For a long time I've thought that F1 by its very nature is not suited to good racing. You can't make a series about the best components and technology, on the cleanest tracks, at the fastest speeds, and expect a lot of dicing - it's just fiction. Touring car series are great to watch because they're...
I've written a Bahrain preview. Getting paid for hits again so if you could give it a click, I'd be very grateful: http://bettinginstinct.com/2014/04/02/bahrain-grand-prix-mercedes-set-to-continue-dominance-in-the-desert/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Interesting writeup, good read...
Really don't like this calling people out for unpopular votes thing, it kinda adds to the culture of ganging up on people that TBK shows from time to time. It also regularly puts the mods in a bit of a bully role. It's a fucking internet poll, is it really important enough to call people to account ...
And while we're flogging a dead horse, that's the way it always will be when there's a massive rules change. Give it half a season and they'll be a lot closer, but Mercedes is lucky enough to have gotten the new engines right the earliest and this season is already pretty much theirs to lose, just a...
you can't really deny that there was very little on-track action after that safety car period, and I wonder if this is going to be something that's going to be repeated as the drivers just try to get the cars home instead of genuinely racing In what universe was it going to be any other way? The sa...
I still don't get all the hate for Logano. People bitched that he didn't deliver on the hype in the 20, but with Penske he's proving a consistent winner. He drives well, generally isn't a douche and is legitimately excited when he wins. I was happy to see him get the win.
I'm surprised to see so many here focussing on the media and personality side of this, seems like the perception of Lewis as a whinger is the main argument people are using for siding with Nico on the collision. The reality in F1 has always been that unless the car behind is significantly alongside ...
Fact is, it's human nature that when you follow a sport/band/anything for long enough, you "like their old stuff better than their new stuff". If I started watching NASCAR in 2007 I'd probably still think it's pretty great and they're making a good thing better by mixing the chase up. But ...
With Ambrose leaving after this year and Gordon screwed out of yet another championship, I think I've run out of reasons to follow NASCAR. Not that a viewer in Australia is going to matter to Brian France.
