I once asked Arnold Palmer if he ever bet on the golf course. He said to me "Larry, I don't need any of their money and I sure as #### don't want them to have any of mine!". Though I'm nowhere near as flush as Arnie was at the time I agree. I think I was significantly impacted by The Flintstones S2E...

Not going to look good for F1 or Hamilton if a second rate driver steps in then bags pole and the win Not true, it looks bad for Bottas. Hamilton is extracting the full potential of a great car, plenty of drivers have failed to extract the potential from a dominant car: Hill, Villeneuve, Hakkinen, ...

LBET

Bottas has had bad luck in several races, it's his to lose this weekend. Exactly! Both he and Max are under the pressure of expectations it's just a different kind of pressure. 1) Can VB win with the best car on the grid? (probably yes) 2) Can MV's driving acumen bring the car home in 1st despite t...

Lance has been cleared by the stewards. His pole stands! (you know what I mean).

Congrats to Lance for a masterful drive. Needs to say the start of tomorrows race will be interesting.

The way for Haas to go should be Hulkenberg and a young driver. Mick Schumacher is favourite for one seat. Having two kids wouldn't be a good idea. I think we all knew Grosjean was going, but I thought KMag had a chance of staying. KMag's full of the red mist mate. Full! His comment to Hulk on live...

The formula is clearly broken. What happened to the days of skirts, fans and 6 wheeled cars? Why don't they just outlaw wings? (Hmmmm?) What happened is that the skirts could fail over a tiny bump in the asphalt and the car would lose all downforce, spearing off suddenly into a tree and killing its...

BLM is a great marketing organization run by proud Grouchos and is also very misguided. In speaking out against the nuclear family, omitting fathers from the equation and doing very close to nothing to stop the epidemic level of the murder of blacks by blacks they have missed the mark by a non-trivi...

No. Equality of opportunity does not mean equality of outcome...nor should it.

The formula is clearly broken. What happened to the days of skirts, fans and 6 wheeled cars? Why don't they just outlaw wings? (Hmmmm?). There's a reason why the best are the best and you introduce handicaps to limit their bestiness. What's next, Yorkshire forced to play with balsa wood bats, Pinbal...

Honorable mention to Max and Checko.

Same here. In that order.

Readers Digest: Sorry for the long response. You can bypass my life story and pico-whinge on BLM and just jump to the 3 links below. Hi everyone.

I think engine map changes are quite alright. This is part of the tool kit for engineers to work with. My car/engine is better than yours is intrinsic to the DNA of formula 1 FFS.

Great start Lance! Nearly paved the way for Perez to get by Bottas.

This isn't a RP problem. This is a FIA problem. They have been total screwups for a long time. The secret ferrari deal got the teams going and now because they didn't do their job now we have the racing point problem. This should not be the headlines in a shortened season. For the die hard fans we ...

Verstappen is going to be very bored this season TSN, here in jolly old Canada, has included 5 or 6 F1 channels showing alternative data. Today they had Max's in car cam. It was one of the most uneventful bits of video i've ever seen. Mercs getting farther and farther away until it was like real ra...

I was wondering how Perez got exposed in the first place....until I read this. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.perez-extremely-sad-as-he-reveals-positive-covid-19-test-followed-visit-to.HA8tKdcBovOHZp3TGPoi4.html Seems he went from Austria to Mexico City to visit his recently hospitalized...

Voted for Lance. Exceptional performance now that he has the car. Couldn't vote for Max but would have gladly voted for Mechanics of the Day for his crew.

Then if drawings have been exchanged as you have said and apparently been alluded to by the fia. Then we have a major problem.

Vettel succumbs to the red mist once again. I suspect he was a little hot at being passed and made a decision to squeeze Chuck. Clearly a part of his head stops working when emotions start to do a job on him.

Because of this, he's gotta go. Much too childish to be piloting a rocket.

Both friends of Hamilton who has just become 6 time world champion.

Hamilton will leave Merc after winning his 7th drivers title title and join Ferrari. He'll win his 8th there.

Ferrari are getting the benefit of the doubt and the FIA breaking so many precedents they previously set. Definitely a poo poo call from the stewards. inconsistent, bordering on favouritism and quite transparently so. A jump start is a jump start if it's an inch or a mile, advantage gained or not. ...

Slightly OT, but was watching the Sky pre-qualy show's interview with Kubica - it was the first time I'd seen the reality of his right arm. Really shocked me that it lacked muscle, looked largely limp, and as if he'd have little grip. Really puts into impressive perspective that he can capably driv...

Forgive my ignorance but what, exactly, is a diversity breach? Is that language based infraction, a slur of some kind, or more like a Canadian Prime Minister wearing blackface?

I wonder what Ron thinks of all of this engine argy bargy? Isn't this just where the team was before the move to Honda before the move to RenRen?

Trick question. The answer is both. The driver has to be able to do what is required to get the most out of the car. If he is not able to adapt his driving style then time is left on the table.

McLaren should have stayed the course with Honda but they did the H a huge favor by dumping them. This is the reality for McLaren now. Second rate chassis, second rate engine I agree. But there seemed to be a process/culture issue with McLaren Honda relationship. But yes, the chitty chitty bang ban...

Wolff has said it was a catalogue of errors in the strategy department, the only part of the team that is not first class, a fast car can often make you look like a genious but then when the race is unpredictable it's headless chicken time, in, in, in, out, out, out, no in, in, in, in, in, in, in. ...
