Female drivers will never reach Formula 1 because young males (and their fathers) cannot accept being beaten by a woman.

Unpopular opinion or not, this is one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever read on this forum.

I'm confused as to what we're voting for - is it Gasly's penalty or Alonso's penalty for his move on Mick ? :thumbup: In that case... deserved! I was gutted though as I had high hopes for Fernando after Saturday. What seemed strange to me was the overall pace of the field relative to the conditions...

Be interesting to see the proposed layout of the new track, but I fear this year's race will be quite a borefest based on the layout.

We should all agree to stop the ever escalating tally of good/bad fortune lewis and max have had and are having, where does it stop!

Indeed... reminds me of the 'what if a dinosaur ate Alonso?' meme

MistaVega23

I'm amazed Norris got away with his pit lane entry, surely that is a black and white thing. The race was weirdly absorbing for 46 laps despite not much happening. The end of the race was carnage. Disappointing for Norris, whose inexperience showed, but McLaren should have ordered him in although it...

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/netflix-would-think-about-f1-buyout-to-stream-races/6672924/ Netflix is saying it wouldn't stream any live sport but then goes on to say that if it did, it would want to fully-own the sport otherwise it would have no control over the content. What would it want to ...

The few drivers who have equaled or surpassed their famous fathers would be Damon Hill , Max Verstappen, Nico Rosberg, & Keving Magnussen. Certainly Jacques Villeneuve had a better career than his dad Gilles but who can say what Gilles would have done with a long career. Probably for another thread...

MistaVega23

Id forgotten about those initial years of coming close, before ultimately getting his third title. Also forgot how close that was, was it a strategy blunder by mclaren with hiw michael got ahead in the second stops? I also forgot just how dirty his move on villeneuve was ! Strange man in many ways,...

We've all seen how hot-headed Verstappen can be - Brazil 2018 being a prime example.

Just because he couldn't bear the thought of a 'slower car' unlapping himself he chose to race Ocon, and lost a win as a result.

The boy just doesn't learn.

MistaVega23

Re-watching the start and Max doesn't even attempt to go around the outside of Daniel into turn one.

Would he have done the same if it was Lewis who beat him off the line?

MistaVega23

Red Bull did it in 2019 too, so nothing to do with Kimi's number. It's just branding.

I loved the Superman branding they did several years back.

MistaVega23

A bit underwhelmed by this. Although with less pressure than when he was at RB maybe we'll see a better driver?

MistaVega23

Who raced for 3 different teams in 3 consecutive races?

MistaVega23

I was actually on the first series of this, and remember praying that an F1 question would come up... in the end we just had Michael Jackson songs and Johnny Depp films

I do remember the F1 Tenable episode and managed to get them all correct though!

MistaVega23

Not sure if anyone's seen this but an some interesting comments from Horner:

Max wanted to slam the door in Lewis's face, Lewis stuck his foot in the gap and the door banged back in Max's face. Moral of the story, make sure a foot isn't within range of the door when you slam it.

Best analogy I've read on this incident so far

Brilliant format, looking forward to the next couple and hopefully more of it next year.

Not sure if sarcasm or...?

MistaVega23

Finally we can wave goodbye to the horrible step-noses.

Nice and clean-looking... I wonder what the dimensions are compared to the 2021 cars?

MistaVega23

Before my time so never watched him race, but aware of his achievements and how respected he was in F1 circles.

RIP.

MistaVega23

There's only so much even the greatest drivers can do in inferior machinery. See Senna in 94, Schumacher in 05 for a couple of examples. Do you mean 1993? Schumacher's 2005 season was wrecked by tyres; apparently the F2005 was on a par with the 2004 car, we just didn't have the chance to see it due...

There was a similar one in Bahrain called 'Albon's Career' on the last corner

MistaVega23

Sounds like Singapore is going to be cancelled for the second year in a row. F1 assessing options for a replacement. Also saw a headline this morning that any F1 personnel going to Netherlands in September will need a vaccine. It's probable there may be double header at COTA to compensate for the c...

MistaVega23

Seems a legit point to me. Red Bull has been in flexiwing controversies before.

Personally I don't see any favouritism shown to Mercedes more than anyone else on the grid.

MistaVega23

His pole lap at Silverstone 2007 was mega, although back then it was qualifying with race fuel so not exactly a 'level' playing field.

Singapore 2018 is my choice.

MistaVega23

Might be a stupid question but what will the performance difference be? I haven't looked into it yet...

MistaVega23

I'm 5 episodes in and feel it's definitely catered to non-F1 people. I enjoy the behind the scenes stuff but the on-track action is just laughable. The DAS in Austria clip is almost embarrassing! It's a shame they don't use the 10 episodes to focus each episode on each team and make them an hour long.

MistaVega23

I've had the same feelings with the Verstappens and Schumachers. The only downside with Mick joining the grid in '21 is that his father won't be in the garage to cheer him on. Watching their dads drive flat out for years and suddenly their offspring are lining up to create their own history... it ju...

MistaVega23

It seems fitting that the first F1 race I watched with my dad was Monaco '92. The strange thing is, it wasn't the battle between Senna and Mansell that captivated me, it was Murray's commentary. His love for Damon was so obvious, but less annoying than the Hamilton love-fest we see from commentators...

1. Alpine - a beautiful shade of blue 2. Aston Martin - would be no.1 if they stuck to the yellow stripes and not added the pink 3. Alfa Romeo - a nice switch-up to last year's livery 4. Alphatauri - same as Alfa 5. McLaren - nice and simple, hasn't gone too overboard 6. Haas - I quite like the Russ...

MistaVega23

Feeling quite emotional right now. The voice of motorsport (not just F1, I loved his BTCC and motorcycle commentary as well) and the most addictive voice I've ever heard in sport. My first GP experience at Silverstone 2012 ended with the post-race party and Murray was brought on stage - I'll never f...

Off-topic (well, circuit-related), someone has highlighted the final corner of Sakhir on Google Maps as 'Albon's Career'

It's so weird seeing MSC on the timing screens again.

MistaVega23

It looks like one of the default liveries on Codemasters' My Team feature.

Not a fan, TBH.

MistaVega23

Feels a bit 'backmarker' to me. Although it's nice and clean I must say.

The Russian influence is strong too.

MistaVega23

Just watched the live stream - good to have Jaguar back!

Justfeel the Aston Martin car will be the best looking car on the grid! Real excited for the car launch.

I'm hoping this too, but can't help but feel we'll be let down, especially now they've stuck with BWT (how are they going to fit the pink into it??)

MistaVega23

Best livery so far.

MistaVega23

only thing that jumps out is the Honda logo, no effort to make that compliement the rest of the livery. Looks like a bit like "crap, we forgot Honda" "No worries, there's a gap down there,slap on on one those free stickers they gave out at the trade show, sorted" :lol: Whenever I see a white sidepo...

MistaVega23

It seems to me that F1 is trying its hardest to get rid of its long-standing, die-hard fanbase and replace it with what looks like the tiktok-dancing, instagram-pouting generation.

DRS was the final gimmick I'd accepted. Now this?
