Re: 2023 Discussion Thread
If we are to have sprint races next year, I would propose that teams have third (and fourth?) cars built up and allow their reserve drivers and their F1 Academy drivers race. It's a great idea! Which is why it'll never happen. And if it did, Liam Lawson might well do an Agostini on the field. (Whic...

Interestingly Maria de Villota seems to missing from that list, even though her death can be attributed to her testing accident. I noticed, but I always thought her case was debatable. She crashed, she was rebuilt, she told us she was taking up a new career as a safety adviser, she got married. For...

This raises a grim statistic: is Ain-Diab the only circuit - and in turn, is Morocco the only country - that has had a fatality at every Grand Prix it's ever hosted? Even if by "every Grand Prix" that means "the only time it happened". I've already checked Pescara and every driv...

Day one of the event - the drain cover, and the spectators not being able to stay for FP2, having only seen 8 minutes of FP1. The spectators issue is resulting in a lawsuit: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/law-f ... /10548637/

Although the DRS made overtaking down the main straight in Sao Paulo very easy, I enjoyed that drivers were able to fight and retake their positions shortly afterwards. It may still be a false fight, but it gets rid of the impression of Trulli trains forming.
