@tdog mine’s gone as well – it is related to the site problems.

(@tdog) I understand what you’re trying to say, but I think the issue isn’t necessarily the lap times per-se, more the Pirelli effect on the potential lap times. The cars have clearly grown quicker, as the […]

@tdog, Yes, but the 2012 tyres were already bad, these are worse not better.
I am not concerned about the ultimate race time, in fact I would be happy to see lap times increase if it allowed for close car on car racing.

@tdog, 7 seconds slower than Maldo in a Williams, wow, that’s progress. How did it compare with the previous 10 races, or for that matter 20 and 30 years ago ?

@tdog
Fastest qualifying time:
2005 – 1:14:819 (just taking run one into account)
2013 – 1:20:718

Fastest lap:
2005 – 1:15:641
2013 – 1:26:217

Race time:
2005 – 1:27:16.830
2013 – 1:39:16.596

So in […]

@prisoner-monkeys +1 again.
@tdog There are excuses, damn excuses, and Autosport trying to justify poor performance of Brits.

@tdog I don’t have a subscription. Could it be possible for you to give an overview of what exactly is written there? Thanks..

@tdog @vettel1 @bascb

I think all of you are ignoring the fundamental dynamic of a single-make series. Pace is 9/10ths of the title, and da Costa has much more pace, in race trim, than anyone else. There was a […]

@tdog – If Williamson is the kind of driver who needs a few races to get used to machinery, then he probably wouldn’t be going any further than GP3. Just look at the man who replaced him in Fomula Renault: Antonio […]

Thanks for the post @tdog, I had wanted to point that out too. It certainly seems far from clear cut for one driver in the series.

@tdog I’m kind of inclined to agree here: he didn’t look particularly impressive last week but that may be a short-term thing. It did highlight the fact he’s not invincible though – I thought he’d walk the […]

@tdog I doubt the 2012 tyres would end up like Bridgestones, we’d still need at least one stop per race. That does mean therefore that you can gamble on doing a no stop, which I would like as it keep the strategic […]

@hwkii @kcarrey @omarr-pepper @tdog As I write this there’s a mention for Senna in the strapline at the top of the home page, and it’s also on the F1 Fanatic Twitter, Facebook and Google+ presences.

I don’t […]

@tdog

Shouldn’t the dominant criterion for proposed changes to the rules not be “is this so bad it will stop me watching” but rather “is this good for the sport”?

Well said.

@tdog @matt90 @celeste The sad situation about this small teams is that they can’t really move to a “plan B”, they need that prize money due to the lack of sponsors eager to level the team’s money (if they are […]

@tdog Agree, logic should be

“is this good for the sport?”

And how do you know that´s not their logic?
As fans we only get very little of the information that decision are being making on. We in the light […]

@tdog +1…Bianchi will know how HULK felt last year…

+1 @tdog

Agreed @tdog.

@tdog

I have no idea how Horner handles this

He doesn’t. Horner tries to appease everyone, and only succeeds in emboldening everyone.

Perhaps he should be the Secretary-General of the United Nations, rather […]
