I was thinking more like ok, X driver (say - Max, Charles or Lewis) won this race, it's clear he's the best. It couldn't be a more clear-cut case. Or at least best at the moment? Then again I would expect the normal school-yard responses from people, "best out of 3", "that didn't count, the sun was...

“Safe distance of around 3 seconds that had gradually decreased to 2.6 seconds” makes no sense and deep inside you know this is a lie. There is zero benefits in allowing a gap to close up to the point where even a small pit stop mistake can cost you the lead. You’re just arguing for the sake of arg...

To be fair, we do have some posters here who have genuine inside sources, and I don't expect them to disclose those. But it does require a fairly long history of posting credible/accurate rumors for that sort of non-sourced rumor to be taken as anything but noise.

Pulling was 7th in race 1 & 6th in race 3 at the Brands Hatch British F4 meeting. She not only drove away from the grid twice (safety car) in race 2 but also was 0.25s faster than anyone else on her way to a fine win. The contempt directed against X chromosome drivers by some Y chromosome commenter...

The street level of the "L" would make a horribly dangerous circuit (with horrible spectator sightlines). Perhaps the roads along the lakefront would be much more amenable to racing. That area at least is rather open and commonly serves large festivals pretty much each weekend over the summer. That...

3rd place for Chadwick in Nxt, her first podium, and Abbi Pulling wins a race in British F4 (albeit reversed grid pole). I did wonder if that was the case with Pulling She did win by a pretty sizable margin I believe (4+ seconds), so although reverse grid poles are never quite as meritorious, it wa...

I never denied that Verstappen would have won in Silverstone without the debris damage, I deny that this is because of a superior car. The fact that Leclerc lost 5 points of downforce because he broke his front wing on Perez, and still he was comfortably quicker than Sainz and clearly being held up...

Obviously he races his teammates hard which has caused numerous fallings out. I can see why that would put off a team from signing him but it's not what I would call dirty. I don't recall anytime where he deliberately crashed into someone. I'll be honest I've no recollection of the him and Hamilton...

Remember - when a female is in a race - every male thinks they have bump her whenever possible. Do they bump them in qualifying as well. Every opportunity they get. It's hard to take you seriously. I have actually observed this behavior at kart tracks. Not so much in qualifying, although if the for...

Exediron

No he was faster in qualifying as well the practice sessions just showing how he was dominating the weekend he was favourite to win the race. Are we talking just single laps from practice sessions? Or long run data? Because if it's just single laps, no one is really questioning the idea that Lecler...

Looking at it again I think you have too many tiers... Looking at the state of play as of now I think I would suggest something like Tier 1 - Verstappen Tier 2 - Norris, Leclerc, Alonso Tier 3 - Sainz, Hamilton, Russell Tier 4 - Perez, Hulkenberg, Ocon, Gasly, Bottas, Tsunoda, Albon, Piastri Tier 5...

Let’s go back to what was originally claimed, Mercedes in 2019 had “competition throughout the season”: By a certain metric, it's arguably true. Mercedes in 2019 had a similar level of competition throughout the season, unlike Red Bull in 2022 (Mercedes was actually the slower car more often in the...

I have had a go at the timings. All pit entry to pit exit, timings as per F1TV race repeat. Norris on his pit lap: 54:12 - 54:45 = 33s Verstappen behind the safety car: 54:48 - 55:09 = 21s Perez driving to the delta 54:59 - 55:17 = 18s Verstappen on his regular pit stop: 44:15 - 44:47 = 32s All tim...

What I see is struggling drivers, what you see is a bad car. Russell by all accounts is really no better than Albon and therefore one must assume he is not insanely talented. Which means that he at least is unlikely to extract a great deal of performance from a fickle car. Hamilton has only driven ...

That's him basically working out his 1 year gardening leave away from the F1 team, if all he wanted to do was retire why the need to negotiate anything. I think it achieves two aims, despite the split be amicable. Newey can't work in a 2025 challenger, so that championship will probably be in the b...

Can you imagine the conspiracy theories if something like this assisted Verstappen to a win. Totally different situation now. In 2021, assisting Verstappen to a win was a way to break the stranglehold of Mercedes domination and confirm the hype that had already been heaped on Verstappen as The Next...

Charles was leading when he retired. Max had 31/32 laps to cut down a 15 second lead or so, and then pass Charles. Charles would have to make his tires last 41 laps compared to 31/32 laps for Max. We have no idea how it would have played out, because we didn't get to see Charles vs. Max on the same...

Note that I did not watch the 'Sprint', and as such I will be basing everything anecdotal on the actual race. I consider it to be the far more important event, although with qualifying I'll give similar weight to both. Verstappen over Perez -- Respectable by Perez, or poor drive by Max's standards? ...

As of today, Hamilton and Norris have completed the same number of races for McLaren - 110. I find that stat incredible. I still think of Norris as a relatively new driver having just progressed from the rookie era of his career....... Where as it seemed like Hamilton was at McLaren for a long time...

Again, the phrase was "as fast as RB" not "faster than RB". I think it's been shown that Ferrari was close enough to RB/Max in 11 or 12 of the first 13 races (exceptions being Imola and perhaps Miami) for that comment to be considered valid. Feel free to offer analysis or your reasoning for believi...

Norris and Hamilton for me. Qualifying wasn't great for either, but come race day they both delivered. Ocon doesn't get my vote because of how he and Gasly fought on the first few laps.

this race yesterday was a fine reminder that without the car Max cant win just like everyone in f1, and that he does mistakes too. Yes, Max makes mistakes, just like every other driver. You seem to be acknowledging that Max didn't have the best car this weekend, I think most that watched would agre...

Update - Sainz has gotten a penalty & got demoted to 5th whereas Perez climbs to 4th.

That'll cost me 5 points, I think. But it could cost me the win if someone else gains a lot.

Worse but still somewhat defeats what you said, in 2019 Mercedes had competition throughout the season, in 2022 Red Bull had little competition in the second half of the season. Red Bull 2022 had more and stronger competition than Mercedes 2019 at every stage. Ferrari were not a factor after TD039,...

After the latest McLaren upgrade, maybe I don't want Newey to come back to Woking! Everything seems to be working too well to want to rock the boat.

We have gone over this before without you providing an adequate answer. Ferrari does not have this goldmine of data on Hamilton, as I am sure you must be aware. Therefore Ferrari's decision is literally a shot in the dark compared to the drivers it currently employs. Teams have far more data on dri...

You will remember my position that Hamilton is showing signs of decline similar to Schumacher at the end of his career. already clearly visible last year. The trend is plain for everyone to see, but you have to want to see it. I see mainly a decline in the car which can easily sway people. Hamilton...
