September 28, 20231 yr New Zealand's Rodin Cars have announced that their bid to launch an F1 team has been rejected by the FIA. They had promised to run a female driver if successful, expected to have been Jamie Chadwick. However, in their statement they went on to congratulate Andretti Global suggesting they were the sole successful bid. If correct this means that it will now be down to the existing F1 officials and teams to deny them entry.
October 6, 20231 yr Another clown show by the FIA there, mass confusion of who's top 3 in quali. Should take a nanosecond to know if someone's breached track limits.
October 7, 20231 yr I'm getting the feeling Aston are losing patience with Stroll, judging by his reaction failing to reach Q2
October 7, 20231 yr He has been absolutely shambolic in recent races, and soon likely down to 12th in the championship which is quite frankly embarrassing.
October 7, 20231 yr Sky Sport Germany are showing the entire race on their skysportsformel1 TikTok channel on Sunday! Being shown in vertical format optimised for your phone
October 8, 20231 yr Author With both titles now decided, the next six races will be the first time in F1 history that there will be six consecutive ‘dead rubber’ Grands Prix
October 8, 20231 yr Author So FIA have mandated that tyres can only do an 18 lap stint so will be be at least a 3 stop race
October 8, 20231 yr Author Sergio Perez’s latest weekend of woe has continued with Red Bull found to be in breach of F1 regulations after a chassis rebuild. Perez was part of an Esteban Ocon and Nico Hulkenberg sandwich during the Qatar GP sprint race on Saturday and was forced to retire after just 10 laps. Such was the extent of the damage to Perez’s car, Red Bull were forced into a comprehensive repair job on a second chassis in order to get the Mexican driver race ready for Sunday.
October 8, 20231 yr Author Sargeant quietly having a good race - he's not very far behind Albon at all
October 8, 20231 yr A Williams leads the Grand Prix. Albon didn't though, as he never crossed the line in first position. He pitted immediately after taking the 'lead' and by the time he cut the beam in the pitlane Verstappen was back in front.
October 9, 20231 yr With both titles now decided, the next six races will be the first time in F1 history that there will be six consecutive ‘dead rubber’ Grands Prix 2002 also I think when Schumacher wrapped up the title in July.
October 9, 20231 yr Well I thought this weekend was very good. The sprint race in particular was absolutely fantastic action, that's exactly what the FIA had in mind when they introduced the concept with a mix of strategies and the race initially favouring the soft starters but then coming back to medium runners for the climax. Piastri is an absolute don, most impressive rookie season since Hamilton (and indeed the first driver to win a race in his debit season since him too). Gotta be a bit crippling for Lando for now both Ricciardo and Piastri to have a won a race at McLaren before him while he sits with about 10 second places! Certainly validates Oscar's decision to ditch Alpine too. Perez right now is worse than Albon and Gasly ever were at Red Bull, it's actually quite disgraceful for a driver with 13 years of experience to be beaten by both Alfa Romeos when you're in the most dominant car of all time. It's not a stretch to say that any other driver on the grid bar Stroll and Sergeant would be doing a better job. How many track limit violations did he want as well! Speaking of Sargeant, that's another driver who disgraced himself this weekend. Retiring because of exhaustion? Unforgiveable act and think of all the drivers that would kill to get a seat in F1 meanwhile the one race he's not throwing the car into the gravel he can't even be bothered to finish... sackable offence tbh. And lastly what a day for Merc. Lewis quite rightly taking full blame for the George incident. The latter has had a mostly terrible season but that drive on Sunday was absolutely magnificent and reaffirms the credentials he has once Merc finally get their act together.
