    Jake commented on the post, Horner awarded OBE for services to motorsport 2 days, 13 hours ago

    The similarities are all there. They both lose Newey, the both win a championship and stay relatively competitive for the next 5-6 years, until they lose their engine supplier and drift off into midfield obscurity.

    Jake commented on the post, Vettel makes amends for 2011 defeat with victory 1 week, 1 day ago

    Is part of the front wing Alonso knocked off not part of the car? Debatable wether it’s “significant” but surely worth a look at imo.

    Jake commented on the post, Vettel makes amends for 2011 defeat with victory 1 week, 1 day ago

    Any particular reason that Alonso wasn’t investigated for failing to leave a cars width when moving back onto the racing line after defending? It seems to be a rule that was invented and then completely ignored […]

    Jake commented on the post, Four-stop races “is too much”, says Horner 1 month, 1 week ago

    I’m not so sure it’s the 4 stops that is the problem, more the fact that nobody is ever really pushing 100%, with lots of different drivers pushing to lots of different levels at different times in the race. It […]

    @vettel1 I agree, that was the first race I can remember since I was an easily distracted child that I was waiting for it to end.

    Jake commented on the post, Alonso wins the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix 1 month, 1 week ago

    It’s because nobodies racing so nobody crashes. When was the last time we saw a driver make a mistake because they were pushing?

    Jake commented on the post, Alonso wins the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix 1 month, 1 week ago

    I think you’re right and I think that is the major issues for Merc. They are so concentrated on trying to go slow and save their tyres, but they haven’t seemed to realise that going slow isn’t saving their tyres. […]

    Jake commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix 1 month, 1 week ago

    Indeed. A three time world champion told not to race, the pole sitter questioning wether he should race, and another world champion saying “I can’t drive any slower”. Not good. Oh, and team orders at McLaren too to top it off

    Both of whom had fundamentally slower race cars

    Jake commented on the post, Vettel wins Bahrain Driver of the Weekend poll 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    But the Ferrari was clearly a faster race car than pretty much everything else out there. And in my opinion he/Ferrari were pretty foolish to open DRS on the lap after it broke.

    Jake commented on the post, Vettel wins Bahrain Driver of the Weekend poll 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    I personally felt there were others that deserved a place in the top 3 more than him @vettel1 . E.g Perez, Hamilton, Raikkonen.

    Jake commented on the post, Vettel wins Bahrain Driver of the Weekend poll 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    But surely it depends what others did as well. I personally felt that there were more other standout performances in Bahrain from people who didn’t have a car capable of winning then there were in China, hence why […]

    Jake commented on the post, DRS and tyres: Has F1 got the balance right? 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    I think the tyres alone could solve that problem. As someone with a degree that involved a lot of scientific experiments, one of the first things you learn is “only change one thing at a time”. I think if F1 had […]

    Jake commented on the post, DRS and tyres: Has F1 got the balance right? 1 month, 2 weeks ago

    I voted negative for both. DRS is a pretty simple one, its just not required in my view and has destroyed the art of defensive driving.

    With regards to the tyres, I feel that since 2012 they have had a […]

    @todfod and seeing as DiResta is one of the drivers on the grid never to beat his teammate over a whole season, he arguably sits in the other half.

    It shouldn’t be forgotten that Hamilton led Rosberg in both races before his retirements.

    Or do they have the quickest drivers over 1 lap?
