Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race - Germany
2. 2019 German Grand Prix - the most exhilarating two hours of entertainment I've had all year. Hopefully Liberty Media are watching and making plans to keep Hockenheim on the calendar. aaaand you've guaranteed the next five German Grands Prix to be ordinary, forgettable dry races. Otherwise, this ...

Re: Your Reject of the Race - Germany
I reckon I can narrow it down to a standout candidate: The first and last corners. Most - certainly not all - but most of the more rejectful moments of the race happened in the general vicinity of these locations.

It seems that the Irish media has a bad track record when it comes to getting the names of future world champions right:

Re: Unpopular F1 opinions
That's a hot take. I mean, it wasn't god-awful, but it very very very quickly ran out of steam. The idea of having satirical commentary over an F1 race is a great idea to me, but in that specific way it just didn't work. Some in-jokes were pretty good, like the dramatic Spanish music over Alonso's ...

Re: Ponderbox
I've been watching back the early 90s seasons for a while now, and one thing I am always keeping an ear out for is Murray Walker commenting that Ukyo Katayama was the greatest F1 driver of all time. Does anyone know the context behind this? Was he being sarcastic (which seems out of character for M...

Re: Ponderbox
It was the new F1 trying to find a replacement for The Chain, in my opinion. It wasn't, because The Chain was only ever used in the intro for the BBC/Channel 4 coverage. It means nothing to viewers in France, Germany, Japan, Finland, America, etc. What it was actually replacing was this. (I do like...

Re: Ponderbox
Here's a ponder: remember at the start of last season, when F1 announced it was getting theme music and everyone was like "why on earth does F1 need a theme song?". What's your thoughts on it now? Is it still far too gratuitous or has it just become part of the F1 experience? I was on the...

Reject of the Race - Great Britain
I just want to get this out of the way and nominate Haas . The ongoing Rich Energy debacle and Grosjean's pit lane crash practically sealed it already for me, and what we've seen from them today just makes it a formality. I can confidently say that even the entire top six taking each other out could...

Re: Who will be Red Bull's drivers next ... week?
I just want to address one point: [Pato's] only experience of being up against a reasonably good field of opposition has suggested that he's a driver of roughly Nabil Jeffri's level. While I agree he's probably not ready for F1, I find this conclusion to be totally absurd. Now, I can only really spe...

Martin Donnelly Faces Possible Amputation
Martin Donnelly has suffered another critical leg injury while partaking in a charity bike ride. The good news is that his life is not in any immediate danger this time. The bad news: he could lose his left leg. Jonathan Lewis has started a fundraiser to support Martin, which I'll leave here: Fundra...

Re: Who will be Red Bull's drivers next ... week?
Maybe Patricio O'Ward might be bumped up at the end of the season if he adapts well to Super Formula? Although he doesn't know the Formula 1 tracks so he would benefit from a year in Formula 2. Lucas Auer is doing reasonably in Super Formula, isn't he? Neither of them have the points required for a...

Re: Rantbox
I didn't hate the French GP. It wasn't the most memorable race, as evidenced by the fact that I can't remember much about it, mostly Russell's pass that didn't even get shown and people complaining about the stripes I actually think look kind of cool, but it wasn't offensively bad like, say, the av...

Re: Non-F1 deaths in the automotive world
I had thought of making a thread about Norman Dewis when I read the news of his passing, but this is certainly a much better solution. Thanks, Diniz. Not a name of international renown, but he did make the national news here for all the wrong reasons, Manus Kelly was killed participating in the Done...

Re: The Austrian GP
So Vettel out in Q3 with a pneumatics issue, will start 9th (Magnussen starts 10th due to a gearbox penalty) if they don't have to take the car out of Parc Fermé to fix it. Hamilton might get a 3 place drop, depending on what mood the stewards are in. (obligatory stewards would never penalise Hamil...
