we can prepare a list of names for the team captains.

We hope to do a trial run after the Italian GP.

*Wonders how I can best wind up the newbies*

Hey new mods. Remember how I was telling you to look out for people to 'practice' on?

Split the Kimi related discussion into its own thread - here:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16425

Please continue that line of discussion there and use this thread for the Mercedes vs Red Bull discussion.
