    Max Jacobson commented on the post, Pirelli to make hard tyre more durable 4 weeks ago

    @armchairexpert – well the last two examples had very little to do with tyre degredation. In Abu Dhabi, the race was great predominantly for Vettel’s recovery drive and all the action involved in that, plus […]

    HoHum commented on the post, Pirelli to make hard tyre more durable 4 weeks, 1 day ago

    @lifew12, I guess you mean that RBR are best at tyre management and they should be penalized for this, @armchairexpert, for all the talk about the tyres being the same for every one, yahda yahda yahda, they really […]

    Sri Harsha commented on the post, Hamilton: Soft tyre “not right for this circuit” 1 month, 1 week ago

    @armchairexpert
    In that sense the Current Soft tires are a Step Higher than 2011 Super Softs . Pirelli said the 3 Stops for all the races is their Target but Teams Running out of tires due to the High Softness. […]

    Prisoner Monkeys commented on the post, Di Resta feels “robbed of seventh place” 2 months, 1 week ago

    @armchairexpert – Personally, I think Paul di Resta is far too concerned with the future than he is with the present. He always goes out of his way to explain how his poor results weren’t really his fault, and I […]

    Keith Collantine commented on the post, Gonzalez to get practice sessions runs with Marussia 2 months, 1 week ago

    @armchairexpert Particularly when they’ve got two rookie drivers in the car to begin with who need all the seat time they can get.

    HoHum commented on the post, Whitmarsh expects tougher tyre challenge in 2013 2 months, 1 week ago

    @armchairexpert, it is depressing, I agree, but try to hang in there, Bernie can’t live forever, after he is gone maybe the teams can wrest control back from the Vampires sucking the lifeblood out of it.

    Max Jacobson commented on the post, Bianchi takes Razia’s place at Marussia for 2013 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    @armchairexpert – I wouldn’t go as far to suggest as what is suggested in that article (and apparently Vettel “clicked” one day in Valencia 2008 and found speed) but yes, definitely he has much more promise than Razia!

    Well said @armchairexpert.

    @armchairexpert Good point. Any such deal would probably have been finalized in that meeting in London.

    (@armchairexpert) Beautifully said sir.

    (@mnmracer) Because of the last three years.

    HoHum commented on the post, Pirelli aims for faster laps and more pit stops in 2013 4 months ago

    @armchairexpert, I am in total agreement with you, pit stop competition has absolutely nothing to do with a fast car or a fast driver, Speed TV even had a show where pit crew (nascar) staged pit stops against the […]

    @ArmchairExpert Thanks for that – I’d seen it on the live timing which must not have taken the fact he cut the track into account.

    montreal95 commented on the post, Kobayashi says he won’t be in F1 in 2013 5 months, 1 week ago

    @armchairexpert Care to elaborate how did he “screw himself” with his driving? I think his driving was pretty great and consistent over the 3 years and on par with the Mclaren bound Perez this year

    HoHum commented on the post, Haug to step down at Mercedes 5 months, 1 week ago

    @armchairexpert, part 1 is silly but part 2 is worth consideration, 1st. Parr and then Haug. Or 1st. round R.Dennis, 2nd. round Parr and Haug, who’s next?

    Part 2. I will be sad to see Haug go, genial, informed, […]

    Sorry, my first sentence sounded contradictory to the fuel change, it is as @armchairexpert has said @pjtierney .

    @armchairexpert Nothing laughable about backtracking on the ground effect. Collisions can turn very bad, very very quickly with ground effects in the regs. We’ve seen enough cars travelling through the air this […]

    @armchairexpert The Pic/Massa comparison is a very interesting one. In my defence, there are only two places between them!

    It’s partly a question of consistency, though. Would I have expected Pic to have got as […]
