Finally getting some F1 races worth watching. Quali was disappointing. I expected Ferrari to be 1st or 2nd, not .5 sec off the pace. I knew they would have something for Merc in the race, but I...

Exciting finish to a predetermined season. Nico should have passed LH or just ran him into a wall. That would have settled things.

Nothing in the rules against backing up the field like LH did,...

True. But....If the car is 'fast' - relative to the other in class - they are going to take that away. My point is simply that they will need other advantages in the design to make the 911...

Sure you can. A 944 is a perfect example. The BOP is going to reduce RPM, HP and/or Torque to throttle the car's performance. Either way, that won't necessarily reduce cornering speed. Exit speed and...

Fast is not what matters. The BOP will remove that advantage. What a mid-engine platform can do is allow faster cornering speeds and better tire performance/longevity. Maybe they will get better...

Great article, but the problem I have with gravel traps is that they invariable bring out safety cars. I would rather see a sludge type of material that slows the car to a crawl, but doesn't leave it...

That little prick Ves only got a 5 sec penalty, which moved Vettel to 3rd, Ric to 4th.
Then after the race, Vettel got a 10 sec penalty for a move...

Looks like a regular 911. I can't wait to see inside. This should help fix several weaknesses they now have against Ferrari and Audi. Good luck!

Except he was not arrested for public intoxication, it was public indecency. Hard charge to prove since the cop did not see Lucas relieve himself. If he had been driving, the arrest would be...

I agree, no grid penalty for Vettle. Max's move a few races ago was vastly more egregious. He was 4 off at the apex, but F1 is trying to market to a younger crown of viewers and a 19 year old is good...

Wishful thinking, Patrick. Wishful thinking. :) Merc would have just turned Rosberg loose for a few laps and he would have pulled a gap until DR's tires went off and he could cruise home.

This (https://www.wired.com/2016/07/motorsports-f1-indy-tire-development-secrecy/) is an interesting article about secrecy and IP protection around racing car tires.
