HAM has forgotten his murder attempt at Silverstone !

He obviously has a short memory.

Marko believes that Max will be even more determined this season than last after confirming his 6 year deal and Horner has countered wolf's warning by sending him one back

F1 has to evolve and that’s why again engines will simplify even more in future and costs will need to reduce even more. It means Audi and others might join the sport though and keep it in rude health. Does that mean innovation is dead, absolutely not, engineers just need to work harder to come up with new ideas with the boundaries that they have.

Was the Shuttle good in the past but massively expensive on every flight, yes. And so F1 now needs to have its Elon Musk day in the lime light to reduce costs and progress on a firmer footing.

I understand waste but kinda tired or 3 or 4 engines for the entire season. It's racing, teams shouldn't have to turn power down to increase longevity. One engine per weekend sounds about right to me

•Inconsistently => "Lacking worth or importance"

Say that to HAM as he is still weeping how he was screwed by Wolff ..
It was one of the biggest pitstop strategy failures in the F1 history !
HAM threw Masi under a bus ! Only then did HAM his return ...
The depressed fashion queen is a shame for motorsports !

Like other Mercedes preachers : Just sing your Mercedes song ...

Never miss an opportunity to demonstrate one’s ignorance. It’s remarkable with the amount of time you spend here and being unproductive elsewhere how little you understand.

Many people have interesting comments on F1, but you and waffle aren’t among them. All we hear from you two is your dogma from the comfort of someone’s basement while you have nothing productive in your lives going on.

I’m happy to see any and all F1 drivers and teams do well with the odd exception of nuisance drivers (Maldonado, Grosjean, etc).

Instead of interesting discussion we have you two screaming for attention in every F1 thread hardly missing an opportunity to demonstrate how little you understand about it.

Fair comment from Coulthard and kudos to him for that but it needed Max to bulldoze the BS being said before about him that he finally came around.. I've met Coulthard on a couple of occasions and he seems friendly enough; he did tend to go with the flow before as a commentator which wasn't always right.

Then come on more yourself to share in the convos mate, you don't seem to support anyone or any team in particular and I'm of the opinion you have just a passing interest in things that are going on.

Join the conversation? It’s mostly you two repeating the same drivel ad nauseaum.

Still no sign of those Max RB caps with 1 on them, the only ones I've seen lately are the old stock RB caps with 1 on them from the 'Infiniti' era.

The MGU-H was very costly to develop to get it to where it is today for the teams. The the VW groups say we want to come and play but that bit seems expensive can you remove it to make it cheaper for us to enter?

F1 sure sounds ok to us and we are likely to see an Audi / Porsche and AMR engine in a few years.

The smaller teams can’t afford to research and engineer the cars without the big bucks of the top teams. If you want to get closer racing you need to make things simpler and reduce the amount ALL teams can spend.

Welcome to F1 2022+, hopefully more teams secured, better racing and still the pinnacle of motorsport. Lots to like.

Just doesn’t play well to car makers or their customers. Yes I know you got through last season with amazing engines and you only needed 4 or 5 of them but we want to use 20 next season.

That won’t play well in the current climate of sparse resources that are running out does it. They want to play the eco sustainable game, so bigger batteries and less sophisticated cheaper engines that last is the way they will go in the future.

I meant 20 simpler engines with no batteries. F1 should be entertainment and escape from reality. All of my friends would prefer a return to screaming V10s over turbo hybrid trash.

There you go #DipStick right on queue.

I would have been happy for VER had he won the driver’s title earlier in the year. Instead, he failed to make the most of his opportunities while RB had a better car. When he had control of the outcome he blew it too many times and allowed Merc back into the race. Had the rules been followed he would not have won.

If you’re still unable to understand what happened at Silverstone you likely will never understand. It was the beginning of the unfolding of FIA race management for which there have been consequences despite your views to the contrary.

VER was not judged to be in the right at Silverstone, he put himself in that situation. If your unique view is that the car on the inside needs to give way then VER would have been in the wrong many times subsequently.

At this early stage I would guess race leads will not be a private party for VER and HAM this year. More than anyone else, I’m thinking VER will find it a bit tougher going this year.
