    HoHum commented on the post, Honda “confirm” plan to return with McLaren in 2015 2 months, 1 week ago

    @ral, pardon me, should have re-read the article after 8hrs. sleep before responding, but my point is that there is nothing to back-up that statement in the text of the article or a link to any official […]

    @ral, if you read that in the Autosport article you have better eyes than I do.

    @ral If the cars have less Mechanical grip, then proportionally they will be using more aero grip than normal.

    So if anything it would have made then even more aero dependent, as whilst in dirty air there […]

    @Ral, interestingly, the GPUpdate.net article says they spoke to him exclusively: “GPUpdate.net spoke exclusively with the Dutchman ahead of his seat fitting on Monday”, but there are no canine references in the […]

    @ral you can – with a 5 place grid penalty. Obviously now the grid penalty costs nothing, so…

    katederby replied to the forum topic Webber – "friendly fire"? in the group Group logoF1 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    Agree with @Ral I seem to recall Webber using the expression “friendly fire” to refer to internal mechanical issues, often the KERS failures that have affected his car so often.
    And Webber did release a heavily […]

    @Ral Very good there, Ral.

    My retort is that I have written a considerable number of comments on this site outside of the basic form of mere prose and have utilised iambic pentameter on a few occasions. Sadly, […]

    If that’s how it went @ral, the guy who decided that never got marketing – due to those tweets Pirelli became accessible and had direct contact, interaction even, with fans.

    @Ral – regarding Sutil, from what I know he shook hands with Eric Lux and it’s all in the past for both of them now. So it isn’t that unlikely, even though yes, D’Ambrosio still seems a much reasonable […]

    Wow, that is great. Really good thinking to just keep the car straight, and the wheels as well. That did not only minimize the risk of something, or someone making his head into a pancake, but as that link […]

    @Ral I’m not 100% happy with how this works at the moment either. It an unsatisfactory compromise between offering the information in a useful form immediately after the race and in the archive. It was changed […]

    @ral

    I think those polls had a lot of knee-jerk reaction voters and I would argue were pretty much knee-jerk reactions themselves.

    I agree and that’s exactly why I waited a few days before running the poll […]

    I recognize part of what @ral mentions here. It would be nice to have an easier way of somehow grouping these race analyses pages in the articles overview, like having a tab for last race and be able to select an […]
