Yea, I thought Vettel may have driven a slightly better race than Riccardo this week but a strong case can be made for Riccardo being driver of this week. I wouldn’t argue with anyone saying he had the best drive. I thought he was out after that blow out. To claw back fourth place was exceptional. Really an incredible…

Whether or not Vettel is racing for the title is irrelevant to how Kvyat drives. He’s not in this to help Seb’s aspirations. The move was aggressive but there was nothing wrong with it. He barely ran wide and it wasn’t until Kimi came across the front of Seb that contact happened. I don’t blame Kimi for that, as he…

In addition to what the others said about the front and rear wings’ effectiveness, I believe it also severely limits the effectiveness of any potential ground effects aero. From what I understand (and trust that my understanding of aero engineering principles is limited) the car must be a certain height for ground…

That sucked for Riccardo. I really expected him to finish on the podium. What a recovery drive though! Incredible drives from Riccardo, Seb and Kimi. Kvyat had a nice drive too. He’s incredibly aggressive, but you can see the skill is there.

Looks to me that Kvyat overshot his line after he had passed Vettel. I maintain that the space was there. It was an aggressive move but I don’t think Vettel or Hamilton or Alonso would’ve done any different with a gap like that. If anything, Raikkonen came across Vettel. Obviously, he couldn’t have known it was a…

I have to disagree, I understand that making a bold move on the first lap is risky, but had no one made contact, that would have been hailed as a brilliant move. The gap Seb opened to his right was considerable and frankly, it’s bullshit for Seb to even try and pretend he would’ve done anything different in Kvyat’s…

I get that doing donuts in front of a war memorial is disrespectful but why is Evans blaming LeBlanc. I sincerely doubt that he planned the spot. Someone higher up must have planned it. Evans just seems like a dick.

But by your own logic, your point is moot. If you can think of three supercars (4 since the 918 has also appreciated since release) whose prices have all appreciated and that were all made in limited numbers, exclusively withOUT three pedals, then the likelihood is that this supercar also made in limited numbers and…

The problem with punishing the person who was on pole the previous week is that qualifying then becomes an exercise in seeing how slow everyone can go to avoid pole. It defeats the purpose of pole. Mercedes knows they can win from starting 21st and 22nd on the grid, they’d just avoid setting a pole winning time every…

Thank goodness this crap is over. If there was one thing no one was complaining about, it was qualifying. Really not much else to be said on that. Glad the old format is back.

God I forgot the British GP last year. What a farce. They drove brilliantly to lose the podium on pit strategy. They did have some nice stops this week so at least they're working on that BUT the actual strategy still isn't all there.

Winning one race would be HUGE and I think they can do it, but half the time as soon as they get into a good position it’s almost like they forget all sound strategy. Like they’re so surprised they even got there in the first place that they didn’t even plan for it. How many times in the past two years have pit stops…

I agree that they’re making practical decisions, but like I said, this was a team that used to want it all and there was a time when they went for broke. I understand that Williams cannot realistically hope to compete with teams spending more than twice what they do but when you come off of the winter and people are…

They won’t win championships as a customer because they simply don’t have the funds. They’d need a manufacturer to come in and make them their works team like BMW did in the early 2000s. That’s highly unlikely but that’s the only way I really see them winning unless Honda can make huge leaps in their PU and allow…

Grosjean really showing his worth as a driver, which is something that I think has gone unnoticed in recent years. Gutierrez taking two retirements in stride. Great stuff from this team. They even managed a 3.0 second pit stop on their first in race stop. Congrats to Haas. Once again showing the results that patience…

I just don’t understand how a qualifying system that promotes drivers simply giving up once they realize that they’re the next to be eliminated is sporting. It isn’t. I was in favor of giving this new qualifying a chance before Australia because it wasn’t overly artificial and it still promoted the best driver in the…

He’s a three time world champion, he’s going to get away with breaking rules that lesser drivers would be punished for breaking, period. It’s unfair in a sense, but Schumacher, Senna, Prost all got away with offenses lesser drivers would have been severely punished for in their prime. That’s the weight your name…

Abu Dhabi pretty much blows. Can we get that off the schedule in exchange for Vegas?

This result just shows that when a team comes into the sport for a reason other than to be the owner’s new toy, they can succeed. This whole time Haas has taken a smart approach: they waited until the team was ready before getting on the grid. They set themselves up for success, plain and simple. Both drivers gave…

I originally didn’t think this qualifying format would be so bad because it wasn’t overly artificial but to see the drivers just sitting in the garage, waiting for the absolutely perfect moment to launch their lap was pathetic. Even worse was when the drivers came out of the garage to set out only to realize a…
