VW is probably the one with the best chances but doesn’t really have the prestige name

@jeanrien: To be honest, I think VW made a long-term commitment to WRC. And considering the fact that they had to pull out […]

@jeanrien I see it as unlucky in that a mechanical failure is unlucky.
Using it again was stupid, but the fact it happened was unlucky.

I think its now right at the pit entry, maybe that was one of the reasons for where exactly to put it @jeanrien.

@vettel1
Perez is 3 years younger than Hulkenberg, and has already achieved more in his more tender career.

@jeanrien – I could understand why somebody may have voted for Perez, but for the reasons I’ve discussed above I think it’s probably not going to materialise.

STR’s and FI’s battles will be close no doubt, but […]

@jeanrien

Hulkenberg : No doubt on this one, he should be the one at McLaren instead of Perez, but the season will tell

No he shouldn’t. People really need to get off the Hulkenberg bandwagon.

@jeanrien – Inetersting decision with regards to the Lotus line-up, so I guess we’ll see how that pans out. I think the fact you forgot the Force India line-up says it all – it’s a rather uninspiring and forgettable one!

*faltered, argh!

@jeanrien – they definitely had the fastest car on average and a very on form Lewis Hamilton. But what they achieved with that advantage just shows how badly they missed out: Hamilton never […]

@jeanrien They need two because with only one teams would be tempted to gear the cars to hit the rev limiter under closed wing conditions meaning an open DRS would be worthless.

@jeanrien No: the DDRS (or DRD ‘device’) seen in testing stalls both the upper and lower element of the rear wing partially. DRS stalls only the upper element, but for its entirety. Not to mention that with a DRD […]

@jeanrien its sad, but you are most likely dead right, I can see most teams being interested in him if he is clean, fast and has backing. One to watch for the future.

@jeanrien Well spotted! I think you could be right, then the ‘main’ inlet can be used (or partly used) for RB’s version of the ‘device’, and the smaller inlet for engine cooling. Interesting to keep an eye on that.

@jeanrien

Lotus certainly seem to be putting their eggs in that basket, Honestly… I doubt that they can make it effective, it just seems so overly complicated. But if, just if they can actually make it work, […]

that should read “Also what @jeanrien said,”

It was a general example of one reason why Jenson thinks it’s better for him. Not a comparison of drivers.

Also what @jeanrien, Button thinks he will be able to heat these new tires properly. That’s probably […]

We all are happy to have Keith working since many years and I’m pretty sure I talk in name of many others.

@jeanrien

Agree mate, I read almost every article on this site, if not for the article itself, the thoughts of many other F1 fans around the world.

Some people are just ungrateful and look at the responses […]

@vettel1, @jeanrien,@bascb, because it will not be usable for the entire full throttle time at some circuits I expect it will operate automatically through the throttle as you suggest but will have an on/off […]

@jeanrien – I believe it is the manufacturers of the engines who are developing the ERS as they are an integral part of the engines more so than the current KERS systems, with turbo’s and MGUH/K’s included in the […]

@jeanrien – definitely if Red Bull continue to have their usual KERS gremlins although I doubt Adrian Newey will comprimise the KERS cooling in 2014 when it becomes such as significant factor in performance. If […]
