I was thinking.. you could keep ICEs around if you power them with hydrogen instead of gasoline. It's an option I never see mentioned. But this way you could have good sounding engines while also being green and clean. That depends on why you want rid of the ICE. If you are keeping it, shy not keep...

Another thing to keep in mind, but only the engine makers will know this, New developments. It is always 'too soon' to state the engine is ready. There are always a handful of things in the pipeline and not quite there, but at a deadline the engine goes as it is. A team could find a real humdinger i...

Now the important bit where we really find out who is flying and who is in trouble... Who has protested what against who? Any 'clarification of the rules' requested? Or is it early days yet so they will have too much time to put things right? There are a few 'Slots' that look very like holes to me, ...

I love CVT and have had several. Its a learned technique to get the best out of them. There are 'grades' of CVT too. The Nissan one is streets infront of the Ford one, so much so you would not believe it is the same thing. Subaru is prob the best I have had.

So considering the above, is it a good idea to arm Teachers and rely on them to act 'as instructed'? Do they spend a day a month at the range? What if it is one of the teachers that does the shooting? Going down this path is just stupidity. Even bringing in reliable 'guards' is a slippery slope. A ...

I was concerned about the driver getting in and out, and here is Gasley's take on it “I don’t like it, it’s a big mess to get in the car and get out,” he said. “I think my suit is already broken, so we’ll have to ask for many suits from Alpine Stars this year. “Already, it’s only the first day and I...

The thing is how they do the change, if they do. If they wait for it to happen it will take a long time as the 'letric cars go head to head with the ICE cars, but if they say ' right, from 2025 ALL are electric' then they will only be racing like for like and we probably would not see much differenc...

There was a photograph of the Mclaren with scorch marks on the 'hump' and notifying that an exhaust clamp had broken.
How ever it seems to have taken all afternoon to fix. Not a quick line of weld then?

The parent Bacardi group are seemingly done with F1. I'd like to know why that is before claiming it has anything to do with Williams' choice of drivers You are right about jumping to conclusions of course, but the reason companies leave is because they feel they are not getting their moneys worth....

moby

I also get the feeling they have had lots of negative feedback through things like ' Williams can not have a driver under 25' etc and young drivers seem to have a huge following before they come to F1, or be refused a seat in F1 due to Martini. There also seems to be a move to run more races in coun...

Why? They still have rowing, sailing, horse race etc. Just because there are alternatives, why kill the original? I want to see a move away from this 'Road Relevance'.

If you truly believe that any part of the motor racing world "didn't skip a beat" after the Le Mans disaster you clearly have no idea. From 1965 (my first year following F1) through to 2009, the absence of Mercedes as a works team in F1 was seldom discussed. Even during Mercedes return to LeMans in...

If I remember correctly, "formula one" was defined in 1946 and the first races according to this formula took place 1946/ 1947 (including grand-prix races). The first Formula One World Championship took place in 1950. I never knew that, it's quite interesting The definition of Formula is - a method...

How many think FIA will backtrack and remove the Halo now they have mandated it?

First, They dont want to be seen backtracking and maybe they were wrong, and second, can you imagine what would happen if the year after the dropped it there was an indecent that the Halo really would have saved?

I do not for one second believe Ferrari will go, but thinking about it, it could be the reset many people have been calling for (not me, I like it hi tec) Without Ferrari, how many others would either leave or seriously throttle back their spend?

I know it probably shows I have a warped sense of perspective, but after thinking my first reaction of well, maybe the Halo does not look as bad as I feared, I wondered has anyone here seen a driver get in or out with it on?

Came to think about how small, nimble and racy F1 cars used to look until the end of 2008. What would you prefer, the ''2008-look'' or the ''2017/18-look''? Defiantly small and perfectly formed for me. I would like to see them half the size and 1/3 the weight. To me, the flying saucer floor and sno...

A new rumour has surfaced! A British energy drinks company named Rich Energy is in talks to purchase Force India. They've put a quotation of around £200 million for buying Force India.

The next debate now, who escorts the kids to and on the grid? Some of them I assume will be well under the age of being able/allowed to act alone in a dangerous place.
