Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By tifosi: @Mars87 posted the link to a Reddit thread some pages back that proves otherwise. Although I just went back to look at it again and it looks like the mods scrubbed it. He said ALMOST never. It has to be something really stupid to get penalized for a turn one lap 1 incident. 99% of the time it is written off as a racing incident. |

Ham should know there would be at least one car to the outside of Alonso, even if he couldn't see it. He should also know that space he was aiming for was closing and he was never going to be able to hold the apex with his entry speed and line he was on. It was a reckless move. The wheel banging between Alonso and Stroll was a racing incident and very well could have been a result of Alonso seeing Ham on a collision course in his mirror. I don't think Stroll can be blamed for that contact and he definitely didn't push Alonso into Hamilton. |

Just had a chance to watch this race - it’s pretty clear McLaren made an improvement but landos win is 100% due to verstappens mistake then compounded by insane luck.
No the McLaren isn’t matching Red Bulls speed. Yes brown says whatever but he is a shit stirrer by nature. |

But it’s also a fact that both Ferrari with no updates at all ended up in front of Perez, and that leclerc all week end was 2~3 sec behind max. This combination of track and temp suited Ferrari better and prolly red Bull less. The situation before the safety car is prolly a truer indicator than after too. |

Ehh I'm not necessarily buying the cone damage theory, Max wasn't building much of a gap lap over lap over Piastri in the first 20 laps.
 I'm not saying Redbull is washed, it was a street circuit so who knows what Mclaren's true pace is. I hope that going forward Mclaren's pace is real, and that Ferrari's Imola upgrades work well enough so both of them can put pressure on Redbull and snag a win when RBR doesn't have a perfect weekend. |

Max all but acknowledged Norris was going to win the race when GP told him Norris stayed out when the SC came out. When Max was told this his reply was “fuck.” Seems to be the word of the day.

Which is an honest assessment and the realistic hope that can be taken out of a single weekend. Unfortunately, with all of the hype, clickbait, and outright horse shit that gets pushed, the average F1 fan gets lead down an unrealistic path of hope on a weekly basis. I bring it up as it has become particularly nutty over the last few weeks (on X, etc.). |

With his concentration being the final development and (more importantly) sales of the RB17, I can imagine a stipulation that any announcement would come after that work is completed. It wouldn’t help sales if he, for instance, announced he was moving to Ferrari…. It isn’t exactly a great time to try to sell a $5 million track car, but it would “move some iron” if this was in fact his final automotive project. |

Enjoy a lap around the Imola of old with Derek Warwick in the Arrows from 1989. Interesting to note almost no pushrod movement; all of the compliance is in the chassis and tires. His gear changes are a thing of beauty. I know we can't go back, but I do miss seeing them work like this. You get a real feel for run from the start/finish all the way down to Tosa. Pour homme.

What exactly is Congress going to do? Pass a law saying that Andretti has to be included? File a federal lawsuit against the FIA and Liberty? Cancel all the races in the U.S. unless Andretti gets in? Guess nothing else is going on in the U.S. that Congress needs to be working on. |

Sometimes you'd just get 40 minute extended highlights. Many memories of setting alarms and the VCR for the flyaway races. I'd usually tape them and watch later, unless it was a championship decider (which Suzuka very often was). I've got a very clear memory of having a few beers and watching 1997 live qualifying from Melbourne (must have been 3ish in the morning), where JV was some 1.7s clear of the field and wondering what kind of season it was going to be. Little did I know he'd try almost everything to lose it. |

I had gotten DirecTV and they had combination receivers/DVRs with TiVo built in, so I could record the races on Speed channel. Remember watching the Mika Häkkinen/MSC battles.

I started watching in the early 90’s and it might as well have been a Martian baseball league. It took me over 5 years to meet anyone who was even vaguely familiar. And in those pre-internet days, the only option was visiting the magazine stand (yeah…) and buying copies of Autosport. At this point, it’s kind of surreal to see the change into what it has now become. |
