And it seems pretty clear that standard DRS is overly adequate in the races themselves anyways. Any car that gets into the DRS zone seems to breeze by on most tracks. It largely only of any real use in qualy. It would be very interesting to see how Mercedes would be placed in qualifying with their system removed.
Yes, but is it now clear that the development costs for a team to add it to a car retrospectively and probably less effectively than Mercedes, do not justify themselves for the maybe limited performance gains. Are not there more performance/cost avenues to go down for other teams. Will they now bother to persue the Double DRS?
Thinking again though actually. As I asked before, does anyone have the figures on Michael’s reliability compared with Nico in the previous years? What’s the picture with comeback Schumacher as a whole?
For me points well taken on Schumacher. Was never saying he was a Car breaker, just interested in the possibility wether he could be or not. I’m new to this site and am here and want to learn. Throwing briefly back though… Mansell car breaker? People seemed very often sure of this at the time.
Does anyone have any kind of stats on Schumachers reliability compared with Nico in the first two seasons? I’m not attacking Michael. I’m not a long term fan, I was a Senna man ; but I still just about aknowledge that Shui is the greatest. Just interested if the car breaker idea carries any weight, generally and if there is any possibility that Comeback Michael fits this description, purely as a point of interest. Would still love to see him win another race!
Don’t get me wrong I loved our Nige and I honestly think that Mansell on a charge was the better of any driver ever. It finally took though a, yes complicated, but bullet proof in that he probably didn’t have to push fully to his llimit and switch into charge mode every race to get his dominant wins and seal a Championship. I’m only speculating that for any driver, maybe pushing and charging on and off strains many elements of an F1 car. This of course is very much what is happening in 2012 with stages of tyre protection and then pushing again and then saving the tyres for another charge. F1 cars are so reliable now generally because of the engine and gearbox multi race requirements. I just wonder if it is maybe the Drivers who drive most in bursts like this who are having more reliability woes?
I think the sky title sequence is inspired. Good to know what the tune is finally. Thanks. If everything about the coverage was as good, they would on to a real winner. Their pre-season trailers were awesome too. The end result of the final show is far from perfect, but also far from terrible. I watch the practice on Sky now and when live everthing else BBC.
