STR race pace has been very good so far, going to bag 4th. Can't argue with that, they spanked Macca here. Gasly driver of the day if he bags P4 He's had a fairly quiet race really, just driving round by himself! Got given 2 places from Ricciado and Kimi's retirements. He's done a good job, but Vet...

WHY IS KIMI QUITTING? Can he not continue? Can henot get pushed back? I do hope the mechanic is alright. Mixed tyres, unsafe release, mechanics not rushing to pull him back. Take your pick really Man down on pit box. Race not that important now The mechanic will probably be the first to tell people...

He is faster lap by lap than everyone behind him!!!!

TR has a history of delivering competitive chassis

Maybe Honda has turned the corner!

McLaren a bit exposed today!

In my opinion the key here is BOT and Mercedes, they can set things off, not RIC. I dont think Ferrari will change much and I doubt that option will be open to RIC, Ferrari might hold station for another season and see how Leclerc develops, plus I dont know if RIC will want to enter a team that has ...

re tyres i say **** the casual viewer. if you cant be arsed to work out what the tyres are that weekend and which is softer then you probably arent really bothered with f1 anyway, and so it wont matter. although you will probably annoy real f1 fans with your inane questions like someone who only wa...

Translated "Newey was known as the guru of aerodynamics within Formula 1. The 59-year-old Briton, however, also left his expertise outside of the world class of motorsport, for example in the development of the Aston Martin Valkyrie. In recent years, however, the head designer has built a team of te...

Guess this is also what testing is for lol McLaren pit stop practice 8O i1hzb2IFWSs What was going on there? Reality. That's what was going on there.

Impressed by the fitness these guys have, as per Hamilton tweet, they are pulling 6G's braking and cornering in Spain, and Vettel is just hammering laps out 3 days in a row! After 60 lap day in Karting I needed a Doctor!!

MDS It seems you are a fan of MCL, some of us are and want them to do good, but even tho they had limited time due to weather and yes this is just testing, the way they handled their bussines with Honda created the expectation of them NOT being in this situation again. This does not look good no ma...

Another red flag.... No prizes for who caused this one. Vandoorne, turn 3 e 2013 Is there a possibility that 1 or 2 parts under the cover are still from Honda which they forgot to replace with the Renault's? Lol No but seriously. Does mclaren remember how to build a competitive car anymore? You can...

I'm having doubts, for the first time , at the competency of McLaren. Honda suddenly doing 70, 80+ laps a day, and McLaren not even touching 40 today, when there was no freak wheel nut failure...

Lets be bold here: WDC L.Hamilton K.Raikkonen Max V. Seb Vettel V. Bottas D. Ricciardo I know the thread title was 'baseless' but no force on Heaven or Earth will get Kimi above Seb in the WDC.

Have to agree, I live in Florida, and getting up early is part of the ritual of seeing the races, it also leaves the rest of the day open for other activities. The problem I saw was the adds, they showed mote add than the race itself, so I watched it on Mexican TV as they showed no adds during the r...

So in conclusion, no it will not make sense to slow RPM down just to prevent frictional loses. You will get to the law of diminishing returns eventually but I think even a 18,000 RPM engine is still far from it. One extreme case is a Top Fuel Dragster, it takes about 300-400hp just to turn the Supe...

The end of your 2nd sentence is the nail on the head, it's more efficient to do it that way hence the lower revs. I guess what they are really proposing is moving that efficiency vs performance curve up the scale to the point where you get the best bang for your buck(revs). Currently the rules say ...

Vettel and Verstappen destroyed their team-mates. The cars looked very balanced around the track. Mercedes showed excellent pace during long runs in practice so I think we'll have a three-way battle for the win. Kimi is such a non factor. Ferrari doesn't think so. Herb just has a misguided love for...

MAX should be on the clear, Bottas messed up all alone there.

Did anyone else completed a pass outside the track limits and didn't get penalised at this race? I'll answer it for you, no. I saw Sebastian overtake someone and go all 4 wheels off the track at the exit. Now, if there was a concrete wall there, he wouldn't have run off. Would he then have been abl...

While we are at it, lets also introduce the Polka dot Halo for the driver with more overtakes as the season progresses.
