The imbalance of power
So, after an obscure accommodation is reached with Ferrari to, shall we say, rein in their power unit ambitions, all Ferrari-powered teams subsequently drop down the Formula 1 grid.
Now, out of the blue, engine qualifying modes are on notice, where Mercedes and their customers seem to have an advantage. Does anyone remember a move against such modes in 2019?
If I were Mercedes, I might not be rushing to sign the Concorde agreement, with such random variables in the landscape.

But of course I am none of the above. I am just a fan and I know nothing…

One rule for them…
In Formula E the introduction of an attack mode (right) was lauded as a great innovation and is now seen to be key part of the racing action: in Formula 1 such modes are to be banned. Might the FIA offer an explanation for this contradiction?

Schumacher Jr is over-hyped
I can’t believe that Mick Schumacher didn’t get a penalty for taking out Robert Shwartzman in the Formula 2 sprint race at Silverstone in a move that would not have gone unpunished for anyone else.
In my mind there seems to be a campaign to get him into F1 at any cost because of his name, so letting him get away with this type of driving moves him closer to a superlicence. This ‘chip off the old block’ mentality is also rife among commentators who keep on over-praising him (Alex Jacques and Johnny Herbert in particular) when he appears somewhat average and lacking in racecraft.

Make F1 team masks available to all
Would it not be a fine gesture and in the public interest if the F1 teams offered ‘their’ face masks for sale to the general public at cost price post free?
I live in hope.
