    plushpile commented on the post, McLaren’s points run ends as Raikkonen equals record 1 week, 1 day ago

    Interesting to note that while Webber and Alonso have entered effectively the same amount of races and laps (2001 and 2002 season were raced on practically identical calendars) Alsonso has completed almost 1000 […]

    They look like they’ve all been been told to make a frowny face – “look angry! Grrr….”

    I also noted that 2 of the 6 are sons of prominent WRC drivers, thought that was interesting.

    How are tyres that are designed to degrade any different from the limiting factors of any era in F1.
    For example in the turbo era they essentially drove to target lap times as dictated by the boost being run as […]

    Not all that much shorter than Monaco (which is about 3.3km)

    plushpile commented on the post, Bahrain’s repeat podium is a rare occurence for F1 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    Using Kieth’s data there were 75 pit stops, which fell on 37 laps, so
    Laps are of course relative to the car stopping, eg lapped cars will record their stop on a lap behind what the leader was currently on.

    plushpile replied to the forum topic Webber to retire? in the group Group logoF1 2 months ago

    Five years is a long deal for a bloke who’s 36 years old… particularly one who has regularly said F1 is the pinnacle of motor racing and might want to just catch some waves instead.

    Yep, I think @Pelican has probably found the most common sense reason why this wouldn’t happen – weather.

    Here I am voting now with 603 votes cast and the discrepancy still remains.

    As I see it there’s simply a difference in perception.
    As some people have noted if Webber had been the one to pass Vettel then he […]

    When were Mark and Seb in close range at Brazil. Surely Horner can’t be referring to 2012?
    2011 would make sense.

    plushpile commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    More political than the Prost-Senna or Mansell-Piquet battles of the 80s with drivers getting preferential engines, (generally) fewer pit stops…
    Less political than Austria 2002? USA 2002?
    Somehow I doubt […]

    plushpile commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    Webber could have easily taken the title instead of Vettel in 2010.

    Which would have been off he back of terrible reliability for Vettel’s car, and near perfect reliability for Webber’s.

    Webber is more […]
