The biggest sin Bernie committed was placing too much power in the hands of the manufacturer teams, plus RB, at the expense of the privateer teams. Once their self interest started to influence the direction of the sport then things started to deteriorate dramatically. He gave away the heart and sou...

How can you go wrong in a country that has over 400 different types of cheese at a track with 167 different layouts? I liked Paul Ricard over Magny Cours although I don't hold out much hope for an exciting, or even an entertaining, race. I'll echo the comments of others saying how disappointing it i...

Vettel, Bottas & Leclerc for me

Driver adopts Darth Vader voice - "I have you now!" But that aside the whole premise of thinking about F1 in the shower is disturbing. Come on, I think most men have had thoughts about their 'Pole Position' whilst in the shower. Whats the old saying about teenager and washing hair and middle age an...

And to those who want to do away with pit stops.... I give you Canada 2018.

Imagine this race, supposedly one of the best overtaking circuits on the calendar, 3 DRS zones, with no pit stops.

To be fair, Mercedes are the ones pushing the aero cull next season.

Yeah and i'm sure their motives are totally utilitarian.

I'm sorry but F1 is s!!t these days. I think you have to be 1.5 seconds faster to actually have a chance to overtake. I'm watching F1 for some 25 years, it seems it's worse than ever. I've always wondered why supposedly some very bright people who run this sport are able to come up with such defect...

If Ferrari re-sign Raikonnen for next year it's obvious they have no interest in winning the constructors championship.

Time to hang up the helmet Kimi.

Electric or pull start?

I'd settle for any manufacturer as a supplier only and with no "factory team" affiliation with any team.

Wouldn't mind seeing a Cosworth, Ilmore, Mugan, Judd, Hart type representation on the grid.

Canada eh.

I’m finding myself agreeing with your posts more and more......... You poor deluded soul. A good psychologist should be able to get you back on the straight and narrow in just a few visits.

I think you raise a good point about the grid penalties putting faster cars below their "normal" position on the grid. There's always a danger of looking at overtaking figures out of context and as you rightly point out DRS has had a massive influence in that area, but does it make the racing bette...

They will never drop Max... Too much excitement :D .... Hoping Daniel has a very good season this year. Never say never. Monaco is the first race where RB went from publicly defending Max to public warning him. If he continues to crash, make no mistake, he'll be removed. It'll just take longer than...

I think you're completely missing the point here. It's the balance of conservation over performance that is being questioned. And the 80s were not "all about fuel conservation." It just took them a little time to understand the turbos, that's all. This year the tyres don't have to be nursed quite a...

What about Sainz? He is only on loan to Renault. I think if hartley does get replaced it may well come down to who the RBR team use as an engine supplier. I'm pretty sure RB can only bring Sainz back for a gig with the main team, not for the supporting act. It won't happen but i'd like to see Kvyat...

Introduce more tactical and strategic options. I really can't see the issues here. Monaco presents a different challenge to almost every other circuit. I for one think the race on the weekend, while not full of action, was gripping and well worth the time investment. If I may use this analogy. Who w...

This surely shouldn't surprise anyone.

Welcome to the two tiered, master & servant world of F1 in the new millennium but hey, as long as the servants are competitive with each other and don't get in way of the masters then all is good.

Isnt the renault engine off the table? There is only a honda engine for redbull in 2019 and 2020 right? Well I thought that to originally but apparently not. Renault are prepared to supply RB with engines next year and beyond http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/11269833/renault-give-red-bull-dea...

Why is everyone saying it was a snoozefest?? I thought it was a brilliant race. You are the easily-pleased fan Liberty is hoping for :lol: I don't think so.

A nonsense approach. It also discriminates against younger, newer drivers. While he's down this season, you can argue Verstappen is already one of the all time greats of F1, maybe perhaps the greatest. At the end of 2017, we all felt that way. He isn't even on the list, which basically nullifies th...

While I commend them on their effort & agree with their # 1 pick, looking at the list I think Jeff Lynn and the boys should stick to singing.

Jezza13

If Ricciardo can get into turn 1 in the lead, then all things being equal he should walk it in.

Jezza13

So when was the last time a driver topped the time sheets in every practice session, every qualy session, set fastest lap in the race and won the race?

It's on the cards this weekend.

That's an excuse. Verstappen had ample time to abort the lap and straight line swimming pool exit.

He's not the first driver to come across a car on that part of the track but true to form he's the one to make a meal of it all.

1. Ricciardo

So the question I ask is this. Hypothetically, lets say Makino's car survived the impact with nothing more than a damaged Halo & a few scratches to the body work and was able to carry on racing as normal. Would Makino have been shown the black & orange flag, been forced to come into the pits and re...

Isn't that just a virtual safety car? not if only the lead car drives to a delta. It effectively becomes the SC. The rest will catch up to him as per normal SC conditions and then follow behind. Point is the delta could be a little quicker than the current SC manages. SC Driver can be trusted to ru...

Agree with all of the aove. Cataluyna's a dump for producing exciting racing. Motorland Aragón Jerez Not sure if they are grade 1 though. Surely either track would be better then Catalunya. They're both grade 1 tracks but I'm not convinced Jerez would be an improvement. Aragon could be ok. If rumour...
