    Keith Collantine commented on the post, Two DRS zones for every track bar Monaco and Suzuka in 2013 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    @melkurion

    now we need to justify its cost

    This isn’t why they’ve increased the number of DRS zones this year.

    When DRS was introduced the rationale behind allowing free use of it in qualifying was that it […]

    @melkurion – hahaha, +1! They aren’t getting Newey anytime soon me thinks though ;)

    Prisoner Monkeys commented on the post, Susie Wolff aiming for F1 superlicence after FW35 test 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    @melkurion – I don’t see anything in Wolff’s comments to suggest that Williams will get Mercedes engines in exchange for giving his wife a racing seat. Especially considering that Williams have an option in their […]

    Keith Collantine commented on the post, ‘Rich drivers’ a sign cost cuts are needed – Minardi 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    @melkurion Wikipedia is OK for getting a very basic overview of subjects but I would never cite it in a discussion like this because anything that’s written in it can be changed by anyone. There is nothing […]

    Poul Winther commented on the post, “I should have won ’86, he should have won ’87″ – Piquet and Mansell on their rivalry 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    @melkurion If you don’t believe that he very intensely did downright disgusting things to destroy Senna’s image that is your choice. It does not reflect the history on which you can easily read up.

    Piquet’s […]

    Poul Winther commented on the post, “I should have won ’86, he should have won ’87″ – Piquet and Mansell on their rivalry 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    @melkurion The problem with your view is that it doesn’t consider Piquet’s history of brutal and dishonest attempts to publicly destroy Senna’s image out of nothing but pure envy.

    If anything you should put […]

    Max Jacobson commented on the post, “I should have won ’86, he should have won ’87″ – Piquet and Mansell on their rivalry 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    @melkurion Yes, the question itself was stupid. The answer was just ridiculous. I don’t see how the fact he also crashed at tamburello changes the meaning of his comment: is he implying that because he didn’t die […]

    Max Jacobson commented on the post, “I should have won ’86, he should have won ’87″ – Piquet and Mansell on their rivalry 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    @melkurion – that particular example you have referred to I found a senseless and quite frankly appalling remark. The rest I agree are quite amusing but to say such a senseless thing is shocking. It just makes me […]

    Max Jacobson commented on the post, Williams to run 2012 car at first test 4 months ago

    @melkurion my immediate suspicion was “option a)” but others have also raised some plausible possibilities like gaining a greater understanding of the tyres in an known entity (i.e. the FW34) but I feel that is […]

    Yes @melkurion he sure knows how to lift his teams’ spirit! At least he has become more gracious in defeat…

    AndrewTanner commented on the post, Schumacher says farewell to Formula One 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    @melkurion He never tarnished anything, you’re right. To walk away with 7 championships is one thing, to walk back in to a grid considered the best ever, into a new team you don’t know with a car less than […]

    @melkurion

    It’s Lotus and it’s using the Coca-Cola-owned Burn brand:

    Max Jacobson commented on the post, Vettel takes crucial pole as rival Alonso struggles to fourth row 6 months ago

    @melkurion – he said that because P1 is on an incline, so that may comprimise the start. The even-numbered grid-slots are supposedly lacking so much in grip that those drivers are expected to perhaps lose 2 places […]

    Nicholas Sunderland commented on the post, Nico Hulkenberg joins Sauber for 2013 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    @melkurion If we look at Marussia’s history…

    2010 Driver: Lucas di Grassi
    2009 GP2 Result: 3rd

    2011 Driver: Jérôme d’Ambrosio
    2010 GP2 Result: 12th

    2012 Driver: Charles Pic
    2011 GP2 Result: 4th

    So […]

    Bob commented on the post, Nico Hulkenberg joins Sauber for 2013 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    @melkurion – A very nicely done assessment of the driver market you have here!

    In my opinion, Alguersuari will probably get the Force India drive, and Marussia will likely pick Max Chilton to replace Pic. […]

    @melkurion Ah that’s a shame, would have been fun though! But I can see why RBR and Renault brought in that clause.

    @melkurion
    Frinjs is very fortunate to be able to decide not to join RB, it means he has financial backing, which in nowadays is a privilege. Many drivers without that backing don´t have the opportunity to show […]

    Keith Collantine commented on the post, Frijns gets Sauber test chance 7 months ago

    @melkurion

    Frijns has made the concientious choice NOT to join the Red Bull talent family

    Had he been offered the opportunity?

    @melkurion
    It does! Who said fast cars couldn’t be practical? I mean, you could easily tape a box of icecream onto it. And it will be softice when you get there. Perfect.

    @melkurion – mind you with the pace of Red Bull that’s starting to look like an unlikely proposition.
