Mike Dee commented on the post, FIA wades into tyre row with safety ruling 1 day, 3 hours ago
On the one hand, it is fair that the tyres are not changed – everybody had the same opportunity to get their cars working with the material at hand.
On the other hand, I feel that the tyres are really […]

In relative terms, Alonso could push compared to Raikkonen. But compared to qualifying pace, they were both far away from pushing!

I don’t really understand why Hulkenberg didn’t back off after being released – there was the space and time. Only once the Toro Rosso turned into its pit did they touch. Did he expect the Toro Rosso to drive past his box??

Don’t think so – they have to use some tyres that were used in qualifying anyway (mostly for 1 or 2 hot laps only) so not sure why the last set of tyres could not be used either?

Mike Dee commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix 6 days, 7 hours ago
But it is because of the nature of the tyres that most teams seem to get it wrong. And yes, there were huge gaps between the leaders – after the second stop, it had all been played out if you take into account the […]

I actually have no problem with 4 stops at such. However, with 4 stops, there should really only be a minimal amount of saving tyres.

and he had to change it whe he realized that to Alonso was not going to stop driving qualification laps…
Watch a qualifying lap of one of the top qualifiers this weekend. Then watch Alonso’s (or anybody else’s) […]

2.
One point for each noteworthy non-DRS overtake I remember: Alonso on Raikkonen and Hamilton, and Vettel on Rosberg.Really, I don’t mind “strategic” races. But there was no strategy here – huge gaps […]

I can see the entertainment value but I did not really like the random results of the beginning of last year where teams went up and down the ladder just because they randomly got the setup right for the […]

its good for tyres to be unpredictable
No it’s not. Predictable wear is what we should have, and differences in wear between compounds.

Actually, I think blue flags is one where it makes sense. If you give a back-marker a drive-through, this does not hurt much. Points towards a race ban might be a much more effective deterrent.

Mike Dee commented on the post, Ferrari: ‘Six out of ten’ for season so far 1 week, 3 days ago
My preference would be to have a material off-track that slows you down significantly if you run wide (maybe 5 seconds or so) but not more than that. It could also be a material that sticks to the tyres for a […]

I doubt that Spa, Spain or even Germany will go because there are world champions who compete for those that represent those countries.
Jérôme d’Ambrosio is coming back? And he will be a world champion by 2015? Hmmmmm.

perhaps decided two weeks prior to the race
No, this would be too much of a lottery. Before qualifying would be better as then everybody would have had a chance to test the tyres.

Yes, you can drive on it with your road car. €26 per lap.
So a correctly set up F1 car should be able to manage as well.
