@spawinte – “I thought the compounds were staying the same and it was the structure that was being changed”

If the tyre structure changes (internal cross-bracing and/or stiffer side walls for example) then the […]

If they removed DRS and degrading Pirellis and went back to processional races

@spawinte: I’d take a processional race where everyone is pushing for most of the 50-some laps over a processional race where […]

@spawinte Between this and the night race/first race rumors, I’m starting to think he’s putting significant pressure on Bahrain to pay more to keep the race on the calendar (and maybe even make it Race 1). He is […]

@spawinte And his name is Ma, it seems.

it may be necessary to force certain drivers through to blaze a trail for others to follow. You don’t have to like it but if you’re serious about having female drivers then it needs to happen.

@spawinte – this […]

@spawinte I doubt it… if Massa keeps himself close to Alonso, he’ll stay…

@spawinte, Bernie tried the subscription-direct route back in the 90′s with the option to choose to view whichever camera you wanted or all cameras at once etc. but being Bernie (who apparently uses his daughters […]

@spawinte – I have based all my comments on observation, expert analysis, press releases and of course the tests themselves. Purely from what I have seen, the Mercedes is undoubtably fast […]

@spawinte – So that everyone in the media gallery gets a better look at the car.

@spawinte – I don’t think the atmosphere at McLaren is anything to worry about. Drivers who join the team know what they are getting themselves into, so they can’t exactly turn around and complain about it once […]

@spawinte

This better not be about Marussia wanting another pay driver

Looks like it is:

Marussia confirm Glock’s departure

@spawinte Whatever’s at the root of it this can only be bad from Marussa’s point of view. Having continuity with Glock and being able to harness his experience was one of their strengths.

I don’t think we’re […]

@spawinte – it wasn’t the right decision, which I second!

@spawinte – And his good days come about more often than most other drivers ever in F1. When he drove for STR he pushed his cars far above its expectations on a consistent basis, and over at Red Bull, he has […]

@spawinte

He is flattered by his car more than any driver ever, even more than Schumacher was in his dominant years.

I take it you never watched Jacques Villeneuve struggling to win races in a car that was […]

@spawinte – Yet he has won various times on days when) haven’t necessarily been dominant, or even the fastest- Bahrain, or Spain last year. It’s unfair to clain that he hasn’t done so, and his rivals have, as if […]

@spawinte – Of course he needed some luck. No major comeback where you gain so many positions is done without luck. He also needed the speed and racecraft to pull off the necessary passes finish 3rd from 24th. And […]

@spawinte, foolish? Why? Because the team won’t destroy his races again? Did you count how many times Mclaren destroied his races, this year? If Ross Brawn will remain at Mercedes, I think Hamilton choosed the […]

@spawinte

I’m not saying I want drivers to die or even get hurt but I want the danger to be there.

Danger = risk of getting hurt

You don’t want drivers to get hurt, you just want them to risk getting […]
