So I hope that answers his question as to wether causing a deliberate collision matters or not, but I’m not holding my breath:doh:

Lewis has at least helped to get Ferrari to second in the constructors championship.

I'm sure the team put him out on the best available tyre. They had lots of data to go on, and a whole strategy team to come to that conclusion. Three stopping was always going to end with a stock of very used tyres.

I think you will find that it was he alone who used up his own tyre allocation :dk:

....err, black list Mad Max?:dk:

The superiority of the McLarens does seem to have caused the return of Max Vercrashem.......:eek:

The answer to that specific question is : actually very little. However, if the overall diameter of the tyre is maintained it will normally have a wider tyre as the diameter increases and the profile lowers. The increased width does come with a penalty, both in aerodynamics and tyre scrub and...

This idea has certainly been around a few decades. In fact back in the day they tested some superkarts around the circuit which produced lap times not far away from F1 cars. I understand that 'Elton Safety' was a major stumbling block to that proposal. Can you imagine trying to insure that, let...

Generally not. Some of the reasons behind this are: The cars are smaller The cars are less powerful The drivers are less experienced The races are shorter Whilst I did do a one off Jaguar XJR15 race in 1991 which had some very famous drivers in it and was a good race, most of my experience has...

I see those little rear engine cars are not Impervious to ridicule then:dk:😂🤣

Yes, the fact that there are a factor of 100 more clever people in the F1 teams than the FIA is the very reason that the rule book has reached an almost unmanageable size. Those people in the teams are hard wired to find any loopholes in the regulations because of the very nature of F1. There...

This is great opportunity to meet the Martin Brundle that I know so well. PS. I know absolutely nothing about golf!

I do remember back in the early 80's watching Piquet qualify a Brabham at Monaco. Towards the end of the session he pitted and one of the crew whipped off the engine cover and rattled some spanners around. A few seconds later four guys struggled to the car with an engine cover, fastened it down...

I suspect that Monaco will remain on the F1 calendar for many years to come as a glorious anomaly to the Tilke tainted, wacky world of F1 circuits. ...but that is just my personal view!
