Just because he wasn't penalised doesn't mean anything. Maybe because Charlie Whiting wasn't there and they aren't so on the ball. Maybe what happened with Verstappen changed there application of the rules. He dropped 7 seconds to Hamilton who we know was not speeding and likely driving the delta. ...

Here's another radical idea.... Get rid of blue flags!

It'll make the fight for the lead a little more interesting and with DRS, if someone can't lap a car, there really is something wrong.

Regarding the main discussion of the thread, it all depends what people want. If you just want more overtaking, more wheel to wheel racing and the field being more evenly matched, the only way to change this is to fully restrict the entire series into a spec series. As soon as you give teams any cre...

The problem with some posters is that they blame Pirelli for bad tyres and a monopoly on the tyres, when they seem oblivious to the fact that FOM only wanted 1 tyre manufacturer, wanted tyres that specifically don't last and that no other tyre manufacturer wanted the contract under the specificatio...

Getting PIRELLI out of F1 will be a start! No need to get them out, just let anyone provide tires Nah they need to go, I dont want to see a repeat of '05 where certain cars work on certain tracks. The problem with pirelli is that everyone is stuck with them due to their monopoly, and the solution w...

Just finished watching the replay. I thought they were using the full GP layout this year, so a little disappointed to see the short track, but great race.

Gutted for Bird, he drove such a great race making up all those places on track.

I can't answer you question, but would just like to say that I'd love to hear Lewis say 'Ferrari have the advantage' in Spain so we can all look forward to seeing Lewis beaten by an intergalactic bounty hunter with a piece of paper

Lewis said in a post race interview that he lost the race because he was too nice in turn one. He was pushing a fellow driver half cars width out of actual racing track and calls it "too nice". What is next? https://i.ibb.co/HBw8LBh/01212.jpg That shows him leaving Bottas racing room, strange view ...

We'll that was a chaotic race! We'll worth a watch for anyone who missed it.

Nissan really are struggling this season.

After a few US posters mentioned the sky bias, I did notice at 1 point in China a distinct difference between the C4 and Sky commentary teams - the Mercedes double stop. After Bottas came on the radio saying 'don't cost me time' the C4 team both commented that he had to slow before entering the box ...

I wouldn't be against another race in China, it is after all a big country, but I'd personally prefer to see a race in Africa so all the continents (excluding Antarctica!) are represented. We only have 1 south American race and 4 in the American time zones, so I wouldn't be against another south Ame...

Don't know what happened behind the first 2, but great racing by both of them. A bit gutted for Lotterer, but well deserved win for Evans and Jaguar.

LMAO!

Only been 2 weeks and found this thread halfway down page 2! Guess it's good to see the forum getting a bit more traffic through it and activity again though. Anyway, just thought I'd bump this thread as it's Rome this Saturday. Race start time 16:00 local time (15:00 BST). I'm sure thegamer23 will ...

F1 2019 will be out early this year. It releases on June 28! There also seem to be a lot of new features due to the increased cooperation with Liberty Media. Livery customization, driver customization and even Formula 2! Very positive signs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnxrFrBRlDU https://www.y...

I suspect you have chosen to miss the point. The simple matter is that bringing up team orders in qualifying was unnecessary,not relevent, yet still they brought it up...even if to say it couldn't happen. That, was the point I was trying to make. On that note, let's leave it...I sure as heck don't ...

Looking forward to the race tomorrow. Bahrain almost always throws up a good race (forgetting 2010!) and the field is looking good with McLaren performing better and Hulk out of position. Also, it's nothing but my personal dislike of Vettel, but I really want to see Leclerc keep himself ahead tomorr...

Something that struck me while reading the Bahrain quail thread that I've been saying for years and is probably an unpopular opinion.... I really don't like Brundle's commentary! I've always thought that he's still stuck in a past era of F1 and just can't get his head into the modern formula. I hone...

I love FE but the continues penalties for various technical infringements are very grating. They need to simplify some of the rules. The one about using your brakes the same on every lap in qualifying is ridiculous. This latest example where Buemi gets DSQ because he crashed and didn't brake with f...

At least Jev only got a reprimand so the podium is accurate this week!

Really don't like this track, and it's been turning into one of the least entertaining races for me over the past 5 years so far!

Maybe I'm being premature and it'll get better after the red flag, but I don't see it happening.

minchy

I don't really understand what you're saying here? What's money got to do with this particular case? My bad for not being more specific. Some comments prior to mine were of the opinion that sport shouldn't become involved in politics (in general). My comment was more in response to the Bahrain issu...

Just seen on the TV guide for UK viewers - channel 4 have got Billy Monger co-presenting with Steve Jones, DC and Webber this weekend.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he does and finding out if he will be a regular if he does well.

minchy

Just watched the replay on iPlayer, another good close race. Lots of contact and retirements, kind of expected on such a close track, shame about the last lap (saying no more for spoilers sake) but good race overall. And credit to the marshals for getting the cars out of the road so fast to get the ...

I do like how Ferrari haven't taken part in the documentary side of it, but still have plenty of advertising with them using the Ferrari for the title shot each episode

I think his allowance is a bit more than that!

Wow, can't actually believe that the rookies get that little. But the cynic in me just wants to know how much tax they're paying and to which country!!! :p

minchy

Only watched the first 2 episodes so far, but really enjoying it. I like how they've managed to get a different story for each episode which spotlights a different rivalry (and I love that Horner has 2 donkeys called Max and Daniel!).

Seems to be a really well made series.

minchy

Just an observation from all the cars so far, all the front wings are MASSIVE! It's amazing how much bigger they all look, even if they are simpler aero wise.

minchy

Also, gotta say that I love Jack Nicolls commentary - starts laughing when he's reading out Lopez's 3rd penalty

minchy

That was an intense final 2 laps.

minchy

You got a good view there gamer, i went to the London race in season 1 and it was really hard to get a decent view with the number of people there and all the ad boards around he circuit.

minchy

Wow,that was a great race! We'll done Sam, good win.

It's so much easier to watch in the UK now channel 5 has finished it's contract. Live on Facebook and YouTube and it helps that BBC are showing it without an exclusive contract. I've not had any issues with the last 2 races watching any sessions live or an catch up, whereas the last 2 years have bee...

What on earth happened there? Did Frijns hit Bird then reverse into Dillman or did Dillman hit Frijns into Bird?

minchy

Looking forward to the race tomorrow. If memory serves, it was a good race last year and it's surprising fast track for an Fe street circuit.

minchy

Really enjoyed that. The cars looked great on track, they look awesome anyway, but looked faster and more sturdy than the gen1 cars. Close racing all round, I like how they can give each other a love tap and have the cars fall apart! Didn't think I'd like the attack mode, but I actually really did! ...

I voted for Kimi, but I honestly don't know enough about Gionivazzi to male an informed choice. I just think that Kimi, although not at his best, still has the desire to race and is still better than most last years field.
