bad timing at the last 2 races for his qualifying run

– just to be clear, I meant in the last 2 races in Monaco,

Hm, @William-Brierty, in the COTD you mention

So only a bad start or the undercut will allow another car past a Mercedes, but this is Ross Brawn we’re talking about, and not the clowns that invited the undercut on […]

No, its obligatory to be in the press conferences staged by the FIA, not sure what penalties are given (i guess reprimands and hefty fines) @wsrgo

Happy Birthday @theseeker

I see your La Ferrari avatar @kingshark, as well as Omar, but Max is without Avatar for me so far.

Any news on the weather? I read somewhere that its not completely unrealistic that we have a bit of rain during the Saturday, which might throw a spanner in the works for Mercedes.

Oh, and if Mercedes do […]

The trouble with that is, that with a lack of Concorde Agreement, Bernie does not have much to say, but the teams neither, as its the FIA’s right to define the rules of the competition without having to consult […]

Seems STR are going to announce their change to Renault engines this weekend (reports from Bild)

I am pretty sure its not just Frank Williams opposing customer chassis really. I would be surprised if many others apart from Ferrari, Red Bull (including STR) were big fans.

After all, why have the likes of […]

I would guess that the difference is from non championship races won @wsrgo, because while its always a bit murky with races done due to counting things like weekends participated, qualified, started, started in […]

ehm, this is getting embarresing, maybe its my new keyboard then.

Anyway, have a great birthday @ned-flanders!

repeat offender there, lets finally get this right! ned-flanders

Ha, Flanders fluked (by me that is) there, have a great day @ned_flanders

Happy birthday to all of you guys @ned_flander, Rui Pinto and to @Thed4N1El

No, its a special made, extra hard demonstration compound (the idea is that a team learns as little as possible by using it for these runs)

The sooner Pirelli leave the sport the better in my opinion. – tell me, would you like the F1 teams to then have to buy their tyres in their local shop, or would we all start hoping someone has thought about what […]

In the past it was often the supplier paying for the tyres (that was one of the things Bridgestone mentioned being the reason of not wanting to continue), but nowadays the teams do pay Pirelli for the tyres.

They haven’t even been able to ask Pirelli to continue so far, possibly for lack of the Concorde Agreement @timothykatz!

I did read that Pirelli do already have contracts with the likes of Red Bull, Ferrari and […]

Not all that sure I would like that kind of racing, but on the other hand, it would certainly be good if they could have such an option, go for it and either fail (still to slow, crash, pit stop errors, or just […]
