A Red Bull fastest in the speed trap…

Can anyone remember the last time that was the case!?

@force-maikel Will Buxton said the last to do so was Louis Chiron in 1931.

:-)

Thats very likely the biggest part of it @hohum, although the changes they would have to make with the complete suspension setup etc, would also mean different aero design, the mechanical work would be pretty much […]

I thought Anthony Davidson found a better reason: he braked too late, locked up, and drove into the barrier.

Best thing @MercedesAMGF1 can do let one of the driver fly away while other hold the rest of the field behind him. Whichever Mercedes gets ahead of the other in turn 1 is the NUMBER 1 for the race, let that car […]

@theoddkiwi @lari Being outqualified 3 times in a row? That’s not common for Hamilton…

@omarr-pepper For sticking up for them (for once)?? Haha, 2012 Alonso was at his best but in 2010 he made quite a few costly mistakes (China, Spa, Monaco, Abu Dhabi) which cost him…

With all the respect I lost for him after Malaysia, it’s nice to hear him put his hands up and say “I made an oopsie”. Interesting to hear him claim how bad a lap it was, yet Webber said he was happy with his, […]

Alonso’s won 11 races since 2010, 5 in 2010, 1 in 2011, 3 in 2012 and 2 so far already in 2013, that’s more than Webber who has been in a Red Bull (4+1+2+0=7). Ferrari generally seem better on race day (especially […]

Fantastic performance by JEV, Rosberg, Sutil, Bottas and VDG. Guttierez worries me. Hulkenberg’s mistake in Q2 could also be highly costly. Hamilton’s lack of quali pace is a slight concern also, he’s usually one […]

Nice to hear him being honest about it.

Rosberg is usually quick in practice. Remember 2009 where he topped the timesheets often in practice, yet got 0 podiums that season.

After seeing part 2 – linked above, I also had a look at part 1.

Alonso doing it great, but with little margin for error. Grosjean much the same, Webber leaving a tad more room for error. Vettel going in with […]

@tophercheese21 its not just Lotus and Ferrari, but clearly FI has done the same with far less resources and it pays off.

Just as the teams that did bring a DDD in 2009 had an advantage, and Red Bull had an […]

Even with throwing together not really matching statistics, and coming up with a pretty arbitrary amount of 1 and 0,5 seconds to account for DRS in qualifying, his article is not really convincing.

I was about to post the same thing! Absolutely mental finish!! Puts the GP2 drivers to shame!

wow, you’re in Monaco? Nice.

Thanks for the update
