Anyone remember the 2005 Spanish Grand Prix? Raikkonen won, Alonso second. The same day, Ollie Bearman was born.

Wishing sweet Sainz all the best for a speedy recovery. Good thing is there's no racing next weekend. I remember when I had my appendix removed, I was advised not to take part in any sporting activity for 3 months. Am sure Science & medical procedures have improved since then & we can expect Sainz ...

Well Horner has come out quite punchy re: the need to now move on from this subject and forget about it. I saw the BBC website is suggesting the accuser has been suspended for being "dishonest", but whether that is in her accusations or something that has happened after the investigation isn't spec...

I did tell you all that Bearman would be the next guy to drive for Ferrari not names Leclerc or Sainz.

A lot of journalists are currently rethinking their 'Hamilton becomes the first Brit to drive for Ferrari in years' pieces right now.

JN23

So no Bearman in F2 for the rest of the weekend - puts him at a disadvantage in the championship but what an opportunity for him.

JN23

Big news is that Carlos Sainz has appendicitis and will undergo surgery. Oliver Bearman will take his place for the rest of the weekend.

Now, where have I heard this before

JN23

Maybe not the place to ask this (sorry Mods), but what happened for Schumacher to go from winning 12/13 at the start of 2004 to then only win 1/5 after that? Did he phone it in after winning the title with four races to go? Spa he lost because the very cold track temperatures did not work for the B...

Hey folks, been away poorly for a while.

I noticed you'd been missing from this thread - hope you're feeling a bit better

I think the circuit is fantastic. It's just not in a scenic location. I'll give it another look (obviously ;) ) and report back what I think when it is fresh in my mind. Well I have now watched half an hour of FP2 and the positive thing that I can mention is that I quite like the straight. Apart fr...

I'm sure Horner very much wishes this go away but him stating he wants to move on from it doesn't make it so. It'll continue to rumble on and if the girl feels she's been suspended unfairly then she look at legal options. I think if Ford were p***ed off before then they will be even more annoyed no...

A lot of non-F1 UK media (Sky News, The Sun, Daily Mai, Daily Telegraph) reporting that Horner’s accused has been suspended. Nothing from F1 media as far as I can see. Without some context/a statement from Red Bull, that is really not a good look for them (Red Bull). Yep agreed. All they’ve said is...

Question for Jenson... Hamilton has now lost two TMWs in a row, this race and the last race of 2023. How many times in the history of TMW has that happened? I think this thread started in 2018, so at a guess: 2018, Bahrain-China-Azerbaijan. Probably Bottas' best run of performance against Hamilton....

One of my favorite race tracks on the calendar. Waiting to see how strong Ferrari & McLaren will be especially the latter as they excel in fast speed corners.

I htimk Red Bull need to fire Jos Verstappen from… Oh wait, he's not an employee and he could easily have his paddock pass revoked, and even if his son applies for one for him, Red Bull can have him banned from entering any of their spaces, and I think that's th emost sensible thing.

We’ve already had a cracking start to silly season with Hamilton going to Ferrari out of nowhere, and there’s hopefully still some exciting moves ahead. If Verstappen leaves Red Bull though, it’s going to be an all timer of a silly season.

A penny for Newey's thoughts Shame he's seemingly one of the only high ranking members of Red Bull with any kind of professionalism so likely we won't hear anything from him Newey is also probably the only single person with the gravity to definitively conclude this one way or the other.

In terms of something I learnt, Gasly said his relationship with Ocon is the best it has been in years, which was nice. The way they portrayed the Alpine's crashing in Australia was typical DTS. They portrayed it as something that happened because it was Gasly vs Ocon and their history meaning they ...
