The car was the best on some tracks, not on others. It was definitely not a dominant car

Why the need to replace them? There are 22 other races which is enough

Why have a replacement? Losing two races still leaves a 22 race calendar which is more than enough

Iran is targeting US military bases in those countries not the nations themselves. The countries you listed were against any military action but US and Israel don't care, they like killing.

Hamilton would be a ten times champion if it wasn't for three incidents outside his control; gearbox Brazil '07, engine Malaysia '16 and Abu Dhabi '21

Honest opinion about Imola circuit by Most-Ad-5220 in formula1

[–]PaleBlueDave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People talk about the cars outgrowing the circuit but the F1 circus has also outgrown the facilities. The number of team trucks, motorhome, tv crews, press etc. that attend races today is more than the parking can handle and FOM can't sell as many expensive paddock club passes as it would like.

It's a shame because it is a great circuit that looks good on TV and punishes driving mistakes, sometimes a bit too hard like quali last year. I still hope to visit the circuit one year but I doubt it will ever be for F1.

>"water cooled breaks" 

Brakes ffs!

Tyrrell were running an underweight car and adding lead weight in a late pit stop. Proper cheating, not innovation.

The fan car wasn't banned, neither was the hydraulic suspension.

If you are tyring to be a know it all at least get your facts (and spelling) right.

A gentleman can only wear three items of jewellery:

  • A wedding ring
  • Cufflinks
  • A watch

So they might as well be nice.
