This is not a procedural or technical regulation, it is safety. And justifiably, safety regulations must be clear and carry weight. If not, serious injury or death can result. Make all the excuses you desire, two drivers and their teams messed up while everyone else was able to follow the regulation...

We are in a unique position as fans because we saw two very different races in Austria, involving the same format, track, and characters. So, which race did you like more? That is it, personal experience and preference. I hope we keep the discussion away from driver versus driver arguments, just lay...

I have been fascinated, and watch, the W Series. https://wseries.com/ . This is wonderful because a great number of quality female drivers compete head-to-head on equal equipment. Racing every Thursday at 19:00 BST I must admit I have become a fan of Naomi Schiff. She is very quick, but unfortunatel...

A lot of major racing series provide free videos of past races. Why should I pay to watch a race when I can watch a lot more for free?

Understand this: even Formula One needs to fans to survive. So why are you licking their toes in subservience?

The FIA/WEC just dropped a big one. The 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual, organised by the ACO, FIA WEC and Motorsport Games, will open a new era in sim racing. 13/14 of June get ready ..... https://www.fiawec.com/en/news/a-world-premiere-24-hours-of-le-mans-virtual-on-13-14th-june/6727?fbclid=IwAR05_eQ6...

I always want racing to be a meritocracy. But in team sports like Formula One, the individual teams do not start off in anything comparable to an equal footing. yes, money has always made the difference, and usually, the team with the biggest budget succeeds. But for the last 20+ years Formula One h...

Of course this cancellation of racing sucks, but there have been some interesting positive benefits. A least for me, I understand that may not be the case for others. Since I am up to my neck in the world of sim racing, the influx of professional big name drivers has grown a heck of a lot in the las...

"THE RACE" will be steaming a race soon, 12:00 noon EST. Many big names confirmed, including Montoya, Villeneuve, and Button.

At this moment I am watching Charles Leclerc practicing. You can go to his channel, set up alerts, and watch him when he is online.

And although real world racing is the best, I am currently enjoying a cornucopia of pro drivers having fun online.

Well I heard that Verstappen pulled out of 2 races because he didn't have a good enough understanding of the software being used, some of these drivers aren't going to race just to make up the numbers. The easy way out is to not understand what the drivers are doing and why. I have scrutinized Max ...

Caution: unfiltered strong language. Nicki is a loose cannon.

They are just racing for fun and bragging rights. Since a crash does not injure anyone or carry a cost, they can take more chances. But that race just opened the door, at this very moment I am watching Max and many other top drivers in a F3 sim race. There will be a heck of a lot more of this stuff ...

It has it's moments but unfortunately it can make passing too inevitable and there's nothing exciting about an inevitable pass. DRS can be exciting only if the organizers place the DRS zones in a proper area and distance. Valencia had a history of horrible races, until the very last one (2012) wher...

This idea is from the same sort of logic that gave us DRS.

I am 100% in agreement.

Outside of Formula One and Britain, Hamilton is not well known. Or appreciated.

I don't know where you got any of this from Blinky. First off Hamilton arrived in F1 an adolescent man and immediately took the fight to his much more experienced teammate who just happened to be the reigning 2x World Champion, and he did it superbly and at no point was toxic.

The forum feels slightly different now with some old regulars leaving. I wonder if that had anything to do with Hamilton and Mercedes being an excessively dominant force. My personal investment in Formula One has declined appreciably in the last three years. I now watch other racing series that car...

TBF Andy Murray is hardly overflowing with charisma and it hasn't seemed to hold him back. Personally I'd rather sportsmen not be honoured at all until retirement but seeing as they are Hamilton's MBE is a huge outlier given that he could argue he is Britain's most successful ever sportsman in a ma...

I think Toto is financially invested in the Merc F1 team. I don't think he'd go anywhere where he couldn't have that kind of arrangement. He holds a 30% share in Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport Formula One Team. Before that, he was a shareholder in Williams F1. Toto Wolff is an ex-racer, but a big...

I'm surprised Spa is comfortably top. It used to be a great track but sadly it's been turned into a car park. It doesn't even produce great races regularly anymore. In Formula One, agreed.

What have Red Bull always done since the days of 2009? They have drawn drivers from their own driver program, and trialed them first in Torro Rosso.

Hamilton is arguably the quickest driver of his generation. That being said, we should not ignore his history, of questioning the team and becoming toxic when faced with a worthy teammate. The top teams are learning that the best driver combination is one star and one sedate and quiet teammate who i...

Many fans (myself included) are drawn and will vote for a spectacular climb up through the field and someone punching above their weight. That is why Sainz got my vote for Brazil. I will agree that Hamilton does deserve more Driver of the Race wins. But he is saddled with a car that can dominate som...

Technically, I can easily think of a method to circumvent the fuel flow regulations. The fuel flow sensors are at least before the fuel rail that leads to each cylinder. If not, you need six individual sensors versus one. At each cylinder the fuel rail leads to a solenoid that opens and closes to r...
