True, Lotus is the only top team without a works deal. BMW could be great for them. I don’t believe they would buy a team, just come back as an engine supplier as you said.

Yes, absolutely. It’s not replacing the current punishments, they’ll still get the same punishments as before for breaking the rules.

@beneboy
I agree with @bascb I think it just proves the point of COTD. All these teams have disappeared because of economy. It’s only been lucky that there were companies who wanted to invest into buying these […]

Feels like the introduction and music could have been taken straight out of Bruno!

@mantresx
The reason that they added the second DRS zone after banning free use in qualifying, was because they wanted DRS to still be interesting and useful for the teams to set the cars up to use it […]

@eggry
I don’t think Kimi chose the wrong strategy, if you mean 2 stopping. Going from 8th to 2nd shows it was a good strategy. With a better run in qualifying yesterday he could have battled for the win.

It sounds like a nice app to have, but not something I’d be willing to pay a few euros for. At 30€ it’s not worth the price. Especially considering I can get an online subscription to watch all F1 sessions live […]

I can see some possible downsides to being able to see everyone’s predictions when submitting your own predictions. Perhaps not so much in the beginning of the championship, but for example, […]

So Webber is now the oldest driver on the grid at 36 years old. Does anyone know how old the youngest oldest driver ever was?

An awful start to the predictions championship but the best possible start to the season, so happy for Kimi!

I believe too that there was a monsoon tire in the 90′s but it was rarely used so they stopped making it to save costs. I was trying to find some info about it but I couldn’t really find any good […]

I’d also like to see wet weather tires that can handle more water on the track. I just don’t understand how in the past they had races and qualifying in much wetter conditions than these days. I did find that […]

@keithcollantine

I probably exaggerated the “always” bit and of course, lighter isn’t always better if you have to make a very early pit stop , it needs to be balanced. But overall, I think it’s fair to say […]

One thing about the years at McLaren was that these were the years of race fuel qualifying. Hamilton was always given the better strategy, the lighter car. Hamilton is very fast in qualifying, so to then have a […]

@enigma You’re correct. I guess it’s just because I’m used to a different way of thinking. In Swedish, when we say “1900-talet”, it means the years 1900-1999, which is why I’ve always thought of “the 20th century” […]

I had actually never thought of this, so it surprised me, maybe since I’m not a native English speaker. I find it odd to imagine it that year 0 doesn’t exist though. To me, surely year 0 would be the first year. […]

I might be wrong, but I’ve never heard of Ferrari having pushed for Kimi in F1. When Kimi joined Sauber, Red Bull was putting pressure on Sauber to take one of their drivers, Enrique Bernoldi, but Sauber chose […]

I don’t know how Marussia was missing experience regarding set up work with their former lineup. Glock had many years of experience, I doubt Bianchi, a rookie, can bring any improvement setup wise compared to Glock.

I think so too @shreyasf1fan but unfortunately it’s the only team left with a possible seat left if Razia can’t get his sponsorship situation sorted out. At least Marussia is better than being out of F1 for a year
