Re: Betting on F1

I'm not a gambler, but I like the occasional silly bet, so I have decided to put PF1 to the test. Sky Bet have bets available for team mate battles. Using the TMW prediction threads, I've picked the driver with the most votes, when put into an accumulator it comes out at 18.5/1. So I've stuck the t...

Probably to test the water for a year or two and then see if it's worth buying into a team. ...I doubt it tbh. That would put their team entry in for 2028ish.

Re: The Effect of 2021 on Max Verstappen's Legacy

There is really no such thing as precedent in F1. You don't get consistency going form one race to the next, so you can't expect it going back years - especially when the disciplinary rules were different (no 5s penalty, no license penalty points in 2012). Precedent is a critical component of "Comm...

Re: The Effect of 2021 on Max Verstappen's Legacy

Imagine thinking Hamilton should be DSQ'd for a race incident but that brake testing your championship rival is acceptable. Delusion. But then again they try to deny any wrong doing on Max's part for Monza. Which is directly equatable to Silverstone. Max probably should have had a race ban. The 3 p...

Well then, Verstappen's braking at the Saudi Arabian GP was indeed seen as the predominant cause of the accident, as stated in the stewards' report. So far, so good. At the British Grand Prix, "Car 44 is judged predominantly at fault". So with Hamilton more to blame than Verstappen, I suppose you w...

Whilst I don't like to point out dictionary definitions usually. It's pretty clear that beating someone from the line, when starting behind them, is still very much an overtake.
