Surely it would be part of the FIA's regulations that in order to permit the running of the event,a driver could not be refused access to participate in an event purely on grounds of nationality(apart from where sanctions had been imposed by the FIA). I was pondering the same thing for Robert Shwarz...

Did Haas specifically say that he would not be able to race because of his nationality? The Russian invasion took place in February 2022 and I'm certain he was replaced before then.I would have thought it would've been fairly straightforward for Haas to assert that his services were not being kept f...

Just to ponder... if George hadn't won Brazil last year, Red Bull would have had 22 consecutive wins... Don't tempt fate. I would say "that's the last thing we need", but if Red Bull gets a clean sweep of wins that even the McLaren MP4/4 couldn't manage (merci, Jean-Louis), that might sna...

So if Checo doesn't come up to expectations(or retires,since he's been in F1 12 years) and Danny Ric takes his place at Red Bull, then who would be up for the Alpha Tauri seat?

I'd have to make an exception for Billy Monger.After C4 did the obligatory 'after-an-accident-interview' with Robert Kubica when he first joined, he's settled in nicely-commentary has been clear and concise and his points have been worthwhile contributions,not subject to wild hype-and having raced w...

I'm willing to bet that the plot of Mr.Pitt's new F1 movie will not feature him racing to victory only to have the win taken away from him five hours after the race because of a penalty for a minor technical infringement by the stewards-but wouldn't it be pleasing it if did so the moviegoers can ind...

Easy one for me: Stewards - There was plenty of time to investigate Perez's infringement. Why wait until after the race, potentially overshadowing one of Sergio's greatest F1 drives? *puts on cynical hat* Perhaps it was to wait and see how far ahead he would finish to see what effect a 5-second pen...

What about if they followed the procedure in lower formulae that when the safety car comes out, the laps are neutralized-that way if there were 5 laps to go when it came out, then there would still be 5 laps left and we wouldn't have arguments about whether to finish under a safety car or go for a o...

Here's a suggestion- there is a TBC in the calendar slot kicking around in November sometime.
Why not
a) Eliminate this weekend completely and reallocate Spa that TBC spot
b) Tickets from this weekend automatically gain admission to that new weekend?

With the current trend of having two races back to back at a single circuit, would the logistics work so that one of the races could be run anti-clockwise? Somewhere like Austria with few corners would be easy in turns of the run off areas,barriers,pit lane exit/entry surely? It'd give more of a sen...

Out of pure speculation... Norris got the gap down to 4.802 seconds with fastest lap to take the podium-what if he hadn't quite managed to go so fast and ended up crossing the line 5.000 seconds behind Hamilton-what would happen then?
