Strange to think that when Button first raced in F1, Max Verstappen was probably still in nappies and Max's dad was still racing for Arrows

So, Hamilton is facing another 15 grid penalty for changing again his engine. Mercedes found a breach in the rules to make sure his driver is going to have two fresh engines while taking all penalties in just one race, despite being impossible to lose 30 grid positions for the race. Nice job FIA. I...

How come some folk DNQ'd during 1993? There were only 26 cars and the 107% rule wasn't introduced yet, am I missing something? In a nutshell: The FIA wanted to spice things up/make qualifying actually mean qualifying by only allowing the fastest 25 cars take the start, a rule they ditched halfway t...

Was it only on Rosberg's car or was Prost's car the same?

Watching that race last night made me feel all nostalgic for those days.... even though back then I was probably moaning about the racing.... also made me feel old realising that its was over a decade ago and next season will be 30 years since I started watching f1 as a 12/13 year old (i'll be 42 ne...

Just allow the teams to tell the drivers whatever the bathplug they want to say to them.... the radio rules are in danger of becoming reject of the year.... when I think about it I think it was better when they didn't broadcast team radio so let's go back to that, team radio always seems to interrup...

Three CART drivers lost their lives in the 1990s. Not sure that rulebook is all it's cracked up to be.

only 1 more than f1

Thanks man, I appreciate that! Remember as well that Hamilton had his 2008 Belgian win handed over to Massa, so barring that ridiculous penalty he was on the top of the rostrum 6 times to Massa's 5. So before that was 1989? Wow... Happened a lot in the 80s oddly (to Mansell twice) guess it was some...

WeirdKerr is right that this move feels like a very conservative one, and one which feels like it was dictated in part because most alternative drivers were already under contract. Rather than being the best driver they could get, it felt more like he was a driver that was "good enough" f...

Completely disagree here. Raikkonen's stepped it up a lot this year, and he's been closer to Vettel in qualifying (he's even outqualified him a few times, so go figure!). He's been far less passive in the races as well; he just seems to have turned a corner. It's no secret that Raikkonen struggled ...

You get very slow away from traffic lights and pretend you're Mark Webber. You accidentally set off from the traffic lights in 2nd gear and pretend your Nigel Mansell in Mexico 1986. Or accidentally set off from the traffic lights in reverse gear and pretend your Nigel Mansell in Long Beach in 1982...

WeirdKerr

The tyre allocation means that every driver has to use softs during the race. Each team has, as you can see, at least two soft sets. So for example US/SS/US is not allowed this time. Which is a shame in a way, since I suspect that the race strategies will then boil down to US-S for the top 10 and S...
