Verstappen would have won races in a Mercedes in 2022 and 2023 largely because if he's driving for Mercedes then he's not driving for Red Bull. Mercedes drivers finished second to Verstappen 8 times across 2022 and 2023. That's assuming he's going up against Perez as lead driver of Red Bull. If Max...

The race was terrible, it's one thing to have a dominant team and a dominant driver but the racing behind was a procession, it seems we are back to dirty air and it being really hard to overtake which these cars were supposed to eradicate, but no the officials have allowed the teams to put things o...

Red Bull light years ahead, not sure why mclaren and merc left norris and hamilton out I dont see in any scenario where that would be a good thing out. Seems ferrari is clear second best, shows what Gary Anderson knows after slating their car in preseason I thought the entire point of Pirellis stup...

Of course you can comment, indeed this is what a forum is for. When you use the word justify, you make it seem that posters need to justify their choices, and I don't think posters necessarily need to. There was a discussion a fair while ago about anonymous polling and I made the specific point tha...

People can vote for whom they think did the best job based on any number of factors. Surely that doesn’t mean these votes are any less valid? Where did I say so? I asked for the reasons to vote for Perez and commented upon those reasonings. Isn't that what a discussion forum exists for? Of course y...

Some, if not most know out here Perez is my favorite driver. So it's only natural for me to follow him in live timing. His race pace was as good as Verstappen, especially in the second half of the race. P.S. - No way he was way slower. But I didn't vote for him as he's expected to be second in the ...

I'm surprised you didn't notice he did pretty well. I can't say I was looking at his times the whole race through, but I can't agree with "massively slower". He didn't do as well as Bearman or Ocon, but that's neither here nor there. In what way did Perez better than Piastri, Russell, Leclerc, Hülk...

Bearman, Ocon, Perez What did Perez do apart of ignoring red lights causing an unsafe release and being massively slower than his teammate? I'm surprised you didn't notice he did pretty well.

I'm sorry but once this is all over, if no-one has been forced to fall on their sword, fired or voluntarily left, then for the life of me I fail to see how Horner, Marko & the Verstappens can maintain anything that even remotely resembles a functional working relationship. There must be a near bibl...

Pourchaire and Iwasa qualified outside the top 10 on their Super Formula debut at Suzuka. Iwasa finished 9th while Pourchaire finished outside the top 10 in 18th behind Noda.

I don't think safety has anything to do with it. I think it's just considered to large a penalty now. Well, that was the argument put to me on this forum a while ago when discussing why drive through and stop and go penalties are no longer being handed out by the stewards, due to the proximity of r...

Sensational manoeuvre by Hauger to claim third. Strong performance by Fittipaldi. Bad luck again for Hadjar. Why did Martins drop down the field like a stone?

Antonelli blew the start fell to 11th but got back up to 7th for 2 points, probably cost him about 3 positions. Yes made some useful overtakes to get back up into the points. The one on Marti on the outside of T1 was brilliantly managed Great recovery drive from Maloney as well. Yes Maloney 15th to...

I am still not sure we aren't watching a netflix preview and nothing will happen at the end of the day except of giving the sport a talking point in sportively boring times.

This is a skewed poll looking for an obvious answer. Luckily that is clear for even the most casual observer.

Paolo_Lasardi

If the Verstappens engineers a move away from Red Bull because they can't get rid of Horner, I think Max is engineering himself a front-row ticket to watching someone else mop up the grid using the #1 RBR. Jos may think Max is so quick he could win the title in a car he's currently gapping by 20+ s...

Question marks growing on how the texts get leaked to the Dutch press from someone inside the team, that's a big problem as well It kind of proves that someone senior in Redbull wants him gone. None of the lower staff would dare as I imagine the list of names with access is both short and traceable...

It makes no difference in the greater scheme of things. 2016 was not an interesting season and neither was 2023. It looks like 2024 will go the same way. If you followed Formula One long enough you would soon realise that this is the norm in Formula One and exciting seasons are the exception. Of th...

I answered two driver fighting for the WDC, but basically the poll doesn't make sense. It's like asking if you want to see someone compete, or if you would rather have the winner declared in advance. The answer is quite obvious. What I want is a season like 2012, when the first seven races was won ...

That you found 2016 a good season does not make it a good season for the general viewer. That in my view is hardly controversial. That 2023 was worse does not make 2016 a good season, it is just a different grade of uncompetitiveness. The discussion was exactly about the comparison with me writing ...

If I said my opinion on Jos here I'd probably be banned. But yes Jos is massively pushing for Horner to be gone, probably more than anyone as far as I can tell. Wouldn't surprise me in even the slightest if he was behind the entire leak & that he had the messages generated. The weird thing with Jos...

The solution is easy and it does not take a genius to figure out how we can have competitive seasons without making silly suggestions. Before the advent of the early 2000 Ferrari juggernaut, competitiveness would swing between teams. Ferrari made a huge step in all departments and left the other te...

The only reason 1988 is fondly remembered is that the best two drivers in the sport went up against each other. 2016 was not interesting as a season unless you were a fan of one of the two drivers. Perhaps it was interesting for you personally. This is a strange take, tbh. A close fight for the wdc...
