    Mike commented on the post, BMW denies Ecclestone’s comeback claim 1 day, 3 hours ago

    that is sportingly equitable amongst the vast majority

    So mid season changes to the tyre compounds are to be made.

    I agree, the delamination problem needs to be fixed though, as it could prove very dangerous.

    Mike commented on the post, Boullier criticises Pirelli tyre tweaks 4 days, 15 hours ago

    @robbie

    1. Delamination and tire wear are two separate problems. Don’t confuse them.

    2. What the teams say is good for the sport isn’t necessarily what’s good for the sport.

    3. Neither of us can know […]

    @vettel1

    By logical deduction it is therefore safe to assume

    that they have not given the media an opinion yet, therefore we can not know what side they are on.

    @vettel1

    if the majority of teams feel that this is an issue that needs addressed, who are we to criticise there judgement?

    Please back that one up with links.

    @bleeps_and_tweaks

    I completely agree. Barcelona is notable in that we have had a similar situation every year. This year wasn’t out of the ordinary as Red Bull’s side are saying.

    Mike commented on the post, Pirelli bring tyre changes forward to Canada 1 week ago

    @alec-glen

    An analysis of lap times would tell you that Fuel also plays a significant factor. And that by the last stints of the race, the F1 cars were lapping faster. Noting that tyres still were an issue. […]

    @alec-glen

    Tyres are, being the only contact patch they usually have with the road, (less those that race near Pastor), are a very significant part of the car.

    Mike commented on the post, Puncture and flag investigation no problem for Alonso 1 week, 2 days ago

    Because taking a flag into the car doesn’t affect the race, the result or the post race weigh in.

    Therefor, having investigated the breach, they decided that no action was necessary.

    Mike commented on the post, Puncture and flag investigation no problem for Alonso 1 week, 2 days ago

    Exactly the same thing, they’d investigate due to the potential for cheating when foreign objects are put in the car, then clear it when it is clear that the flag did not give an unfair advantage.

    Mike commented on the post, Puncture and flag investigation no problem for Alonso 1 week, 2 days ago

    He can collect a flag.

    consistent with a previous decision made under similar circumstances.

    Effectively means it will always be the case.

    They HAVE to investigate due to foreign objects being taken […]

    @fer-no65

    picking up flags or stuff like that

    That’s a slippery slope I think. :D
    The FIA is doing the right thing, Investigate any rule breach but turn a blind eye if no benefit existed that may have […]

    @kingshark

    Don’t mention that to Horner, he is trying to get the tyres changed to benefit his team. Not sure it’d help his point.

    In @celeste defense you need to keep in mind the context of the comment he was replying to I think.

    @vettel1

    And what if some jurors don’t agree?

    Not commenting on what side is right, But wondering what the point of looking at a pole is if you’re not interested in what others think?

    Mike commented on the post, Bahrain rated best race of the year so far 2 weeks, 4 days ago

    Di Resta was lapping much slower at the time, this is entirely to do with the strategy the drivers where on.
