A good list here, including some I didn't miss :thumbup: 2003 was before my time watching but it's on my list of races to watch at some point. 2008 & 2009 would be my picks. A sign of how the sport has changed is how few cars break down nowadays, but loads breaking down seemed to be a hallmark of t...

I answered two driver fighting for the WDC, but basically the poll doesn't make sense. It's like asking if you want to see someone compete, or if you would rather have the winner declared in advance. The answer is quite obvious. What I want is a season like 2012, when the first seven races was won ...

Now we’ve seen quali sims in this session, I’m prediting this top six for qualifying: 1. Leclerc 2. Sainz 3. Verstappen 4. Russell 5. Norris 6. Hamilton Perez's poor qualy form will affect him even more this season as other cars seem closer. Verstappen will be able to make the most of his RB20 to s...

Genuine question, is Max slower during the first 4-6 races of the season or is Perez quicker in this period? I have always thought that Ferrari looked so strong at the start of 2022 (first 4 races) was in part to Max not being his usual self and once he had the big gap to Perez Ferrari never domina...

Then, why did Masi/F1 do this ? For sure a finish behind SC would have had a bigger backlash. What happened was just the lesser of the two evils... Do you remember the last time the title was decided behind the SC? Most people need reminding of it, that’s how uneventful and none controversial it wa...

Siao7

Tomato, tomato... Nope... There would have been nothing questionable if Lewis wins behind the SC about fairness as you put it. Rules are clear, all cars must be unlapped, how could you complain that why the RD didnt remove just the cars between Lewis and Max for the sake of fairness, then dont wait...

Siao7

Yes, that is possible but still puzzling. Marko does not have many years to go and he is hardly going to run the team, is he now? I personally never bought into the Horner/Marko power struggle story. Horner may want Marko out of the way in teams of young driver scouting and the like, but that hardl...

A driver who is not having to adapt to anything has an advantage over a driver who is adapting. Again, its not me you're arguing with - its the data we have over numerous team mate comparisons including Hamilton himself when he joined Merc in the first place I think it is a load of nonsense persona...

As much as I disagree with you KV, god damn it man I admire your commitment to your cause. You know, my favourite driver growing up was actually Michael Schumacher. It’s said the driver who leaves the strongest impression on you is the best driver when you were a kid. For me personally, I think tha...

Well, in this case I take the word of those with authority above that of yours. Which I think is not at all an unfair position to take. goto 10. The appeal to authority fallacy is the logical fallacy of saying a claim is true simply because an authority figure made it. I think more than enough for ...

Glad you don't accuse me of making up a rule out of thin air! The stewards may or may not be involved in writing the regulations, but they are the only ones allowed to interpret them during a race weekend. Mercedes could have challenged, but chose not to. But as previously mentioned. Mercedes Only ...

My hunch would be a 3+2, which would be after the first year of the new rules, see where the car stands and then decide what he wants to do, stay or leave.

Monaco. Yes for historical value. Azerbaijan. Yes. Its the 2nd one. Singapore. Yes. 1st night race. Everything else. NO. in a 25 race season. Street tracks will be 25% of the entire season.

I would like F1 to return to the idea that the driver drives the car alone and unaided. That, to me, would mean banning pit-to-car radio and datalinks. While that would cost a number of jobs in mission control centres, that would mean a serious cost reduction at the same time. I would also propose ...

It is no coincidence that 2 of the longest winning streaks came from 2 Red Bull drivers (Vettel and now Verstappen). The dominance of this team(operations, strategy, team dynamics, aerodynamics) is even superior to any kind of dominance Verstappen could have against any driver. I have watched long ...

Siao7

Verstappen wasn't afraid of having an accident, what was on his mind was that he couldn't allow himself to miss the restart, I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. Siao7 brought up article 39.7 which says cars have to be in line behind the SC, but that is only until the unlapping has f...

Siao7

I recall Schumacher having an accident behind the SC in the Monaco tunnel. While the distance was probably still a maximum of 5 car lengths in between cars, that was lengthened to a maximum of 10. Which only increases the difficulty for somebody not wanting to be caught out at a restart. And that w...

That's how it generally goes. Step 1. Behaviour is normal if not exactly by the book. Step 2. Verstappen does it Step 3. All hell breaks lose Step 4. New rules come into force to prevent this behaviour Step 5. This is bafflingly used as proof that the stewards/race director/FIA/King/Jesus/God obvio...

The "Verstappen overtook under the SC" narrative is as much as red (dead, dead red?) herring as the "Hamilton should have defended harder" narrative. Before Verstappen started doing it drivers used to overlap (And I'm sure sometimes nudge ahead) under the SC all the time and nobody cared. Verstappe...

Siao7

and btw here is another rule that was breached 39.8 With the exception of the cases listed under a) to h) below, no driver may overtake another car on the track, Max overtook Lewis but they didnt issue the 5 seconds penalty as needed. Was the regulation breached? The stewards didn't think so, and M...

Siao7

There are some (few) forumers who defend everything that suits Verstappen and/ or damages Hamilton. You can easily trace that through various threads. That’s why they twist words and selectively count or discount rules, etc. I am impressed by the relentnessness and vigor with which they are arguing...

You are absolutely right. The power of the RD to deviate from prescribed procedures is limited by the general principles you are quoting here. So, in the name of safety or to preserve the integrity of sports, for instance, the RD may deviate. But not for entertaining purposes - and especially not s...

dont remember exactly, but I got carried away sometimes, yes goes both ways, but I never presented this as the ultimate truth.

As you are not a telepath you can not know what Masi wanted , obviously you make this up as you go. You've been talking about how Masi wanted to benefit Max; are you a telepath? How can you know what Masi wanted? It goes both ways you see. dont remember exactly, but I got carried away sometimes, ye...

Siao7

yeah but I was told by t2jd1967 the whole point of Masi did was that Max can attack Lewis, basicly he is admitting Masi manipulated the race, but the same time he also wants to hold it was according to the rules. But the rules prescribe fairness and equality :) Of course its going in circles when t...
