But has Honda really left F1? To this day they still help Red Bull build their engines.

Guess Honda forgot when Alonso called their engines not even suitable for F2
I think they are just technical consultants. I believe Red Bull is building then engines now and Honda gives the technical guidance.

Martin Brundle just referred to Zhou Guanyu as a "Chinaman" that's racist, he should suffer repercussions/suspended/fired from Sky Sports. To the chinese it's just as bad as the N word, very derogatory.

Thought he was calling Yuki and Chinamen. He is Japanese. Either way he needs to issue an apology. Totally cocked that one up

don’t think he should be fired over it though

What he meant was "Man from China."

Mercedes P2 and P3. Sergio Perez could not overtake them. Progress.
Bet Hammy will now sign a contract extension since Mercedes is back on the right track, copying the RB design and Ferrari to some degree

F1 is so boring. They need a cap for spending money so other teams can compete, There is only 2 that competes. Pit stops are a joke like 10 men over the wall, needs to cut down on that too. Sorry just my take

There is already a budget cap in place..to design and build the chassis and pay for travel etc

engine and drivers pay is not part of the budget cap

I don’t have issue with fast pit stops. All teams play by same rules. No reason to copy Nascar rules.

What they need are tires that will not go the distance, forcing teams to stop twice, tires the drivers can lean on hard while they have life. I see no reason to have 3 compounds per race. Force them to use the fuel instead of always being in conservation mode. After the opening laps all teams flip to tire and fuel conservation mode which sucks, this is what they need to change and drop the DRS passes.

That would be interesting, Max would no doubt find a way to push those tires and avoid stops somehow. lol
