Off to the gulag with you.

For me, Stroll beaching it is a good, old-fashioned ROTR slam-dunk. One thing I'm curious about is whether the replay of him beaching was ever played, I didn't see it anywhere, but what a colossal bathplug that would have to have been, after him being shown pointing the wrong way but still on the t...

1. Hamilton, for reasons discussed.

2. The stewards, for their consistent “driving standards for thee but not car thirty-three” approach.

Do Red Bul just have a thing about screwing Aussie drivers over? First Webber, That's certainly a take...... Yeah, not sure that Toro Rosso giving a 35 year old who's a good 5 years past his best the boot after giving him nearly a full season out the goodness of their hearts is "screwing him o...

2. Esteban Ocon. Wrung another point out of the shitbox.

Can't disagree with either of these shouts.

Not really sure there were any real standouts for me, fairly sensible race all in. I think McLaren deserve some stick for contriving to finish 3rd and 6th with probably the fastest car; Norris in particular ruined his race with that small mistake at the start which condemned him to an afternoon of D...

1. McLaren . Absolute boneheaded stupidity, a complete driver management failure. If Norris loses the title by seven points, we can point to this nonsense. :facepalm: 2. Max Verstappen . A petulant toddler when he's not 30 seconds up the road from the next driver. Reckon we can wrap the thread up h...

Good to see that the FIA/F1 have simply decided that the concept of a saturation point simply doesn't apply to them.

The whole Nyck de Vries debacle: This has to be my personal favourite, purely because of how laughable the whole thing was. Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri/Racing Bulls/whatever they're calling themselves today's whole raison d'etre is to act as a nursery for graduates of Red Bull's young drivers program, t...

Can only be the race itself . After the omnishambles preceding the race, I certainly wouldn't have predicted the race itself to be a cracker. As an aside, it might be my disillusionment and apathy towards the sport returning, but I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find any of the drivers genuine...

HM: Mercedes: Apparently they were the only team who (understandably) rejected Ferrari’s request not to be penalized for Sainz’s component changes which makes it pretty funny that both cars ended up behind him when all was said and done. Not helped of course by the fact that their driver line up ha...

Lance Stroll. Qualifying 3rd and finishing 5th certainly would've counted as infinitely improbable pre-race in my eyes.

takagi_for_the_win

Gotta be Leclerc's Ferrari, followed by Mercedes for me.

takagi_for_the_win

In a season where not much infinitely improbable has taken place, it has to be Ricciardo here. Don’t think many would’ve foreseen him sticking an Alpha Tauri on the second row, finishing 7th, and crawling all over the back of a Merc by race’s end. Feels unfair to give Norris a shout, we’ve long sinc...

takagi_for_the_win

Feels unfair to call this a nomination because he did eventually pass him, but Ocon’s “ tell Haas I’m going to go for it, so be ready ” radio message immediately before bailing out of a move, nearly going off in the process, and then spending the next 12 laps very firmly not going for it gave me a c...

1. Fernando Alonso - Dude does the most rookie of errors causing a 5 sec penalty which turns into a bad stop and then tries to pass Perez and ends up losing a position to Ocon. Then he goes off twice. Ends up last 2. Sergio Perez - Spins in Q2 and then is on course for a penalty or so after hitting...

Christ alive, Fisichella is proving to be one of the revelations of the season so far!

takagi_for_the_win

As much as the "both Alpines being involved in the same first corner shenanigans and the entire team's race being over after 5 minutes" thing would undoubtedly pass my personal "would Jenoch have found this funny?" threshold test, I don't think it's fair to nominate them because ...

takagi_for_the_win

Personally the weirdest thing for me is that de Vries got the drive in the first place - Red Bull taking a 27 year old who was never affiliated with them, and putting him into their junior team off the back of an admittedly good one-off performance, but one that took place on a track perfectly suite...

Despite the overall result not being what we wanted, Honda are content with the overall flashes of pace shown in our first weekend back. The highlight from the point of view of Honda Racing F1 Team was Tora’s exceptional qualifying, putting the car on the third row of the grid first time out marks a...

I find it quite interesting that Hamilton has got countless shouts for airing his frustrations over the team radio, but not a single shout for Sainz for his pathetic attempts to get a penalty for Perez. Anyway, the obvious choice is the 1,200 track limits offences. Passes my personal “would Jenoch h...

Honda will refrain from approaching an F2 team for 2000.

We are appalled that Honda has not reached out to supply engines to us despite our long lasting relationship running the Mugen-Hondas competitively. We are however open to negotiations if Honda is interested in supplying the engines to us. As previously stated, we at Honda are wary of overstretchin...

Honda Racing F1 Team Honda notes the interest shown by Benetton with regards to a customer engine supply deal for 2000, and is flattered by the interest from such a well-established team. However, as the 2000 season is the company's first season in the sport's modern era running an entire works ope...

1) Formula 1. I have really tried to love this season. I finally got back into the sport in 2020 and although Merc were still very good, there were genuine signs of actual competition happening. How wrong I was. There is something fundamentally wrong if one team can totally dominate. There has not ...

Apparently Liberty, having seen and heard how fans aren't huge fans of sprint races and having seen and heard how the drivers aren't huge fans of sprint races, have decided to push for 10 sprint races for 2024. The phrase "saturation point" just simply doesn't exist in their lexicon clearly.

takagi_for_the_win

Pretty weird to see Verstappen insert himself as the authority on good driving standards, considering his many on-track antics between 2015 and 2021.

takagi_for_the_win

Gotta be Race Control with the Alonso shambles. Passes the "would Jenoch have found it funny?" test with flying colurs, that's enough for me.

takagi_for_the_win

Tora Takagi would slot nicely into one car - sort of duty bound to suggest him, but he was also pretty quick when he wanted to be. Plonked the bathplug awful 1998 Tyrrell 13th on the grid on his debut, and I'm sure if his two teams in the sport weren't Tyrrell in a death spiral and Arrows entering ...
