·We met DC at a car do many many years ago, nice guy, had his granny as his minder, commentators the sports world over are the same, can’t see beyond of their nose for their favourite whatever the sport.

·From The Guardian:
‘Lewis Hamilton has admitted that were he only a fan of Formula One he would probably tune in just for highlights of races given the dominance he and Mercedes are demonstrating this season.
After a controlled victory at the Belgian GP, Hamilton’s fifth of the season and Mercedes’ sixth from seven races, the world champion believed the spectacle was lacking compared to when he watched Michael Schumacher’s domination as a teenager. However, he insisted it is up to the rule makers to improve the competition.’
by ‘rule makers’ he must mean Mercedes.
Surely a Sky Sports subscription is a small price to pay for not having to listen to David Coulthard?

·For those outside the UK, is George Russell the next big thing, or is it just more British bias?

·In the good old days Enzo used to put some 'special' fuel in the cars at Monza (allegedly), don't s'pose there's much chance of that this weekend!

·I’d like to think of it as “new management” and not entirely different. The MOST IMPORTANT thing is that the name and legacy of WILLIAMS RACING lives on. A historic feat with alot of memorable events that has led and shaped F1 to what is today! I’ve watched the documentary film WILLIAMS and as a car guy, I admire sir Frank Williams and I am truly inspired by this story 😎

·Apparently qualifying was wet in 2017 and of course 2008 Vettel won in a Toro Rosso

·It's ironic, Vettel won his first GP in a Toro Rosso at Monza, and now the TR's (Alpha Tauris) are battling with the Red Bulls for 3rd and fourth and Vettel is running at the back in a Ferrari - you couldn't make it up!

·So... according to this video 'teams must use one engine setting for qualifying/race, so that means no more 'turning the engine down' then. The drivers can drive 'slower' obviously, but they can't turn the engine to a lower setting. Interesting. Wonder how long before they start moaning about that?

··TAG Heuer Forums ModeratorA strange rule change mid season to slow Mercedes down but what makes no sense is that it affects all teams so no one can use "party mode" in qualifying?
The drivers will probably be allowed by their team to rev up the engine more in qualifying than in the race, being a more manual and “old-style” party mode

·Yes, it will probably slow down Mercedes in qualifying, but will make them even stronger for the race... so I don't expect big changes in how points are distributed on Sundays.

··TAG Heuer Forums ModeratorYes but slowing down Mercedes in qualifying will change nothing since the rule will slow down all teams?
