My prediction is F1 will remain in part, as it is now really, a fossil fuel sport for another 30+ years. Car manufacturers are aiming to stop PRODUCING petrol/diesel cars in the next 20ish years, but that means they WILL be producing petrol/diesel engines for the next 20ish years too. There are stil...

It has happened at last.

I don't there's anyone here who would say that a female F1 driver who could mix it with the likes of Perez, Hulkenberg, Magnussen et al, week in, week out, would be considered a failure. Absolutely. They don't necessarily need to be able to take on Hamilton or Verstappen - that would eliminate half...

I must admit being guilty of supporting the sniffpetrol.com "Stop The C*ck" campaign to try and get rid of James Allen back in the day :lol: As has already been said by a few, I think James Allen had the misfortune of following Murray Walker - and despite his many mistakes he was peerless in my opin...

https://www.planetf1.com/news/hamilton-wont-allow-netflix-to-use-german-gp-footage/ Seems a shame.

You've totally missed the point. Odds would say you won't get a top level racing driver from Stevenage because only a tiny % of everyone trying to make it comes from Stevenage. But you only need to produce one with enough talent who try's karting and they might make it. Odds would say you won't get...

I honestly still believe he deserved a chance to race again after all his hard work to get back into an F1 car. To make it to the grid again after all that he's been through is an achievement in itself and something he should be incredibly proud of. But now, someone at Williams needs to make the to...

SteveW

It's not that easy now... Williams is selling the seats for sponsor money so they can't decide alone... They actually signed complicated and combined big deal with Orlen. Orlen is a polish petrol concern that has absolutely zero interest in sponsoring Williams without Kubica in the seat. It's possi...

Has Interlagos in recent years not been upgrading the facilities solely for the benefit of the F1?

I watched the first W Series race too, and also enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It's clear there is a massive difference between the best on the grid and the worst. Jamie Chadwick appeared to be well in control (once she'd recovered from going wide on the first lap). But on the whole it was ...

I don't think I can put words together that come even close to what you've written there Jezza. I also remember watching the race live.

I have Sky F1 channel for this year now and was looking forward to watching a few Indy races along with the F1 races on there, but I keep forgetting to check when the races are!
Series record perhaps?

yeah OK, fair comment
