It has been 10 years since the first Formula E double-header round at Battersea Park, where a number of forumites went to the pub after the Saturday race, chatted about the Formula E race and Mr Jim Dinizintheoven turned some of the conversation into a podcast. I have just booked grandstand tickets ...

The one team that has underperformed significantly compared to last year is Aston Martin, and Williams, Haas and Alpine have been the biggest beneficiaries at their expense. Williams probably has the advantage of a slightly more settled situation out of those teams - slightly less disruption within...

Williams for great teamwork and also finishing top of F1.5. My money is on them getting P5 in the constructors. Also great podium by Leclerc. It may be a little difficult, as Vowles mentioned they are already curtailing development of their car this season and will put most of their resources into ...

Foxdale Press Release This year has been reminiscent of our debut season in 2013, with a win-or-bust attitude, which has paid off for this race. And we are glad that McFry finally got the win he has been fighting for for so many years. Commiserations to Voekler though, we will give him every opport...

Alex Albon in a Williams is still somehow in the top 8 of the driver's championship. How?!

dr-baker

It all started in qualifying when the FIA did not penalise Hulkenberg until 45 minutes after the incident, which stopped Albon from progressing to Q2.

This is sounding like a return to the Capricorn AI theory needs reviving.

Bit of an omnishambles finish to the Miami ePrix at Homestead Miami Speedway. Nearly a quarter of the grid (5/22 drivers) still had 6 minutes of Attack Mode to use after the red flag with only 3.5 laps to use it once the race got back underway. Tactically it might have been faster to save the attack...

This is very reminiscent of Foxdale's debut season, qualifying well and getting fastest laps, but unable to convert into race finishes. However seeing Koenigsegg complete the podium fills the team with hope.

Carlos Sainz got fined for missing the National Anthem before the race. Because he was at the medical centre receiving medical treatment for an upset stomach. I understand that they reduced the fine by more than 50% as he had a valid reason, but i reckon the fine should have been nothing at all if a...

You could do it perhaps?
I think I will do that, now that Hamilton's confirmed to be returning for 2025!

Good for you! I look forward to it.

In another surprise announcement, Nic Hamilton is returning to the BTCC for the first time since mid 2023. And he's planning to use the opportunity to promote ways into motorsport for people with disabilities.

A New Zealand grand prix - why don't they have one? (I'm aware of the Oceana series). Would be good to have a Finnish GP too given the number of successful drivers from there. Problem with Finland is lack of a track. Good rally stages though. And lack of someone willing to thrown hundreds of millio...

And Williams now at 100% of their 2024 points total after just 1 sprint race, 2 Grands Prix, and 3 disqualifications in China. Even with Carlos Sainz struggling, they have done really well so far in this season. At this rate, they will get past the 100 points which will be a massive achievement for...

I'm just going to say Albon. Apparently today was the first time in 10 years that Williams have led a race, albeit briefly.

Early contender for ROTR: Freight delays getting F1 from Melbourne to Shanghai. This means delays in getting the cars prepped for FP1 and therefore a relaxation of curfews for the mechanics.

I agree, but also there are certain tracks where it would be more welcome than others. I.e. it would be better to add water to the boring tracks. I don't really think it's ever necessary to add water to Silverstone, Spa, and some others, whereas there are some where it would almost always be welcom...

Every time wet/dry conditions make a race interesting I'm drawn to Bernie's sprinkler idea... I get it, but I think if it happened every other race meeting it would get old before the season was out.

Lots of candidates so I’ll just list them Alex Albon: The arrival of Sainz has seemingly spurred Albon to up his game this year, qualifying a fine 6th and finishing a stunning 4th was just reward for their performance in testing.
