    Prost not happy with the current lack of competition for Verstappen. https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/269750/prost-on-the-value-of-verstappen-s-titles.html "..Max is one of, if not the very best Formula 1 driver today, we have to accept that. But...
  • I dont get why he doesnt make use of his squad and adapt his tactics and approach to the opposition we are facing. Example, todays game, we are away to bournemouth. Why not start with a midfield 3 of Fernandes, Eriksen and Amrabat. Keep...
  • Just finished season 4, hopefully it will get the full 7 seasons. I'd love to know where they get to by season 7.

    It's that or it could be the origins series for star trek. It's very watchable. Personally absolutely loved it. The less you know about it the better, just watch it. By the time season 4 ends you'll be clamoring for season 5.

    Italian press claiming that Sainz will join Mercedes on a two year deal. Antonelli will be parked at Williams to learn his trade at F1. Also Perez will be renewed for RedBull. How predictably dull ...

    No way he does that unless he knows 100% that he cant get a drive at RedBull or Mercedes. After all, no customer team has ever delivered a WDC over Works team.
  • Agreed. Which is why I wonder if INEOS can get the right infrastructure in place and get in someone with a track record of developing young players i.e. Potter. It may just work. I recall LVG saying he preferred to work with younger players as...

    Funny that this is timed exactly as andretti announced their new Silverstone HQ. But who wants crappy Renault engines till 2029? Who's gonna take that deal?

    Looks like F1 can't actually do anything right? They've fecked up the 2026 active aero (that no one wanted). Cars are spinning out in straights and need to take corners so slowly that laptimes are slower than F2...

    It's not a straightforward clear cut issue. The bit I've highlighted below is a big part of the issue. CapEx is limited to $45mil a season, so it will take Williams many many years to get their infrastructure up to par as the rest. What the...
