Ground effects should make a huge difference. That said, with the high tech in aero these days, it will only be a matter of time till a new solution will be needed.

Drivers at the limit 100% of the time is a myth, it has never existed. F1 is cyclical, the same issues have dominated the racing debate since the dawn of time and yes, tires have always been in that debate.

How does bringing back ground effects make you think of a return to 2003?

They’ll end up having to cover an immediate payment of an additional 80 mil and could likely face a transfer ban from FIFA for tapping up. They’ve got quite a Financial Fair Play hole to dig themselves out of since this entire transfer was paid in full vs. payments over several years as most other transfers are done.

Sportsmanship comes before personal glory. 

Interesting idea, but isn’t the point of money laundering to get most of it back? Seems they’re just throwing it in a pit

Also worth noting Ferrari did not inform him of the Vettel penalty, so he was unaware if he finished 5 seconds behind Vettel he would have leaped him.

This is the second penalty in as many Grands Prix that I have staunchly disagreed with

You don’t need to use their controller.

Outside of the monthly fee, there’s no need to spend anything additional for this. You can play on any computer with the Chrome browser. You can use controllers you already have. The buy-in cost is zilch.

In other news...Florida.

But it doesn’t look like it’ll be on the racing grid anytime soon—at least, when it comes to F1.

$15-20 is pretty standard pricing.

Eh, might be some hard feelings there but that can always be overcome. Alonso’s contract with Toyota, however, was a roadblock that had no solution.
