Pretty radical idea

I change my opinion.

Get rid of the stewarts.

Altair

Will be interesting to read the official ruling. I think we can all agree on that. It won't matter. 95% of F1 fans are incapable of looking at things impartially. Most of the backlash is motivated by the fact that Hamilton and Mercedes have been winning so much and a lot of fans want that to end. I...

Stewards ruined the race for the fans That's the bottom line. Hamilton was getting closer and closer, first time we had a heart stopping race in ages between these two. And then right when it all was going to come to a head, they put the brakes on with a controversial call - you could argue deserve...

Bottom line is had Seb not lost control he wouldn't have got a penalty. Consider If you divebomb down the inside into a corner and understeer into someone you can't use the defence that once you had locked up you couldn't avoid a crash - you get yourself out of control, you pay the consequences. An...

Its a shame, Vettel should have stayed away.

Taken whatever penalty, told everyone where to stick it and let his absence speak volumes.

Altair

Good on Canadian fans cheering vettel, good on the mounties being in the room.

Altair

Good for vettel if he just leaves.

Remove all modernity from F1. Naturally aspirated engines, manual gearboxes, maybe even no power steering, no traction control or ABS, no ERS. Simultaneously, get more investment in Formula E. Bigger budgets to push those electric motors and include all of the assists and fancy technology. Costs in...

https://www.racefans.net/2019/05/29/the-storm-brewing-amid-f1s-2021-rules-wrangle/ Couple of interesting points raised in this article. Buried in it was the fact that the gearbox tender has been cancelled and it looks highly likely that the other standardization tenders will also be withdrawn. Acco...

Didn't vote for Hamilton, despite his magnanimous driving effort, because he was publicly scolding the team and holding a speech to them, when nothing really wrong was happening, and team was right that it will go to the end. Spoiled toddler or what. Voted for Kubica for being 15th at one moment . ...

Altair

Goodness, those blue flag rules are stupid... Blue flags on a track were you basically can't pass is stupid, ok. :? That's the thing, you think hamilton wouldn't try a pass on a Williams with vestappen on his gearbox? You think verstapen wouldn't fancy a pass on a hamilton held up by a Williams? Wo...

I'll add this to my radical ideals to improve F1 thread, racing in the pit lane.

I never would have thought of it but bravo stewards

Altair

Not counting retirements, it looks like a safe bet so far.

Who wins formula 1 championship tier? Hamilton or Bottas?

Who wins best of the rest, Ferrari or Red Bull?

Who wins formula 1.5?

Who wins formula 1.9, Kubica or Russell?

Altair

With no sarcasm whatsoever, I actually like this. With Ferrari falling back and red bull(max) doing better, Ferrari and red bull are actually best of the rest. So Mercedes is the championship tier, Ferrari / red bull are best of the rest, teams 4-9 formula 1.5, and Williams formula 2. Focusing on th...

I think there's reason to believe the Mercedes was a handful in Barcelona. Watching the car there, it was twitchy and unsettled even on their quick laps. I haven't seen the same from it in Monaco, however. sometimes that is good, for a car that is so long. They say that they have worked a lot on lo...

Altair

I would like the backmarkers to be able to take a more sensible approach to moving over. I think the lead cars should be bin a position to pass before the back markers have to yield rather than force them to lose seconds each lap coasting to let a car past that was over a second behind. I'd imagine...

Not a young man but still too soon

Reverse order grid... Yes that would work well around Monaco and other tracks were you can't overtake. Wait for 2021 rather than draconian regulations that most people do not want. It would. Mercedes Ferrari and red bull have the best cars? Prove it. Pass Pass it the best of the rest with your supe...

Good luck in answering this question. Even if Ferrari managed to get an advantage in that car.. there is absolutely no guarantee that the drivers will deliver. Ferrari have had several chances to bring more wins and solid points to take two titles but their mistakes, under performing Kimi and even ...

A lot of the grand prix are turning into Monaco for me too. What I mean by this is that the Monaco GP would always be a race that was mostly won on the Saturday, (it's fairly difficult to get past at the start with a short run to the first corner, so pole position was vital, e.g. Trulli in 2004). I...

All that said, the sad fact is now, even if you stuck Alonso in Kubica's seat, they'd still be 18/19/20 just in a different order. So in defense of Kubica he's definitely not Williams biggest probelm right now and if he's as smart and great to work with as most articles suggest I guess it's better ...

Just let them race.

The championships are out of reach, no need to think of the team first anymore.

Kubica make me sad because JV was finally right for once.

Ferrari need to get their heads right, why is Leclerc being held up if they're going to let him pass anyway? Why after they have already decided that they will move the slower driver over earlier in the race is Vettel getting held up by Leclerc before being let past? Absolute mess there at the mome...

I know this thread is tongue in cheek but some of the ideas basically vindicate the FIA's position that the show is more important than the sport and it makes for depressing reading. This is what brought us cheese tyres and DRS, for example. F1 doesn't need gimmicks. It needs a bit more ambition ap...
