Checo locked up, by a bird ...

Is now head the new FIA sporting director?

Shaila-Ann Rao is now the rule maker.

Toto has a direct line to decision makers.

Personal lawyer to sporting director.

Toto created a two headed monster with new race directors, who seem determined to enforce rules.

Clever Toto could not change race directors again, so he changed the race director boss. Well done.


Baku Race Notes

All cars will be required to porpoise going forward.

AMG project one launched today, quite a nice machine.

Imo the valkyrie should be faster because it's lighter and makes 2x more downforce - if the tires can handle it. I think it'll come very close to F1 performance, if the venturi tunnels can produce that massive amount of downforce at useable speeds, and it's not just a peak marketing figure you get from the car going top speed. I really really love the ground effects based aero though, very good concept I really want to see how it performs.


The project one will be more technologically advanced with the F1 engine, and it's immense efficiency, electrically driven turbo, F1 hybrid system etc. It also has active aero, ride height, multiple engine modes to simulate the F1 experience etc. Pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure the people who can afford this will never track it.

Probably can't have the pics in his 18 due to the weight. my friend even a few grams matter to RB's quest to lose weight.

Jol Palmer says Ferrari should never have pulled Leclerc from the lead, Checo pitted then punched in fast time when Norris boxed, they pulled Leclerc in too quickly as a reaction to Checo and third error was stacking behind Sainz.

Anyone find it funny how the AMG ONE gets released real quick as soon as Mercedes realizes that their reputation in F1 is gone?

Can't sell "F1 car for the road" if all you make is midfield porpoise shitboxes.

I've just had a look at it for the first time and got to say it doesn't look bad.

It's a sweet ass car from every engineering point of view but listening to it accelerate disgusts me. My M4CS sounded better and I couldn't stand the noise it made.

Hearing is one of the primary senses that is important to me for an amazing driving experience. It's why I will always love Ferrari - they understand this and it's one of their major design focuses for every single car. The SF90 has no right to sound as good as it does but it has to... it's a Ferrari.

No matter what one-off impressive car these manufacturers make, they'll always take a backseat to companies like Ferrari as a whole.

Only 275 to be made and all sold to the chosen few each at £2.2 M,no doubt one or two will be rolling around in Monaco. The 1000bhp V6 hybrid for me is enough but as you say no one touches Ferrari road car for sound and presence and there's a Red Bull hyper car coming soon.

I always thought RB pulled Checo in early to send Ferrari into panic mode. It worked

Binotto's hair stood on end when Checo was suddenly called in a few yards from the pit lane and Max came in next lap so there was no need for Lec to be brought in even when Max came in but as a Max RB fan (and Checo) I can only reap the sows of victory for RB but don't like seing scenes like Lec agonising voiciferously being pincered by his own team through misinformation.
