    I’m curious, what was Hamilton’s salary in 2007 when he debuted with McLaren? Especially compared with Alonso.

    DavidS commented on the post, Why do F1 cars keep running out of fuel? 3 weeks, 2 days ago

    I disagree, fuel consumption is one of the most important technical issues of the sport.
    If minimum fuel loads were introduced to increase the “show” I think it will come at the cost of technical innovation, […]

    DavidS commented on the post, Why do F1 cars keep running out of fuel? 3 weeks, 2 days ago

    Interestingly, the official F1 website ran an article about fuel systems

    http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2013/4/14512.html

    I went there to look up a technical regulation and saw that.

    DavidS commented on the post, Why do F1 cars keep running out of fuel? 3 weeks, 2 days ago

    Since the engine has electronic fuel injection, they would have data on how much fuel is actually being injected into the engine. Injectors have to be very precise, because they have to achieve a specific […]

    That looks awesome.
    I love Pikes Peak, it’s the Spinal Tap of race car engineering…everything goes to 11.

    One of my favourite videos of a Pikes Peak car is Rod Millen doing a run at Goodwood, it shows just […]

    DavidS commented on the post, Webber “unlikely” to beat Barrichello’s starts record 4 weeks, 1 day ago

    This was always going to be the case.
    Webber was comparatively late into Formula One, starting his first race at 25.

    Not really news.

    What about Hyundai?
    They are doing quite well at the moment, and entering F1 may help them shake the perception of being cheap, boring cars.

    DavidS replied to the forum topic New F1 Teams in the group Group logoF1 1 month ago

    Customer cars would take a few years as a minimum to implement.
    Firstly, the politics would have to be sorted out, which would take quite a long time.
    Secondly, the teams that will be supplying the cars will […]

    70s – Jones, but also Stewart
    80s – Jones, Mansell
    90s – I did actually back Hill, and after his retirement, the McLaren drivers (I remember the news story about McLaren launching […]

    None.
    It’s not enough time for a team to be established.

    DavidS commented on the post, Webber sent to the back of the grid over fuel error 1 month, 1 week ago

    If RBR intentionally underfuelled Webber’s car to sabotage his race, why did they do it in Q2, and not Q3?
    Surely, making him burn up an extra set of tyres which could be used in the race, and then having him run […]

    DavidS commented on the post, Rush gets nod of approval from Ferrari 1 month, 1 week ago

    It’s a trailer.

    They distill the drama into the trailer because they want to capture the audiences attention. It doesn’t reflect how the movie will turn out.

    I was going to post the trailer to Apollo 13, but watched the Queen one, and it was much worse.

    Proof reading fail.

    DavidS commented on the post, First trailer for Ron Howard’s 1976 F1 film Rush 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    Just as the old saying is “Never judge a book by it’s cover”
    The same thing applies to film trailers. The trailer is often developed by the studio’s own department, not the Director/DP, so any critique of […]

    @JB
    First of all, fuel is measured in kilograms in F1, because it’s density changes with temperature, so litres would be innacurate. Secondly, lbs is an imperial unit, SI (international system) is used in […]

    The black wing thing is another camera, it’s just a slightly lower angle, similar to old school on board cameras from the 80s and 90s.

    The E is an external trigger for the fire extinguisher, it’s required by […]
