Please get rid of the annoying Cadillac advertisement that pops up every 2 seconds. This is s(-h_i_t!!! What a ridiculous ad. I am going to spend more time at PlanetF1 if this continues. Absolutely ridiculous.29-04-2025 07:31

Yes, good rewards for their British F1 partisanship. Actually Croft has improved so much as far as providing balanced commentary. In the years leading up to 2021, he filled his commentary with pro-Mercedes and pro-Lewis bias at every turn. The Sky management has done a lot to clean up the objectivity of the F1 shows. They dismissed both the nauseating Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert, Croft and Kravitz were reigned in, and they brought in more neutral female hosts like Bernie and Naomi Schiff. It is also so nice not see rainbows and political statements all over the Mercedes. Things have improved at Sky.28-04-2025 23:51

I know GM does not have the in-house expertise to design race engines at this level. Only a few companies can build a competitive F1 engine organically and that is Honda and Ferrari. Ford certainly cannot and never was able to do it in house. Ford simply used Cosworth which is a separate group. It will be interesting to see how competitive and who actually builds the GM power unit for F1.25-04-2025 02:27

Those comments not making Stella look too intelligent. Elbows out is required and the very best F1 drivers we have seen over decades were able to drive aggressively when called for. Senna and Schumacher were both capable of that quality and rightly are considered amongst the very best ever. It is the common thread that runs through the greatest. Look at Mansell and Rosberg, they had an aggressive style that was quite effective.22-04-2025 19:52

Max has been penalized for not giving racing room previously and the otherwise objective commentators of Brundle and Chandok have vigorously criticized Max for it. Both drivers were dead even at the apex, so the corner was not necessarily Oscar's as Brundle .and Chandok claimed. These are difficult calls.21-04-2025 08:01

I am not upset either way regarding the penalty. The problem I have is with Sky analysts I respect who are usually on point and very insightful. Since they are British, I think they tend to skew their logic in favor of their preferred driver or team. For example, Karun Chandok who is very good claimed that Max should have given up the corner to Piastri as did another great commentator Martin Brundle. (By the way, Chandok was a huge supporter of the failed Lawson promotion and still tries to defend Lawson saying he was as fast as Yuki which is nonsense. Chandok can be wrong.) Anyway, at the apex of turn #1, Piastri and Max were dead even side by side. Piastri was ahead before the apex but at the apex they were even. If the 2 drivers are even, then why is the corner necessarily Oscar's as Chandok and Brundle claim? What basis in rules or logic to determine that Max should give way? Brundle and Chandok fail to make any justification for their opinion. Both are usually highly analytical and technical commentators but in these circumstances I think their bias wins out as is the case for most humans. I believe Max gained extra distance by cutting the corner though. Brundle claims that Max would not have made the corner, but that is irrelevant and cannot be said with certainty. I notice these traits from Chandok and Brundle in contentious calls that involve their preferred drivers or teams.20-04-2025 23:15

You need another hobby or something. Max is faultless and considered the best in F1 today as Martin Brundle said in opening comments. What are you bickering about?20-04-2025 22:06

Entering the apex Piastri was ahead, but at the apex it was dead even or a few inches in Max's favor. These are difficult situations since only 1 car can go through. Max deserved to have some racing room since he was NOT behind. However, what can Piastri do? I have seen the roles reversed as well. I think having Max give the position back would have been a more fair outcome. Max did get an advantage since he was further ahead after cutting through.20-04-2025 21:47

I watched all the drivers you listed except Clark who was before my time. I can say that Max has the special qualities that puts him at the level of all those greats. Max is smoother than Senna but with the same apparent reation time. In my life, I got to watch the greatest baseball player in history in the form of Barry Bonds. Now I have a chance to experience the greatness of Verstappen just like Senna and Schumacher. I do appreciate it.20-04-2025 08:13
