Another way to create overtaking would be to cut the power of each car by 10 seconds per lap.
Less air pollution, less noise pollution. The driver has to choose the places he can defend the best.

They might have to stop allowing drivers to shove an overtaking driver off the track.

Let's not underestimate the skill level of overtaking by pressing a button.

We are assured that it will be "spectacular".

Wolff deciding to keep the same driver pairing for 2021 would suggest that he is confident Mercedes will maintain enough of an advantage with the car to win the 2 Championships easily again in 2021.

In 2021, Bottas is the most likely, as he beat Verstappen in 2020 in similar cars to the 2021 cars.
With Wolff confirming Bottas, that suggests that they expect to sign Hamilton. So Bottas would need some misfortune to befall Hamilton if Bottas is to become World Champion.

Some of the Bottas slating is going too far. Yes, today looks a bit embarrassing. At worst he's a top 10 F1 driver. We also can't have it both ways. Russell and Can't be brilliant and Bottas be a total scrub. The fact that Bottas is a good F1 driver is what makes Russell's performance so exciting. ...

Well done on the forecasts - the top 2 forecasts were correct. So Russel was comfortably leading the race until the first pit stop and didn't lose any positions by his fault. The next question is how well will Russell do when he is more comfortable (size-wise) in the car and has time to find out how...

When Salo was brought in to replace Schumacher and was winning the race, he was told to give the victory to Irvine. Mercedes have nothing to gain by putting a driver in the car who can clearly beat Bottas, so it's unlikely that will happen. I'd like to see them put the best driver they can get into ...

A good interview of Lewis Hamilton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOHIPmon91o He's always been a top driver on the track. I'm impressed that he seems to have improved himself off the track - attitude to life and having more purpose - plus he speaks well and doesn't seem to be trying to be someone ...

Unfortunately Verstappen and Hamilton are not driving the same car on equal terms. That is one of the many things that is wrong with F1. It was better in the old days, when the drivers did not have lots of aids and their performance was more dependent on themselves. Normally aspirated engines, suspe...

While I agree with the penalties for Leclerc today, it was hilarious how Verstappen whined for giving him one. I mean, Verstappen who always advocates hard racing when he is on the giving side - but he instantly starts to whine when he is on the receiving end .... Verstappen is the main reason that...

Crazy idea. Maybe the stewards could enforce track limits on the full length of each track, in all sessions- with discretion used where extraordinary circumstances are present. I otherwise don’t know why they both marking track boundaries and referencing them in documentation. There are 2 different...

A question about Leclerc to anyone & everyone! Aren't we seeing a more feisty Leclerc now? I've noticed this change in him after the Austria incident with Verstappen. He had then vowed to change his driving approach in races & not be timid. Almost all the drivers will follow what the rules are perc...

I think there should be a maximum lap time allowed- both for outlaps and another for cooldown laps. Maybe a 120% of a time derived from P1-P3 stats. That seems sensible. It would need to be introduced before a season started, as it may affect the way Pirelli would design their softest tyre. Apart f...

May be a silly/unworkable idea what about a screen at the top of Raidillon for the drivers which shows real time footage of the top of the hill. You wouldn't expect drivers to watch it closely obviously but they would be able to see it in their peripheral vision as they go up the hill and have an i...

Raidillon has been permanently modified before (at least, the runoff has) due to major accidents. I believe Luciano Burti skating over the gravel there and burying himself in the tyres had a lot to do with that. That wasn't at the Raidillon Tufty, but at the entry to Blanchimont. I think the only s...

Its the logical result. Bottas is a good No. 2 driver - and not going to challenge Hamilton. It is only a good decision if Merc produces another fairly dominant car imo. You’d have to think both Ferrari and Redbull will be stronger next year. You have Verstappen, Vettel, Leclerc in those cars. Bott...

As a Hamilton fan I would like to see him challenged. Although it does seem some people just want any other driver no matter who it is, and if that doesn't work, keep chucking more drivers at the problem. The same problem RB face with finding someone to pair up with Max. Indeed even Rosberg I belie...

It does have a corner where forcing another driver off the track has potential. Don't say 'Suck my balls' to the driver afterward though.

Charles said that Silverstone race was his best race of his carrier so far. I think that say it all. There was nothing wrong in Austria. It was just hard racing :) Sorry, I can't see the co-relation.

I do not think he forced him at all. He got the inside line and decides which line to take and make it difficult for Charles. Charles has to go around him and there was no place for it.

And a shame we will never see Lewis -vs- Max head to head in the same car.

Chapter four of appendix L of the FIA sporting code.

In that rule, they say 'or any other abnormal change of d...

I agree that the race should be continuous and the end result should be known at the end of the race. The rules need to be written to make that the likely outcome. They may have to combine that with changes to the track and maybe use of GPS location. Drivers could be given audible warnings of when t...

Yes, particularly with lap 68 being the perfect example of what Max should have been doing. Exactly!

Not the smoothest of overtakes but job done by Verstappen. In my opinion, no penalty - and I'm a Leclerc fan... Absolutely fantastic drive by Max and a truly deserved win. He was bound to pass Charles at some point on the last couple of laps. Still gutted that Leclerc hasn't obtained his first GP v...

The question is; did Max push Charles off the circuit? This larger question is really comprised two questions actually. The first is; was Charles entitled to space on that part of the track? I believe the answer to that question is "yes". When they made contact, their wheels were about level so tha...

Good race. A lot of things came together and the circuit, temperature, penalties, kerbs and a few mistakes mixed the grid up in a fortuitous way.

I have always wanted them to race on the track - so that involves not shoving the other car off the track. That is one of the 'radical' ideas to improve F1 in the other thread. There would be better racing if the drivers were not allowed to shove the other car off the track. It is a low level skill ...

The surprise isn't that Bottas is slower than Hamilton - the surprise is that the difference is less than what was expected.

I do think that there is something in this crowding off the track thing. But it never, ever usually gets penalised. It usually doesn't even get thought of as a possible penalty. Look at this from Hungary 2017 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU72heP0uH0&t=22s Bottas completely crowds Verstappen of...
