@ilanin that is a possibility yes. Perhaps it was only delayed though because they can’t determine if the drivers actually realised they were in violation of the rules though?

@ilanin Whoa! Was that really “the” Bin Laden family sponsoring Williams? As a theoretical, who do you think would Osama sponsor now? I reckon Lotus on the condition that Kimi always has a seat.

@ilanin – And whenever Mark has problems, he is miles behind his teammate regardless. What is your point?

@ilanin
My post was a response to people saying that Rosberg and Webber actually finished 3rd and 1st respectively, when clearly they didn’t.

@ilanin I’ve filtered out the three slowest laps to help with that. If you’ve got a suggestion for new functionality please post it here:

@ilanin I just wanted to add up by saying that according Gary Anderson, the McLaren package seems to be very sensitive to yaw and pitch, causing air detachment problems especially in the front wing and at the […]

@ilanin, the shorter the life span the quicker the learning, that’s why the flu virus evolves faster than tortoises.

@ilanin – I think you might be about right on that. The problem doesn’t necessarily appear to be ride primarily, but just a general lack of set-upability (I invented that word just there!). I think the car does […]

No @dennis, what @ilanin writes is true.

It is against the rules to have flexing bodywork to any degree. But because that is in practice not possible, there is a tolerance to allow for materials vibrating etc. […]

@Ilanin My mistake, somehow I thought, the question was how many different drivers will win races, lol. I think 6 different teams will win races.

@ilanin
Heres why i feel Massa is lucky.

1) To survive a life-threatening accident in 2009. Thats luck.

1) To be beaten by a new team mate in 2010, and then in 2011 and 2012 and still retain his seat in a […]

@ilanin – to add to that, if we are talking purely about championships, Ferrari’s longest streak remains the same (1984-1998) whereas McLaren’s is much shorter (2000-2007). So the drought period argument is […]

@ilanin it looks like a pistol.

Ok, I get your point there @ilanin. But as you write yourself, even if it would be, then Di Resta would still have more single seater experience to prove he is up to it.

But that driver won a prestigious championship in the year before he joined the F1 grid. I hope you admit that is a big difference @ilanin

Well now you’ve put it like that @ilanin I think it’s perfectly fine for my favourite sport to compromise its quality and it doesn’t bother me at all that wastrels like Razia and van der Garde are taking drives […]

@ilanin – I imagine it will be some sort of measurement of how much fuel is left in the tank when the pump no longer keeps working otherwise I can see no benefit: the teams absolutely have to carry enough fuel to […]

@ilanin I think it’s more about wet tracks – think China 2010 qualy, his pole, last year’s qualies in Silverstone and Hockenheim, and the last race. He seems to be pretty special in the wet.

@ilanin good point about Vettel being the only success of RB Driver Programme. I’m putting my money on Antonio Felix da Costa, I’d put him in a Toro Rosso in 2014 and give him a Red Bull in 2015 in case his […]

@kingshark – of course nothing is certain, which is why I said we can expect, not be certain that! I wouldn’t say that 1999-2009 was a “slump”: Ferrari simply out-spent and out-tested all their rivals as @ilanin […]
