Let's have the drivers get acquainted with the circuit by replacing the friday practice with a F3 race. :D There used to be a Champcar driver who would rollerblade around the track in the mornings before practice to familiarise himself. Maybe F1 can adopt this and have a Rollerderby side series? I ...

I don't think Stewart has a valid point, and I'm not sure he particularly likes Hamilton. Stewart might try, but you can't compare the modern and classic era's, whilst the fundamentals are still the same, it's almost a completely different sport. Fangio raced in an era where pushing the car to limi...

Indy and NASCAR regularly match F1 for top speed and all three all left eating the dust of American dragster racing. I don't think Bathurst cars are far off eithger.

What worries me more is the message this is sending out about manufacturer support in F1. If Honda are genuinely just saying the relevance doesn't justify the investment , what does that signify for F1 as a whole where on the other hand you have such significant manufacturer involvement in FE. This...

I’ve been predicting for a few years now that FE and F1 will eventually merge and form 1 series, carry over the history of both sports up until the merger.

Each series has something the other needs. I still stand by this prediction, and think this has become the next piece to fall into the puzzle

Classic Honda. 2nd time in a row they endure years of trials and torment, and pull out when there’s signs of hope.

Do you think there’ll be a next time?

Perez had Telmex backing from the early days of his career, when he first started at Sauber who becomes their main sponsor ...you guessed it Telmex. so you could call them his rich Daddy.

Seems to be a bunch of folks wondering if Team Red is giving Seb the same kind of car they are providing to Charles. When a driver is on his way out of a team, certain things begin to happen. He is barred from technical briefings, so that he may not carry any new "secrets" to any other team. Thus, ...

PM - 2nd Practice Saturday AM - Qualifying PM - Reverse grid race with results counting toward a seperate and less prestigious reverse grid championship S...

Had Williams known the team would only score one more win for the next 16 years and then side to the back of the grid maybe he would have accepted BMW's offer and maybe BMW would have been more reluctant to pull out if they were contractually obliged or closer to the WDC/WCC Sad to think the winnin...

I, however, could not be further from being in agreement. What you're suggesting is a regressive retro championship, not anything to do with Formula 1. There is no performance advantage to using a clutch and an H-pattern shifter; exactly the opposite. It's for enthusiasts who love the feel, not for...

For now, they have no reason to change the name (though Dorilton Capital Racing would be a great name, and in accordance with the world of today), but I would be very surprised if it's still called Williams in a next future, whatever they say or sign right now. I think they will keep the name. Simp...

I became a fan of F1 via Champcars. I was a huge Champcar fan in the mid-90's, particularly Target/Chip Ganassi Racing. When my favourite driver Zanardi went to Williams, I started becoming a casual viewer or F1, just to see how he went. I then became a huge fan of Montoya, so him moving to F1 was t...

I agree that Vettel responds to hugs, and needs to feel the love in order to perform. Would I replace Perez with Vettel? No, but I Would do anything to have Vettel replace Stroll. I think Perez / Vettel would be a decent lineup

I'm reading some rumors that Seb will be announced an AM driver. I'd feel bad for Perez if Vettel does indeed replace him.

I don't have an in-principle objection to reverse grids, but I don't think they belong in Formula 1. To me, a Grand Prix should be a single, highly significant motor race -- one per country, and certainly no more than one per weekend. I think we already have too many Grands Prix. With two races hel...

Yeah reverse grids are a no for me. In all of the series I’ve watched that toyed with reverse grids, one theme keeps coming up, which is cost. Reverse grids tend to result in more crashes, which means more money spent on parts and repairs. The sport can’t talk about cost savings, while on the other ...

There seem to be 2 possible ways of allowing customer cars. Over the long term both seem to me unworkable: 1) Allow top teams to sell their last year's car or plans, so smaller teams can race the car or copy it.

I’m a fan of customer cars, and have been saying for years now it should be allowed in F1. Geowing up watching Indy, Champcar and V8 Supercars, it’s a normal way to go racing.
