Argh. Who uses psi as a unit for pressure? A handful of countries at most (mainly USA)? Then again the race distance and circuit length is shown in km.

Covalent

Yeah if they felt they didn't punish him severely enough to begin with that's on them, and should just let the matter drop. Hamilton's status should bear no relevance on the severity of the punishment.

Covalent

Piastri had such a great weekend overall (easy to forget he's a rookie) that I voted for him, even if Norris might have had a slight edge in speed.

Playing Devil's advocate on the Ham/Rus clash, was Lewis obliged to give room to Russell when George moved to the left while trying to overtake Max? He definitely didn't have to turn right when another car occupied that space... No I naturally agree on that part. Was just thinking that had Lewis st...

I don't know, I found this one of the more interesting races of the season.

Hamilton’s sprint qualifying record this year is rubbish.

Yeah what's up with that? Much slower than Russell even in laps ending up being deleted.

I think it is time to move on past discussing Alain Prost in this thread about 3-time WDCs. Save it for next year, when we will likely be comparing him to Vettel and Verstappen in a similar thread. At least Prost belongs to the same sport, have a look in the thread about Hamilton's and Verstappen's...

With the WCC done, could RB try Lawson in the other car before the end of the season?

I understand you always get one or two trolling votes, but 6 for russell is ridiculous. Regardless of what he did earlier (which would have been enough for me to vote him over hamilton in TMW) , in the end, he very clumsily crashed out and that should surely mean he can't be DOTD any more? He was t...

Drivers pushing for a 4th DRS zone. It really says a lot about the state of the sport when the fans want to get rid of DRS and the drivers want extra DRS zones, as otherwise it would be hard to overtake. Wasn't overtaking supposed to be hard? Some of the drivers seem to have lost their way a bit on...

Hamilton has his say on the Marko comments for Checo:

What was the racist comment?

Covalent

If a drive-through is seen as too harsh (when have we last seen one of those??), would something like a 10s period of VSC speed be a alternative (if somehow implemented safely)?

Covalent

This is getting ridiculous. It still says "Fillipe" in the title.

Covalent

Not sure if any one us are qualified to speculate how long recovery is needed based on a picture of a scar.

Covalent

In the start, the RB19 was a neutral car which let Checo drive at his optimum & kind of match Verstappen. Once the upgrades came, he lost confidence in the car & his pace dropped. Good thing is his race pace difference is getting lesser again to Verstappen's which is necessary for holding onto P2 i...

Covalent

We can single out what we want, Verstappen got gifted a win in Barcelona when Ricciardo was running in front of him. Not the point. I wouldn't count incomplete seasons at all. 16 races to compete is more than enough. Perhaps quit looking for excuses for Verstappen? Verstappen doesn't need any excus...

Just because composites tend to have a certain amount of flexure DOES NOT mean you cannot build it in a way that makes an absolutely rigid component. Geometric shapes can dramatically affect the physical capabilities of materials. F1 car floors for example are made ultra thin but have relatively li...

FormulaFun was apparently watching the 2021 race by mistake. Or then it just holds a very special place in his heart.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oMLJPUKQwM I was wondering what happened between sargeant and Bottas. They didn't show it live and I don't think they showed a replay at any point in the race either. That was a fair old wollop. Quite surprised Bottas didn't get damage. Thanks for this, was wonderin...

True, nothing is ever guaranteed. What available driver is an upgrade? And no, they aren't going to sign Hamilton and buyout Checo's contract (unless Hamilton wants to drive for free). Buyout Checo and convince Albon to come back? I don't see them buying out Checo and buying Norris out of his contr...

This topic (not illegal if you are passing the tests that the FIA put in place) was discussed in length (ad nauseum?) over the summer break. He's saying if parts of a car pass all the FIA scrutineering tests then they are legal. There's no such thing as 100% rigid, therefore the only thing we have ...

Well, I think it is safe to say that only few drivers on the grid would have performed worse than Perez in the Red Bull this summer. I also think it is safe to say that Red Bull, given their dominance, can likely get virtually every driver on the grid if they want (with very few exceptions). The on...

Echoing the thoughts about Mercedes and Alpha Tauri being difficult to vote for so I didn't give them a vote.

Covalent

Imagine the uproar by some if Mercedes was the one who got it wrong by pitting for wets and it was indeed just a short shower benefiting those that stayed on the slicks.

Too bad that all this was undone by poor strategy.

Here is how I voted in the poll: 1 Verstappen 2 Norris 3 Alonso 4 Hamilton 5 Piastri 6 Leclerc 7 Sainz 8 Russell 9 Ocon 10 Bottas 11 Albon 12 Hulkenberg 13 Perez 14 Gasly 15 Magnussen 16 Zhou 17 Tsunoda 18 Stroll 19 Ricciardo 20 de Vries 21 Sargeant It's been a while since I voted but it seems the b...

We could have a sister thread where you just publish your votes and someone keeps a track of the results. Would be interesting to see the difference but I'm guessing the participation would be quite low.

How do you feel about the Red Bull penalty?

Budget Cap Breach Rumours

Covalent

Many good drives but chose Verstappen, Leclerc and Tsunoda.

Covalent

I disagree. Piastri is on the inside because that's where he started. He didn't go for a gap. He was never not in the gap. Sainz locked up trying to dive down the inside of Hamilton and then cut in hard allowing Piastri no space. The accident, if caused by anybody, was caused by Sainz. Going into t...

Covalent

Loved the new tyre format in quali, was it a one-off or permanent change?

Covalent

Interesting that Sainz has more votes than Leclerc despite being behind in the teammate wars vote.
