I agree, don’t encourage going slower, but I think we can draw a line between teams to separate them in the way I suggest.
Ross Brawn has talked about penalty weight for winners and, I guess, high scoring teams. It seems to me the idea of variable fuel flow to the lesser scoring teams would be much like penalty weight…
Learned two things from this race, 1) Renault -the team- is never going to make it, I predict they change hands within 18 months. 2) Ferrari will dump Vettel before his contract is up. Who knew Vettel was so persistently stupid. I have never seen a driver so dependent on a faster car and perfect team calls than…
How about a split grid, the first half is 500 feet in front of the first car in the second half, but the slower second half have no tire restrictions of any kind...
Stupid!
If you’re going to make a change to something that works, make a big change. If the end goal is to change the predictable end result of qualifying there is no evidence that this new idea will have the desired result. Change for change sake, with no change in the end, F1 at work.
The only change I would suggest…
MANDATE TEAM ORDERS!
Just have the orders come from a different team.
If Bottas would have won, had he not let Lewis pass, I guarandamntee you Bottas is going to get a win after Lewis wins the WDC. I remember a race a few years back where Bottas moved over for Lewis in an effort to overtake a race leader. Lewis said he would give the position back if he could not overtake the leader.…
That scene in 2001 always reminds me of its antecedent. In 1965 Life magazine did a photo spread and cover displaying a human baby in the womb, it was somewhat controversial and visually spectacular. I only know of this because there were many follow-on photo spreads in other magazines all referencing that…
Just for the record, the Secret Service, which owns and operates these cars, say they have never called these cars Beast or the Beast, this is a journalist invention.
Daniil Kvyat is a fast driver. The simple truth is the Red Bull junior driver program has been adrift for years as its leader Helmut Marko has weaseled his way deeper into the big Red Bull team, doing… something. Marko deserves some credit for Vettel and Verstappen as well as Ricciardo, but he wanted more and the…
Total mind-game action.
Ferrari is really only competing with Mercedes, so this trick is for them, but, its kind of stupid. Let’s say something insightful into Ferrari performance is hidden, Mercedes is still winning. I think the winning mind game Mercedes is playing against Ferrari is the winning mind game.
The…
So again Ferrari descends…
They had it good this year, but Vettel messed it up as if the latter part of 2017 was a dress rehearsal for much of 2018. Even when they get Kimi to do the smash-into-Hamilton job at Silverstone, (Vettel’s hands are clean) the big picture does not play out to their favor.
Leclerc seems a…
The F1 system regarding new drivers might be flawed but it’s not broken. A story entitled, why do F1 teams get new drivers so wrong, might be a better idea to explore. I think right now even top teams don’t know what’s going on the ground has shifted underneath their feet in the last few years.
Keep in mind the…
For 2018 Ferrari has had a unique wheel setup including controls that are unusual regarding clutch control. This first started as a lever in the back of the wheel and now Ferrari has moved it to a button on the front of the wheel, but this button is hidden under the rubber of the wheel, its hidden in plain sight. It…
No French issues love the place and the people etc, but they are different, as are the Italians, Germans, Dutch etc. The French cinematic New Wave wouldn’t be the French New Wave if everyone was not bitching and complaining from start to finish. AMIRIGHT…
I too think Gasly is fast and will give it to Verstappen, but…
I see this differently, America! has just become the worlds biggest oil and gas producer, so, maybe the Middle East is not going to have an endless flow of money without doing some work. What we have here is one too many 747 8i’s, times are tough. Just imagine the nightmare of actually having to compete to sell your…
In response to this ownership of black for artistic use, someone came up with a new more pure pink and stated that anyone could buy it but Kapoor!
I think Gasly will go all French once he races against Verstappen because Red Bull has gone all Dutch and the second driver is always the bad driver at Red Bull. I thought we were getting the full-on French from all the radio transmissions Romain Grosjean gave us but let’s just wait to see how French French can be…
There is a rather big problem with this scenario. This rover has spent fifteen years irradiated by the sun, it’s not safe to bring back. If we wait a few hundred years the problem will only be worse. Imagine that the building of this rover was its conception, the trip through space and the landing was its birth.

You know what they say, F1 is different. You can win win win in other series but F1… it’s different.
