Oh, and its nice to see that Maldonado seems on pace this weekend. No hitting any barriers, nor Perez either

Did Rosberg do that fastest lap of his during a long stint?

Rosberg seems to be really on a run, would be good if he can keep that up at least until the end of qualifying. Hamilton not quite on it.

And the Ferrari is right there on pace. Kimi took it a bit slow, not […]

Here is an article where German Motorsport-Total claims Pirelli already have some contracts done with several teams (Red Bull, STR, Ferrari are mentioned

That’s nonsense @georgetuk. Through Sky its possible to highlight the situation and try and influence the fans, and what the bosses see. Pirelli bosses are unlikely to be happy if they are seen to be providing bad […]

Yeah, these tyres certainly are not all that stable (but Pirelli already stated they will react to that). On the other hand, the tyres not deflating and being shredded to pieces makes it far less dangerous than a […]

Personally I think its more part of a power struggle and a bit of pushing for bigger / smaller changes dependant on what side of the spectrum teams are.
Red Bull and Mercedes certainly wanting a change, Lotus and […]

Good to see NBC is putting in some effort to make the coverage live up to promise!

Don’t forget that the numbers mentioned for teams like Andretti or Ganassi and Penske are for 3 car teams @fer-no65. It does compare the highest numbers from Ferrari and Red Bull to what these 3 IndyCar teams […]

I think your are right on that @robbie, one only has to look at others doing a better job to see its not the tyres that do not work at all, but Mercedes having gotten something wrong (but not as wrong as McLaren, […]

I agree that the only thing making it worse for me was the coverage, and the almost constant droning of Brundle about how the tyres were making it confusing.

By all accounts it was not a great race, but after […]

Historically, Hamilton is the driver that squeezes a larger percentage of the car’s raw potential than Rosberg, although this arguably hasn’t been the case for much of this year,

– exactly what I meant to say <a href='http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/william-brierty/&#039; […]

off course that should read “… try qualifying on the mediums softs …”

Thorough analyses @william-brierty!

I agree with you that its highly unlikely someone would try qualifying on the mediums, its more likely that they would not run in Q3 instead, or that one of the cars right […]

German AMuS report that Pirelli will only change the rear tyres, that means it will be a relatively small change to the tyres.

They have a lot of hotel rooms @tophercheese21, and in addition people stay on their boats as well. Naturally all Monaco inhabitants who do not want to be at the race rent out their apartment for paying guests, […]

Lets see William, I certainly would not say Rosberg is not that great in qualifying, although he certainly showed several times last year that his nerves got the better of him when he had a good shot at pole, his […]

bad timing at the last 2 races for his qualifying run

– just to be clear, I meant in the last 2 races in Monaco,

Hm, @William-Brierty, in the COTD you mention

So only a bad start or the undercut will allow another car past a Mercedes, but this is Ross Brawn we’re talking about, and not the clowns that invited the undercut on […]

No, its obligatory to be in the press conferences staged by the FIA, not sure what penalties are given (i guess reprimands and hefty fines) @wsrgo
