Never gonna happen. F1 would set itself up to competition from other (potential) single seater series if they did this.

They can’t go back, but I’ll star you because you’re one of few people on the interweb that seems to understand F1's massive shift from sprint to endurance racing over the past 20 years. It’s a completely overlooked element that ‘s the biggest lasting change in F1's World Championship history.

Andretti would not be running Cadillac power units. They’d be Renaults branded as Cadillac.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway has an area called the “Drag Strip Paddock”, which is advertized on their site. But Elizabeth would like F1 to cater to the hyper-sensitive morons, because that’s progress I guess.

What about the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which has several paddock areas? This is straight from their website:

No, what’s stupid is that you have people around you who think that someone would name a bridge after R. Kelly.

Now that we have three races in the US, maybe they should start to.

It’s not true that Lewis used to be always on it. He’s always had off-weekends, even through his best seasons. That -and not some random blowup in Malaysia- is what cost him the 2016 title. It’s one of the key reasons why I think Verstappen, now in his prime, is stronger than Lewis in his prime. But Lewis was really…

I don’t understand how you can say that Lewis has lost a step. I haven’t really seen any evidence of that. He’s outperforming Russell, who is a step up from Bottas, and he’s still generally ‘best of the rest’.

By F1's lofty standards, I think Perez is good, but certainly not great. I’d probably have him in the #8-12 range (with guys like Gasly/Ocon/Bottas/Albon) if I had to rank all 20 current racers.

What a loser; doesn’t even have a sim-rig on his private jet.

He’s also still 25. For reference: Schumacher was 32 when he won his 45th GP. Lewis was 31. Vettel: 30. Alain Prost didn’t win his first GP until age 26.

Yup, we’re talking about a guy who had one free weekend between Miami and the Imola-Monaco-Barcelona triple-header (Imola got cancelled but he didn’t know this at the time), and then spent that weekend doing the iRacing 24 hours of Nurburgring with two of his mates. He’s a lunatic.

It’s obviously not a conspiracy. Verstappen has the most extreme driving style in F1, liking a ridiculously sharp front end. Alex Albon (among others) has discussed this openly, mentioning that before he got to Red Bull he believed himself to be a driver who could handle a twitchy rear. Then he had to go up against…

Checo is a really good driver, and has proven that if the conditions are right AND he has a really good day, he can beat Max. But guys like him will never beat someone like Verstappen over a full season.

2019 was a really bad F2 season, as Russell/Norris/Albon got promoted at the end of ‘18 and there was little talent to replace them. Which resulted in this weird season where all of these F2-lifers ended up finishing top 6.

In Saudi Nyck benefited from a safety car on lap 20 too keep the gap closer than it seemed. Yuki was already 8/9s ahead which vanished because of the SC. In Australia the gap was 50s before the late red flag and re-start. In Monaco Yuki was in the points until the rain fell and he developed a braking issue (he was 20+ …

Different track conditions and tyres, so it’s quite difficult to compare either way. Having said that, it’s safe to assume Red Bull saw something they liked.

The gap between them shouldn’t be measured in positions, but in race time. And Yuki has generally been quite far ahead of Nyck.

In his Formula E title season, at the start of the last event in Berlin there were something like 14 drivers who could still win the title. From an “F1 potential” viewpoint, that title is completely meaningless. Marko overreacted to a single performance in Monza last season.
