I sure hope Piastri has an absolute iron clad agreement to be racing in F1 next year. I hope he hasn't overplayed his hand. How can he walk back into the Alpine garage (if he is allowed back) with a straight face? Maybe he IS Alonso's protege.
People here spend 10 years bitching about the lack of engine supplier variety and how much the feeder teams bend over for their manufacturer team masters. We get not one but two new manufacturers actually introducing 2 different engines, and the response is 'meh'. Personally grid size is more impor...
I like that pic, half a second before disaster. You wouldn't expect a thing if you don't know the story :8: Late 60's pre-wing era IMO. Not having wings really emphasises the bullet-with-wheels look, and I love the exposed engine and pipes. The resulting sideways and minor air action in the turns a...
It gets even worse. From all the narrative coming from Alpine you would have thought that they fully funded Piastri in F2. His F3 funding (Renault Academy) was his prize from winning the Formula Renault championship! I joined the Academy off the back of winning the Formula Renault championship in 20...
Just came across this today. The level of detail is insane. Plus some pretty hilarious items included like Bottas' wheel from Monaco 2021, Sainz's missing tire, Russell's PowerPoint and topless photos etc.
I thought so too, but apparently the company that has the rights to Caltex internationally bought the Puma chain of stations and is now rebranding them as Caltex stations to make things confusing.
The 2022-23 Formula E World Championship will be the 9th season of the series, and the third world championship. By far the most significant change between this season and last is the introduction of the Gen3 rules package. The new chassis is narrower, shorter and lighter, as are the batteries. The ...
Enough with this "he gets treated special cause he's black" bullshit. Anyone who's been a fan of this sport or followed it for more than 2 minutes knows that NASCAR is NASCAR. Unless you've got your head completely up your ass, you know it's not a sport with the most progressive fan base t...
now some time for some bonus stats -5th constructor's world championship for Red Bull (6th overall behind Ferrari, Williams, McLaren, Mercedes and Lotus) -33rd victory for Max Verstappen (also 6th overall with one more victory than Fernando Alonso) -13th victory for Max Verstappen this year (ties al...
Couldn't care less. I want 26 cars on the grid. Nothing else matters or satisfies me. Was the sport really that great when he had 6 additional cars who couldn't get within 3-5 seconds of the leaders? I agree with you, sport would be great with 26 cars, but not with 20 good cars and 6 shit ones. But...
Then you give the drivers 5 seconds to get to 80kph or face a penalty. Hell in this day and age they could probably calculate this in real-time and anybody who gained a small advantage by not slowing down fast enough is remotely slows until the gap is correct. Or just stop using shitty systems and ...
