The race will start behind the Mercedes-Benz Safety Car, it seems.

I heard tomorrow’s race will start under a Mercedes Safety car driven by Trulli.

The turbulent air effect is much greater.

We saw last year Schumacher couldn’t pass Raikkonen ever when lapping almost 5 seconds/lap quicker.

The tyres are a normal part of the car, just like the aerodynamics.

Teams compromise certain aspects of the car to improve others all the time, so why should this be any different.

That’s […]

Rosberg should definitely have been #2 IMO, he was at least second best behind Alonso this weekend. As for Massa and Raikkonen, I’d have them tied in 3rd.

Not nearly as laughable as using Grosjean as a benchmark.

I know, I’ve always enjoyed tyre competitions, and watching different tyres compete among each other.

I remember that a part of the reason to why the 2003 Brazilian GP was so great was because of how different […]

@omarr-pepper and @vettel1

Were Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, and Mika Hakkinen the benchmarks from 1996-2000 because they shared all the titles within this period of time.

No, because there was a certain […]

Kingshark commented on the post, Ferrari have Mercedes within range as Red Bull lurk 2 days, 10 hours ago

Rosberg only lost to Webber in his rookie season, when he was 20. Even then, the difference wasn’t so big. Only 4 points to 7. Nico has improved a lot over the years, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was as fast […]

@vettel1
Though Red Bull are leading both championships, let’s be honest, they’ve been very lucky. Alonso has finished every one of his three normal race he’s had at least 10 seconds ahead of Vettel. In Malaysia, […]

@vettel1

I’m sorry Alonso, but were you watching the same season as the rest of us last year? The only races where Red Bull “had it easy” were the three races in a row which Vettel won (I’m deliberately discounting […]

@william-brierty
How is Hamilton a specialist around Monaco?

2007 — Out-qualified and outraced by Alonso.
2008 — Hit the wall, very lucky with the pit-stop timing to win.
2009 — Crash in qualy and lost a […]

Don’t make me laugh. With that kind of pace and tire wear rate, you trying to play down Ferrari ‘s easiness on tire??? Look at onboard video, both massa and fernando drove superb aggressively and the tire managed […]
