    clay commented on the post, Vettel on pole as Bottas stars in Canada 1 week, 2 days ago

    I agree that the fastest car will end up in front, but isn’t that the idea of F1? If F1 was all about the drivers then why not have a spec chassis and engine, like GP2, so that every time it will be only down to […]

    That was meant to say pass fest. Damn predictive text…

    clay commented on the post, Vettel on pole as Bottas stars in Canada 1 week, 3 days ago

    I find the whole anti-drs argument based on the fact that Bottas will “drop like a rock” to be in totally far fetched. I mean won’t he have access to drs as well, to help him hunt down the guys in front of him? A […]

    clay commented on the post, Top Ten: Victims of the Wall of Champions 2 weeks, 1 day ago

    Despite the fact that it was not a fantastic circuit, although I quite like it, the fast chicane at Magny-Cours (I think it is called the Nurburgring chicane?) was pretty good. I recently watched one of my old […]

    clay commented on the post, BMW denies Ecclestone’s comeback claim 4 weeks ago

    So how would that be any different to Force India running McLaren rear ends? And I’m sure there was some sharing agreements between Caterham and a front runner (possibly Williams so forget the front runner […]

    clay commented on the post, Ecclestone tips BMW to follow Honda back to F1 4 weeks ago

    How about Red Bull then? I don’t necessarily agree that BMW are coming back, as another article makes clear, but if they were RBR would seem the logical choice. They have the best chassis’ in f1 at the moment, the […]

    clay commented on the post, Can Mercedes convert front row into victory? 1 month, 1 week ago

    Interesting to see that unlike most other races the Mercedes are relatively slow in a straight line. Think they might be taking a line out of the RBR play book and running high downforce? Could explain their pace […]

    clay commented on the post, Win still possible for Mercedes, says Hamilton 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    Disagree totally with COTD. Look at the racing at the moment compared to even 2010. Way more passing, more pit stops creating strategy options, tyres designed to degrade quickly to spice up the racing, these are […]

    clay commented on the post, Grosjean: Budget a priority for Lotus 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    As I’ve said previously had Vettel always been a strident opposer of team orders then I would have no problem with Vettel now being lauded for his actions. Fact is that at no point has Horner, Vettel-lover Marko […]

    clay commented on the post, Were Red Bull & Mercedes right to use team orders? 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    Teams generally only use team orders (certainly in the case of this weekend) to hold position after the final stops, in order not to stress the cars in the final part of the race. I get that. Especially when, as […]

    clay commented on the post, Red Bull and Mercedes not the only ones resorting to team orders 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    After a bit of thought, here’s my take on the whole team orders thing, especially with Vettel. If Vettel had come out after the race and said something like this, the whole situation would be very, very different: […]

    clay commented on the post, Webber: Vettel will be ‘protected’ in team orders row 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    Rubbish. Gilles Villeneuve is definitely no weakling yet what was the incident that led to him eventually being killed in the following race – Imola 1982, where Didier Pironi IGNORED TEAM ORDERS TO HOLD POSITION, […]

    clay commented on the post, Sutil tipped to claim final seat at Force India 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    The loosing control makes him unsuitable for F1 to me.

    As opposed to what Michael has done on track throughout his career? Adelaide ’94, Jerez ’97, Hungary 2010…

    Losing control when under pressure was a […]

    clay commented on the post, Sutil tipped to claim final seat at Force India 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    As an aussie the term ‘have a crack’ means to have a go at something, to be given an opportunity, at least it does down under.

    I laughed for a full ten minutes upon reading this…

    Good luck outrunning those […]

    clay commented on the post, Sutil to make F1 comeback with Force India 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    Sutil vs Fisi – who was quicker?
    Glock vs Trulli (Toyota 2009) – who was quicker?
    Now as a yardstick Fisi was an above average driver but that’s all. If you were going back to a driver with experience why pick […]

    clay commented on the post, Teams’ last chance to prepare in pre-season testing 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    Sutil has had his chance, and he has been slow when compared to anyone with talent. FI would be better off with the best driver they can get who might just bring them in more cash through better results – radical […]

    clay commented on the post, Barcelona test one in over 200 pictures 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    I’m really looking forward to this season, the last of the screaming NA engines. However, which car do we all think is the best looking this year? For me, livery-wise I love the new Caterham colours, but I’ve […]

    clay commented on the post, ‘Teams to blame’ for not getting F1 revenue share 4 months ago

    I think back to 2009 and the proposed breakaway series. Realistically if all the teams work together, as Whitmarsh suggests, but together set up a rival series where the income is evenly distributed and is enough […]
