Alonso, spygate, you don't think that it would make a good movie? Even as a Hamilton fan I don't think a movie would be that exciting to anyone but F1 fans and even then, it would be debatable. Though I guess people may have said that about Rush. I thoroughly enjoyed it but that's because I wasn't ...

Imagine trying to argue that a 4 x WDC driver didn't have a driver error because of oversteer but arguing that he doesn't know the effects of dirty air (whilst ignoring Hamilton was closer to Vettel than Vettel was to any back markers)

Someone on reddit went through the trouble of editing lots of pictures to get rid of the blue/red run offs and replace it with grass and gravel traps. Looks so much better. God knows how the drivers don't get distracted and take a wrong turn! (though I guess that's why they're paid the big bucks and...

Big weekend for Valtteri, I feel. Needs to capture that bit of form he started the season with as Lewis is already 4 points clear of the DNF window. If Hamilton win this weekend with Bottas finishing anything worse than a further 7 points behind it will take a special purple patch for him to overcom...

It was pretty childish and not what you'd expect from a grown man (the sign swapping looks like it was taken straight out of primary school) but I wouldn't hold it against him. I never have an issue with a sportsman showing a bit of passion even if it does border on infantile. I've often defended Le...

Hamilton squeezed Ricciardo but then left space; however being squeezed towards the wall was enough for Daniel to back off). For me that is the real infraction. Watch it again. Ricciardo didn't back off because he was squeezed. He backed off because the line he had been left was wet and he had slic...

Marc Priestly has done a good video on it. ncF4CA53K24 And as he has mentioned in the video and as I have been saying to people on reddit and other forms. The Stewards didn't rob us of a race. Hamilton didn't rob us of a race. Vettel making yet another mistake is what robbed us of a race. Yet someho...

Option 3 is the only sensible one for me. Seems harsh but it's the stewards sticking to the rules.

He has no one to blame but himself, unfortunately.

I used to read the front page of Planet F1 for quite a while before I realised all the good stuff was hidden in the forums!

I'm not going to pretend like I wouldn't have been less tiddled off if the situation were reversed, but the penalty netting Mercedes yet another win only amplified how horrible a decision it was. But a penalty is a penalty. They should be thought of as mutually exclusive to the standings and previo...

Junglist

Then add the altair rule, where if your season has been absolutely horrible, with no excitement avoid making decisions that result in the sport ending up with a black eye. Absolutely not. This is not WWE. Championship position should have no impact on stewards decisions. I watch the NHL, and the re...

. The Autosport article does seem to show that (as expected) the Stewards knew what they were doing. The most hilarious aspect of this episode is that during the race there was severe criticism of the Sky commentary team as a bunch of no-hopers, BUT because they (wrongly) supported Vettel they sudd...

The stewards examined slow motion footage of Vettel's actions from the moment that he had regained control and started steering his car - and felt the evidence showed that he could have made different choices that would have been within the rules. The footage clearly captures Vettel correcting an o...

Junglist

Not the ending to the race we had hoped for and even as a Hamilton fan it wasn't a race worth celebrating the victory of but job done and a nice points lead over his nearest competitor. What is it about Vettel making mistakes and cracking under pressure when Hamilton is near him? Lewis is living ren...

Haven't seen this video of Niki and Lewis before. Wonder if he was trying to poach him from this stage. Seems unlikely though

edit. Hadn't/Haven't... I'm still not sure which is correct.

There you go guys. Knock yourselves out! I didn't think it was that bad; but I'm a fan. Seems the irate 'blue flags!' were for entry into Portier. He had to take a wider line into that corner to gap Max through the tunnel; but with a slower car in front he had to take a shallower line to cover Max ...

Hamilton - no mistakes even whilst on the wrong tyre whilst max behind him locked up a few times and also caused a collision with his poorly executed move. Yes he moaned but the moaning isn’t a big deal for me. The radio is his only life line to his engineers so of course he is going to tell them t...

I’ve never understood why any driver gets heat for complaining on the radio. They’re talking to their team, not us the viewers. We just eavesdrop onto whatever FOM allows us to hear

Junglist

I hope so but it feels like we've been getting empty promises from Renault since the new turbo era began.

Proof shall be in the pudding.

An interesting read for the more technically minded of you

Mercedes have been spotted doing something clever with their front suspension which is giving them an advantage in slow corners

Junglist

I know FP sessions mean very little but what a job by Albon!

Junglist

The previous conversation was based on the whole package and also pointed out that having a great engine helps when stuck in dirty air and aero becomes less effective. That'll teach me for not following all the posts! Though I do think saying the engine is the biggest reason for the success a bit u...

Junglist

I don't think you can chalk up the current success that Mercedes seem to be having down to their engine now though. Their cornering speed is now amazing

Lets have a bit of a happier story for once

Seeing as the weekend was a bit dull (when isn't the Spanish GP dull?) it's nice to have something a bit positive to read. Even if it's a tragic story.

I didn't pick the full 21 but the 17 I did pick are. I wont give explanations for all of them, they should be fairly obvious Melbourne - I like waking up early for this event. No idea why and my partner has never been thrilled but it's just an exciting time for me. Bahrain Shanghai (though sometimes...

Bottas can cruise home now 15 laps with Lewis behind you in the same car and slightly newer tyres will never be a cruise home! As a Lewis fan I'd like to think he'd catch him but Bottas is looking fantastic today! Credit where it's due, yesterday I didn't think Bottas would be able to hold Lewis of...

He certainly is flying! (was in the wrong thread)

No i did not!

Charles is flying! He'll be behind Sebastian in a few laps at this rate

Bottas has Lewis covered it seems. Huge gap and it seems to be getting bigger each lap Is that Lewis managing his pace and saving his tires? I think that Bottas just has a bit more today. Could be wrong but I'll be surprised if he loses this now. With an extra point he'll be back at the top of the ...

I get what you're saying and I agree they haven't committed a crime, but for me they tend to go overboard in trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and I find it annoying, that's all.

We should just rename him Toto 'Cried' Wolff at this point ;) But jokes aside, Mercedes have been doing this for a while now. People should know they don't show their hand until they need to. I don't really see it as being dishonest though, they're just not showing their hands. I'll (try and) make ...

How they lack the pace, Ferrari are the favorites, red bull is really fast, how they don't know where Ferrari is getting its speed from, all up until Q2 when they "find" a way to either narrow the gap that existed to that point or outright beat Ferrari. Then there were the two races where Ferrari w...
