In theory I probably would, but I imagine a lot of the 'B' teams would suddenly be testing a lot of additional parts that just happen to have crossover benefit for whoever is bankrolling them. There is the cost factor too, the whole limited testing thing came about because it was too expensive for t...

There's been a fair few comments today comparing the Racing Point to last year's Mercedes and you can see that from the front on view below, they do look very similar. Is there a possible sharing of information here, and if so is that allowed? 1230174536793874432 I'd imagine it's a somewhat similar...

Reminds me of an Indycar, and I dont mean that as a disparagement. Just a product of the sponsorship that makes it up..... looks like a 1980s paintjob to me, and i'm more than happy with it.

Hopefully it goes a bit more like an 80s Williams too.

The actual name of it is 2019-nCov. That just means 2019 novel Coronavirus, you know... It doesn't help explain why it's all run together. Well yeah, it hasn't got a proper name like SARS or MERS yet. I'd liken it to a 'football' being called that and not a 'foot ball' even though its still a type ...

This is something that has been puzzling me. Does anyone know why it is called ''Coronavirus'' and not ''Corona Virus''? For example you can catch a ''Flu Virus'' but not a ''Fluvirus'' and you can catch ''Human Immunodeficiency Virus'' but not ''Human Immunodeficiencyvirus'' nor ''Humanimmunodefic...

A braver man than me might fancy working out how many points I wasted on penalties this year

Honest lateness too, not game playing. A brief mental check tells me i've done at least 60

If you can sign the best driver in the sport available and chose not to you probably don't deserve to be winning championships. It would be a no brainer to sign Hamilton in these circumstances. Even if it just means no other top team can use him. Ding ding. They already have 2 roosters in the hen h...

The only thing I would say is not Vettel, first of all he would need Ferrari to build a dominant car which I can't see for next season, secondly he has a problem with a teammate that is already on his level and I can see improving for next season. I suppose the Mercedes is not a dominant car. Also ...

The 50k fine isn't the punishment, you only have to join up the dots to see the current Ferrari team in exactly the light they deserve.

The real punishment will be the knowledge amongst themselves that even by going over boundaries they still didn't even come close to winning the WCC or the WDC.

. How "petty" is the offence ? We don't know, but it is indicative of Ferrari's attitude to the regs. . The amount of fuel in the car going to the grid did not match what was declared to the stewards. I didn't even know such a rule exists, and there is no benefit I can see to breaking it so I don't...

No team should have a veto, and no team should be held as bigger than any of the others when it comes to decision making for the sport regardless of whatever history they may or may not have in F1.

there is a mathematical chance of anyone in the top 30 claiming the main prize - basically, if Bentrovato scores a perfect score and the rest boycott the race, it's a narrow championship win.

Really not happy with the way the stewarding is going this year. I don't think i'm the only one who thinks the stewards had half an eye on Vettel's ever increasing penalty point count (which now doesn't decrease until the middle of next year) when deciding no further action. Driving into someone lik...

Another podium, too bad i've wasted a ton of points on FP1 penalties otherwise I might have still been in with a shot.

Hamilton moved over even earlier and wrecked his competitor. Do you think he believed with his "veteran" mindset that what he did would work? You believe he had no thought of what Albon might do? Do you think he intended to crash or has he no spatial awareness either? Come on man. Seb knew exactly ...

I will discuss the incident with you - I was not discussing the incident above, I was discussing the commentating. As I see it, Charles had not given up the fight. After Vettel passed him on the outside of turn 3, and came out ahead on the subsequent straight, Charles had no intention of letting Ve...

Mercedes had a strategy nightmare today. Not sure I’d call it a nightmare. The Bottas strategy was weird. Doing the opposite of verstappen at the first safety car was their best chance of winning at that point and I think Hamilton said the pit stop at the second SC was his call. Not great but not a...

When you leave that much room, you are a party to what follows. Lewis has admitted fault, but Albon has admitted on Sky that he didn't know where Lewis was when he turned in.

Great lap from Bottas, pretty average from Hamilton, who is readily admitting that to all and sundry. Quite how much more anyone needs to read into that is beyond me.

I'm a great believer in form and feel that driving ability changes by the season for all drivers, but as it stands this year, I'd put LH clearly above Max and have done since they both featured in the sport. Of course, Max may get better and Lewis may drop off in the years to come. I'm still convin...

Not something I've ever noticed, I would guess that the impression of bias probably comes mostly from di Resta's generally negative demeanour.

The eventual winner will not be complaining about the bumps... Story is that the road surface has settled a bit (in spots) each year since the initial paving.

Regarding Vettel's false start, do you remember Valtteri's mega start from some time back which was also deemed a false start by some.

Bottas pretty much just said he was controlling and pushing when needed, and today that generally wasn't needed. So there you go. Lewis having to play catch-up distorts the picture, I suppose.

Ultimate Bottas appeasement from Mercedes, but they've earned the luxury to do that. Still won the WCC, and Lewis will cheer up pretty sharpish next race when he inevitably makes it 6.
