i shit myself on the drive to work every day. that way i’m ready for the call if williams get bored of latifi.
Sky sports F1 tweeted out saying who's the best F1 driver to never win a race? Got us chatting in the pub. All agreed on Amon, Heidfeld, Brundle and Grosjean?
F1 drivers who've never won a race who've had really successful motorsport careers. Jean eric-Vergne, Sebastian Buemi and Brendon Hartley.
Best "drivers" to never Race in F1. Valentino Rossi and Tom Kristensen
Did we miss any?

erm, you must have missed my last post.
Derek Warwick? Nico Hulkenberg?
Out of interest, how do they actually track the wind tunnel time. Is there a way for the FIA to know when it is turned on or off, or is it purely a self reporting/filling in a log sheet type thing.
I just can't see what is actually stopping a team from using more time, and not telling the FIA.

Self reporting and the FIA can come down and inspect when they want. Your parts used has to be registered as well and any discrepancy would leave them liable to get punished by the FIA.
It's not easy to get away with extra wind tunnel time as it involves loads of workers in the factory and most of them jump from one team to another if the pay is more competitive. It's impossible to keep everyone silent about the illegal testings for long.
Warwick was the first one that sprung to mind along with Brundel
If you read the article, you'd know why the call didn't happen yet
Hasn't even managed a podium!
hamilton is using his basic bitch brain. i’m a man of sciences. more mass in my pants equals more momentum and more momentum equals more speed.
Just randomly watched this, it might be a little childish and silly but... Horner really, really is a real life version of David Brent, Tsunoda is unintentional comedy gold and Ricciardo and Norris are pretty funny.
A bit late to the party but lets be honest its Ferrari. They are liable to implode under pressure at a moments notice and can see it happening sooner rather than later.
Red Bull and Verstappen might be the most detestable combination in F1 history but theres no denying that they are a well oiled machine and dont normally make bone headed mistakes very often. (And even if they do, they recover quite well).
My thoughts exactly. Valencia was a shocking circuit.
They already have Barcelona, leave them be happy with that instead of another street circuit.
Abit of fun. The driver ratings for F1 2022 game as decided by new ‘expert panel’ Anthony Davidson, David Croft, and Alex Jacques – all part of Sky Sports or F1’s broadcasting output – have been chosen to help form the ratings.

Nicholas Latifi | 60 | 80 | 76 | 66 | 70 |
Guanyu Zhou | 47 | 80 | 73 | 67 | 70 |
Imagine having the same level as Latifi.
How can they have Hamilton below Verstappen in racecraft but then have Alvin/Gasly/Alcon/Russel on 90. Daft. The only place Verstappen is better than Hamilton currently is Pace.
Alonso Racecraft less than Albon and Ocon and some others.
So Max has 70s for awareness and experience while Lewis has everything in the 90s but they're both overall 94.
How does this affect the game ? Or it doesn't

Well let's be honest it's a nonsense stat anyway. Also, these games usually have a number of other stats not on the face card.
Max and Lewis ranked as two highest is the only thing that makes sense.
I think it’s almost guaranteed he’ll be clear of him in next years game, Zhou has grown as the season has gone on.
Heading to Silverstone for the race next weekend, will be camping at woodlands. Anyone done the camping experience, what was it like? Hopefully the weather holds up, raining on Fri but should be dry after that!
max had a short nap at copse last year. might be worth reaching out to him on twitter to find out his experience.
Hopefully F1 do the right thing and ban that cnut from all F1 related events. They've been silent so far though.

Shocking comment by Piquet, there is no place in any sport for any sort of racism.
If Piquet and anything to do with F1 or FIA he should be stripped of it immediately and banned from all events.
Does not matter who it is or if you even like them, this is out of order.

BBC says dry for Friday Sat and Sunday.
Enjoy it
In before someone says neguinho is a term of endearment over there.
That will 100% be the defence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neguinho
There's even a futsal player who goes by it.
So we will see this be described as 'a difference in cultures' even though I feel it can only be seen as weird referring to someone by their skin colour when they aren't even present. At least with Cavani, negrito was aimed at his friend (who was also white). This is Piquet talking about Hamilton.
We use it to greet friends. It's not a offensive word in Brazil, but sometimes it can be.
He knew what he was saying, he has been a round for long enough, to know what the ramifications would be.
I guess the way he was using it as well, he was referring to other drivers by name, but only Hamilton by that term.
It's not offensive if you happen to be white.
It’s disgusting. There’s no need for them to write that stuff about how Hamilton is and ambassador for support or deserves respect either. All of the focus should be on how Piquet has been a racist cnut and should be nowhere near the paddock or representing the sport at all in the future. Pathetic statement from F1.
I am white and I find it offensive.
I used to find Lewis's early driving style overly aggressive but now I realise both that and his demeanour was probably a defence mechanism to all the shit he has been through pursuing a career in motor-racing.
F1 is such an ugly sport and Lewis is one of the few good guys.
