I doubt that, if it was indeed a ploy, it wasn’t worth a fresh set of tires. Looking at Vettel’s Q2 approach, may be, they were looking to avoid late traffic with that first run, but since, no one else showed up […]

@kiethcollantine I wonder what FIA was thinking when they came up with that rule. “Guys you outclassed the rest of the grid, so, in their favor we ask you to do the first stint with the used tyre. That way they […]

@bobby-balboa I agree, this rule hardly makes any sense with the sort of speed and degradation difference between Pirelli tyre compounds we’ve now.

And that would eliminate the influence of tire wear on qualifying.

Just saying, with the rules we now have, if FIA can get rid of the rule that demands top 10 drivers to start on tires they qualified on, then, we’ll see everyone running on Q3 with the faster tires.

Technically, i think, he can. But, it wouldn’t make sense to start on softs now. Even with a brand new set he can only get a few more laps out of it than the front runners… and that isn’t worth the penalty of […]

I don’t know about RedBull’s strategy call, but, looking at what they did with Sebastian Vettel’s car in Q3 starting on medium looks more like a direct consequence of him going out so early on softs in Q3. Just […]

Keith, you could have posted top 5 in one shot… it isn’t like the order for top two is going to be surprise when you reveal it, is it?

In the previous race, the Australian had said speculation about his exit was unfounded.
“Everyone seems quite good at stories and making them up,” said Stoner at Estoril earlier this month. “I’ve said many […]

I partly agree with @paul_E80′s comment. Tires are too fragile and too sensitive, and, IMO, DRS was a good work-around for aero sensitivity when they introduced it, but F1 using it as a permanent solution seems […]

Interesting to know that Fernando shares his victory money with the mechanics… anyone else (or every other driver) on the grid do that?

Happy to know that India has managed to produce a good track, I didn’t expect it.
