Max Jacobson commented on the post, Vote for your 2013 Bahrain GP driver of the weekend 1 month ago
@um1234 +1! I think the fact qualifying is part of the weekend is often overlooked when people vote – for driver of the race he’d be a sure candidate, but he didn’t do well enough in qualifying.

@um1234 Let’s not forget he will go up 2 places for Hamilton and Webber penalties. And remember what he did in Australia from 7th. Of course this track is dry.

@um1234 Of course it’s easy to forget that Ferrari and McLaren were on the same tyres in 2000 and 2001. And as we saw in 2005, Ferrari being the only car on Bridgestones worked against them, so it shouldn’t be […]

@um1234 I think that’s why though. They do have so much potential they’re at a point where it’s probably easier to win a race than not!

@um1234
The last two races in Monza have been one-stoppers, so I very much doubt that this will have such increased tyre wear that it will require more, especially on medium and hards. -

@um1234 I believe that China last year was the best possible use of DRS. I remember there still being a question of ‘will he, won’t he?’ as the drivers approached the hair-pin leading to the final […]
