Re: Silly Season 2023

Not with a world champion, unless Nico was at any point. But even so, they'd have to have thrown a lot of faith behind Russell to be so lax with Lewis IF it's Mercedes' choice for it to be a one year deal. They did a single year deal with Hamilton. I think it was for 2021. IF Mercedes did have the ...

Re: Which of the current grid has the best first win?

I voted Russell before reading the thread. I probably made a mistake, but fighting off Lewis for those closing laps was a huge thing for him. I don't honestly remember much of the 2003 season beyond Fisichella winning in Brazil, but as others have said, qualifying rules played their part there. Not ...

Re: The big 6 then the rest?

I think it's clear to us all that the Red Bull - Hungary aside - is a dominant force. But if that negates the driver, then Nicolas Kiesa or Channock Nissany must be the GOAT. Verstappen is not head and shoulders above the pack. But he's absolutely one of the best drivers out there. Realistically it'...

Re: Get rid of Fridays

It does help Liberty's randomiser desires, but it also serves efficiency and environmental concerns. Bit of a double-edged sword. Do you think that the teams are really interested in the environment? In my view it is almost all window dressing. Yes and no. Their priority obviously is winning, but t...

Norris is signed on until the end of 2025. He shouldn't even be thinking about making a decision RE 2026 until he see's how the pecking order is then or at least get a feel for who is doing best with the new engine.

Nissany destroyed the race of three drivers (Stanek, Vesti, Hauger) during SC by his stupid driving. He received a 10-second penalty dropping him five places outside the points-paying positions, i.e. losing effectively nothing. IMO, the penalty system is not convincing. Nissany has been a terrible ...

Re: de Vries sacking - Fair or not?

I voted give him the season, but realistically this is the Red Bull junior program. First, he wasn't an RB junior. Second, they are ruthless at the best of times. Look at Vergne and Buemi being ditched because neither schooled the other. Both really solid drivers. Alguersuari too, but he had major h...

In short, no, and concepts like DAS prove that. They're as good as anyone at finding great ideas, which frankly should have been encouraged since it's a good way to warm tyres sans blankets, but hey ho.

Setting aside sprint weekends, I agree. Make it 1 hour of practice and then qualifying on the Saturday, and Sunday as normal.
