Optimaximal commented on the post, Pirelli bring tyre changes forward to Canada 1 week ago
They can’t bring back 2012′s tyres because the external shape and construction are different.
They’re just making changes to stop them exploding.

Optimaximal commented on the post, Ecclestone bribe case decision due 1 week ago
I wondered when this would be brought up. If you think the current Pirelli’s are unsafe, think back to this era, when the ends of races we boring drudges because everyone went ultra conservative… We also had the […]

Alonso had a puncture ahead of his first pit-stop.
Also, Pirelli revealed they added a metal/kevlar belt into the tyre to keep its structure together. Alonso would have been out of the race if not for that.

Optimaximal commented on the post, Button says McLaren form is “embarrassing” 1 week, 1 day ago
If I am sitting in the grandstand without any radio or telephone or whatever, you only see cars passing. Is it too much confusion for the spectators?
You could argue that F1 is a pretty rubbish spectator sport […]

Optimaximal commented on the post, Perez: ‘More respect’ between him and Button now 1 week, 5 days ago
Not really, because the current tyres get ruined if stuck in the sort of air that you need to run in to be allowed to use DRS.

None of the proposed penalty points would affect duelling race cars unless one put the other into a wall.

Slight corrections (IMO of course)-
2009 – McLaren, like Ferrari, were compromised with their 2008 championship challenge. They (along with BMW & Renault) also went all-in on KERS development and missed the […]

Optimaximal commented on the post, Penalty points system for drivers moves a step closer 1 week, 5 days ago
Is it just a language barrier thing, because I don’t understand why people are struggling to understand that this is a penalty point system, *not* a deduction against their WDC points total.

Optimaximal commented on the post, Penalty points system for drivers moves a step closer 1 week, 5 days ago
In that situation, maybe the driver needs to look inwards first to work out why he ended up with eleven points that allowed him to get banned for someone else’s mistake.
Now, if the team has 12 straight unsafe […]

Old news for you, news for the majority of people who watch BBC F1.

Optimaximal commented on the post, Lotus confirm Allison to be replaced by Chester 1 week, 6 days ago
McLaren weak on aero and tyres? I’d say that they’ve easily been ‘#2′ for aero after Red Bull since 2010 (insert jokes about McLaren’s persistent runner-up status here) and they definitely suffered less than the […]

Allison already worked at Ferrari during the dominant Schumacher years.
He has a proven track record of bouncing between teams (always ending up back at Enstone) but I can’t imagine he’d go to Ferrari […]

Joe Saward seems to think it is Mercedes who have ‘made the offer he could not refuse’. I subsequently made the joke to Jennie Gow about them needing a tea boy.
McLaren does seem like the optimum place to go, […]

He already went to Ferrari between the Benetton and Renault days, IIRC.

Optimaximal commented on the post, Button’s complaint shows we need more team radio 2 weeks ago
Actually, I believe they are ‘asked’ to speak English, but its not enforced.
Also, the Red Bull team is almost entirely British, apart from Vettel’s race engineer, who is French. They race under an Austrian […]

James Allen can speak fluent Italian. Coupled with Jaime Alguersuari last year, 5 Live listeners knew what was happening at Ferrari before most of the rest of the world worked it out.

We will always have Webber!
Well, for the rest of the season anyway.

Its also in the regulations now that teams must make all team radio available to the tv broadcasters however none of the tv broadcasters have bothered to make use of this. Am a bit surprised that sky didn’t jump […]

Besides our beloved Charles and Romain of course.
I believe Bianchi is the one to watch. Pic’s only there as long as the money lasts and Romain is certainly struggling a bit this year, be it because of his […]

It’s a modern day issue that many sportsmen and women have to ‘come out publicly’ because a) there are many close-minded nations, some of which berate homosexuality and/or condemn it and b) there are PR […]
