I wonder how much pre season testing they will be allowed for the new cars? I'm guessing the standard 10 days. Cant wait, pre season testing is always good fun to watch if not just for the random commentary that goes on

 

All times HST

 

I highly recommend going back and watching the 2020 Styrian GP. Some great mid field action…

 

Last Lap Lando

 

Some great news... Silverstone will allow full capacity - "Ticket holders will be asked for either proof of a negative lateral flow test taken within 48 hours of arrival at Silverstone or proof of full vaccination"

Abu Dhabi track changes...

• Eliminating the chicane and widening the hairpin at Turn 7
• Removing the four sharp corners at Turns 11, 12, 13 and 14 to be replaced by one long banked turn
• Opening up the radius of four corners (Turns 17, 18, 19 and 20) to create a faster flowing section of the track.

any predictions that the championship goes close to the end, and this will be a deciding factor? if you undershoot the new timing requirement then the mechanic must do his job over before the release signal...
coming in August.

Another bullshit ploy by 'Toto the whiner' to win races.

 

could be Toto, could be Marko, could be Todt back in the day... F1 yknow

 

Fricken brilliant. Why not make F1 into a TSD rally?
Seriously, would it not be easier just to limit the number of guys over the wall, like IMSA does. Oh wait, we're F1, we never use a solution that someone else has.

edit to add. Ever see the movie "Major League", when the fans are complaining that the ball hit out of the park by the rival team was "too high"?

 

F1 knows no other method than to complicate things. it's totally ridiculous, agreed.

 

I think we need more pit stops not less. This doesn't help. How many cars have been released without wheels tightened this year?

 

Make them have too stop three times and have use all three types of tires…. Heehee…

 

You could go that way too!!

Cant stand that guy. JMO

 

I haven't followed the sport long enough to have an opinion on that guy. Just always intrigued by how bold and brazen the sports reporters are that cover the sport. Much different compared to say your typical NASCAR or NFL reporter

 

sports reporter and F1 world champion haha
