I enjoyed it once I realised it was effectively a single race spread over 2 days with qualifying having the same relevance as usual, just moved to Friday. The effective benefits being that the first part of the race isn't on race fuel or interrupted by early pitstops, cars can rejoin last if they g...

Best I can say is it was mildly entertaining for the novelty value and I’m sure it was great for the fans at Silverstone. But I was left with the feeling of it being unnecessary, and I also thought there is more potential for things to go wrong than right i.e. it risks putting drivers outside positi...

Hopefully this won't affect Norris' weekend too much: McLaren Racing can confirm that Lando Norris was involved in an incident, after the Euro 2020 final match at Wembley, during which the watch he was wearing was taken. Thankfully, Lando was unharmed but he is understandably shaken. The team is su...

Finding it almost unbelievable that anyone would think Norris, and subsequently Perez, deserved a penalty for the turn 4 offs. When trying to overtake around the outside you take the risk and often it doesn’t work, what is the driver on the inside expected to do - just stop and let them past. The o...

II’d be happy to vote for either George or Lando, but for me I think Lando edged it today because he continues to exceed all expectations by some margin, whereas George is excelling like we expect him to.

Very sad. I liked Max and all his controversial ways. I remember back in the day when this forum had so many lively discussions about the machinations of Max and Bernie, and although not to everyone's liking it certainly made things interesting and gave us something to argue about in between races a...

First time I heard him I thought this guy is trying to imitate Brundle (didn't realise it was his son). He doesn't just 'sound' like him, he has the same mannerisms and some of the same phrases. Uncanny!

America tends to make everything "bigger" so it's more spectacular, but I'm afraid the divides that were let growing (when not encouraged...) by the successive governments since Reagan are active in our European society, though, let's hope, not as deeply rooted (and we have no legal access to war g...

I know where you're coming from, and I do partially agree with you here. However, I have zero problem if "cancel culture" means we get rid of undeserving scumbags or races in dystopian dictatorships. There is a burden of proof that comes along with things, so it might be a more complicated situatio...

SlipstreamF1 Yes that was pretty much my take too - I've not seen the vid, and considering the female's comments I don't have an opinion other than it was probably stupid all round. I knew nothing about the guy before this, but all the noise about this vid has sure as hell made more people aware of ...

Well it seems we have a new F1 brat that many will love to hate. I’m guessing many F1 fans are like me and knew very little about Mazepin before this, and regardless of this current incident, it has certainly shone a light on some of his past behaviour, which paints him in a very poor light. Being b...

If George gets another drive for Merc this weekend and performs as well, what do you think the chances of contracts being broken/renegotiated?

I like Bottas, but if Russell is indeed going to be a large part of Merc's future then why f##k about - just get him in there.

IMO Domenicali usually comes across as quite balanced, level headed and a decent communicator so I've got no problem

For decades the higher echelons of F1 have appointed people who theoretically favor Ferrari, and it's not exactly done them much good

Biffa

I often wonder how Williams would have fared if they appointed someone approaching the caliber of Wolff or Brawn back in 2013.

No disrespect to Claire Williams but she never came across as having a winning mentality.

First race. Primarily because it was the first race and I was excited, also it was unpredictable (regardless of the rights and wrongs of why). Second race reminded me that I don't like KERS.

Judging by the frequency the drivers have to adjust them whilst being interviewed would suggest the Macca mask is not one of their finest engineering achievements. Hopefully there are some updates due for next race

Biffa

From a very non-scientific point of view I don’t remember the last time I was so excited about the overall field of young/rookie drivers. To the point I’ll probably be supporting 7 drivers this year

I’m loving the current grid weak or otherwise!

Media reports in the UK about the introduction of a 14 day quarantine period for people travelling to the UK, which could throw a spanner in the works of the plan to start in July. I think it is possible F1 could have some sort of exemption from that as it would count as ‘work’ travel. Same with fo...

Looking like Euro 2020 will be cancelled, so that's June and July - not looking good :? It doesn’t look good but I also think this is to buy domestic leagues time to finish their seasons.

I'd absolutely be up for that.

Living in Scotland with the crap weather you need to make the most of the meagre summers so I've always had a problem sitting in front of a TV watching F1 on a sunny afternoon so the more winter races the better as far as I'm concerned.

Sky still have SkySportsF1 packages to sell so they won't be confirming or mentioning any cancellation until they get it in triplicate and hand delivered by Ross Brawn.

Watched 5 or 6 episodes on Friday night with a few beers.

Then my wife wanted to watch them so watched them all again over a lazy Sunday.

Brilliant, love it all! Only problem is I now support so many drivers I'm not sure who to cheer for any more.

Claire Williams though????
