With unreliability in the mix, the relative performances of Verstappen and Ricciardo are in truth hard to read at this point. Max had a run of mistakes where there was probably a wavering of confidence.. but he is past that now. They are both great drivers, and the both their relative strengths. Ho...

I think this is a good move for Ricciardo. Clearly for whatever reason Max has been chosen as the next F1 Megastar and you do not want to be in a team with someone like that. Plus, I'm not convinced the Honda engine is going to be the one to deliver a WDC for either him or Max... plus Renault is a w...

Vergne not capitalising on an advantage doesn't mean there isn't one. We saw it with Alonso and Button as well. Starting one row apart but one of them either gets... A free choice of tyres which depending on what circuit and conditions that weekend can be a massive advantage Fresher tyres usually b...

Besides, if Perez doesn't have another team after him is he supposed to just keep driving for free indefinitely?

ALESI

However, I think Lewis has a bit of a point. The commentary lacks the verve and vigour for the moment and the appreciation of a rarer performance as it's unfolding. In their defence the tone was set early when the Formula 1B cars just waved him through , it clearly really annoyed them. Not Lewis's ...

Ah for the good old days when you could use the hard, medium and soft - all at once!

Yeah that is a BIG problem...

It's one thing for a no-hope backmarker to slide into bankruptcy, it's quite another for a team like FI. Proof if ever it were needed that Liberty need to address the finances of the sport.

ALESI

Surely if Kimi knew it was his last year he would have ignored the order if anything?

ALESI

https://www.planetf1.com/news/pirelli-will-refer-to-hard-medium-and-soft/ Doubtless this will lead to cries of 'dumbing down' and 'pandering to the masses', but I think this is actually a good idea. Pirelli are still going to let us know which tyres they are actually bringing but they will simply de...

Why should we protect any runners more than others? As I've said before I think they should be treated the same from the first to the last race and wherever they are in the championship. If Hamilton or Vettel cause an accident meaning another team loses a place in the WCC it could cause a massive f...

ALESI

Wow, just wow. If we're going to take luck completely out of the championship then why not just have qualifying in Australia and award the title and points accordingly. Honestly, this may be the single stupidest idea I've ever read on this forum and that's saying something! You are going to extreme...

ALESI

It might look more diverse to a very casual F1 fan but for me (and I would imagine for most on here) it would make literally no difference. I don't think I've ever referred to Red Bull's PU as anything but Renault regardless of how it is branded, and Sauber's Alfa Romeo tie-up (which doesn't actual...

I think the penalty was a bit harsh but it also cost Lewis greatly. Having said that, one thing to keep in mind is that Kimi has been one of the cleanest drivers throughout his career. He's always fought wheel to wheel as hard as anyone but I can't recall Kimi blatantly or aggressively turn n on an...

Maybe it was more punishable to punt Hamilton than it was Bottas? Some people do inexplicably believe this, yes. Not Hamilton specifically, but there are some prominent figures in the paddock who seem to believe that hitting a title contender warrants a larger punishment than normal and this has be...

ALESI

It would have made more sense to give Seb 10s and Kimi 5 secs... but a few years ago this wouldn't have even been investigated - a first lap crash on cold tyres and full tanks, instant racing incident. As CoN said, it wasn't remotely reckless, just unfortunate... it's almost like they don't want the...

ALESI

I expect Bottas to a win a race sooner or later this year. I don't see Kimi doing it.

ALESI

DC and Suzie Wolff were very vocal that Kimi's penalty was not harsh enough at the weekend, their main thrust seemed to be that in that situation the offending driver should be put back behind the driver who was sinned against. Leaving aside that it was Lewis who got hit at the British GP, and that ...

Don't they fine drivers who don't attend pres conferences? Surely the parc-ferme interview is an 'official' engagement, no?

How exactly was Hamilton's floor supposed to be ripped off anyway?

Ten seconds completely inadequate penalty... for a non deliberate first lap racing incident.

And DC, we have to take into account the Championship when handing out penalties.

Seriously. No!

FFS Suzie, how many seconds would you give Kimi? 20, 30, 40, 50....

Really DC, you think the penalty should be that the offender has to come out behind the victim? Absolutely no margin for mischief there eh?

There must be some unique stats for Brawn, not least 100% record in the WCC and WDC.

From another site here is a selection of the radio traffic. Hamilton: “Anything I should be aware of?” Bonnington: “Nothing at the moment. Let’s just target Verstappen’s lap times.” Bonnington: “VSC, Keep the delta positive.” Bonnington: “OK Lewis it will be box at the end of this lap if we are sti...

Why didn't Hartley just drive through that huge gap and away from the trackside?

ALESI

Surely if Max pits and Kimi has the chance to win the race he will tell Ferrari to shove it, the guy hasn't won a race since about 2011.

Max's rear tyre looks a bit ropey now...
