So question I want to look at today is should F1 change the RedFlag rules??? Now within the last 12 months the been 6 RedFlags! Now that is abnormally high considering how many red flags where thrown between 2015 to end of 2019 which was only 5!  So within the last 12 months we’ve seen as many RedFlags as we’ve seen across years of 5 seasons! So is it time for a change? Under the current rules it allows teams to change tyres, to change wings and damaged body parts like for like. It also under the current rules in enables drivers who are a lap down during races to come back onto the leaders lap. Now personally I think this is a rather unfair situation. Because ultimately put it this way your not allowed to leave the track and gain a advantage yet your allowed to repair a damage car or gain back significant time under one of these safety cars!  Also if you repaired a car during parc ferme you’d have to start your race from the pit lane. In my opinion the current set of rules are...

So with British GrandPrix now done and dusted round 10 leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. FIA seriously are becoming woke bunch of cowards that hand penalties out left right and centre for pathetic tiny incidents but when it comes to serious incidents they barely give a slap on the wrists.  Now I’m all for wheel to wheel on the edge of my seat stuff as a spectator but when the line is crossed which does happen the FIA seemingly aren’t handing out penalties that they should to deter this! This is going to end up someone having such serious crash we will be witnessing another Jules Bianchi or another Romain Grosjean. Like these crashes are now happening so frequently it’s actually quite off putting. F1 has been or should be the 20 fastest, 20 most skilled but most importantly most action packed wheel to wheel Motorsport series without wheel banging. That is what F1 is, it’s not bumper cars, not nascar or whatever it’s F1, it’s the pinnacle of motorsports allegedly!  What ha...

So this weekend at the British GrandPrix F1 is trialing a new format structure. It’s aim is to produce better entertainment for fans not just at home but at trackside. But the question is has it worked? Well after today’s event I’m not tempted to say yes but I am certainly convinced the is something to work with here. Do I think it needs another opportunity? Well yes it does I wouldn’t mind seeing this format again because so far in my opinion it’s kinda worked. Now it hasn’t delivered anything a normal qualifying couldn’t deliver and we’re not going to get really a super mixed up grid because realistically other than Sainz who starts 11th and Perez who’ll start either 20th and last or from the pit lane ideally the grid is pretty much more or less the same as if we had a normal qualifying session of Q1, Q2 and Q3! However and here’s the big but it was somewhat entertaining and for fans trackside to see a race on Saturday must of been fantastic, to see Qualifying on Friday again fantast...
