Off topic but very much related to what I wrote above, and other discussions I had over other topics (like “Mercedes never declared we will leave F1 because I never read it exactly anywhere”). Many of you northern people rely too much on news as infallible oracle it seems. Many should use the brain ...

[Say what? Deaths in Sweden from coronavirus over the past 4 months has hovered between zero and 2 a day. There's probably more people in Sweden dying slipping over in the shower. This kind of misses the point of why the world reacted the way it did. Lets also not forget that 6k people died in Swed...

People do not remember also that the very first GP win of Verstappen should actually have been a Ricciardo win - but the team did all what it could have done to ensure Verstappen was the winner. Consciously? Just pure luck? Who knows. Fact is that everything basically went downhill from that moment ...

And Mog, we may all owe you an apology ("choke" ... :lol: ). The WHO Bulletin has just accepted a paper for publication from John Ioannidis which resets the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) at 0.15% - 0.2%. The IFR% for influenza is around 0.1% so Covid19 is like a bad flu which disproportionately imp...

Verstappen was not a red bull jnr? Aye pal.... How old do you want them to be he signed? Verstappen was 17 when he raced f1 and had gone though jnr formulas with RB. Should RB have signed him. At 5? Hey as a ferrari fan you should be greatful to RB, they basically train all your drivers. Sainz left...

Any sport that doesn't actually require you to do physical stuff is not a real sport. End of story. Fact. Period. Full stop. Exclamation Mark. Do you really have no idea how physical it is. It exerts great physical pressure on the body, the driver does not actually do anything very physical. Kind o...

I'm not going to be critical of their driver programme. Which current f1 drivers went through red bull? Verstappen Ricciardo Sainz Kvyat Albon Gasly Vettel Am I missing anyone? That's a third of the grid that came through red bull. They are the single largest supplier. That being said, their proble...

:proud: The thing Ferrari allegedly did last year - when they researched the way to go faster than Mercedes - may be ironically the last “Formula One thing” anyone had ever tried in the sport, to go faster than Mercedes But Ferrari is Formula One basically - and the others are there just to sell car...

Formula One being Formula One, I miss the times where evolution comes forme the species itself and was not brought by above to follow different purposes than “going faster than your opponents”. There was a time when Formula One teams, being the pinnacle of Motorsport, Always would come out with idea...

Of all these buffoons in power around the globe today (Trump, Boris Johnson, Bolsonaro, Putin) I must say the only one I always saw wearing the mask in public before getting Covid was Putin (and he didn’t get in yet). Which says a lot about the bullies - at least it says Putin has some resemblance ...

You also have neglected to mention german unification. Cost them a few bob, but luckily for them PIG have payed for it. That's a very fair point :thumbup: I see may plusses to what has evolved, even if it has its challenges still and has had a price. A big plus will be getting us out of it as we wr...

Im sure you could find plenty that say it will be better than covid. Preceding membership we had the union luddites keeping the country at home. Post membership we had Maggie, who managed to sort out the frogs for a while. Maggie championed the Single Market and the expansion of the EU Don't you fi...

Albon is a joke of a driver, and Russell will struggle to get any third driver contract for Mercedes if he does not improve his game either.
Very disappointed the way he always handles races in the end

AlanBengio

Boris is done.
The mere shadow of himself pre-Covid 19, is ready to be roasted by his party, as the tradition claims.
Before or after Christmas?

Edit - let me cancel this rant that it may be that not everyone concerned is still aware of that you never know

Ferrari to have a sudden and unexplained huge increase in straight line speed next year. Yep. The corruption goes on and on and on and....... It has more to do to the fact that Italy is one of the cradles of motorsport since the beginning of that, and you have many qualified people involved into it...

The site Worldometer related to Coronavirus cases still report for Sweden the same numbers of infection it reported the 2 Sep 2020 (more than two weeks ago). I may be wrong but if that is the case, it is more related to Sweden (which btw has anyway a bigger infection rate than Italy) not reporting n...

deal with it.

WTF does it means?
Now you want all to believe you voted Brexit because with paranormal superpower (only available to Brexiters) you knew Trump was gonna stay so that was better for UK to leave EU?

I always thought, with no scientific basis, that Venus is Earth as it used to be, Earth is Earth as it currently is, and Mars is Earth as it will be in the future (ie impling that all three planets did experience / will experience life of some sort at a certain point)

Williams 11th again. :x These last couple of races were probably their best chance of not finishing with zero points. :frown: Russel Is quick on a single lap maybe, but is always underperforming in the race; and it seems he is pretty keen on performing bad starts where he loses positions. I would s...

So bad Verstappen, Sainz etc were out of the race at the very firs stages... having proved the fast turn plus straight generate enough speed for DRS - that would have been a massive race with them on.
Bottas is just too shy to shine

Car is a wreck - broke in the middle but the cockpit resisted very well

Maybe the instinct of F1 drivers nowadays is “never decelerate” - as there is always off track space where to go.
Unfortunately that is not the case here

AlanBengio

Not even started - six cars already out A bit too challenging this track maybe for these drivers, used to race in circuits where you have asphalt everywhere and chicanes before the main straight The Italian driver got it horribly wrong on the restart. But I think he saw the car in front of him acce...

What an incredible circuit this Mugello is, and how it is F1 never races on such circuits! Shit track. Nice to drive in isolation probably but overtaking will be harder than most especially with only one DRS zone. They are coming from a very quick corner - at a very high speed. I bet DRS will be ve...
