I’m sure Mercedes’ issue with race starts goes deeper than just saying “they’re not as good at it, so of course they ‘have concerns’ about it” but the fact of the matter is, Ferrari and Williams seem to have found the weak link in their armor. Perhaps the wording of “make F1 more dangerous” is misleading when it comes to track limits. Lots of runoff area is miles safer but has removed any visceral penalty from going all four over the white line. As you guys said, there has got to be a solution to that.

With the penalizing of cars if they go wide, off the track, V8 supercars have tried this at Surfers Paradise (similar to the Indy circuit) and still it is an issue every year. Doesn’t mean it cannot be solved, but it proper consideration would be needed. 2. Michelle Mouton vs F1 test driver? Michelle drove rally in the 80’s. think I know where my vote lies 3. Aero as NC, Grace and Paul have said, it can be… Read more »
With new today of the second seat at Ferrari being signed. It seems that Kimi Raikkonen really was on the top of the shortlist to replace Kimi Raikkonen.
Does anyone notice how often Grace says the word “right”? …. Love the pod … just noticed it.
