    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Boullier criticises Pirelli tyre tweaks 3 days, 11 hours ago

    Couldn’t agree more with what Boulier has said here. You either develop a car to work within the regs and succeed, or you don’t and fail.
    Yes four pit stops is too many, but Barcelona is notoriously tough on […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Four-stop races “is too much”, says Horner 1 week ago

    Horner is starting to sound a lot like di Montezemolo at Ferrari; for Red Bull it’s the tyres, for Ferrari it’s testing. At the end of the day the Red Bull isn’t faster than the other cars if it can only do this […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Lotus confirm Allison to be replaced by Chester 1 week, 3 days ago

    @optimaximal @vettel1 – Can’t say I agree to be honest.
    2009 – Mclaren missed the double diffuser and the car as a whole was pretty awful – took them half a season to correct it and add in the DD.
    2010 – […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Lotus confirm Allison to be replaced by Chester 1 week, 4 days ago

    Hmmmm, this has Mclaren written all over it.

    Alison has overseen the production of cars that are strong in the exact areas Mclaren have been weak over the last few years – aero and tyre management.

    JA is […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Button and Massa say current tyres are good for F1 1 month ago

    Totally agree @fer-no65 DRS should be seen as a solution to the lack of overtaking on specific circuits, not an all encompassing measure at every track. There are some tracks like China, Brazil, Spa etc where […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, First front row start since his comeback makes Raikkonen a strong contender for victory 1 month ago

    Is there any news on the blocking/impeding that Sutil was complaining about in Q1? There’s been no mention of it so far, so I can only presume it wasn’t that serious.

    Also worth noting is that Mercedes brought […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, First trailer for Ron Howard’s 1976 F1 film Rush 1 month, 1 week ago

    Why does it look awful? From what I can see it looks good, and Hemsworth and Bruhl look pretty convincing in their respective roles.
    Rush is and always was going to be Hollywood, it’s a movie, not a documentary. […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Too early for team orders, says Boullier 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    Hmmmmm, these are pretty sensible comments from EB, particularly about it being too early in the season for team orders. But I’m not sure exactly where his Lotus team fit into this scenario.
    The drivers seem to […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, How four classic F1 liveries might look on today’s cars 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    Great feature! The Leyton House is definitely one of my favourite liveries. I wish some of the modern F1 teams would take a few more risks with their designs these days; obviously they have to consider branding […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Alonso and Hamilton ‘would have done the same as Vettel’ – Horner 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    I’m not surprised this has caused so much of a fuss, but I am disappointed it has.

    What would Ayrton Senna have done in Vettel’s position? If he had the chance to win a race, my personal opinion is that he […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Vote for your Malaysian GP driver of the weekend 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    Yep I thought exactly the same. With all the drama team orders at the sharp end, I think it’s got to be Bianchi. He’s two races in and already people are starting to say he’s out peforming the car.
    If he carries […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    Agree with the sentiment, but I put this race up at 9/10. There was some fantastic racing today, people seem to be skipping over that.
    The Vet vs Web battle was fascinating, and is hugely controversial. I know […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, McLaren “looking everywhere” for performance 1 month, 4 weeks ago

    @fer-no65 It’s not just the front suspension, but they’re definitely struggling with that I’ve read elsewhere the airflow is separating/stalling on the back of the car. Sam Michael said recently in an interview […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Raikkonen: Australian GP win was “not too difficult” 2 months ago

    It’s because here he’s clearly stating fact. He doesn’t stretch the credibility of what he’s saying, which is what sometimes pushes a confident comment into arrogance.

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Maldonado: Aero upgrade a clear improvement 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    The rear bodywork on the FW35 is just incredible. It sounds like the RBR ramp exhaust might have unlocked even more performance from such a minimal coke bottle area.

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Teams have trouble getting useful data from testing 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    No chance, it would be a complete waist of everyone’s time.

    What they really need is a test in the Middle East where the temperatures will stick consistently in the low 20′s. That would be a dream for Ferrari, […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Hamilton: Mercedes aren’t in a position to win yet 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    Just throwing my 2 pence in here; how about DRS only being used at the tracks where we need it most? It’s totally unnecessary in Canada for example as the layout encourages overtaking. The FIA ‘tailor’ DRS zones […]

    Really tough choice, but as a top 3 I went for:
    1. Mclaren
    2. Sauber
    3. Ferrari

    Terrible news about DC’s sister, thoughts go out to him and the family.

    Strong words from Whitmarsh, although I agree with him to an extent. There are huge question marks over Pic, Gutierrez, Razia and Chilton. […]

    Bleeps_and_Tweaks commented on the post, Newey expects most teams to have ‘evolutionary’ cars 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    Having heard the comments of Ross Brawn and now Newey on the passive DRS, I think the actual gain people are likely to get out of it is negligible. It certainly sounds like a part that only the big teams with a […]
