    Merv commented on the post, Second reprimand puts Webber at risk of penalty 1 week, 3 days ago

    The 6th reprimand would incur the 2nd grid penalty, the 9th reprimand would incur the 3rd grid penalty, ad infinitum.

    Merv commented on the post, Boullier criticises Pirelli tyre tweaks 1 month ago

    Paul Hembrey explained the delimitation issue last weekend and it’s not due to the compound.
    It’s because they made the supporting structure stronger “less penetrable” so debris damages the tyre and the tread […]

    Merv commented on the post, Vote for your 2013 Spanish GP driver of the weekend 1 month ago

    I’m a big Kimi fan, but voted Alonso.
    Alonso just looked that little bit more racey yesterday and it never felt that Kimi would get the job done, it took him too long to overtake Hamilton and lets face it, Button […]

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

    Really? Pedestrian? You can honestly perceive the difference in pace watching on TV?

    Alonso’s total race time yesterday was a little over 7 seconds slower than Maldanado’s winning race time from 2012. Of […]

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

    Yes it worked for them, 1st and 3rd split only by awesome Kimi.

    Alonso, or any other driver can pick up a puncture on any strategy, it’s a result of driving over a sharp object, not a result of what the tyre […]

    Merv commented on the post, Puncture and flag investigation no problem for Alonso 1 month ago

    It doesn’t matter what your personal opinion is, a rule is a rule and should be adhered to.

    It’d be easy for any “home country” marshall to conceal some heavy object in a flag to be left in the car […]

    I bet they are strapped for cash. In the current climate I expect every team other than Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes are living hand to mouth at the moment.

    They’re operated by the same person that would raise the lollypop a couple of years ago.
    It can’t be automatic because he has to check that all tyres have been successfully swapped (indicated to him by the gun […]

    Merv commented on the post, Ferrari poised to attack Vettel but Alonso has an eye on Raikkonen 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    I think Kimi will make up a lot of ground in the run down to T1 and they’ll run the race from there.
    If Sutil is still ahead of Kimi I don’t see that as a problem, Sutil was quickest in Q1 and is fast down the […]

    When Sky interviewed FI they said everybody lost radar, so they made the same mistake with PDR.

    A lot of my prediction copies last weeks result, feels wrong but then I can’t see a whole lot changing in such a short time.

    Of course the weather effect could totally mess things up for me.

    Merv commented on the post, Lotus, Red Bull and Ferrari covered by a tenth 2 months, 4 weeks ago

    yeah I just said “interesting”.

    I understand the tradeoff between downforce and drag, I also understand the inverse square law.

    Of course if the Lotus lap times were not competitive and/or their tyres were […]

    Merv commented on the post, Lotus, Red Bull & Ferrari covered by a tenth of a second 2 months, 4 weeks ago

    I’m never a fan of adding up individual sectors from different laps to make up a lap time, especially when the car may have been into the garage for a setup change.

    Interesting to see how quick the Renault […]
