1) George Russell . It's one thing to have the pace but have an unreliable car. It's another to spend all race dragging that car up into the points. If he had 2 fewer laps he would finally give Williams points finish they seek. 2) Daniel Ricciardo . That's the kind of pace and racing we expect from ...

1) Kimi Raikkonen . Just, why? 2) Yuki Tsunoda . Getting a pit lane entry penalty once is bad luck. But doing it twice was not a good look.

I've been working out, just out of interest, how Pérez has compared to the previous Red Bull #2s. While he's been comfortably ahead of Gasly and Albon since round three or four or so, I don't think I or too many others expected him to be so close in performance to Ricciardo! After 8 rounds in 2018:...

Red Bull Strategists (Should have stuck with Perez on the one-stop, they knew you get screwed by lap traffic here because of how short the Red Bull Ring is) I think that I have to disagree with you there and that it was worthwhile for Red Bull to gamble on that strategy. Bottas had been holding Per...

1) George Russell . Made the most of Williams' pace around Austria, if only the car could last the distance... 2) Nikita Mazepin .

Good to see you back Tommy!

I would like to inquire about Carroll Shelby running a part-time team after a decent performance at the end of last season, and perhaps the odd one-off entry or three across the season. I do hope to get control of Eagle in the future, but that is a long ways off.

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 se...

No surprises from me. Ferrari for just an awful, awful day. Mercedes strategy . I know the undercut was really powerful etc. etc., but there were at most 3 laps in that race where it wasn't obvious that Verstappen was going to pick Hamilton off. They should've responded to Verstappen immediately. P...

1) Ferrari. Sank like a stone after the opening 10 laps. The strategists at least tried to gamble but the cars did not look like contenders, getting trounced by Constructors rivals Mclaren today. 2) Bottas's Strategists. I know the Mercedes drivers like to complain about the tires (especially Hamilt...

1) Aston Martin. Not seen on the radar much this race but they made their late stop strategy work and took 9th and 10th. 2) George Russell. Carved up the field as best he could, probably could have scored a point if there were any DNFs. Mercedes' bright spot today. Honourable Mentions: Fernando Alon...

Mitsubishi will join the other manufacturers regarding the legality of Toyota's car. We wish for a more responsive BoP system to allow for closer racing, otherwise Toyota will sweep the season.

1) Pirelli. Tire failing at a high-speed course like Baku 10 laps earlier than suggested is a bad look, especially since it caused severe accidents at 200 mph twice this race. 2) Mercedes drivers. Hamilton cooked his brakes from a wrong button push, Bottas was swamped in the midfield, and no points ...

Very good article, well done by everyone who helped write it!

Bourdais made the most of what he dealt outside of F1, and is probably one of the most successful drivers to be an F1 reject.

And yet again Briatore shows why people shouldn't trust his word.

Good article, as always!

Nice to see that some drivers can start later in their careers and find some success. I would call reaching F1 at all a success, even if it was mediocre in performance.

Perhaps that's an article idea, seeing "late bloomer" drivers in F1 and elsewhere find success?
