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 […]

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 […]

Vettel has had it far too easy for a couple of years, and struggles to perform when the car is not perfect.

@jason12 I think you must mean Webber, because three championships (plus runner up once) and 25 wins […]

Good to see NBC is putting in some effort to make the coverage live up to promise!

Don’t forget that the numbers mentioned for teams like Andretti or Ganassi and Penske are for 3 car teams @fer-no65. It does compare the highest numbers from Ferrari and Red Bull to what these 3 IndyCar teams […]

I think your are right on that @robbie, one only has to look at others doing a better job to see its not the tyres that do not work at all, but Mercedes having gotten something wrong (but not as wrong as McLaren, […]

I agree that the only thing making it worse for me was the coverage, and the almost constant droning of Brundle about how the tyres were making it confusing.

By all accounts it was not a great race, but after […]

Because it’s on public display, which means anyone can take a look at it – including other teams. Why give them a free kick by putting all of their latest parts on the show car?

@vettel1
Though Red Bull are leading both championships, let’s be honest, they’ve been very lucky. Alonso has finished every one of his three normal race he’s had at least 10 seconds ahead of Vettel. In Malaysia, […]

@vettel1

I’m sorry Alonso, but were you watching the same season as the rest of us last year? The only races where Red Bull “had it easy” were the three races in a row which Vettel won (I’m deliberately discounting […]

“Top F1 team: $470 million [£312.58m]; Top IndyCar team: $15 million [£9.98m].”

Why all this again? how many times it’s been done? It’s easy for Indycar teams ofc, with standard chassis, standard engines, […]

Historically, Hamilton is the driver that squeezes a larger percentage of the car’s raw potential than Rosberg, although this arguably hasn’t been the case for much of this year,

– exactly what I meant to say <a href='http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/william-brierty/&#039; […]

off course that should read “… try qualifying on the mediums softs …”

Thorough analyses @william-brierty!

I agree with you that its highly unlikely someone would try qualifying on the mediums, its more likely that they would not run in Q3 instead, or that one of the cars right […]

@william-brierty
How is Hamilton a specialist around Monaco?

2007 — Out-qualified and outraced by Alonso.
2008 — Hit the wall, very lucky with the pit-stop timing to win.
2009 — Crash in qualy and lost a […]

Don’t make me laugh. With that kind of pace and tire wear rate, you trying to play down Ferrari ‘s easiness on tire??? Look at onboard video, both massa and fernando drove superb aggressively and the tire managed […]
