F1 Fanatic

@caci99 I think the question I pose is the very crux of the issue and is entirely the point. Mercedes simply wouldn’t have done this test, simply would not have ignored the in-season testing ban (they’re not […]

@caci99 – when you write

They might not have gathered data from the tires, but they might have gathered data from the car, they might have put different components to the car to test them

,

That would mean […]

You’ve read far too much into it: I’m sure @caci99 ‘s point was that team orders were imposed against who now is looking like more than a match for Hamilton, although in a joking sense!

The system is supposed to be for the last 12 months, so each month the points collected a year ago would be dropped @caci99, @prisoner-monkeys

@caci99 – I imagine that, after a certain amount of time, the points would be removed from a driver’s licence. Kind of like road licences; if you’re caught speeding, you lose demerit points from your licence. But […]

@caci99) +1.

@caci99 Whatever it is, something is brewing in the Red Bull team. As you point out, Vettel might be feeling he has lost his number one status. But on the other hand, Webber feels the exact opposite, saying that […]

Both were stuck behind Vettel @caci99, that was the reason Alons could catch up, and it was why it was a very good call to have him stop and get the undercut.

But Ferrari could safely have called Massa in the […]

@caci99 Fuel plays a big part in this as well as well as ever increasing grip on the track surface.

@caci99 I’m not so sure.

When was the last time Vettel was under pressure while leading? With a car this strong, I’ll be even harder. Even if Alonso had closed the gap in the end, and be right behind Vettel, […]

As far as I understand, no one is claiming they did not kill those fishermen. Just the italians arguging they were in their right to defend from assumed pirates here @caci99

@caci99 Thanks for the info.

@caci99 and tifoso: yah you are right. I just raise an idea of driver development skill, because in F1 I think a diver is not just the one who drives, but also involve in developing his car in some ways which I […]

@caci99

reliability

This I agree with – Alonso has certainly been better off in terms of reliability than Vettel.

@caci99 irrelevant. I said they won’t be better off without him, not that they will go to pot. It’s pretty hard to argue a team can be better without arguably the fastest driver on the grid then they would be with him.

@caci99 I think Red Bull are actually in a worse position than last year’s Monza race, when they had the best overall package. Despite the reduced importance of aerodynamics they won the race. This year they have […]

@caci99 Try it now.

@caci99 it’s a compliment. He exploited the opportunity.

@caci99 Where?

@caci99 When an engine isn’t a stressed part of the car then it sits in the chassis and isn’t performing any structural role. Current F1 cars have a stressed engine. The rear suspension and gearbox are connected […]
