Re: A quick analysis of mercedes upgrades.
I hate to rain on your parade, but that was before the budget cap, where Mercedes could pour an endless amount of resources (money) into development. It isn't my parade as I'm not a Mercedes fan; just want closer racing, that's all. The budget cap was in place last year too and we saw Merc improvin...

Re: PF1 Forum teammate wars vote: Canada 2023
Hamilton should have beaten Alonso's ailing AM. Russell made an error but then fought like a lion to recover in a damaged car - Not what I think, but I can except that a few people might think something along those lines without having to accuse them of being disingenuous.

Re: Driver(s) of the day - 2023 Canadian Grand Prix
Not good on norris for deliberately slowing down other drivers in the pit lane entry. Yeah don't understand the votes for Norris on here; he tried something unsporting and got a penalty for it and came home with 0 points. Yet some think it is DotD worthy. I have not seen the manoeuvre but going del...

Re: 2023 Spanish Grand Prix Race Thread
I think the Mercs will have to pit. Max probably won't want to until they do just to maintain track position. He likely will before the end for fastest lap though

Verstappen and Verstappen. Alonso puts on inters on his first stop and he wins That was all commentator hype. Max was 8 seconds in front and never in danger.

Alonso potentially had that. I think it might have been just the right time to switch to the inters.

Quite a big side impact that. Wonder if the chassis is okay.
Looked like he was going waaay too fast to make the corner.

Nobody is pitting for fastest lap with that tight a gap. A pit stop +5-6 secs safety margin seems to be the norm Look very silly if a wheel nut gets stuck for 2-3 seconds. True.

Slow Zones would negate the majority of SC situations whilst still allowing racing around three-quarters or more of the circuit.
