Michael replied to the forum topic Is Rosberg faster than Hamilton? in the group
F1 15 hours, 9 minutes agoIt’s hard to tell – Rosberg seems to thrive in the Merc if we look at his stint with Schumacher who probably would have liked to have taken a hammer to the Mercs;-) The last few races have shown that the Merc is […]

Michael commented on the post, Hamilton expects Mercedes resurgence in Monaco 2 days, 17 hours ago
Tyre strategies may also come into play. If a team such as Lotus can stay out a few laps longer they can just end up in front of the other team as the race progresses. I don’t know if it’s possible to do fewer […]

F1 6 days, 8 hours agoPlease don’t tell me that the tyres are also creating fundamental problems in the cars’ performance beside the fact that they are wearing away too quickly on some cars and less on other cars. Now they have to […]

@Steve_McGrath Enlightening post! Indeed Gutierrez was the last to pit and switched to the Hard. Looking at the charts above it looks like DiResta pitted a lap before also on the Hard but when I looked at the […]

But we’ve seen this irregularity with the Mercs and even Brawns for a while. In 2009 Button was the clear better driver at the start season then Barrichello crushed him in the 2nd half. Same with Rosberg, he […]

Michael commented on the post, 2013 Spanish Grand Prix tyre strategies and pit stops 1 week, 4 days ago
Looking at the pit stops, is it conclusive that 4 pit stops were the better strategy?
I think that was the case just for the Ferraris.
Rosberg on 3 pit stops managed to keep P6 as opposed to dropping further […] -

How on earth could a rookie in a Sauber have scored a fastest lap when Vettel in the indomitable Red Bull has only scored 17 fastest laps in over 100 races? That gives Gutierrez (1 out of 5) a higher ratio than […]

Oops I forgot to remove #4 as it is part of #1 – if Rosberg is faster than Hamilton it doesn’t matter who’s better or worse.

Michael commented on the post, 2013 Spanish Grand Prix lap times and fastest laps 1 week, 4 days ago
For some reason Hamilton’s car has been slower than Rosberg’s car by quite a margin. Hamilton is trying to be modest but Merc should know better.
There are 3 possible explanations:
1. […] -
Michael commented on the post, Button says McLaren form is “embarrassing” 1 week, 5 days ago
Isn’t that the same gamble that Red Bull made in one of the early races for Vettel that didn’t pay off? Ferrari pulled it off but what if the tyres had not lasted that long? Raikonnen would have swept in for the […]

F1 1 week, 5 days ago@Antonio Nartea
Great points! I checked the deltas between Perez and Ricciardo. At the end of the race Ricciardo was lapped and Perez was 81.7 seconds off Alonso’s time. I guess they could have been afraid of […] -
Michael commented on the post, Button says McLaren form is “embarrassing” 1 week, 5 days ago
Let’s be realistic – everyone has voiced how ridiculous the tire situation is the past 2 years but it wasn’t until today that it literally became a living breathing example of the Turtle and the Hare. The Hare […]

Michael replied to the forum topic How did Button end up ahead of Perez in Spain? in the group
F1 1 week, 5 days agoThanks, I wasn’t aware of how many stops each had made. Still strange as an extra pit stop took about ~18 seconds based on the commentary. The better rubber should have given Perez enough advantage.
I do […]

Michael commented on the post, Hamilton doesn’t want another race like that 1 week, 5 days ago
Hamilton said that something along the lines that he was lost during practice. Something’s definitely wrong with his car as we saw in Bahrain where his car seemed like a Marussia for part of the race then started working.

Michael commented on the post, Hamilton doesn’t want another race like that 1 week, 5 days ago
Yes but this year what we are seeing is that P4 or P5 are better as long as the car has good race pace. Alonso passed 2 cars and nearly passed 3 cars including Kimi’s Lotus, Hamilton’s Merc and Vetter’s Red Bull […]

Michael started the forum topic How did Button end up ahead of Perez in Spain? in the group
F1 1 week, 5 days agoDoes anyone know how Button ended up in front of Perez in Spain? At one point Button was languishing in P17 (according to the commentators) and complaining about not being able to get heat in the tyres. Perez […]

Why aren’t people replying to this topic after the original topic was locked? For some reason locking a topic and redirecting them always seems to kill a discussion.
