    Not to mention their cosy relationship with the Renault team

    Is that supposed to be a bad thing? If so I don’t see how its relevant to the topic.

    @dragoll Thanks, glad you liked it.

    I think changing the tyres because the number of pit stops had risen to four was a valid reason because it supported by two years’ worth of precedent. You may not agree with […]

    I’ve never found Dernie’s view – that aerodynamics are not impeding overtaking – particularly persuasive. Partly because it’s an aerodynamicist defending aerodynamics. Partly because we know aerodynamicists […]

    If it’s juicy enough, it will, they’ll just edit it. They seemed to do that with some of Vettel’s radio in Malaysia.

    Ferrari did win the next eight races after the Michelin rules change; I didn’t say anything about them all being in the same season.

    @lite992 The tyres were changed during the last few seasons and that wasn’t perceived to have affected the championship. There’s no reason why that should have to be the case this year. As long as we have one tyre […]

    off course for Monaco their relatively weak qualifying pace might be a slight worry. On the other hand, they did outqualify Ferrari and at least one Red Bull lately, so its not all bad.
