    mattshaw85 commented on the post, Sky to raise F1 channel cost and offer cut-price stream 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    Urgh. But I have to say it was always going to happen wasn’t it?

    I just wish we had a choice. But we’re pretty much held to randsom.

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, The pay driver debate needs to move on 3 months ago

    Fully agree with this. I suppose it’s easy to get caught up on one issue when it’s the one that seems most prominent – but as you say it’s more a sign that the greed cannot be sustained. Circuits not being able to […]

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, Hamilton: “I hit the brake and the pedal went down” 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    I guess he’s always going to be pushed to compare, but I did chuckle when I read the bit about the McLaren of last year having loads more downforce – it’d be very easy to read too much into that. He would be […]

    Personally, I wish they wouldn’t use so much white.

    Oh man I bookmarked this thread ages ago and haven’t checked for a while but very glad to see more updates! Awesome work, can’t wait to see more!

    Great thread & project!

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, Button wins intense race as Vettel recovers to seal third championship 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Does anyone know if Hulkenburg got a penalty after the race for sliding into Hamilton? Seems like the 2 incidents should be treated similarly?

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, Button wins intense race as Vettel recovers to seal third championship 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Cracking race, Vettel very lucky to keep his right rear wheel though!

    I know the yellow flag thing has been done to death, but Alan Mcnish seemed to think he overtook on yellows, albeit marginally after […]

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, F1 finally cracks down on track limits abuse 10 months ago

    Can they not just replace the strip of astro turf with real grass, and maybe make the strip a little fatter? Currently you can get away with relatively big mistakes without being punished.

    As Vettel was being […]

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, London Olympic circuit under official consideration 10 months, 1 week ago

    Agree with this. I don’t mind the track, reminds me a bit of Melbourne, and I’m not against these types of races full stop, but it’s always going to be at the expense of a proper track in the long term. It’s a bit […]

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, Which races should DRS be used at? 10 months, 1 week ago

    It’s a difficult topic, as my understanding was the idea for DRS was to counteract the dirty air coming off the car in front to enable overtaking. It just seems way too easy to get past in a lot of instances. […]

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, Rate the race: 2012 British Grand Prix 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Fairly run of the mill race. I was actually disappointed there wasn’t so much as a shower, mind you thats probably a good thing for the fans that went along. Looking like McLaren are starting to be left behind. […]

    mattshaw85 replied to the forum topic New F1 podium design in the group Group logoF1 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Didn’t like the podium design, it’s a little garish! And preferred the real flags too, but liked the interview on the podium, and the way they’ve set it up so more of the fans can see the podium a lot better.

    mattshaw85 commented on the post, Furious Perez demands action on Maldonado 10 months, 2 weeks ago

    Personally think he’s a danger on the track. Seems to have no respect for the other drivers. Probably due a ban, seems to get off lightly compared with other incidents, surely all the incidents he’s been involved […]

    Will watch it on the BBC where possible this year, despite the departures I still prefer the overall feel of it. Also feels like they have a better relationship with the teams and drivers? Could just be me that […]

    “If Susie is as quick in a car as she looks good out of a car then she will be a massive asset to any team”

    That’s… progressive.

    I will never forget seeing the original ‘Formula one’ on the Playstation.

    I was amazed. The track actually looked like the real one. It had Murray Walker commentating. I was blown away. For that reason it has […]
