Couldn't they use the Q1 results as the starting order of the sprint? That way they could still have two practice sessions.

Friday: FP1, FP2
Saturday: Qualifying, sprint shootout
Sunday: GP

As someone who's colorblind, I've struggled for years to follow who said what in nested quotes as I found it real difficult to differentiate between the shades of the quotes. This is a brilliant change. So easy to see now. Thanks heaps. Yes kudos from another colour blind person :thumbup: The only ...

I have always felt Leclerc is a bit overrated and wouldn't count out Lewis on either Saturdays or Sundays, of course it's hard to estimate how long it will take for him to adapt to the new car.
Voted Equal on Sat and Sun but early in the season Leclerc should have the advantage.

When Hamilton joined Mercedes in 2013 many thought it was a bad move. I wonder if Hamilton has seen something we haven't or he has the confidence to turn things around. He's even getting some folks from Mercedes to Ferrari to help Ferrari reach the summit. Newey to Ferrari, you heard it here first.

The money talk is pointless because we have know idea if Hamilton is being paid a billion dollars a year or if he's driving for a chocolate hob knob and a happy ending from Fred.

Anyone reporting anything on the subject is doing nothing but total guess work.

Alonso gobbled up Massa and Räikkönen without any trouble and quite honestly Vettel was far from an improvement as his successor at Ferrari. Hamilton lost out to Button and 2022 was also not great, all champions have had a few seasons hardly worth remembering. Edit: grammar. Massa who got beat by B...

I'm going to go with Tuukka Taponen, the finnish Ferrari Academy driver. Currently he leading the Formula Regional Middle East championship as a rookie, and after two rounds (six races) he's started stronger than Antonelli last year. This weekend (round two) he absolutely destroyed everyone else, be...

Interesting way of ranking the drivers, really rewards drivers that are capable of maintaining high form over a long period of time.

BTW where is Kimi in the final rankings? And I believe you should give MSC 34 points?

I, for instance, refuse to believe that RB - who I consider to be the smartest, sharpest, and most competitive team in F1 - to be naive or dumb enough to miscalculate more than a dozen cost categories. The only thing I'd say to this is that the people at RBR who make up the smartest, sharpest, and ...

He's 37 wins behind Schumacher, he's won 34 in the last two years. He needs to win 19 a year (just like 2023) to pass Schumacher by the end of 2025. Is it possible?

I've also begrudgingly accepted that Verstappens a very, very good driver, though until he does what Vettel dared to do & leaves the safe & comfy environs of RB & gets out there to challenge himself, i'll never rate him up there with the Sennas, Prosts, Schumachers & Hamiltons of this world.

Bottas is on a reported $10M salary at Alfa Romeo. I find the claims that he is not motived quite incredulous to be honest. Why even bother giving him a contract in the first place if he can't be a**ed to give everything every single session and race? It's a matter of personal opinion of course, bu...

At this stage there’s little left to learn about Bottas. He’s gone up against both Hamilton and Massa in his career (two very well established benchmarks, we know exactly how good both are) and we know how he fared against both. At this point in his career, Bottas won’t do anything positive or nega...

I’m wondering why everyone seems to think it was harsh for Perez to get the penalty, it was a slam dunk for me. Looking at his onboard he’s turning in, sees Norris on the outside and clumsily tries to adjust to force him wide. In doing so he loses control and hits Norris, simply a driver out drivin...

Hamilton has said he likes it when there’s not many practice sessions during the weekend (like this weekend and sprint weekend). He never actually seems to do very well when there’s a lack of practice. I think he definitely needs all three practice sessions to maximise the pace of the car in qualif...

Ironic thing was Leclerc had to think of a strategy to help Ferrari get P2 in the WCC instead of the pit wall. Had he seen this masterclass from '21, he could've done something more or better. The idea to let Checo pass imo came a bit too late. I think 1 more lap would've gotten Checo third & Lecle...

Superb driver from Leclerc today, loved it. Good to be reminded of the potential that is there, I was really hoping he would be in the mix this year but the TV caption "5 podiums this year" was a stark reminder of just how little as a team they have under achieved. Personally I think they have unde...

I tried to keep my comments unbiased and still the pantomime stuff crops up. This place is truly as bad as the BBC comments section.

Hope this event is a total embarrassment. I've never wanted something to fail so badly before. Why? Because it's a cat walk not a race.

I have the same problem with past years as well. It's like I'm stuck in an impossibly fleeting moment in time. Time loop? Maybe your flux capacitor is broken...

In case any one's interested to see a lap around the Las Vegas track. The humongous straight will see insane top speeds. 1720552925905232116 Does the first corner after the long straight look like a risky spot to anyone else? Thinking of the wall on the right side when two drivers are side by side.
