    Kiril Varbanov replied to the forum topic Video: Hamilton and Alonso slowing before the DRS line in the group Group logoF1 1 week ago

    Yes, it might. But your other option is to ”push like hell” and overdrive the tires.
    Then again, DRS should be simply gone in 2014 with the enormous power of ERS.

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Why a former F1 mechanic believes Mercedes’ secret test “was a huge advantage” 2 weeks ago

    Certainly, it’s always nice to hear from someone inside the circus, and I have no doubts that what Marc says is correct.
    The big question is, of course, who is going to prove what and are we going to see actions taken.

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, New video shows how barrier blocked track after Chilton-Maldonado crash 2 weeks, 5 days ago

    650 marshals were appointed for this race and it was quite a fast work.
    Although I had the chance to comment the race on the TV and look at the incident from lots of different angels, the world stream never […]

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Monaco Grand Prix 3 weeks ago

    My humble vote is 2.
    Monaco should stop hosting F1 GP and do some classic retro cars rallies. Absolutely boring race, looking forward to a real race track.

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Ecclestone tips BMW to join Honda in F1 return 4 weeks, 1 day ago

    Given that 80% of the road-going BMWs are having one, two or three turbochargers fitted on a downsized engine, I’d assume that joining F1 would make lots of sense.
    Besides, there’s an M division to compete with […]

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Ferrari join Lotus in criticising tyre revisions 1 month ago

    @keithcollantine – Thanks for the link, the articles talk about wet tires alone.
    Again, we hit the problem of how to read the rules – as the Devil would read the Bible or straightforward. If it’s the latter, […]

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Ferrari join Lotus in criticising tyre rules change 1 month ago

    The situation is ridiculous – it is a jump into the unknown, spoiling the current status, mocking at the efforts made by large number of people, potentially changing the future champion, and last but not least, […]

    That’s plain stupid. If it was that amusing and nothing to be ashamed of, why we haven’t seen it yet?

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Upgrade at Enstone to help Lotus catch the top three 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    Two additions:
    1. I’m not 100% sure, but I guess the latest upgrade on the CFD front allows them to reduce the time for simulation by using already computed/solved equations on certain part of the model, while […]

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Scheckter’s top two are Vettel and Hamilton 5 months, 4 weeks ago

    In F1 world there’s no such term as “team player”, be assured. This is a cruel world and only the mean people win. The nice guys don’t survive.

    As for JS – that’s his opinion and he is apparently welcome to […]

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Montezemolo says F1 should follow Le Mans’ lead 5 months, 4 weeks ago

    Formula 1 must quickly start to lose some of its elite status if they want fans to continue to visit circuits – one of my main criticism for years regarding this side of the sport.

    If you visit Le Mans once, […]

    4,000 kids die from starvation every day – that’s cause I had donated and will do again. Racing drivers – sorry guys, I like you, but I others need our help more than you.

    Kiril Varbanov commented on the post, Late front wing development on 2012′s fastest car 6 months ago

    Indeed, nice article.
    What’s really nice about this front wing is its seamless integration – while it is evolutionary, it helped Mclaren to stay on top of the time sheets.

    Next I very much value the fact […]

    Tough words, but this is how it works – he [CH] will love to have one motivated opponent less.

    Massa’s obvious problem is his mentality – he was under pressure and cracked, and as soon as the contract was […]

    Given the amount of money HRT had they were not that bad. I’ve met team members eating sandwiches on the street, they travel in normal passengers class and sleep in two star hotels – absolutely normal people. […]

    Even if they get the support from the government, they need to make sure to educate the local people and the rest of the world that there is, actually, a race in Turkey.

    Depends on the definition of “people” – sometimes you wish to label “people” only the personas around you.

    DRS is an easy fix | patch to the growing austerity of the teams, hence the frozen innovations, […]
