    Keith Collantine commented on the post, Ferrari has “run out of patience” with F1 rules 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    @davea86

    If you reduce testing then they’ll obviously spend less money on testing but they won’t just leave the money they saved in the bank

    I think this is the point where we need some actual data instead […]

    Keith Collantine commented on the post, Ferrari has “run out of patience” with F1 rules 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    @davea86

    But does the lack of testing really save money?

    If it didn’t the anti-testing lobby would have a ready-made line of attack but I don’t think even Montezemolo is trying to make that claim.

    @davea86 Thanks for the clarification. I generally agree.

    Still find it strange that they chose not to protest after the race, but ask the FIA’s position later in a letter. Probably they hesitated whether to […]

    @davea86

    Do you know if those penalties were in place of a drive through penalty or if there’s a separate rule for speeding behind the safety car?

    I believe it was an entirely separate rule. It may have also […]

    @davea86 the last I remember was a bunch of 5s penalties given at Valencia 2010.

    @prisoner-monkeys I put the question to another forum – the reply I got was that Maldonado lost it at turn 3 and crashed into the […]

    raymondu999 commented on the post, Vettel can equal Schumacher’s title tally – Theissen 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    @davea86 he did – though I was still puzzled at what on earth he was doing, having a run at Vettel into Turn 1 and at the restart. I wouldn’t be very happy if I was a team boss.

    Maybe Horner told them they were […]

    @davea86 – Ferrari made a great recovery, no doubt about it. What I was saying is that had this situation been mirrored last year they probably would’ve been nowhere compared to Red Bull & McLaren. I agree […]

    Robbie commented on the post, Montezemolo wants ‘a winning car from round one’ 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Yeah, good points there too @davea86 For sure a competitive season can mean you are more easily within a shout of the leader, and Ferrari’s car was reliable, wasn’t it. A couple of strong facts in FA’s favour for next year.

    @aledinho

    It’s a pointless exercise because these things have happened

    @davea86

    It’s an interesting hypothetical but it also points out that there’s way too many variables

    I know it may be a pointless […]

    @davea86

    Why else would they deliberately pit him into the middle of a pack of cars that were fighting for position?

    This question always gets asked when there’s a new tyre compounds article. Here’s the answer:

    @davea86, mulling this over reminded me of the infamous Maldonado/Hamilton incident although in that incident , PM only had his front wing alongside LH.

    The way the rule is being interpreted it seems to me that […]

    @davea86

    I hadn’t heard about the feud with the engineers before although going off some of his radio messages during races it doesn’t sound unbelievable.

    It’s the first I’ve heard of it, too, but it seems to be […]

    @davea86 The rule clarification from last winter is pretty simple. If you pull off-line to defend a position and then return to the racing line before the corner, you must leave room for the other car. That […]
