Re: Reject of the Race - Hungary
1. Valtteri Bottas - complete schoolboy error; the kind you'd put money on your common garden variety of Tsunoda or Mazepin to make. Not only did he singlehandedly wipe out the entire opposition, he also destroyed the most exciting spectacle of the race by removing any hope of a fair fight at the f...

Re: Reject of the Race - Azerbaijan
2. Shared between Michael Masi and Pirelli - Those incidents clearly needed an instant safety car, it should have been a no-brainer, why the delay? Two almost identical tyre failures, causing pretty much the most dangerous kind of accidents. Fortunately everyone walked away and they didn't become mu...

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Azerbaijan
2. Perez - Yeah he's in a Red Bull, but he drove a pretty faultless race, considering the great start, the slow pitstop that might have stopped him jumping Max, the hydraulics issue on the car, soaking up the endless pressure from Lewis and also the fact I would have put money on him binning the res...

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Monaco 2021
2. Sergio Pérez - 4th from 9th is pretty much pulling a rabbit out of a hat at Monaco even with the Red Bull's pace advantage. He was fastest car on track for many laps before the pit stops and had really good race pace. 1. Sebastian Vettel - Solid pace, aggressive move against Gasly. Who would have...

2. Valtteri Bottas - In his mind he probably thought his actions made him look like a racy, edgy hard-ass who never gives in. In reality, it was pure stupidity and he had nothing at all to gain from impeding Lewis. In other circumstances, if Valtteri had an outside chance to fight to win, then fair...

2. Aston Martin - Came away with a big fat zero points and both cars finished behind Giovinazzi
1. Kimi - Flying in the face of golden rules number one and two simultaneously; DO look where the flip you're going, and DON'T crash into your teammate.

Incredibly sad to hear this. Murray was the voice of F1 to me while growing up.

His way with words, colourful metaphors, and unique delivery also richened my vocabular...

Re: Livery vs. Chassis
I loved the purple Simtek, actually along with most cars from that era. I even like the pink livery of the 1992 Brabham, the thing I hate about that car is the nose cone, so car shape was the killer for me. What about these badboys: Helmet looks like Dalmas, so Estoril? https://encrypted-tbn0.gstati...

Hope this one hasn't been done yet. What if Mika Salo had gone to Ferrari for 1996 instead of Irvine?
I was reading an old F1 Racing mag the other day and Salo claims Ferrari wanted him alongside Schumacher, but Ken Tyrrell wouldn't release him. Imagine the potential Mika vs Mika battles!
