Stroll has his work cut out for him. A big improvement is needed next year. It remains to be seen if he can deliver on the flashes of promise his had this year. He’s looked downright awful otherwise.

I actually like F1's foray into the retro 80s craze, though it does mean the retro 80s craze is probably on its last legs, which is sad but inevitable.

Retro 90s craze will be terrible.

The retro 80s craze has been going on for 20+ years at this point.

The logo is fine. It looks like “F1” to me and is pretty straightforward. F1s logos have always been mediocre at best - perhaps they should have emulated the Americans sooner because the NASCAR logo (to use an example) kicks rear end.

I’ve been seeing the new logo in my Twitter feed a lot today and I can confirm that it’s good.

I appreciate it more and more. Just for fun, lets look at the classic F1 logo from THE NINTIES.

This is objectively excellent. The peak of good logo design, and I'm not just saying that as a child of the 90s.

It blows. You may be confusing it with this (well designed logo, by North Americans).

I couldn't find a standalone logo but the JF3000 one was also good. Perhaps the real lesson here is that you should not let Europeans design your series logo - as they are too busy soliciting minors for sex.

Having a lovely driver funding the team is only worthwhile if you have another driver who has the skills to turn that money into success on the track. This could all work out if Kubica still has those skills, but if he's just another post-accident shadow of his former self like Massa they've got to be really careful about their future plans

Agreed.

The problem with DTM is that it's a poor mans SuperGT, the cars aren't as exiting and I'd say the same for the tracks. Plus the lack of Anime cars is a real put off, it's just a shame that SuperGT is always on at like 5am in Europe so I always miss the streams.

Super GT working so well and DTM being poor is perplexing. I guess Super GT has a good balance of performance system.


Also Motegi, Okayama and the Thai circuit are poor.

Honda should bulldoze Motegi and start again. I don't think the oval was ever repaired and the road course stinks.


Let it be known that Honda built this facility for loving CART of all things, a series which nobody remembers.

It's not any different engine wise but Sauber goes from having $0, 2016 Ferrari engine, and bad pay driver+mediocre DTM champion to the Ferrari Jr. team with a healthy budget.
