They came in the last race leading the championship over Vettel. They lost the title THAT DAY due to any other reason than Vettel’s bad luck in 2010. I don’t understand what Vettel’s woes have to do with what […]

I got involved because neither of the “issues” Webber had, really affected his ability to win the championship. In Brazil, he wasn’t challenging Vettel anyway. In UAE, as I’ve already said, MW’s performance caused […]

@klaas

As I mentioned above, there was no way they could execute the strategies since they were flawed from the beginning. They only could work if the other cars went for another pit-stop which never […]

@klaas – The technical failure MW suffered are dwarfed by Vettel’s, and didn’t even cost him anything. The strategy issue you cite cropped up due to a lack of driver performance, which forced a gamble. Whether the […]

@lebesset
Seriously? There were more overtakes in 2010 than there were in any year since 1993, without refueling, mostly without undercutting with tyres, and without highway DRS passes.

@klaas –
For me, you’re fishing for excuses when you blame the team for Webber losing the championship and citing these so-called “troubled races”.

In Abu Dhabi, yes, Webber could have won the title, but his […]

@klaas

No really, leaving the b-as apart, the main reason Alonso or Webber lost that championship was due to that poor strategy their respective teams chose for tham and it had nothing to do with driving.

As […]

@klaas – Do you really believe Webber would have won Brazil? Why ignore his inability to qualify better than any of the other frontrunners (except Massa) in Abu Dhabi in the first place?

@davef1 – The crash kid nickname wasn’t exactly fair though, looking back at it. He had 2 crashes in that season. Even his mid-30s teammate had more than that.

I also assume “anon” was referring exclusively to […]

@klaas

No really, leaving the bias apart, the main reason Alonso or Webber lost that championship was due to that poor strategy their respective teams chose for tham and it had nothing to do with driving.

Exactly, the 2010 regulations, minus DDDs, EBDs and possibly F-ducts, were fine. If anything, these ridiculous tyres just negate the refuelling ban. Before they stayed out on light fuel when others pitted to […]

@andae23

I see your point there, but I prefer teams that make their own chassis and engines and would rather see car brands, than Red Bull or HRT which are just ridiculous.

My problem with all of this, is that it’s a change based off one track where RB struggled, it wasn’t decided on a selection. Barcelona is known to eat tyres.

@nomore

Diffirent story then, as firstly then not everyone had the same tyre unlike here, and there the Michelin groves flattened to near them as sleeks.

*also have

@andae23

I disagree with your point considering how privateers also sporadic appearances with the exception of Williams and McLaren. Engines suppliers too.

The dream would be Aston Martin vs Ferrari vs Porsche…
I know, impossible, but that excites me than rather Red Bull Renualt and McLaren Honda.

*these half

I’ll rather see full works team like Audi vs Peugeot vs Ferrari vs Mercedes than this half breeds.
