Why would Schumacher lose his statistics? Fiki has been adamant that Schumacher's stats shouldn't count for 1997 since I've been on this forum, and quite likely since as early as 1998. It doesn't make any sense. He cheated in the final race, but that doesn't provide any rationale for removing his s...

I've only seen a sketchy translation but Marko appears to be blaming the chassis now for the lack of performance..... significant if true.

Hamilton will probably win. Excited to see what Racing Point can do. For now they are doing today the times Mercedes was doing last year... So the Racing Point 2020 is doing the same times as Mercedes 2019....interesting. I wonder if its the same car that has been copied or the same concept? Subtle...

Where are the usual stroll critics? Not bad for a 21 yr old up against a much more experienced teammate. 2 races in a row. Should be interesting race between the two of them tomorrow. Maybe it's a case of him and his engineer finally being on the same page. Let's wait until tomorrow before getting ...

Really liked Russell standing up for Albon in his interview with Sky, does make me wonder what Alex is telling people behind the scenes though. Red Bull look in a whole world of trouble this weekend though, Max reporting balance changes from lap to lap; something is very wrong with that car. Better ...

Red Bull need to pull it out of the fire here after that showing.

I had Russell nailed on for best qualifying of the day, but bloody hell Lewis! Different class, for someone as amazing in the wet as Max to end up going off trying to match him (and still getting nowhere near it).... amazing. Another bad day for Ferrari, and I can't see them getting lucky 2 weekends...

I really, really, really don't get it from Alonso's perspective. He quit the first time round because he didn't want to roll around in midfield.... and he's coming back to join a team that is behind the team he left in the midfield pecking order. I guess this means Vettel's race is run in F1, unless...

I feel like the punishment was dished out because of what happened to Albon rather than the actual incident itself... I don't think Lewis did much wrong and Albon was a bit too hasty to make the move stick. The race was his to lose at that point, another hard lesson learned perhaps.

Im still feeling fairly confident about all of mine. For everyone else, feel free to add your predictions as you go along, perhaps mark them with the point of the season we are at when you make them.

Flash2k11

Completely agree..Mercedes has the longest stretch of unseen domination both in terms of years and races...Lewis has had a car for over a 100 races easily where he has been in prime position to take pole and victory..Never has a driver enjoyed this level of privilege in terms of car performance Exa...

Norris, Leclerc and Bottas, and in that order too. Norris driver of the weekend too for me. Leclerc got a bit lucky but you still have to keep it pointed in the right direction and that overtake on Perez was mega. Compared to his teammate..... Bottas did what he needed to do..... just.

Just for a little bit of fun, lets make a few bold (or not) predictions for the season ahead with only a single qualifying session to base it on. 1. This is Russel's last year in the Williams. Wether or not that means promotion to the big team, unsure, but he is already being wasted at the back of t...

Watched the last hour so I missed all of the Max/Lando histronics and Alonso's trouble. Decent end, looked for all the money in the world that the 01 car was going to run out of fuel on the last lap but they held on just fine in the end.

Didn't Briatore have a similar sort of thing going on in the 90s? Benneton, Ligier and I think Minardi he had a stake in.

As for the second drivers, Bottas was quicker than Albon in the race and ahead until his engine expired. Not massively relevant, but i'm pretty sure Mercedes let Bottas run his engine in a high mode until it finally blew up just to see how far they could push their luck with it (probably very valua...

No he doesn't do that anymore but I don't think that's the car I think it's a choice from Hamilton. He races for WDC.

Expected there to be a little more buzz around the aero handicaps that almost seem like they have been snuck in with the budget caps. Seems kind of a big deal.

It is funny nobody ever mention the competitivity of RB cars because they look at VER's teammates who can not drive his set ups apparently. It is like the repeat of ALO's career. Exactly like Alonso's career. The 'teammate unable to drive his setup' excuse is trotted out whenever people want to dis...

I'm of the opinion that the second Verstappen actually becomes a genuine WDC rival that Lewis will very quickly stop leaving Max to pass him fairly unopposed. Until now, it's simply not been his fight (a lesson I think the year of constantly tangling with Massa has taught him) and will continue to n...

Hamilton was no less dirty than Rosberg. The difference between them was innate ability and racecraft. Hamilton knew how to be dirty without overstepping the mark too much and costing his team serious points (Austin 2015). Rosberg did not have the same level of racecraft and hence, when Rosberg tri...

Flash2k11

That's true, but it doesn't mean this was such a case It doesn't translate well, but I was being as facetious as Roberg was with that comment. I think he knows that even alluding to that being the case was going to cause controversy (and the more cynical among us may see the additional clicks for h...

I’ve never heard the toilet story before! I’m not sure that Rosberg has admitted that he took Hamilton out in Spain 2016 though? Hmm, he pretty much does.
