Of course Verstafen believes e did no wrong-to do so would e to admit that Horner+Wheatly and Co knowingly cheated by influencing Massi to 'adapt' the FIA Rules to the beterment of Red Bull Racing and Verstafen in particular!! Verstafen word it anyway you like, but 'Your Championship' will go down in history as a Championship that was Not Won but instead was GIVEN to Verstafen on a plate by quite ILLEGAL Rule Changes during championship decider race that soley benefitted the one team+driver namely Red Bull Racing and Verstafen-IF together they can live with that level of desperation /cheating to obtain their sorely desired outcome then ALL we can do is say to Red Bull Racing+Verstafen enjoy your ill gotten seriously tainted championship!! Rest assured Verstafen your sketchy driving WILL be closely monitored these coming seasons as will be Red Bull Racing!!05-03-2022 09:30

Yes just like last time FIA will issue exactly the same specifications WILL BE ISSUED to ALL engine manufacturers on that specific as authorised date!! If like last time engine manufacturers invited to FIA for joint issue with zero advantages being oferred to any manufacturer. Had you of checked your facts before rushing into print.... Mercedes used their time+money wisely-others did not even start work on the system till 12-18 months before implementation, its not Mercedesyou should be slagging off but instead be questioning Ferrari+Renault why they were so dammed inept!!01-10-2021 14:43

Access to Zandfort in the mid 1970's was an absolute nightmare, and is still an absolute nightmare to access. Be ready for single track access roads with horrendous queues both trying to enter, and leave the Zandfort circuit at the same time. However the circuit is built in a beautiful area of Holland, in amongst the inland sand dunes, bang on the coastline with farmers fields on the inland side as far as your eyes can see. The downsides will be accessing the car parks, camp sites, and ultimately the circuit itself-as long as your patience holds out in those horrendous queues, and the weekend is not another Spa weekend-an absolute washout it will be a beautiful race, but I am afraid to say the track was never built for modern F1 GP Racing Cars-expect a Monoco like procession of F1 GP Racing Cars, I honestly hoped that the track would have been both extended in length, and seriously widended to better accomodate modern-super wide F1 GP Racing Cars, and ideally at the same time to have addressed the real issue-the dire lack of accessibility for both teams+fans to and from the complex /area. I can see with the dire lack of ease of access and exit from the complex /area ruining the experiences of the F1 GP Fan Base to the point where by choice fans totally avoid they totally avoid the Dutch F1 GP from their yearly procession of following the European F1 GP throughout Europe, and beyond. I just hope that as a direct result of roads being totally gridlocked from Zandfort right back to the main roads /autobahns-hopefully the local councils /government will at last invest into better access even duplicate /triplicate or more access roads, car parks, and campsites are authorised and quickly built around the course ready for next year's Dutch F1 GP.901-09-2021 12:17

Just to show how inconsistent the FIA Stewards HAVE Become, just look at the Perez Incident!! He binned his car into the barrier at all but walking pace, his car IS removed by course stewards, Red Bull THEM Remove Perez+His Car from The Spa F1 GP Race!! Then the race IS started doing TWO laps behind the pace car before being led into the pits under course red flag, and there everyone sat waiting for the race to restart. In the meantime Perez's Red Bull Car returns to the pits, then we see Red Bull Engineers hit that car from every angle removing broken parts to replace with new parts-BUT Why so much haste? car HAS been formally removed from the starting 20 with a telephone call made by their Racing Director to The FIA Race Director, then Horner himself says their is at least 4 hours work replacing damaged parts!! Then Horner states they are trying to get Perez+his car back into the Spa F1 GP--BUT Red Bull not so long previously had withdrawn Perez+Car due to severity of the damage and Perez having been unable to return his car to the pits. And then w have Red Bull Sporting Director Jonothan Wheatley, yes the exact same guy whom previously withdrew their 2nd car from the Spa F1 G Race n9w quoting regulation after regulation to reinstall Perez+Car back into todays F1 GP Race!! What about the rule being ready on the startline before the race commences? Clearly he was not on the grid!! What about the assistance of external help? Did not see Perez carrying his own car back to the pits, but what I and everyone else saw was Perez's severely front end damaged car being picked up and returned to the pits /Red Bull on the back of a lorry? Was the vehicle owned hy Red Bull was the drived employed by Red Bull were the course stewards at the point of the crash or those unloading the vehicle at the 5op of the pit lane? To my recollection Red Bull were only in attendance to remove their car back to their pits AFTER the course stewards had unloaded their car AND handed responsibility to move their car BACK to their pits!! As always Red Bull have tied the FIA /F1 Race Stewards into Red Bull created 'knots of confusion'!! And th8s practice must must be stopped!! There are clear rules for competing in ANY FIA Sponsored Race Event, once a car HAS been at a team's behest be removed from a tracing event by a team for whatever reason, that team should then NOT be allowed to touch that car during the course of that race, and certainly then NOT be re entered as a competitor of the self same FQ GP Race previously said team had voluntarily removed said car from competing in that event-what we witnessed today was the slippy slidey tactics of Red Bull Racing!! Clearly they DO Know what are the rules, yet still they try rewriting the rule book to suit themselves time and time again!! The previous FIA F1 Race Director would have said no, and put the phone down on them all at Red Bull, current man needs to stand up, take on his responsibilities, and when necessary to simply say no, and not allow teams to dictate their 'understandings' or variations of the clear directives as beset within the various ule manuule!!30-08-2021 02:14

What planet did you just drop down from? Be serious-then you work out the necessary speeds angle to hit Lando at, to force him into Max, then for Bottas-remember now 3 wheeled with no brakes to find and wjpe out Perez? And you STILL think this WAS planned by Bottas /Mercedes? That was a simple mistake by Bottas he missed his braking point not taking into account the greasy conditions-if you had watched the start closely he was not the only one sliding under braking-rest were lucky Bottas then Stroll not so, an accident-period!! As for Silverstone that was a racing incident, had Max of not gone off the track AND the incident had gone upto the Stewards either NEITHER would have been penalised or BOTH would have been penalised-they ARE the facts like it or not but they are the facts!! Bit of advice whatever Horner Marko or Josh says divide by 1000% then toss results into nearest bin-then you will have the facts+truth from them-rather than the biased far from facts viterol eminating from their mouths!! Please have a balanced open mind-accidents /racing incidents DO occur, and these should /must be looked as such, and not be penalised just to keep Horner and co happy!! I ask did you watch F1 GP Racing pre RedBull /Horner and co? Then you will know how RedBull /Horner and co have gone out of their way to change F1 to their clearly biased minds!03-08-2021 19:43

You Sir are entitled to your blinkered misunderstood opinions-reality had Max NOT have crashed off the track-he too would have been penalised!! As for Horner trying to say what Valteri did was organised by Mercedes to take BOTH RedBull Cars out in one go-I personally hope both Toto+Valteri take real exception to his comments and demand action by the stewards, and owner of RedBull-enough of Horner's, Marco's, and Josh+Max's totally unfounxed allegations, mud slinging, and outright slander-enough is enough!! Just look back at the history of F1 GP-was there ever so much viterol expressed by one team principle towards another team, lest personal accusations levied by such team principle's at specific drivers as IS currently being expressed towards Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton, and Valteri Bottas?? Two races in a row Horner and Co have adjudged penalties awarded by the FIA Stewards is in THEIR EYES insufficient!! FIA Stewards adjudge each incident according to the FIA Rule Book, awarding the penalties accordingly-that IS how F1GP IS Governed. If Valteri makes up those 5 places in the first 500 yards or he comes in last is immaterial, that punishment was awarded aaccording to the FIA RuleBook, and he will serve that pupunishment with no appeals from Mercedes or Valteri, he unlike others I could mention immediately put his arm up and said he had missed his braking point, could have lied, but instead told the truth taking ALL the blame for his honest mistake.03-08-2021 00:47

Personally I believe that RBR require a complete change to their attitude over bearance and their management style. RedBull owner from Austria must must intercede before his management team led by Horner+Marco and Co with their Lawyers set about interfering within the echelons of the F1 /FIA. Horner+Marco+Wheatly+His Father Jos+His Management /Cindecate of 'shared ownership' of his son Max. Throughout his life he has had his father, soon to include RedBull-Horner+Marco. And Wheatly in his face 24x7 constantly pushing Max telling him he IS the best of all 'Current F1 GP Drivers' together instilling this depth of arrogance, aggression, his failure to comply with all the rules as beset by tbe F1 GP sport's FIA, agreed and signed off for the next F1 GP season /Championships. These ARE the clean with zero reason to shout fowl, and or employ Solicitors to satisfy their own bruised ego's!! Max knew exactly what his intentions were, he was prepared to do anything and everything to keep ahead and win that F1 GP Race!! Max expected Lewis to back out of each attempt to pass him, initially Lewis created a clear path to pass Max-Max knew exactly where Lewis was, with Max resorting to weaving, and moving under breaking to ensure there would be no overtakes by fellow F1 Drivers-Max habitually IS breaking the rules re giving other drivers space to pass, Max IS constantly weaving his car primarily to break 'the Tow effect' and at the same time ensuring any opposing team's drivers will never pass. Max constantly moves his car under breaking-and their are many many more rules that Max constantly chooses to ignore. The FIA must now intercede before Hungrey, pointing out to Max what are the clear rules within the F1 GP Governance, then warning Max re the consequences would be IF he continues to ignore what are The Rules!!24-07-2021 01:14

Helmut Marco When YOU Can Begin To Justify Paying Verstafen WITH Absolutely Zero F1, F2 or F3 World Championships to his name some £18.5 Million Per Year-AND You+Christian Horber+Jos Verstafen THINK that he is a better driver than Lewis Hamilton-SEVEN Yes a SEVEN TIMES F1 GP World Champion-ARE YOU Serious or are you so dammed drunk that you can neither see lest face the real facts-as good as Max has sliwly developed into a more knowledgeable and talented F1 GP Driver-he will never never equal lest prove to be that more complete F1 GP Driver than Lewis IS!! Time for you ALL to face reality-Lewis IS the best F1 GP Driver of HIS Generation, and by a country mile too!!12-02-2021 23:31

Give it just weeks before Alonso starts making yet more 'new friends' within The Renault Team, as normal service WILL be resumed-his mouth WILL run away with him yet again, he WILL rub the team the wrong way, and he will start accusing the team of favoring Ocon over himself, especially when Ocon outperforms him in qualifying, and or during the race-Alonso simply cannot cannot cannot help himself, his ego has always been HIS Big Problem in life, yes he WILL be demanding Number One Status within the team, that will ensure that Ocon is never never never allowed to 'outperform him' in qualifying or during the race, and that Ocon WILL only be allowed to run as the blocking force for him to shine!! Alonso has never never never performed off his own back, its his 'team mate' whom did ALL the donkey work whilst Alonso bathed in THEIR glory-not his own!! Alonso proved in IndyCar Racing that he as a single entity Did Not have the necessary skills to win races!!07-01-2021 13:38

So in your opinion Botas is a slouch, not able to make his car sing or compete with Hamilton-really? You must be watching different practice, qualifying, and F1 GP Races to everyone else????21-10-2020 09:02
