    Tricky commented on the post, Onboard with Michael Schumacher on the Nurburgring Nordschleife 3 weeks ago

    I think you can just hear Sabine Schmidtz saying “Ten minutes, I tell you something, I do that lap time in a van”.

    Tricky commented on the post, Alonso moves forward as Massa takes penalty 6 months, 4 weeks ago

    I don’t agree that it is within the rules or sporting traditions.

    McLaren were found guilty in 2007 of compromising one of its cars. The stewards decision was:
    “The actions of the team in the final minutes of […]

    Tricky commented on the post, Button to get five-place grid penalty at Suzuka 8 months, 2 weeks ago

    On Button’s penalty, the Autosport article says Hamilton will not get a penalty because he did not finish the race. But is this because it was shown the gearbox failed, or do you generally have the opportunity to […]

    Tricky commented on the post, Vettel demoted to fifth with 20-second penalty 11 months ago

    Several drivers were given 5 second penatlies in Valencia 2010.

    Although it was never explained how that was possible.

    Tricky commented on the post, Webber gives Red Bull third straight Monaco win 1 year ago

    I get the feeling the driver have been warned to back off when there are waved yellows (Vettel and Masa getting drive throughs in the last race for running fast under yellow flags) – and they extra emphasised it […]

    Tricky commented on the post, Massa believes he is getting closer to Alonso 1 year ago

    I think Ferrari’s moto is “Ferrari must win”.
    As it is, Massa is not adding a useful number of points to the WCC, and if he was closer to Alonso he would be taking points away from Ferrari’s competitors, in Spain […]

    Tricky commented on the post, Vettel says 20 races per year is near teams’ limit 1 year, 1 month ago

    I absolutely agree that the teams could gear up for more races if they wanted (certainly the big teams).
    They already wanted to go testing again this year.
    I think the downsides are more that the small teams […]

    Tricky commented on the post, DRS overtaking falls in first races of 2012 1 year, 1 month ago

    When we consider what DRS was meant to help, i.e. a reduction in downforce when running close behind a rival, its quite clear why we don’t like the solution, i.e. shedding downforce in a straight line.
    So the […]

    Tricky commented on the post, Should F1 change its tyre strategy? 1 year, 1 month ago

    Brawn took charge for one year at Honda, so could fully influence the development of the 2009 car with Honda’s big budget. He did a brilliant job, but he benefited from the rules change and the 2008 Honda being […]

    Tricky commented on the post, Massa denies Perez performance puts him under pressure 1 year, 2 months ago

    I agree that Massa’s performance was abysmal, let’s not forget that at one stage a Caterham was pulling away from him. But to base your hiring procedure on the performance of one driver in one race is not the […]

    Tricky commented on the post, Hamilton leads Vettel in first practice at Sepang 1 year, 2 months ago

    How many sets of tyres do they give back after practice? With so much wear, is their running severely limited if they don’t want to dip into their real tyres?

    Tricky commented on the post, 2012 Australian Grand Prix lap charts 1 year, 3 months ago

    With Button’s gap Mclaren really didn’t have to worry about Hamilton making the undercut in the stops, so really they could have pitted Hamilton first.
    As I understand it, LH had a pit stop in hand over Perez, […]

    Tricky commented on the post, Pirelli reveal softer compounds and new tyre colours for 2012 1 year, 4 months ago

    If Pirelli are keeping the same compounds (except the SS) and changing only the profile (which affects all tyres the same way) then how can they reduce the performance gap between the types?
