He doesn't really make many good points. He is yearning for a feeling that he had about the sport when the racing was now exciting, but his way to achieve it is not in any way intelligent.
Sometimes people have to accept that evolution happens ev…
There is lots to say about Seb. His heart is clearly no longer in the game. Can't see him staying on after this year.
Hamilton does indeed operate in a surgical way, but no personality at all. Hard to like the lad. The McLaren boys are doing well, …
Tyres are definitely part of the issue. HAAS apparently cannot do anything with them. So much for outsourcing both chassis AND engine and then trying to make the thing work with people who didn't have anything to do with the design. The other thing …
And we're back to penalties. The pass by Verstappen on LeClerc is a bit conflicting. On the one hand you really don't want the racing to be a series of penalties for minor infractions that might spoil the flow of the racing, and yet on the other han…
Gosh yes!
I got to see him race in Adelaide in 1988 I think it was. What a contribution he made. Very sad that it would seem that his lungs - which were his main problem in the big crash - were essentially what got him in the end.
Vale
The championship is not really a question, is it? I think most fans are looking elsewhere in the field for their entertainment. Leave it to Danny Ric to provide it. I think that he could not care less about the penalty. He is determined to have some…
Complicated reasoning there Oz, but after saying that he had no plans to quit, Vettel shows that he is pretty pissed off with the way that things are working. It is a shame that we have talent like Max and Hamilton, and Ricciardo, and Vettel, and…
Wow, wow, wow!
Had a nice day in monaco, and the highlight was a visit to Bert's garage. By God that is an impressive collection!
It is interesting that all of the Ferarris are in the pride of place, and that is natural. Way, way back in the…
Ha, ha, Max, you crack me up! First of all, didn't even get a shot away at Ocon in the weighing room; just a couple of girlie pushes. Then he literally (like literally) takes his toys and storms off the podium. This was one serious example of genera…
Gosh, poor old Denny. I watched his passing live. His bimmer was hurtling down conrod straight at Bathurst in the 1,000, then it just slowly veered towards the guard rail. It was only a minor glancing blow, and the car then hugged the rail as it slo…
Reports now that Honda are starting to find power, though without any reliability. This hybrid era is just weird. Back in the turbo days, Renault got the jump, but it didn't take long for even independent engine builders to get to the 1,000 hp in qu…
...............and the same story 2 races later. There was desperation in Vettel in Japan though. He seems to be really miffed that someone has taken the power toy away. Seriously, the FIA put a second sensor on the car, and suddenly TOIT has no pow…
So red bull and Honda. Makes sense. My feel that Ricardo will announce he's staying with red bull at the next race.
This one was all about the money. No matter what he says publicly.
It is amazing that Hamilton manages to find the tack with all of the diversions and distractions that he has. Stroll is a roadblock anywhere. Just another rich kid playing at Playboy.
The season needs an interesting race quickly, or there will be m…
Didn't see the race as is the norm these days. Just some highlights. It is not that I am too tight to buy pay-TV, but rather we simply do not watch TV any more, so no point having any sort of subscription. You can rarely expect much from Monaco unle…
Sad outcome for Bottas again. Rosberg had the ability or luck to be Johnny on the spot when Lewis had his little periods of losing focus, but poor Valteri can't take trick. This was possibly his year if Lewis keeps this up, but I'm afraid it will a…
Kimi was indeed thrown against the wall for Seb. Makes one wonder what they would do with Vettel & Ricicardo in the team. They would probably have a race to half season, then the slower one plays shotgun for the rest of the year. Kimi is just a …
No, you didn't get it wrong. The Safety car simply changed everything. Vettel still had the best car, they just got the tyre strategy wrong. That was one for Bottas until the Bulls got clean boots. By the way, why on earth is no-one making jokes abo…
Very good result for STR. Let us see if the China result is good. If it is, MaLaren will be soooooo pissed off. They really seem to be in disarray.
This was a race that could have been very interesting, but fizzed out in the end. If we can see all …
HAAS frightened themselves. Too busy watching the monitors to do their work properly.
Very ominous from Merc. The most frightening thing is to see how shocked they were when they did not win. Good drive from Alonso to keep out Max, who said he had …
Well, it will be the usual thing......fly away races not a true guide, etc. There is potential for a more open season for the reasons mentioned though. Also, add to that some changes in motivation (Ricciardo, Hamilton, Sainz, etc), and then the race…
You can't be out that long and get back in. It is tragic that his career was interrupted just as his talent was being honed to a peak, but that is how it is.
And as more time goes by, their livery gets less and less like a top-tier team. Yes, it might have been their colours way back whenever, but they just look like a close cousin to Renault for me.
I am sceptical about this. A dutch-born journalist places a link on a fan site that links to a dutch-language article, and asks us to believe his version? One googles the key words and finds yet more dutch-language articles. For all I know they have…
I think that you are being deliberately provocative Manlio......so I will bite
Ickx - no. Journeyman. Alboreto - no. Inconsistent. Bellof - no. Fast, but career too short to tell. Ruetemann - absolutely no. Opportunist at best. Massa - no. Lacked t…
