Ever since I saw the new cars I've been more interested in this upcoming season. I'll be following it a bit more closely than in previous years (which doesn't necessarily mean much, given I've seen *inaudible* all of it up to this point).

Toby.

Both of them are good men and it's good seeing them show each other respect. Aye, this is the Senna and Prost of this generation and they are showing that they can take the fight to each other, and even cross the line a few times, and still have enough respect for each other to defend what they do ...

If the issue is mainly lack of funding and not gender, then instead of starting a championship which to me comes across as condescending and patronising to women and just plain gymicky, why not just identify talented young female drivers at the Karting level & sponsor them which will allow them to ...

Toby.

Has the forum ever considered implementing a "like" system for posts?

Toby.

I thought most women who are in motorsport wanted to compete against men not just other women so I'm not really sure how this helps them if I am honest, and the prize money seems a very small amount which won't go very far at all to furthering their motorsport career which is what the prize money i...

World Titles. I think Hamilton will win eight. He's too close and too young at the moment to retire now without giving it a fair crack. If Mercedes maintain form, and there's no reason to think they won't, this one's his. Wins. I think Hamilton will surpass MSC's 91 in 2020, but possibly late 2019. ...

I'm curious about their definition of "woman" and "female", and if a person who is biologically male but identifies as female can enter.

Renault has really begun to struggle since mid-season, so I expect Haas will overtake them by the season's end. I suspect they switched their focus entirely to 2019 around the time Daniel Ricciardo started showing them interest, which would've been around the period their form began to dip below fou...

71st win for Hamilton. 20 more until he equals Schumacher's record, which seemed nearly impassable when it was set. Lewis has won 20 races since Brazil 2016. At this rate he should do it by 2020. If he wins the rest of the races this year, which is entirely possible, he could conceivably do it next ...

Ferrari look to have the most reliable unit this year.

Toby.

I very much disagree with this.

Toby.

Oof, only 19 points

This must be how Force India felt on Monday morning.

Toby.

I expect the caliber of drivers Lewis and Vettel have been paired with has had some impact on the drivers they've turned out to be. Lewis has gone up against, and sometimes lost to, Alonso, Button and Rosberg. All three on their day, especially the first two, can just be the best in the world in the...

I wish Sky's F1 broadcast wasn't so much like Top Gear... eg. Christian Horner gets a lift in a car that can drive on two wheels; Herbert goes on a zip line (complete with obnoxious screaming and extreme-close-up face camera); Jimmy Carr gets a surprise interview; the Force India drivers play a SNES...

To be fair he was told the complete opposite to what Hamilton actually said!

I was impressed that he was able to correct the race engineer.

Toby.

Vettel is better than Raikkonen.

That's all we can say with confidence at this point.

Toby.

I predict that Ricciardo is going to lose to the Hulk in qualifying next year. I am not sold on his ability with these current generation of cars. The gap to Verstappen is too often too big. That can only mean that he is leaving too much time on the table too often. I wouldn't be so confident. Ther...

Its only being locked while we clean it up.

Understood, Big Brother.

Toby.

Now he is for sure, and he has for a few races. Ricciardo needs to turn his form around if he wants to save face before leaving for Renault.

That race was exactly what is wrong with Formula 1 in the modern age.
It's a shame the Singapore Grand Prix often delivers the same, unexciting event.

Toby.

G'day all F1 has gone down some weird and interesting paths the last few years, with a lot said about how the changes have affected viewer interest. While I still watched every race, I'll concede my interest over 2016 and 2017 did definitely drop to a level where I would tune in on race day to find ...

Would seem a shame to throw away all those millions he earnt as a driver..

And off to Sauber. Madness!

Kvyat has done nothing since he was (rightly) dumped by Red Bull to warrant getting another seat in F1. If any STR driver is going to be given another chance, it should hands-down be Jean-Eric Vergne.

Toby.

I couldn't understand why Max wasn't told to concede the position to Bottas after he went over the first corner. He made a mistake under pressure; Valtteri managed to keep it on the track, and wouldn't have hit Verstappen if he'd not taken to the off-road. Yet Verstappen went over the runoff and kep...

Toby.

It's now been six races since Red Bull managed to get two cars to the finish line. They've lost cars to an exhaust failure, brake failure, two power losses and a clutch failure.

Toby.

I rarely subscribe to the theories that a driver who was hit while overtaking is partly to blame because if he didn't go for the overtake, the other driver wouldn't have made a mistake and hit him. I don't in this instance. Vettel needs to learn to back out of something once he's been beaten. When i...

Toby.

Why does the FIA not replace the "+5 seconds" penalty for contact, say between Verstappen and Bottas today, with a "concede the postion" call?

Toby.

It's the new format F1. You have to earn your place into that post-race interview.

Lewis Hamilton wins the race.

Great input by Rosberg as always. I very much appreciate his addition to the commentary team.

Toby.

^^ God I hope so

Toby.

What's Hamilton's race pace been like this weekend? He was closer in qualifying than I expected on Friday. If he takes the lead has he got a good chance of winning?

Toby.

Going to be hard to beat Vettel here. Damage limitation weekend for Hamilton.

Toby.

Praise to Mayhem 's continued commentary of this competition. Love seeing the post-race updates.

Toby.

I'm not convinced that's "certain", but it'd have been worryingly close at best.

Toby.

I just hope it's not as boring as last weekend!
