Some awesome tracks I wish: Brands Hatch, Watkins Glen, Long Beach, and the destroyed Kyalami.

Honorable mention to Buenos Aires from 70's.

Lt. Drebin

Just checked the weather, moderate temperature all days, up to 20 C, no rain, but cloudy.

Racing point. Because Stroll > Giovinzazzi Mate You being sarcastic? At Spain, most of the teams will be introducing major upgrades. This will be a big step which could dictate the WCC hierarchy. I stand by my opinion. And I just wrote it down. Force Point will be a force to reckon with, the Stroll...

1) You seem to be completely ignoring the half car width between the cars? Why? 2) The fastest way through turn 1 is using the kerb on exit, its a no brainer, it narrows the angle of the corner. Its the racing line. This is especially the case if you enter turn 1 on a wider line like Bottas did bec...

All the "Ferrari is faster, just wait and see" is only a slogan for selling the F1 brand. Of course they are not faster, Mercedes is playing cat and mouse with Ferrari. Both Ferrari drivers are forced to push way too much, and both Vettel and Leclerc has accidents because of that. It is not a questi...

Lewis said in a post race interview that he lost the race because he was too nice in turn one. He was pushing a fellow driver half cars width out of actual racing track and calls it "too nice". What is next? https://i.ibb.co/HBw8LBh/01212.jpg Firstly. He left him 1 cars width inside the white lines...

What is is with Toto's face when Bottas beats hamilton 1-2 in qualifying, 1-2 in the race? Every time one of these happens, he just has a firm stare and looks as if he has to put a fake smile on because of the reactions around him. He honestly looks more happy than this when he sees Hamilton win a ...

Lt. Drebin

- Bottas absolutely did 100% yesterday and today, well deserved - Hamilton has found a new obstacle. Not only that he has to beat the "faster" Ferrari, now he has also Bottas - Toto Wolf smirking. He has a look like they lost the race. This should make Bottas worry. - Ferrari needs some big change e...

You speak of Bahrain as if its indicative of this season, like China and Australia didn't happen. Sure, Ferrari got unlucky in Bahrain. Luck plays a part. But they were smoked in China and Australia as well, from a team that was "slower" in the preseason. Mercedes layed it on thick about how slow t...

Lt. Drebin

I pity him. His heritage was solid and well established, now he is moldering his heritage. For what?

Lt. Drebin

OK, I'll simply note it for the record... All these capitalistic, money-grubbing races in communist countries where the fans (if there are any) can barely afford shoes (all made in the same tractor factory).... just puzzles me. Just because a wealthy real estate baron (how is that possible in a col...

Lt. Drebin

Good thesis and observations. Well done Alienturnedhuman!

Whoever was in charge of the broadcast today must have been suffering through a serious hangover from last night. So many bad shots were cut to: cameras moving around, odd zooming into cars at the final corner, some shots being held seconds longer than they should have been. Woeful! Yep, bellow cur...

1000th race has fully shown why F1 is not anymore what it was. It has several unofficial categories, it is hard t overtake except on the 1km straight, starts are deciding the outcome. And that's just the top of the hill. Ferrari obviously has a car problem, it looks so unsettled. Also, since Vettel...

-Michael Schumacher is the Lance Armstrong of F1. Are you suggesting that Schumacher used performance enhancing drugs??? No he's insinuating the Shumi was the biggest cheater of all time. He must be salty because Michael whooped up on his favorite drivers, fair and square, so it's easier to call hi...

Lt. Drebin

1. Racing would be nicer to watch, if not better, on old circuits like Kyalami, Brands Hatch, old Zeltweg, old Hockenheim... 2. Drivers of the 70's and 80's were better sportsman by far. 3. Huge salaries and income in general spoil the sport. 4. Monaco is outgrown by F1. It's ridiculous to use it. 5...

Track limits interpretation in Indycar is interesting.

They are noticeably bigger and faster than ever before.

True. Look the increase in length 1991-2012.

Ocon in by mid-season, if not sooner.

For Monaco. That's at least what I think.

For McLaren-Honda, I feel that it was 50-50. Honda was certainly weaker at that point compared to improvement they made in the meantime. McLaren is obviously in a long technical crisis. I think they need foremost a good aerodynamic specialist for a good car and right after that, an exclusive deal fr...

Lt. Drebin

It's a double edged sword. Even Toto forbade their drivers to go for the fastest lap, the risk is just too high. Other than that, Mercedes was in the league of their own.

Lt. Drebin

Dear Catherine, I very much appreciate your post, and rest assured that your honorable father Patrick is not forgotten. I hope you find someone to help you with the book. Thank you for sharing these precious vignettes of his life with us and scrapbook. He was indeed gifted in making drawings. I actu...

Lt. Drebin

I'm surprised at all the praise for Stroll. Was he even that fast today? From what I could tell he benefited from Giovinazzi holding up several of his rivals, including Perez, allowing him to jump them all in the pitstops. His impressive-looking finish was more a result of circumstance than anythin...

Lt. Drebin

Bottas and Stroll for sure. Still thinking about weather to go for Kvyat or Verstappen. I somehow think I should be seeing more comments about how disappointing Hamilton was. Think about how much Bottas got criticised for races like Brazil last year when he was 22 seconds behind Hamilton. If this w...

There was some tweet in Italian before the race stating that Ferrari's are running in the safe mode because of the overheating problems. So, there is a ray of hope, that if they solve it, they might be competitive.

I read he said that he needs to work on his starts, and that's all that went wrong. At least in the interview he did not say to have floor damage.

So Merc is the best, but for Bottas to swipe Hamilton with 20+ seconds is astonishing. More like this and and we are off to a very interesting season. Ferrari reportedly has switched down the engine for overheating problems. Also, Vettel is clearly better than Leclerc and has not put the foot wrong,...

Lt. Drebin

Voted Bottas, Stroll, Kvyat.

Honorable mention to Hulkenberg and Magnussen.

Lt. Drebin

Impressive and somewhat not anticipated. Hats off to the guy!

Norris & Albon shining on their debuts. Let me add Russel in here. He was some 1,7 sec faster than Kubica. It's not his fault that Williams is so slow. In being faster than the experienced guy who is sharing his equipment, he did all what is needed for his very successful debut. I have to wonder if...

I would even like to have races without mandatory tyre changes and two obligatory types of tyres. Let the race be race, and athletics be athletics (by that I mean the work of the pit crew). Just my opinion.
