then scrap the super-license. Dave124 (@dave124) 9th February 2020, 10:44. I won’t even elaborate on how pernicious was to strip away the free testing. After the tragic events in F2 this year, surely that’s where your focus should be on making sure every driver is safe enough? 1601214126 Before this, for anyone who wasn’t clearly hired only for their money, there was legitimate doubt as to how well things would go. F1, Bottas wins Russian GP after Hamilton penalty 1600992000 The lower finishers of these series should be rewarded less to avoid F1 eligibility for being mediocre at F2 for something like 6 years. Since junior formulas experience aren’t guarantee of anything, I’d point out that conditioning was perfectly achieved by the ostracized unlimited testing. The rules theory test that is currently required for rookies would be incorporated into this day, followed by a little practice (30 minutes), a short qualifying session (perhaps 20 minutes, split into 2 parts) and a full-length race. Team want a driver, fine. If you look carefully, you can see that Verstappen hit that barrier with enough force that the armco barrier deformed far enough to strike the platform on which they were standing, although fortunately it was with relatively limited force. Junior formulas are expendable on that regard. It’s crazy that almost every championship up there has a distinct SL point scoring system. Poor Max was the reason for the points and is just the reason why it should never have existed. 1 and 2 together is achievable by a more top-heavy exponentially growing points system. The most dangerous thing we’ve seen since his arrival is Hulkenberg’s incident at Spa in 2018, followed by Fernando’s crash in Australia, followed by Seb driving into Lewis, Marcus flipping over in Monza etc etc. The all-female Giti Tire Motorsport by WS Racing will take on the infamous Nordschleife in the Nurburgring 24 Hours, in which tyre management will be key. FIA does this to promote their own ladder. That’s the best way to put them under pressure, and identify dirty/poor drivers (poor, in terms of driving standards, not speed). © 2020 Collantine Media Ltd | About RaceFans. Reward the national series a bit less, maybe with an exception for true motorsport nations with strong national championships, like DTM or British TC. People seem to largely overlook the welfare of the marshals, but incidents like that certainly presented a risk to their lives. That’s the team’s problem/gamble. Drivers hoping to earn an F1 superlicence must have earned at least 40 points over a three-year period. F1, Wolff "agreed to disagree" with stewards over penalties I think that the system is not really necessary, it seems like rules for the sake of having more rules.
