    Claidheamh commented on the post, Caterham ‘should be beating Marussia’ – Kovalainen 2 weeks, 4 days ago

    I agree with the comment of the day. The DRS rules are too complex for such a simple goal: having a car being able to closely follow another. But I think they can be revised to a point where they can be effective. […]

    Claidheamh commented on the post, DRS and tyres: Has F1 got the balance right? 2 weeks, 6 days ago

    I’m all for the improved efficiency of the cars from DRS, it always made little sense to me that such high-tech cars would be so wasteful of energy at higher speeds, where they don’t really need the extra […]

    Is this certain? It may also be an engine mode or something like that.

    Claidheamh commented on the post, Hamilton: Mercedes aren’t in a position to win yet 2 months, 4 weeks ago

    No, not every opportunity. Only at the exact same place on the following laps and only if DRS didn’t provide the overtaking driver with a much bigger advantage, which is frequent.

    Claidheamh commented on the post, Hamilton: Mercedes aren’t in a position to win yet 2 months, 4 weeks ago

    One good thing to try with DRS, without changing much of its current philosophy, would be having it enabled for activation whenever you are inside, say, 100 meters (maybe have this distance be the parameter to […]

    Claidheamh commented on the post, Hamilton: Mercedes aren’t in a position to win yet 2 months, 4 weeks ago

    People tend to polarise and forget there’s something between the extremes. There are more alternatives than just no DRS or the current DRS. The fact that I don’t like DRS the way it is at the moment doesn’t mean […]

    Claidheamh replied to the forum topic 2012 F1 season review: Best moments of the year in the group Group logoF1 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Kobayashi’s podium at Suzuka was an amazing moment with which to end a relatively dull race. The chants of ”Kamui” before he came out sent shivers down my spine.

    Yes, one should always check the talk pages.

    Well, you can always correct it, @lustigson.

    I really dislike those cameras. I think the current F1 setup of a front-facing camera and a rear-facing one works better.

    Claidheamh commented on the post, Lotus plan fix for loss of straight-line speed 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    Indeed. They call it DRD (drag reduction device), which, while still being confusingly similarly named, it is still a different name. The reason they haven’t raced it yet is because it is extremely hard to set up […]

    This is so very frustrating. It’s not even a good tennis match. No other channels to watch it on?

    It’s a reference to The Godfather, of course.

    If Kimi was a car length behind, he wouldn’t have touched Alonso’s Ferrari.

    When people say that, they mean regular road cars, that you and me would drive every day. There are some differences between those and Ferraris. :P

    But F1 shouldn’t be about developing technologies relevant to […]

    In terms of head protection, Jack Brabham’s solution looks like a very elegant one: http://i51.tinypic.com/wl7p86.png

    I think I’d get used to something like that quickly.
