Happy for the podium places as they fought for their spots. From 4th and back it was really messy. One of the more disappointing races I have
watched in a while. I normally don’t mind the tyre challenge but this […] -

Wow, Considering Hamilton statements are were some of the most analyised and criticised in the whole paddock when he was at Mclaren. Not unfair, its to be expected.
Chico destroyed him today.

But if a driver has an accident in a race they get a free gearbox change for the next race. So why cant that apply if a driver has an accident in before Qualifying?
Think about how many times teams have garaged a […] -

Debris cause the tyre to fail, and through no fault of the driver or the team they get a penalty

Theoddkiwi commented on the post, Ecclestone: Bahrain “stupid” to put on race 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Wow the grid penalty for Hamilton is really harsh if the damage to his gearbox was a result of a tyre failure due to a damage from something on the track. Surely that would be considered accident damage and thus […]

Hamilton maintains his streak of having a pole position in every F1 season he has competed.
Now he just need to win a race and he will maintain his record as the only driver to have a pole and a win in every […]

I think the most interesting thing would have been if Merc had both Ros and Ham to do a qualifying run on the mediums at the very start of Q3, leaving enough time to run the Softs for a second run.
That would […]

I think your missing point of Ross Brawns comment. Lewis could go faster but he would run out of fuel. So it was not a lie. He told Rosberg Hamilton was driving to a set lap time. He also told him the bulls were […]

Theoddkiwi commented on the post, Were Red Bull & Mercedes right to use team orders? 1 month, 3 weeks ago
The fueling of the Mercs was as a result of two things. The race started out wet so they took an assumption that more of the race would be done on a wet track which requires less fuel. Secondly i don’t think Merc […]

Removing radios will not fix it as you can do it via pit board info, holding them in the pit for a few seconds longer, a pre arranged finishing order etc etc. I think the team s are too smart to enforce […]

So when team owner publicaly puts Webber down. When it’s clear Vettel was given a clear and specific in struction to hold position and he ignored it. Webber looks like the bad guy.

He also knew when to give up the fight against the Ferraris, both times effectively conceding position, knowing its not worth ruining the tyres and risk a collision, rather looking at the wider picture. I saw a […]

Not so sure about your analysis of Hamiltons third stint. I believe he had tha gap to webber to do the stop without loosing position. His laps on the last stint where as good as anyone’s.
Mercs first stint on […]

Here’s a hot tip. It’s called motor racing, we’re if one comes across another car in front of one must use skill and speed to pass that car. If one cannot get past that car the other car is NOT obliged to move out […]

I can assure you watching from turn 2 everyone slide about at one point or another. Button had a big slide, and vetted almost went on the grass too

The problem is that there were clear windows of light rain but due to the notification requirement they need to give the teams they kept missing the clearest parts if the weather. We even had sun on us at one point.

An interesting point to note regarding Mercedes in second practice. Lewis was P2 after a ten lap run on the mediums which he set his fastest time on the ninth lap. Vettel did his fast lap on the mediums on a 5 lap […]

Correct! there is so much expectation on Redbulls qualifying times, mostly due to the one season they had the EBD. Before that and after that they have not been anywhere near as dominating.
You can’t base one […] -
