I hope it’s a small tweak rather than a totally different tire. I’m also glad they didn’t change the soft or super soft, partly because I want to see how these 2013 compounds behave at Monaco.

:(

Agreed, DRS should only be used on a few circuit per year such as Monaco. Or failing that, put it in a place where overtaking is difficult/uncommon. One example that I have seen folks suggest on this site is the […]

+1 if they are tied on wins then Hakkinen has a better race win:race start ratio.

Excellent COTD. The worst part of every single grand prix is the time wasted being talked down to.

I full-on guffawed @collettdumbletonhall , excellent

…I wonder whether tyres having had one all-out Q3 lap will still be usable for the race.

I was thinking about this as well, the 2013 tires have potential to make the Q3 tire rule even more nonsensical.

Opportunistic? In Australia he had a better start. At Spa his rivals were eliminated for him. In Brazil he was gifted track positions… Your examples do not show opportunism.

Nice post, @asanator.

So much for thinking they are impartial!

This is absurd, you have no evidence to back it up.

The biggest issue I have with this is that it doesn´t look good to see that a […]

To speak for fans, I think it goes back to what George was saying about Di Resta’s image in the media. It’s sort of nonexistent with his reserved style, plus one too many comments about the victimizing […]

I’m upset by this. I really wanted to see the teams juggle new engines and new aero design.

Arguably, comparing open-wheel to covered-wheel race cars is apples & oranges.

Totally agree with you two @necrodethmortem @icarus very well said

I think you’re right about the wing giving him more stability for the first two turns of the race, but he’ll be putting more energy into the tires so probably increased deg. And if Hamilton is at (gearbox limited) […]

I am of the opinion that the weather will wholly decide whether or not Button challenges a win – track temp, humidity, cloud cover, whether or not it rains before the race… I don’t understand his inconsistency […]

I’m pretty sure it’s a European thing, frites. I agree through, I read the first line as, “Rain is a rare sight at Spa-Francorchamps.” ;)

lol good way to look at it.
