IOC will follow the money and raise no fuss. They have no backbone either.

Lock yo doors, Poly's coming.

You could say Verstappen has been enjoying a second home race…

Perfect analogy. There is no going back for the USA.

There is no coming back from this. It is a permanent stain.

A look at the history of the best there ever was. The Quiet Champion captured my imagination when I was 6 and has never let go.

What great news to wake up to. Sexual Harassment Spice is out at Red Bull and Mekies takes over.
Delightful.

The last 2 lines of Tuesday's worlde REALLY capture the current state of the world. From one good thing to what I feel the most these days when anyone mentions the news.

Good times...

First part of the look into the British GP. Hopefully, the second one comes out before Tuesday.

PIA loses an easy win, NOR takes advantage, HUL makes history, and chaos reigns around one of the season's best tracks.

What's not to like?

Another Weekend, Another Winner Silverstone Saturday delivers again and Verstappen ruins McLaren's chrome themed party.

There was a post yesterday, but no SoMe links, which is here: f1iq.substack.com/p/another-we...

And I still think it is hilarious that PIA is aaaangery at his penalty. Which is 10000% deserved. But more on that later...

And we were alive to see Le Mans winner Hülkenberg score his 1st podium, only took 239 GPs.

Remarkable day at Silverstone, all 3 races were brilliant, culminating in an epic F1 GP.

And what a moment for, by all accounts, an excellent bloke. With beautiful hair.

Pride started as a riot.
Never forget.

Nothing to add.

So the new TD came into effect and McLaren appears completely unaffected. WHO KNEW????
Hamilton even said after the session that the rule is a "waste of money". Nice...

This and much more in today's post.

It is coming, so let us all hope that they have a TERRIBLE time in June, July, August, etc.
There are billions of Legos pieces around the world, so hopefully there is one for each homophobe, transphobe, and all other assorted imbeciles, so they can step in one every day.

Another attempt at "spicing the show" goes pear-shaped. Who could have foreseen this??? Other than everyone.

But the Crown Jewel was again a great demonstration of the drivers' skills and abilities, Lando Norris coming up on top while Mercedes faltered quite hard.

It has never worked and never will.

Bunch of FIA people cooking up rules is no match for the thousands of engineers and whatnot trying to find the loopholes.

VER stopped in the last lap, waiting for the red flag. The rule was 3 sets of tyres, not 2 stops, so a red flag would have saved him.

And you should NEVER trust Crofty's reading of the rules.

How did that work out, bubba? Can people finally accept that F1 strategists will never not run laps around countless bureaucrats creating rules to "spice up the show"?

"It is hoped that the change will inject some excitement into the encounter, which takes place around Monte Carlo’s tight, twisty streets (meaning a lack of overtaking opportunities) and is commonly a one-stop affair."

From F1's article on the 2-stop rule.

Is it not a DSQ? Same as if you do not pit in a regular race?

How's that stupid fucking rule working to "spice up the show", you idiots?

F1 strategists will always trump dumb rule makers trying to create artificial drama to please the fans who do not really like F1.

Saturday at Monaco is the best. It has all the best and worst of F1 in two 60' sessions (red flag delays excluded)

Today was not different, even if the local crowd did not get the result they wanted

FP1 and FP2 are in the books, so let's see what they reveal.

Baby Matt was so cute!!!!

And may the memory of your mum never die.

And the main event for the Chinese GP weekend ended with #oscarpiastri wiping the floor with the field and Ferrari+Gasly running into a paddlin'.
