I can think of many reasons why I might not like them, and "they remind me of a spare tire[sic]" isn't among them. Tire is the correct spelling in American English, and I believe Canada as well. Tyre is used in the UK and Australia. Even though I am English, I saw tire used so many times so I went ...

Great footage of the new car:

Looks like wet tyres on a dry track. Interesting

In the UK you have to have tread on the tyres to drive it on the road to get it home!

It saddens me to see the exultant response to Masi's demise. Hamilton has 40 million reasons to drive this season, 7 WDC's to compensate him as well as the respect of all his peers as the best driver of his generation. In the great scheme of things he's lost nothing! Spare athought for the guy whos...

. 1: There was NOTHING in the rules/regulations that allowed Masi to allow ONLY those lapped cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to unlap themselves. By doing so the F1 championship was fiddled, and the probable likely winner, Hamilton, was robbed of the title. (IN ADDITION, and now mostly forgott...

My feeling is somehow this is all going to end in anticlimax with the WDC being decided by engine/gearbox failure. Sorry but one is due!

Option or Prime

On the talk of the undercut, will that work here with the issues teams are having warming the tyres up? Maybe not a huge problem for Red Bull compared to others. On the possible gearbox change. I didn’t think that it looked that big an impact for Verstappen so my initial instinct is that the gearbo...

Why do you think only Merc and Red Bull could be at the front? Big regulation change next year. Neither could challenge for the next few championships. Thats the point I was making really, surely the best aerodynamicists and engineers are going to produce the best cars. Those people have proven to ...

I simply do not understand what is happening at Mercedes. On top of the recent acquisition by Red Bull of several top Mercedes engineers it now seems that Mercedes have lost their chief aerodynamicist Eric Blandin . Does this mean they have so much spare capacity that they can let these people go? ...

It'll be interesting to see who actually bothers with the race track this weekend. They've just announced you don't have to.

Completely agree, its a rubbish precedent limits are limits in my view, there was run off in this instance but what happens if there is something more solid?

Option or Prime

If there is no penalty and given Leclerc's comments I would advise Max Verstappen not to try any outside overtakes this weekend or if he does fit 'cross country tyres' first!

Option or Prime

The more I watch the onboard the more I think Max's only real mistake was to actually go as far as running right off the track. If he'd still done the late-brake and reduced steering angle, forced Lewis to back out but managed to stay within track limits himself I think it would have been OK. Also ...

Lewis Hamilton is launching a black teacher scheme in Science, Technology and Maths subjects to address that particular shortage. Good to see some action rather than rhetoric.

I'd love to do that, not sure I could get the same air as some of those drivers though!

100 wins is a hell of an achievement. I don't think we'll see it again as long as we stay in the 20-25 races a season ballpark given the direction of the sport. I think that Max can do it. Next season will tell us if Max can do it or not. It all depends on RB nailing the new formula and having a si...

Can you imagine the Red Bull response if two laps under the safety car based on FP2 positions decided the race?

Option or Prime

Both incidents are predominantly Hamilton’s fault. Verstappen got a penalty for Monza because the stewards felt that it would be more “fair” after they gave Hamilton a penalty for Silverstone. I know the stewarding is confusing and erratic but to suggest penalties are handed out with no regard to t...

Seems to me that F1 drivers tolerated dives by Vesrtappen and to a certain extend Ricciardo and Kvyat whilst they were new to F1. Those drivers have now matured or moved on. Problem now is that MV still expects cars to dive way or give room when none is available. Hamilton has the experience, car an...

The crowd at Monza was so small they made a 15m Euro loss on the event. Liberty has said the race's future isn't secure. Liberty only care about the number of races in a season, they have absolutely no interest in retaining specific venues whatever the history behind them. Unless it turns them a pr...

Mikeyg123 do you agree that MV has a bad and quick temper and 'gets the red mist' as evidenced by his language and behaviour?

Do you think this trait is potentially dangerous for an F1 driver?

Option or Prime

Verstappen saw red mist yesterday. While I still think it was a racing incident, Verstappen's 'pass or crash' ultimatum shows he can't control his emotions. We've seen him bail out a sum total of one time this season at Portugal when Hamilton squeezed him on the exit. Hamilton has been far more for...

Max and Lewis are both in a situation where it's better to crash and take eachother out than concede track position. Unless that changes or the penalties given become much harsher then that will continue. I agree, the problem with this weekend is that we had a demo of what to do to definitely avoid...

Big shame that there is no discussion on here of how well McLaren did or what a great start Ricciardo made to get in front or Norris' overtaking at this Grand Prix. Russell was in the points for Williams again as well. There are other exciting drivers on the circuit besides Hamilton and Verstappen a...

Isn't it time that an element of standardisation was applied as a basic requirement for a GP? A wall or a barrier is clearly going to inhibit an dodgy overtake but where there is ant sort of run off shouldn't there be a consensus on how its constructed. For example no sausage curve, or gravel strips...

Option or Prime

It strikes me that Max is trying to channel the Schumacher/Senna way of racing. That dominating driver who sometimes goes a bit too far in their attempt to be unbeatable. Problem is, Max hasn't yet shown the speed that Schumacher and Senna served up, race after race, season after season. Thing is t...

3 place grid drop at next race for Max.

I was worried he would get a 10 sec time penalty for this race!

But but but he didnt leave the track....lol Max just overspeeds into corners expecting others to bail. Like lap 1 turn 4. Imagine lewis had left him the room, maxs speed was such he would have essentially run over the mercs front wing Agree with this, MV believes he has a divine right at times, for...

Agree with the above, fascinating to see different lines being tried and coming off as well at times. Some of the arial stuff was crazy and its great to see the women getting their heads round it as well. Catie Munnings and Molly Taylor were excellent.

Sebastian Loeb is something else though!

Option or Prime

Finally some explicit confirmation that the Red Bull cars have been developed with Max's ability to cope with instability in corners. Part of that is adapting to a different car concept and it is accepted by Red Bull that its car can be quite nervous on corner entry. That is a consequence of the de...

Pretty damning that it has to be flagged up at all!

They can't touch it because they suspect the MGUK might cause electrocution. In addition apparently the marshalls have the wrong fire extinguishers !
