Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

No, I intend to wait and see if other members have a similar recollection, and whether that could provide further insight into having a racing end to the season. And note that I wrote "asked", and not your "should not". Meanwhile, I'm content to point out to you that in any SC situation, the driver...

Re: 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix Race Thread

Not really - they couldn't really know about a hypothetical tax credit that was only created when the settlement on the penalties was negotiated. You realise for what your saying above to be true all other teams based in the UK would have to be in on it as well... Given that they would want to know...

Re: Winning Streaks in the Lewis Hamilton Era

So thats an article from 2015 when RB's golden run of 4 straight championships had recently come to an end & Merc had just won their 2nd championship. This was their time after 4 years of RB domination. Why would Merc want to share their technology after all they'd invested to finally get there ? L...

Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

The marvellous stewards, didn't the FIA release a statement saying that procedures were not correctly followed. I don't think they ever did to be fair. The executive report may have alluded to this, but the detailed findings never backed that up. Make of that what you will, but there is no smoking ...

Re: 4th in the WDC

Anyone notoced how close this is going into the final race: 4. Sainz 200 5. Alonso 200 6. Norris 195 7. Leclerc 188 I know 4th doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but these 4 could easily find themselves sharing the same bit of tarmac in the last few laps with a lot at stake. One to wa...

Re: 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread

Ironic thing was Leclerc had to think of a strategy to help Ferrari get P2 in the WCC instead of the pit wall. Had he seen this masterclass from '21, he could've done something more or better. The idea to let Checo pass imo came a bit too late. I think 1 more lap would've gotten Checo third & Lecle...

Re: This Is Getting Ridiculous. Fillipe Massa is Looking At Legal Options Over 2008 F1 Title Outcome.

No, now has got nothing to do with it. It was always Hamilton's fault? Think Fiki meant to say "he", not "now". I can't see how AD'21 was Lewis' fault, except for him not defending the inside at the corner he got overtaken on. I suspect he was caught napping there by Verstappen; and good for Versta...

Re: 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

So it is okay for Ocon to mess up the preparation of Verstappen’s hot lap? Interesting take. :?: Verstappen was driving slow, Ocon overtook him.

This...can't be a serious post. Are you saying, one should not take Lewis serious when he says that he's fighting for P2 in the WDC? Because Checo certainly did take him serious, and boy, did he deliver! ;) Lewis is not driving a car that should even be in contention for P2 this season. That's not ...
