I generally don't have much time left now that we have to work from home, it is so weird! On a slightly different note, how many of you working from home during all of this are finding that actually, you're working far more hours than you normally would in the office? I'm definitely doing that. And...

I'm another one that would put Mansell right up there with the best of the overtakers. I started watching F1 in 1985 and was stood in the crowd at Stowe when our Nige overtook Piquet in 1987. It's a moment I will never forget. He's another driver that could usually adapt his driving style to suit th...

Sir Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer has said in one of the press conferences that people in the high-risk category (ie over 70 and under 70 with underlying health conditions) are at a higher risk of suffering from a more serious infection of COVID-19, but that doesn't mean they will and some of ...

Apologies if I said/typed something I shouldn't have - but in my defence I guess whilst taking advantage of a free trial for this reason may not really be within the spirit of the law, it's not technically illegal ;) (sounds a bit F1 that doesn't it :lol: ) a Moot point anyway if indeed the free tri...

I think they offer a month's free trial, for you to trial their services. Would be more than enough time to watch both seasons and then cancel........

I really enjoy it, I just wish they made more episodes :lol: My wife will sit and watch a Grand Prix if she has nothing else to do, but will only be watching in the background so to speak, playing on her phone throughout - but she is glued to Drive To Survive.

The testing costs could be cut down if similar to Abu Dhabi in-season testing the extra testing days are just an additional day during the GP weekend - either a Thursday (before) or Monday (after) for example. I think the Thursday before would be interesting because the smaller teams would be much ...

What's funny is that the FIA closed this loophole in the 2021 regulations five months ago. The 2021 regulations have been amended to make this illegal, which has the effect of saying it's legal for 2020. There is a whole discussion on Reddit about it but I'm on my phone so can't relay the specifics...

It's got nothing to do with the WCC. If you support a driver, you should be passionate about them squeezing an extra point by going from 11th to 10th, ever if they regularly win. It's about watching the one you support do the best they can in a given situation. Assuming lower down places are of no ...

I must admit, I don't find either Mercedes OR Hamilton's continued success frustrating (even with me being a Williams supporter from way back in the 1980s). I've never had a problem with the same team/driver winning AS LONG AS THE RACING IS GOOD!! If you're too good for everyone else, then they need...

Voted Hamilton driving for another team. Not because I hate Mercedes, or because I'm a Hamilton fan - I'm neither..... I voted because of the achievement it would be for Hamilton to win WDCs in three different teams. To be honest I'd prefer any driver in a Williams, but we all know that's unlikely i...

15th place. I'm happy with that given how dreadful I was doing until the last few races. (I'm guessing that's me and STEVE1 is just a typo? ;) ) Last year in my first year I think I was 20th, so it's an improvement :) Of course it's all skill and no luck involved whatsoever :lol: Thanks pokerman and...

Does anyone else find that despite paying for Sky, they never end up watching anything but qualifying and the races? While also skipping out the coverage before both too...

This is even worse than Bernie's sprinkler idea (and I thought that was stupid......). At least the sprinklers would give all drivers the opportunity to use a certain amount of their talent to control their car through the slippery part of the track. All this safety car idea does is penalise the dri...

Renault F1 are apparently investing big in 2021, to the detriment of their 2020 car. If next year is a stinker, then Renault could pull the plug on the operation, selling it to Pat Fry for a $1 and Ricciardo wins the championship in a FryF1 car, narrowly beating Max Verstappen who goes on to win 4 ...

I'm British, but not a Lewis fan (even though I support all the British drivers to a point).

I watch the Sky coverage, but only because I got the £10 a month Sky F1 deal and the rest of my Sky is included in my internet package for 18 months free of charge - so it's cheaper than just the basic Sky package at the moment whilst I'm getting "free" Sky with my broadband. When I have to pay for ...

I may have imagined it, but I'm sure I heard James Allison on the radio to Bottas after telling him to slow down that he'd make it up to him? I can't find any link to this to prove it unfortunately.

But maybe this is why Bottas was "ok" with it, or appeared to be?

I think we could actually race to time rather than laps. It would add an extra dimension to strategy. I'm not saying it should necessarily be 2 hours but a timed race rather than a known number of laps could throw up variables. This I actually quite like. I agree it could throw all sorts of variabl...
