All of us are partially blind in both eyes, but we go through life without being aware of it. The area we cannot see is an oval shaped area to the right of where we are looking with our right eye and to the left of where we are looking with our left eye. Your brain fills in the area you cannot see ...

This incident reminds me of the 1994 Imola race at which Senna died. The start was botched by Pedro Lamy running up the back of a stalled JJ Lehto. Lamy, qualified 22 (11th row), had all the time in the world to miss 5th place (3rd row) qualifier Lehto, but didn't. I believe a spectator in the upper...

Boring is a relative term. If you think today's racing is boring, perhaps some of you will remember Jackie Stewart's 2-lap victory over Bruce McLaren at the 1969 Spanish GP. Or for you kiddies, the 2-lap margin by Damon Hill over Olivier Panis at the 1995 Australian GP. Many of these older races wer...

Well, it will put paid to Alonso's F1 career... He'll have a helmet so big that it will not fit through the halo.

Oh, Snap... There's something positive about that halo afterall.

why is it selfish? I get the arrogance, although to be fair he was answering a question put to him, so one could argue he was merely being candid. But how is it selfish? Throughout his career, regardless of team, Alonso has never offered an ounce of respect for his teammates. Never. He has always c...

So, today, Alonso tells Nate Saunders, "(he) rates himself as one of the best drivers to have ever graced the Formula One grid." Well, he gets a 10.5 rating for selfishness, and an 11 for arrogance, in my book. His inflated opinion of himself is bested only by the current American President. Alonso'...

Are F1 drivers paid too much? Yes they are. But the teams are paid too much, too. The sanctioning body and the promoters take too much, too. It's the whole package. Everyone is paid too much. The result? The price of a Formula One ticket is beyond insane. Normal families of five don't go to F1 races...

Nothing but sour grapes from Hamilton and Alonso. Never heard them complain when they won at Monaco in the past. Hamilton has won dozens of boring races like Spain 2018 which was worse than Monaco IMO. Completely agreed. I enjoyed the race an further enjoyed how Ricciardo managed his car. Had Senna...

Rosberg is retired, Bottas isn't. So obviously Bottas is the better talent.

Remember, in F1 you're only as good as your last performance. If Enzo were still alive, he would put everyone straight on this.

SC too slow? Well, I thought that was the idea behind a safety car.

The drivers can belly ache about other things. But the SC is there to slow and control the pace of the field when needed, and all trailing cars are treated the same. So deal with it.

Although Bernie has made some questionable decisions while in charge of F1, I don't think his passion for the sport has ever been in doubt. I'm glad that he bought the McLaren: at least it's gone to an undoubted enthusiast Agreed. American Indycar has taken several steps backwards through the years...

Basically they set a precedent, that you can knock another car out and get away with just a 10 second penalty. Such scenario could come in handy many times, especially when a championship is on the line later on. Back in the 60's-70's, you didn't dare knock out another car, because it could mean yo...

Not a fan of the 10-second penalty. It's a real penalty when enforced during a pit stop... 10-seconds added to the length of the stop itself. Much less a penalty when added as time at the end of a race. Verstappen's 10-second penalty in China amounted to an inconvenience, more than a penalty, as he ...

1. Ricciardo, for his aggressive, but fair and safe passes to win... I doubt Verstappen is mature enough to learn some pointers. 2. Bottas, for his pole, pacing 90% of the race successfully, and gallant effort to hold off (for a while) Ricciardo. 3. Kimi Raikkonen, for his aggressive charge towards ...

I have no problem with people voicing their opinions. After all, every forum (on any hobby) is based on opinions. There is no right or wrong answer on any topic. Where I think people cross lines is when they insult first, prior to -- or in conjunction with -- voicing an opinion... such as, "you obvi...

Add in the fact you've Alonso, a driver who is still considered the best on the grid by some people (myself included) there as well, as well as the man who is thought to have the best chance at challenging whatever records Hamilton and Vettel eventually end their careers with, and it's a pretty spe...

I know there is the tendency to compare the two, but honestly, sometimes I think we should just step back and enjoy the fact that we've got Hamilton and Vettel racing at the same time, and more recently in direct competition with each other. I mean this is literally the first time in F1 history tha...

Driver ability aside, I feel the nuance in the OP is that "kettle" doesn't get his due because he's a German driver who formerly made his bones in a Teutonic team (licensed in Austria with home track there, too), and now racing for the Ferrari, based in Italy. Vettel really doesn't have any British ...
