Sato had seven or eight pit stops last year, but now the question is—are you talking about standard scheduled stops, or those messy ones caused by technical glitches?

Ford - Red Bull Racing

Tyrell - McLaren - General Motors

Of course—back when there wasn't a cap on the number of teams, outfits would just go belly up unless someone swooped in to buy them out and rebrand the whole thing... Right here is the data on every constructor that has ever competed in NASCAR.

edit: My bad, I wasn't reading closely—I see you already included those two...

It seems like you might be able to snag a "pitwalk" pass on Saturday before the first practice session—assuming you're willing to shell out the cash, of course. It really all comes down to how the organizers decide to play it...

They got burned by Kimi once, and now they’re playing it way too safe 😬 And then they make it to the podium in Indianapolis or Saudi Arabia, only to be handed some juice instead of the good stuff 😉

Actually, he offloaded the majority stake to those Wall Street bankers last winter...

😢 R. I. P.

No, I actually loved Murray's take on this—it honestly sounds like someone just tossed a bottle of jam at the car while it was doing 200 mph... How can they possibly be "too fast" when they’re stuck with a limited engine whose only real purpose was to double the number of cars sporting the Red Bull Racing logo?

To be perfectly honest, those teams in Formula 1 that exist purely as walking billboards... they just gross me out.

Of course 🙂If the Williams FW28 was even half as fast as it was beautiful... they’d be unstoppable.



The transition chassis worked perfectly for me...



As for AlphaTauri—personally, I think they look terrible. They might look okay in those promotional clips, but once they're out on the track, all you see is a blue-and-red blur...

Are you talking about what’s happening right now—or just in general?

Delvecchio said:I always thought those single-lap qualifying sessions were the best—honestly, I have no idea why they scrapped them.

But look, my take would be this: award points for qualifying just like you do for the race, but then run the actual race in reverse order. That would create endless strategic possibilities...

Man, that old qualifying format was total garbage. This current way is at least interesting to watch; racing against a stopwatch never really did anything for me. They should probably show more live data during the broadcast—like who else is currently on a flyer, for instance—but otherwise, I think that was one of the worst ways to handle qualifying...

Honestly, today's qualifying sessions were pretty solid—though I do think the third session could use a few tweaks...

The guy just wants to transplant the whole NASCAR Xfinity Series structure into Formula 1. Some of his suggestions actually make sense—like bringing back points for pole position and the fastest lap—but I honestly don't see a sprint race working in Formula 1. The way it's set up in the Xfinity Series, the "main" event is on Saturday, making the sprint a high-stakes warmup that builds momentum perfectly for the big show.

Meanwhile, Max Mosley is coming out with some absolutely ridiculous ideas in his Formula 1 racing column. He's talking about drivers switching teams every single race... 🙄

He's finally starting to turn a corner...

Is this about that fatal accident? If so, I’d rather not see it...

Of course there

That stuff is already floating around on torrent sites...

errr, I think V-Power is Shell
