    TribalTalker commented on the post, Boullier criticises Pirelli tyre tweaks 6 days, 9 hours 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 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 1 month, 1 week 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 1 month, 1 week 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 […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Ecclestone: Red Bull and Mercedes wrong to use team orders 1 month, 4 weeks ago

    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 […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Ecclestone: Red Bull and Mercedes wrong to use team orders 1 month, 4 weeks ago

    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 1 month, 4 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? 2 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? 2 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? 3 months, 1 week 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. […]

    I must say I had a chuckle at the bit about JB:
    “The final red flag came with five minutes to go when Jenson Button came to a stop. He inspected the left-rear of the McLaren, then had to steady it to keep it from […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Susie Wolff to be first to drive Williams FW35 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    Wow, y’all come across as redneck misogynists.
    Frank Williams is a tough, tough guy. He doesn’t hand out prime seats for testers to just anyone – there can be no doubt in his mind at least that Susie Wolff is a […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Wolff plays down ‘Brawn out, Lowe in’ rumours 4 months ago

    @f1lauri I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. The interesting question is, what will Mercedes do with 2 “teams” come 2014? If I was Ross Brawn and I wanted to retire, or my doctor had told me to retire or die, […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, First pictures of Hamilton at Mercedes 4 months ago

    Great photos – especially the two with classic racing cars. HAM will be in seventh heaven there – I bet he wanted to drive them all.
    I hope HAM settles in well. The factory staff looked happy but expectant – “Who […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, The 2013 F1 season: What we know so far 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    @MaxJacobson: “One could draw comparisons between the throttle pedal and DRS”
    With respect, I think that it’s a very bad comparison. A good driver has control and feel for the throttle pedal. DRS is an on/off switch.

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Is Mercedes the right move for Hamilton? 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    Hamilton leaving McLaren – My first reaction was surprise and shock. It’s like your first-born child leaving home.
    On the other hand, Hamilton isn’t daft. He knows that the engine manufacturers will have a […]

    TribalTalker commented on the post, Alonso equals Senna’s tally of 80 podiums 8 months, 2 weeks ago

    Yes – strange isn’t it? He’s such a nice, bright guy off track, great language skills, sense of fun… Yet on track, he’s different. Not a Maldonado, for sure, but maybe a bit too Schumacher.

    Maybe that’s just […]

    @wooly – Choose your ground carefully! Singapore may not be a great track for the McLarens. Monza isn’t like any other track on the calendar.

    Don’t get me wrong, I agree that HAM did a great job and stamped his […]

    Seventeen and a half miles per hour. Yes, I worked it out.

    I half expected the footage to have been taken at 50mph and just to look slow since we are used to race footage. But it really was glacial. Golf carts […]
