Bottas , obviously. Latifi took himself out with a careless rejoin. Alpha Tauri for screwing Gasly with the wrong tire choice. Mick weaving himself to a crash was fairly poor. But, I have to look very strongly at: Alpine . Anon all weekend. Ocon got a point, yes, but only because Bottas & Russe...

as for other great drivers Hill- Australia 1997 (it was his own fault for choosing Arrows over Jordon but still... that must count as one of his worst weekend as his hopes and dreams of 1997 shattered into a millon pieces ). Plenty of candidates for Hill's worst weekend in 1999. I'd go France. The ...

Nothing new from me really.

Track limits shouldn't decide a race and Nikita MazesBinalla lived up to his reputation.

Alpine were poor and deserve a HM.

I just realised that I forgot Ferrari exist in my predictions...

Well CBA going back and revising them, let's hope they have a bad weekend.

Of course you could've won, Ralf.

We believe you.

Enforcer

Wow, I never realised how little of old Kyalami is in the current circuit.

Enforcer

It's a game of brinksmanship between Merc and Hamilton I suspect. Mercedes would've won both championships last year with any 2 of at least half the drivers on grid in their car. But if Red Bull, or God forbid, Ferrari close the gap over the next two seasons then suddenly they do need Hamilton to wi...

Damn, I missed this.

Will there be a season 3?

Rumour that Renault will announce their new driver (Alonso) on Wednesday. Sources in Spain say it's a driver (Alonso) who has already raced for the team and is therefore widely assumed to be Kevin Magnussen (actually Alonso). Okay, it could be Magnussen, Grosjean or Hulkenberg, technically it could ...

Enforcer

Trying to leave my anti-Hamilton bias aside: In practical terms, it seems to be generally accepted that the leading driver can squeeze out the overtaking driver on the outside exiting a corner as long as the overtaking car hasn't got his nose in front. Hamilton would've probably had to commit at cor...

Enforcer

(We still doing this by thread poll rather than 1 & 2?) Anyhow, the only option not covered already is Leclerc . I know he had a bit of luck with Hamilton's penalty and both Red Bulls DNFing, but it was still a hell of a performance to haul that crate onto the podium. For most of the race he was...

Enforcer

If it transpires that the collision is what KO'd Albon's car, I'm going with Hamilton because Albon would've probably won. Also I don't like Hamilton much. Other than that... choices choices. Vettel for once again ejecting his brain mid race with a stupid attempt to dive Carlos Sainz. He likely woul...

He pulled that one out in a big way. Class.

Enforcer

Hamilton pushes into Albon, even though Albon's basically all the way outside. Nice job there. Best driver ever and all that tho'. Leclerc is close to pulling a podium out of this race despite being in a total shitbox. That's not F1 driving, that's witchcraft. EDIT: Ha! 5 second penalty Lewis. EDIT ...

Enforcer

inb4 the FIA insist on code being put into the ECUs that cause 2-3 randomly selected engines to shut down per race because unreliability is exciting.

Enforcer

Maybe Merc will break their gearboxes...

EDIT: Russel out. Pity, he had driven really well this weekend, imo.

SC. Now that's interesting, if Merc have to save their gearboxes, but Albon (on softs) and Perez are right on them...

EDIT II: Kimi's wheel fell off.

Enforcer

Verstappen's car has just expired. Oh well.

EDIT: Stroll struggling and Ricciardo stuck in gear. We're a few retirements away from 1990s era reliability.

Enforcer

It'll probably be a very good race from 3rd down. Disrupting the Merc 1-2 will entirely depend on if Max can make the most of starting on medium tires.

Enforcer

He'll be 2nd by lap 10, and only that many cos it's a short lap.

Am I the only one finding the number of ex-driver's children, grandchildren, nephews etc. knocking around in lower series a little freaky? yannicksamlad already mentioned Piquet, Deletraz, Alesi and Mick Schumacher, but there's also Roy Nissany, plus another few in F3: Enzo Fittipaldi, David Schumac...

Enforcer

Qualifying under way.

Will Max pull something out or will it be a straightforward Mercedes benefit event?

Further down the order, Russel seems to have the potential to outqualify Haas or Alfa Romeo. Hope to see Williams off the back of the grid.

EDIT: I think Albon's about to become a Q1 casualty.

Enforcer

Yeah, it doesn't look good at the moment. I think he's probably gone the way of Schumacher. :/

After pulling through so much too.

Long post here. As possibly the bloke who does the most sim-racing here, (somewhat appropriately for this website I'm not any good though), here are my random thoughts on the whole thing. 1) I honestly didn't watch most of them. I only watched Virtual GPs from Jimmy Broadbent's channel cos F1 2019 i...

Enforcer

1) Who were those two eejits walking across the main straight at the end when there were still cars on track? 2) So I never saw that race as it happened because of family commitments, and have now determined the Ralf being faster than Damon thing in that race has been overstated a little. Yes, Ralf ...

I suppose he's taken the piss out of what is essentially a charity event, and Audi and other sponsors must feel that's sufficiently damaging to their brand image to justify this penalty. It seems excessive to me, cos let's face it, no one outside motorsport nerds and sim racing nerds are going to re...

Enforcer

Well, this escalated quickly.

Audi have suspended him.

Enforcer

I doubt it's happened in any top level motorsport this side of 1970, but it's probably happened somewhere, either a long time ago or at a regional level. Or both. Also, I just remembered that Lando Norris was kicked out of a private league in iRacing for mysteriously being able to race in the league...

Daniel Abt hit with a €10k fine for trying to cheat at the Formula E 'Race at Home Challenge' by getting an eSports driver to drive instead of him:

That's a big fine for what he did.

I got Yas Marina right. I should've thought of Zeltweg and AVUS, but I was being too 'recent' in my thought process. I get the Spa pick. It's best known for being lethally dangerous in the cars in that drove it and loads of people got killed. Not really a reason for a track to be good. And here's th...

Enforcer

Yas Marina and Marina Bay could possibly feature. Strip away the "OMG! It's under the lights!" aspect and you've got two tracks where you don't really get great racing. Yas Marina is so bad that Alonso lost the WDC because he couldn't overtake a midfield runner on it, and Lewis was able to...

Only going to pick ones that I actually witnessed. Plenty of interesting looking season in the 80s, for example, but I didn't see them. 6 Best: 1997 - Interesting battle for the WDC, McLaren starting to come back to the front, Benetton regularly on the podium, plus the occasional appearance from Jor...

He didn't help himself, especially in 2018, but that's consecutive multiple WDCs at Ferrari who weren't able to do the business with them and left under a bit of a cloud. Would be fun if they could somehow get Hamilton and see could they do the same to him. Y'know, just to complete that generation's...

My copy of 1994 arrived today. Looking forward to reading it.

Poor oul' Damon's not having a good time. And I thought his RL 1995 was bad enough.

As much as I'd have loved and would still retroactively love it now, Frentzen was so off the pace at the following race in Malaysia (Hill, who'd well and truly packed it in by then, outqualified him) that it's hard to put it all down to his head space after missing out on the win at the Nurburgring....
