And Alonso = Teflonso
;-)

@vettel1 I think Grosjean = Crashjean, and why cardboard and the one on the side?

Yes, but if You count out the 2 Mercedes on front row (which I did before the race – I didn’t think any of them would get home within top 5), then Alonso was only starting third. But I really enjoyed his start of […]

I would prefer 52 races a year, but my wife gets her way with Bernie so far;-)

Saturday RTL, German TV: 1230-1315 Free practice: a coverage of the training sessions.
Saturday 1335-1530: RTL, German TV: Qualifying
Sunday: 1245: RTL German TV: Countdown to the Race
Sunday: 1400-1545: RTL, […]

Alonso seriously needs to pit for a new nose on that Ferrari:-)

But Sutil also looses time due to the fact that of the 2 stoppers his pitstops are late in the race. This means that he is loosing time in all the laps he drive between, say Di Restas pitstop and his own, where he […]

@keith: Thanks for all the good work with these data. I know it takes some time to make, but a suggestion: Would it be possible to add Tyre data to the lap time sheets? When I isolate some drivers to look at their […]

Look at http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2013/04/22/2013-bahrain-grand-prix-lap-times-fastest-laps/ and uncheck all boxes except Gutierrez and Di Resta. You will see Di Resta drove the last 19 laps all within 1 second – […]

Now every team will base their race strategy on a SC next race:-) Only Question is: Can the statistics tell us who is likely to be involved in the action causing the SC?
LOL

Whitmarsh: “I had a lot of noise in my ear from people suggesting I should stop them racing.”
I’m so glad You resisted, very gutsy decision, honouring the true racing spirit, thank You, […]

@alebelly74: It seemed as if Massa drew the worst of straws twice. Tthe sport is not about who can develop and produce the best tyres, so it is very unfair with that kind of seemingly random tyre failures. Apart […]

I would say the Lotus was dominant, but Vettel was starting further at the front and driving superbly today. Had he had a bit of bad luck, like the Ferrari’s, it would have become a Lotus 1-2. Webbers day […]

Yes, because Webber is always just as fast and consistent and has won almost just as much as Vettel.

@debaser91: +1. Hopefully we will see this tight battle between Vettel, Raikkonen and Alonso You write about in some of the races to come this year.

Some protesters from recent years have been sentenced lifelong imprisonment for even non-violent protests against the Kingdom’s non-democratic rule. We don’t hear much about these protesters, because they can’t […]

@f190: That isn’t true. VET really tried but had a technical brake issue, which was why he overshot in a corner and gave up his lap as it was ruined. If he had been successful and gotten a P6 or so, he would […]

I watched it on RTL, maybe that is why I didn’t see the fight between Kimi and Perez (they also showed commercials while Alonso caught Vettel and passed him, very annoying). I understood from the discussion […]

@calum: When the drivers has a green light down the DRS straight, why shouldn’t they use DRS? Do they have to get a written permission by FIA in each case? Come on, FIA should pull their act together, this isn’t god enough.
