yes

Might have been the KERS playing up though, as his team claimed

Yeah, that illustrates it pretty nicely @lustigson. Domination is what we saw with Ferrari and McLaren.

The last couple of years have been the best job from Red Bull overall, thats why they won. Having the […]

And McLaren could have been right up there in 2012 if not for numerous mistakes and technical mishaps too. And even in 2011 it could have been closer had Hamilton not messed up his own season as much.

Dominance […]

What should he then do when asked about it (see Keith’s tweet), stay silent, give a “no comment” answer or what?

For information, here’s the question Vettel was asked:

Pirelli said after the race [in Spain] they wanted to make changes to the tyres to reduce the number of pit stops. The FIA then said you can only change on […]

The thing is, the tyres do not disintegrate, as opposed to what they did until the end of last year when they got punctured @hipn0tic, these tyres hold together and allow the car to safely slow down and be parked.

A fast translation of that BQ:
Despite that, Pirelli will have a tough job with pushing this change through. Force India is against it. “We won’t support any change, no matter what way it goes. As Pirelli […]

From this AMuS (German) article its pretty clear why we are hearing teams speak up now: Pirelli will give them their proposal of what they want to change today, and it needs all teams to agree to be able to change […]

In the middle of 2011 Alonso described Red Bull’s position as “too dominant”. At that point I think it was fair to describe them as being in a dominant position.

But taking the previous three years as a whole, […]

Oh, and its nice to see that Maldonado seems on pace this weekend. No hitting any barriers, nor Perez either

Did Rosberg do that fastest lap of his during a long stint?

Rosberg seems to be really on a run, would be good if he can keep that up at least until the end of qualifying. Hamilton not quite on it.

And the Ferrari is right there on pace. Kimi took it a bit slow, not […]

Here is an article where German Motorsport-Total claims Pirelli already have some contracts done with several teams (Red Bull, STR, Ferrari are mentioned

That’s nonsense @georgetuk. Through Sky its possible to highlight the situation and try and influence the fans, and what the bosses see. Pirelli bosses are unlikely to be happy if they are seen to be providing bad […]

Yeah, these tyres certainly are not all that stable (but Pirelli already stated they will react to that). On the other hand, the tyres not deflating and being shredded to pieces makes it far less dangerous than a […]

@bascb

I think its more part of a power struggle and a bit of pushing for bigger / smaller changes dependent on what side of the spectrum teams are.

Most likely, though you have to wonder if all the failures […]

Personally I think its more part of a power struggle and a bit of pushing for bigger / smaller changes dependant on what side of the spectrum teams are.
Red Bull and Mercedes certainly wanting a change, Lotus and […]
