    TribalTalker commented on the post, Hamilton believes title win is ‘not impossible’ 5 days, 19 hours ago

    Mercedes have almost equalled last year’s points haul after just 7 races. If they carry on at the same level, they should score about 360 points this year, a solid third place in the constructors championship if […]

    …so I said to Nico, “How are you going to treat the tyres?”
    He said he was just happy to have a good long “P” on them.
    And he’s winning – maybe he’s onto something?

    TribalTalker commented on the post, How the Monaco Grand Prix unfolded on team radio 3 weeks ago

    He did what he was told for 70-odd laps, probably champing at the bit the whole way.
    Yes the team worries that he’ll break the car, but on the other hand a happy driver is a better driver.
    I wouldn’t want to be […]

    (Sorry – rest of my post went missing)…

    However, Pirelli can provide the data logging and tyre technicians.
    It seems likely that Mercedes engineers learned very little from the testing of unmarked tyres. The […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Monaco stewards refer Mercedes protest to FIA 3 weeks, 3 days ago

    Imagine that you are running Pirelli. Your name is mud in all the F1 press. Many of the big teams are complaining very strongly about aspects of your key, headline product.
    You have to do something, quickly, to […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Boullier criticises Pirelli tyre tweaks 1 month ago

    @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 […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix result 1 month, 4 weeks ago

    I was killing time, playing “fantasy F1 team” with some friends recently and we all chose (argued about) our favourite pairs of drivers. But we all forgot Vettel. He’s a 3-time WDC and we forgot about him… why? […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Moss doubts women have “mental aptitude” for F1 2 months ago

    +1 – Good comments.

    Some of your comments about good looks and being media savvy could equally be applied to certain male racers – indeed, Jenson Button used to be derided as a playboy. Maybe the only way to […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Moss doubts women have “mental aptitude” for F1 2 months ago

    In defense of Stirling Moss, none of us has direct evidence that women can be successful in Formula 1.
    However, I think that we have plenty of evidence that many fewer women get into motor racing at all. The […]

    Don’t get me wrong, I love Malaysia. Friendly people, great food, beautiful country – but having lived there, it really could be so much more. There are many pockets of excellence but the general attitude (for […]

    I loved the comment of the day from @FormulaLes. It brought back happy memories of living and working in Kuala Lumpur, shuttling back and forth to Technology Park Malaysia in Bukit Jalil (on the way to […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Red Bull and Mercedes not the only ones resorting to team orders 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    The Red Bull and Mercedes team orders cannot be compared in any way.

    According to Ross Brawn, neither of the Mercs had enough fuel to dice it out to the end. As a team principal, at that point he had to make a […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Which team has the best driver line-up for 2013? 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    You’re right of course, a mature Grosjean could have huge potential but right now he’s still an unknown quantity. The question is, how much did he learn last year?

    And I forgot to say that I picked the Ferrari […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Which team has the best driver line-up for 2013? 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    What a great question we’ve been set by Keith – great captions on the driver pics, and what an interesting range of responses.

    The blurb for Max Chilton made me grin – that must have been hard to write. […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, When was the podium filled with champions? 4 months ago

    We have key players like Sir Jackie Stewart to thank for the pattern of these stats. In days gone by the driver attrition rate (death or serious injury) was so high that there were many fewer active champions. […]
