When you need to write an article on aspect of the sport that Australian’s don’t partake in, it’s pretty clear that you do indeed hate the game.
What a dive: why this league fan just cannot commit full-time to soccer
As a referee, just on that last point, I would assume that should always be at least given a foul if the attacker had the ball in playing distance.
I mean, if the ball isn’t in playing distance, then we are looking at violent conduct, rather than a reckless challenge or serious foul play.
Why are goalkeepers allowed to make dangerous challenges?
So just use the virtual safety car for everything?
The race was red flagged and needed some way to be restarted. The pit lane isn’t the length of the whole track, and they can’t form everything back to exactly the way it was once the cars are in the pit lane, can they?
I do get what you mean re: safety car being there for safety, and that’s the difference between a VSC and a full safety car period. Generally, a full safety car period is used when the marshalls need a bigger gap between to clean up debris, and in that instance, again they can’t make everyone re-form to the gaps they were before the safety car because it’s impractical and will take so long to do
F1 must do away with its unfair unlapping rules
Before I go and do the research, why is it only an issue if front runners benefit from these loopholes? It should be an issue if anyone does, which is what proves my point.
Anyone that has been able to unlap themselves under a safety car/red flag and gotten points by this method should be stripped of their points based of this argument.
F1 must do away with its unfair unlapping rules
The reason why it makes sense to do so on a red flag is because now red flagged race restarts are held with a standing start when it is safe to do so (which is why it was a rolling restart, however all other race procedures remain the same, which is why Kimi got his post-race penalty). If, let’s say Giovanazzi is the first lapped driver on the grid, and he does one of his patented starts, he is then going to have to immediately hand the place back to blue flags.
F1 must do away with its unfair unlapping rules
Look, even as someone who used to openly hate on Lewis, I find it very funny that as soon as this rule which has been in place for about a thousand years, is now being questioned because Lewis is the one who benefitted from it.
It’s the way things work, and it’s the easiest way to do it with timing systems. Get over it.

Sorry, but how are they going nowhere?
I love a McLaren bashing as much as any Ferrari fan, but I don’t really see that they’re going nowhere
Welcome back to the grid Fernando!
No worries, it’s always good to see some historical continuity in the category.
I’ll be posting the other parts over the coming weeks

I just remembered another site
Overtakefans.com has all races from 1981
A motorsport lover's guide to surviving isolation
There’s a bug on the iOS app that doesn’t run commentary, so it’s just the race with no commentary. It works on the computer though.
A motorsport lover's guide to surviving isolation
I will once they fix commentary on the iPhone app. Reminds me of the days I used to come home from school, fish out old races my brother had taped through the 90s, and dig into a bowl of Coco Pops
Although fact update I had wrong. The 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix was the 700th GP. The 2008 Singapore GP was the 800th. Somehow, milestone races tend to be exciting, something I learnt on my research. Sucks the 1000th GP wasn’t though

$5 per month, or $42 per year
Something along those lines.
Every race since 1981 has at least a 10-15 minute highlight package

I felt that way live, but then watched a replay and then noticed it was the 900th GP and it sort of put it on my radar
800th GP is a real rip snorter though. Brazil 2003.
There’s a few people who are uploading full BBC / ITV broadcasts of 90s and 00’s races on YouTube and DailyMotion though, worth a look
A motorsport lover's guide to surviving isolation
I have seen NASCAR (highest rated esports even ever), IMSA, I think I heard IndyCar. Plus, F1 with the mix of current, former, and reserve drivers plus a few celebs and online racers.
And the Supercars that Jawad mentioned too
A motorsport lover's guide to surviving isolation
Combo of F1TV and YouTube is great.
I’m trying to put together a list of the 100 definitive world championship GPs, A: since I haven’t contributed in a while and B: I never celebrated the 1000th GP. (plus a couple bonus since we are now 17 more)
I’ve gotten to around 200, so I don’t know how to halve that haha

He only likes it, because he was trained to kick a ball in the NFL.
This is like Barry Hall not knowing what boxing is, and then deciding to be a boxer. Oh wait
When Pat McAfee busted a huge AFL myth
Can the captain not challenge that?
Did this kick from Valentine Holmes actually go through the posts?
Exactly. Even WWE is holding WrestleMania in their training arena
A-League set to unveil revamped East Coast-only draw
Not if no one can attend them. State of Origin would be a big miss without a crowd. Thankfully that’s still a while away.
But there is more important things for governments at the moment than whether sport can go ahead. The only thing I’d even remotely think about government handouts for on anything sporting, is people involved would actually lose their job/an income over it being stopped
'Scaremongering at its absolute best': Veteran AFL journo takes aim at ARLC Chairman
Eh depends. I have taken 2 weeks off work, mainly to protect my wife who was in hospital and the ICU the last two times she got the flu, and because she has the ability to work from home (I don’t)
Sport would be good to watch for me, but there is plenty of other things to do than sport on TV
What’s more important: Public health or footy?
Probably when there is a significant drop in cases. Like back to when it first started
When life’s great distractor can no longer distract
Mate, that’s never coming, the ACT government hates football even more than the QLD government. It was supposed to be finished 6 months ago when first announced, and it hasn’t even broke ground yet.
