and now for some interesting post race stats: -4th victory for Sergio Pérez .now has twice the number from the other Mexican winner (Pedro Rodríguez); .his 3rd victory with Red Bull, only won for the outfit on street tracks (Baku, Monaco and now Singapore); .his first victory leading all the laps; ....
-One of the issues surrounds staff who were kept on the payroll whilst officially signed off as sick (this won't be to do with Newey and his bike crash, as his salary would be exempt from the cap anyway). I would hope that this is allowed, and not counted as part of the cost cap - anything else wou...
So just off the top of my head, in the history of F1, I can only recall Adelaide 1991 that was abandoned due to rain/weather. We will now possibly have had two in the space of just over a year.
This is just RBR’s penalty for overspending. Winning the title in a anticlimactic and confusing way so it doesn’t feel like winning it :whistling: This is why the FIA has done this, so they can quietly bury the "They overspent but meh lets not do anything about it" announcement amid the c...
The discussion seems to be around Newey. RBR says he is one of the 3 top earners they can exclude his salary but FIA says he is an external consultant so full cost is included. Result is that they're 1million over according to FIA. Well, if he has a contract that isn't signed stating that he person...

So this 'Perez deliberately crashed at Monaco' rumour seems to be gaining traction but there are a number of things that don't add up to me. - Why would Perez do it in the first place? He was 3rd at the time - Why would he stick it in a barrier when Schumacher & Rosberg proved you don't need to?...
Ferrari's past manager's revolving door hasn't exactly led them to success, has it? If they're going to fire anyone it should be Inaki Rueda, that guy shouldn't be tasked with strategising anything bigger than a shopping list.
Mick Schumacher is not being retained by Haas for next season And Hulkenberg is now confirmed. I must admit I have mixed feels as I like Nico, but kinda not sure he'll achieve anything at Haas and would if not Schumacher then at least some other driver who has been sitting on the side lines getting...
and now that the season's over let's do a big wrap up on the stats from this year .2nd world championship for Max Verstappen (equals many all time greats as Jim Clark, Graham Hill and Alberto Ascari and many other such as Fernando Alonso, Emerson Fittipaldi and Mika Hakkinen) .2nd world title for a ...
