    socksolid commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Chinese Grand Prix 2 months ago

    @baron
    I think the reason why two cars with different strategies never raced each other in china was simply that the drs was so powerful. It was automatic overtaking when you got close enough to the car in front. […]

    socksolid commented on the post, 2013 Chinese Grand Prix tyre strategies and pit stops 2 months ago

    That was really all about button ending the race with very light car and the softer tires (that’s when the button’s fastest lap was done?) while perez used his softer tires earlier in the race and in the end of […]

    “if he felts ashamed with it in Mal gp, he should’ve let his faster teammate through. Not saying sorry on the podium LOL.”

    To hold positions or not was not his choise and not for him to choose either. That call […]

    @JamieFranklinF1
    I think you read a bit too much into the perceived characteristics of the drivers. I would not be so fast to describe kimi as undedicated simply because he looks like so in TV. What happens with […]

    socksolid commented on the post, Showers threaten build-up to first race 3 months, 1 week ago

    Pullrod can not create tyre temperature. Different suspension geometry can do that and for rain there is nothing in pullrod suspension that would make it better in the rain or for creating tyre temps.

    socksolid commented on the post, Caterham face struggle to become points contenders 3 months, 1 week ago

    I’d be incredibly surprised to see either caterham or marussia to score points this year. The whole battle for 10th position is also getting kinda rediculous imho when neither of these teams can not compete with […]

    socksolid commented on the post, Bianchi takes Razia’s place at Marussia for 2013 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    This season does not look very good for marussia and caterham. Until last season it was still possible to say with an honest face that maybe some day these teams will get their act together and start showing some […]

    socksolid commented on the post, Why You Should Watch… NASCAR 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    One of the reasons that I can’t watch nascar live is the huge amount of adverts during the show. You basically get 5 minute advert breaks every 10 minutes. For someone who has gotten used to watching f1 without […]

    socksolid commented on the post, Pic: Engine and KERS biggest changes from Marussia 4 months, 1 week ago

    That should not be a surprise to anyone because the caterham for this year is essentially the same car they used last year.

    Different times.

    socksolid commented on the post, ‘I wouldn’t have kept Massa’, says Horner 6 months ago

    I think it is the exact opposite. Massa just shines under pressure. The more pressure you put on him the better he performs. I’d assume a racing driver will feel extra bit of pressure in these kind of situations […]

    socksolid commented on the post, Top ten passes of 2012: Vote for the best 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    And that was on damp track with slicks. Kimi even goes over the wet kerbs but keeps the car in perfect balance. Just excellent driving. You can see räikkönen’s front wing touches schumi’s front tire at one point […]

    socksolid commented on the post, Midfield target remains an elusive goal for Caterham 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    I did race by race analysis a while back and when you leave out incidents and DNFs for various reasons kovalainen had the upper hand in 5 races and petrov in 4 races out of 9 races where the results were […]

    socksolid commented on the post, HRT’s failure is a small but significant loss for F1 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    @hobo
    I don’t think brawn is any kind of example of low spending. When that car was being built by honda they (honda) spent probably more money than anyone before that. The brawn car is probably the most […]

    socksolid commented on the post, HRT’s failure is a small but significant loss for Formula One 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    Your analogy is wrong though. There is no requirement to buy 10000$ TVs in f1 nowadays. The 40M limit did not come but that doesn’t mean you absolutely need to spend more than 500$.

    So when you were buying that […]

    I’d not say petrov has outclassed heikki in any way. Look at the races, look at the lap times, look at pitstop lengths. Heikki has been solid performer, petrov just got lucky few times. Let’s not forget who has […]

    Kovalainen 10th? That’s just amazingly impressive!

    socksolid commented on the post, F1 “played NASCAR” with safety car, say Force India 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    Didn’t the same debris cause rosberg’s tire to blow? Maybe safety car was a bit overkill as local yellows might have been enough but it is hard to say how much debris there actually was on the track…
