the difference is that it could be incredibly dangerous if a tyre failed, far more so (in general) than if an engine or gearbox were to let go. if the left-rear failed in turn 3 it could be one hell of an accident.

2010 was webber’s chance and he fluffed it at korea. sometimes a driver gets only one chance to be WDC and they don’t take it – that is the nature of sport: you must overcome the bad luck, put in enough good […]

i totally agree with this. i fully expected them not to bother with DRS at montreal in 2011, but they had 2 (!) zones instead. then, after the motorway-style passes we saw in 2011, i fully expected (naively) that […]

300 races is an incredible achievement. admittedly there are more races these days, but 18 seasons is fantastic longevity.

@legnig makes a good point. i disliked the mention of ‘taking out leading championship competitors’ – it should have no bearing on the punishment who is involved. however, a one-race ban is a good idea, and should […]

though it must be said, lap times are not quite where they were in 2004/5, though most of that difference must be attributed to the tyre war. it is amazing how quickly the teams catch up. even in 1995 (when engine […]

it’s a shame hockenheim has become so dull. it used to be a highlight. when the new nurburgring returned in 1995, everyone panned it for being boring, but now it’s seen as something of a gem.
