Aaaaaand in some incredibly meh news, Stephen Jelley is taking up the third WSR seat this season.

Most interesting thing about this news is that he's bringing his engineer, Andy Miller (formerly of Stewart F1 and Paul Stewart Racing), with him. Other than that, it's all a bit underwhelming.

McLaren will go for high R&D.

Ahhhhh, upgrade time it is.

Afternoon ladies and gents, I'm just dropping this here to try and gauge reaction to an idea I've floated already in the Discord. Over the last few months, during lulls in work, I've essentially built a wee model on Excel for simming races, lap by lap. Yes, 2013 Takagi with his reams of A4 with vari...

Seeing as RoGro will be in IndyCars this year, I’m now a fully paid up IndyFan! Haven’t the first clue about the series but sure it’ll be fun watching RoGro sweep to the title.

The only positive to take away from the announcement is that he’s basically funding the jobs of however many people for the next 8 months or so.

Let's explore something else: as of this point, I believe Hamilton has still not signed a deal for 2021 onwards with Mercedes. You can argue what the sticking points are, whether money, or the potential future of Russell within the team, or something else. Still, they'd have to ink out a deal fairl...

But why? Have they shown progress with Toro Rosso enough to justify an entire plan built around Honda? To me this looks like Red Bull are half-digging their own grave.
