    Kim Philby commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix 1 week, 4 days ago

    Yes they nursed mechanical parts instead of tires and that’s what bothers many that Pirelli gets mentioned far more than the teams. After all it is the teams that fail to make interesting so to be imposed […]

    Kim Philby commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Spanish Grand Prix 1 week, 4 days ago

    I went for a seven and let me justify it. I ‘ve been watching since 1985 and I have to say that this era isn’t as bad as it looks. People have short memory, let me remind you SPA 2007. It is the Ferraris 1-2 […]

    Kim Philby commented on the post, Vettel: “You don’t want any gifts” 3 weeks, 6 days ago

    I on the other hand like arbitrary lists. But only for the sake of conversation. I say I don’t like him because I genuinely I don’t like him and I don’t feel the need to justify this to my self. @Jon Sandor raised […]

    Kim Philby commented on the post, Vettel: “You don’t want any gifts” 3 weeks, 6 days ago

    @Jon Sandor
    This is the best justification I have ever read! In fact it is so good that I fall into 3 out of 4 categories.

    1) I always believed that if the team was Williams instead of RedBull i guess I would […]

    Kim Philby commented on the post, Vettel: “I don’t apologise for winning” in Malaysia 1 month, 1 week ago

    Come on why on earth should he be sorry? In Malaysia Vettel managed:

    1) The victory
    2) The points lead both in Redbull and Drivers championship
    3) The humiliation of his teammate
    4) A new found personality, […]

    Now this is what I call a great read! The various track designs never cease to amaze me and of course F1 used tracks are the pinnacle. On point now I think it is essential to differentiate a good track from a good […]

    Kim Philby commented on the post, 2012 F1 season statistics part two: Stats and facts 5 months ago

    I believed a very important statistic of the year that somehow nobody has mentioned is that this 4 year drought since 2008 is the longest period that any of the big 3 FERRARI / MCLAREN / WILLIAMS has failed to […]

    I believe Hamilton leaving Mclaren is a good thing for all. For him it is a much needed change the relation with Mclaren is not very effective and every single season we get accustomed to new reason for it. They […]

    Kim Philby commented on the post, 2012 F1 Driver Rankings #1: Fernando Alonso 5 months, 1 week ago

    No I didn’t say Massa is a qualifying hero is that his qualifying speed was always one of his best assets, much like Webber and Trulli as they managed to beat more often than not more heralded opponents.

    In […]

    @debaser91

    It wasn’t 7-8 races, merely 2 qualifying sessions and 3 races and as I said elsewhere Massa always excels in CCW circuits and he outperformed Alonso exactly there. Do you think it is coincidence?

    Kim Philby commented on the post, 2012 F1 Driver Rankings #1: Fernando Alonso 5 months, 1 week ago

    The one thing Alonso should keep from this year is that he may lost the title but his Legend grew significantly, just like Senna’s in ’93 or Schumacher in ’98.

    Massa well and truly outperformed him in Korea, […]

    Kim Philby commented on the post, 2012 F1 Driver Rankings #2: Lewis Hamilton 5 months, 1 week ago

    Absolutely spot on for Lewis the fact that he accumulated just 2 points more than Button isn’t the biggest illusion this year!
    I just wonder when we are gonna witness a full blown title showdown between Hamilton […]

    Kim Philby commented on the post, 2012 F1 driver rankings #3: Sebastian Vettel 5 months, 1 week ago

    Maldonado’s in Spain, Perez in Malaysia -those stand out the most- in my opinion was equal at the very least to the best of Vettel this year.
    Certainly Vettel outperformed Button this year, my assessment though […]

    @xjr15jaaag,

    It is not invalid it is unfair because in Vettel’s case it doesn’t happen randomly, and even if Schumi chose to do it for the Torro Rosso boys it’s safe to assume that he did tell them to move […]

    @xjr15jaaag,

    For your previous comment in which can’t reply for some reason

    STRs and and Schumi moving over is a fault of his, is an unfair advantage he enjoyed whie his rivals didn’t thus undermining his success.

    @sumedh, what if Button stayed in the raced but surrendering the lead to Alonso in Schumacher’s or Torro Rosso’s style?
