French GP update: STROLL / VETTEL Projected: 0.262% - 0.316% (Vettel) Current Result: 0.134% (Stroll) VET 0.638% (Portugal) VET 0.406% (Monaco) STR 0.134% (Spain) STR 0.339% (Imola) STR 0.863% (Bahrain) Speaking of unfair results, Vettel and Stroll haven't changed at all: two consecutive N/A result...

Hypothetically, if Mercedes invented a teleporter that teleported 200kg of ballast onto their car when it entered the pitlane and 200kg off of the car when it left the pitlane - and there was no way to test the car for if it had had ballast teleported on and off - would this make the minimum weight...

This was sorted out a decade ago.

Stop being biased.

How am I being biased..?

Apparently disagreeing with him means you're biased.

Waiting for people to come on here with hypotheticals in terms of how he is correct if the earth were flat

What a great lap by Verstappen! Very even between the teams, so pretty reflective of the driver speeds the times of the top 4 - Verstappen ahead of Hamilton by a couple of tenths, followed by Bottas and Perez.

If the regulation/law cannot be tested for, then it quite simply a terrible regulation, and might as well not exist. Is that not the whole point of the new dots on the rear wings? To test the deflection in the real world rather than in isolation? Clearly it can be tested for, it just hadn't been in...

Surprised by how quick the Alpine's look (relatively speaking) - hopefully they can also be in the mix for the best of the rest fight.

The fact that Leclerc is leading the votes over Hamilton on so many of these categories is preposterous to the point it speaks of fanboyism. As opposed to your post, which is full of objective facts and analysis? In no way is he superior to Hamilton and the closest thing to him currently is Verstap...

A.J.

Raikkonen - I think he has definitely fallen away the last 2 seasons, especially this one at age 41. He turns 42 this year, Schumacher retired at 41 for reference. Arguably was never the same driver after leaving Mclaren. Schumacher - to me, he never appeared to decline in his Ferrari career. Altho...

One Lap: Leclerc Qualifying: Leclerc One Stint: Verstappen Race Distance: Verstappen Tough I'm torn 50/50 with race distance for Verstappen and Hamilton, and very closely over one stint. Very similar for me: One Lap: Verstappen (with honorable mention to Leclerc) Qualifying: Leclerc (Verstappen los...

A.J.

It's clear that this year's McLaren is a weird car to drive and I expect Verstappen would take some time to adjust and would also lose to Norris on merit. I wouldn't bet my house on it - I expect Verstappen to dispatch Norris with the same ease that Leclerc is dispatching Sainz with, which is proba...

The purpose of the brake magic is for fast warming of the brakes during safety car restarts or at race starts but that's totally irrelevant. This incident only happened due to Hamilton's hand positions during a standing start, combined with the sudden change of direction at the moment he had to mov...

A.J.

Do they? I hadn't heard that, where did you get it from? From what I've read it's only really suited to the formation lap, due presumably to the stationary time while the field catches up. I heard it on one of the non-English race post race analysis. The F1 site itself also mentions this: https://w...

A.J.

What kind of logic are you using that leads you to believe the possibility existed in which under normal driving conditions brake magic issue could have occured. I think its very obvious it was lewis starting procedure and fluke timing of the correction required for perez coming across It wouldnt h...

Dropping and losing 4-6 places it happened to Hamilton twice (Japan and Italy) and Rosberg once (Germany). That's false - Rosberg lost 3 places at the start in Germany, not 4 - the Ferrari got close because of Rosberg going on the grass trying to overtake one of the Redbulls on the run to the hairp...

How is Marquez's return going? Looks bad purely by results. Last three races DNFs.

He's shown some serious glimpses of pace - until he's crashed. The Honda seems to be a handful to ride fast, but we have all seen that over the last few years.

A.J.

Yes, I should have just said. 2016 was not the one time Hamiltons team mate put him under pressure, what about 2007 and 2014? But I admit I am incorrect, although Mercedes said the car had a clutch issue, neither driver made as many bad starts as I thought. Just Monza really for Hamilton and German...

A.J.

I would recommend you re-watch the season if you take home from it is Hamilton lost the championship because he made worst starts than Rosberg. I notice no mention of net points from these starts. Hamilton lost a very small amount of net points from poor starts when compared to Hamilton. Where as h...

Pesky Schumacher (who has nothing to do with this topic btw) breaking off his front wing and then winning races - what can I say. Or that it didn't happen, but cool story bro. Yeah, I have to agree here, no idea what Johnson is comparing here. Schumacher overcooked a corner that ultimately cost him...

A.J.

They both made 4 each. That one belongs with Nico’s engineering degree Please enlighten us with the knowledge of which 4 starts Rosberg messed up losing 5-odd places the way Hamilton did. I'm genuinely curious to see if you actually believe that or are telling porkies. Dropping and losing 4-6 place...

I’m sorry but this level of racecraft is truly shocking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2luDigRtXU There is something fundamentally wrong with the way this guy positions his car during wheel-to-wheel combat. This is not something new. In fact, we have been talking about this flaw for years. Howeve...

A.J.

It has to be Ricciardo, given the reputation he has built over the years he should not be getting beaten so handily by Norris. Tsunoda has been a massive disappointment to me as well. While Ross Brawn took the hype a little too far with his pre-season comments, I did have big expectations for him a...

A.J.

Since there are about 2-3 comments saying the same thing (Tufty/Johnson/ATH) - I did not make the original comment; I'm only trying to rationalize how mikey may have come up with the number. As for the incidents themselves - wasn't Hamilton a lap down in Imola (genuinely asking, can't remember) pri...

A.J.

I simply said I expect more mistakes from Hamilton if the cars are roughly equal and he gets pushed. I know you've admitted this is conjecture but since 2014, Hamilton has performed very well in crunch situations. 2016: Would have won the last five races without his infamous engine failure 2017: Ex...

So it was nothing but hot air then? So much drama over nothing at all, it seems.

I'm curious if there is much Hamilton can do in his own power to reclaim 'driver of the season' accolade. Verstappen has clearly been the better driver of the two after 6 rounds. Would it take Hamilton beating Verstappen in a car that seems marginally inferior? Or does Verstappen have to lose his c...

Oh and if Pirelli were at Indy 2005 instead of Michelin I'm sure they would have found a way to blame debris when it is clear to everyone there is a problem with their tyre construction. It's different constructed tyres. The tyres produced in 2005 were different to the construction of the tyres in ...

Has to be between Ricciardo and Alonso - I went with Ricciardo as pretty much everyone expected him to be on top of Norris straight away. Same with Alonso, but at least he has a few excuses with the time away from F1 and the accident prior to the start of the season - plus generally he's looked quit...
