An objective analysis? 7 > 2.

When the team releases a driver too early or fails to properly fasten a tire onto the car, it’s not just the driver who suffers. The whole team loses out. When a driver makes a mistake and bins in into the barrier, the whole team suffers as well. I have no problem with gearbox penalties being turned into grid drops and drive-through penalties for unsafe releases. They win and lose as a team.

I’m not blaming the drivers for exploiting DRS, and I’m not blaming DRS for being exploitable. I think having two zones was one too many, but DRS itself is not going away at this point, so it’s best to enjoy and actually appreciate the great battles and strategic moves created because of it. Naturally, that is just my opinion. That being said, on the next lap Hamilton almost was able to catch Alonso due to DRS, proving that DRS can allow an overtaken driver to attack back if he is not actually that much slower than the driver who passed him.
Also, I don’t recall saying it was dangerous. My opening comment was a jab at the Senna and Prost incident. Something I always find amusing.

This bit of strategic braking is amusing but also shows how quick witted both drivers were. I see no reason to condemn DRS for this as it was the drivers’ choices to brake on the straight, and it certainly didn’t pay off for Hamilton.

4th December 2012, 19:27 at 7:27 pm #217820xbx-117ParticipantI remember watching Tony Stewart race the Indy 500 and then the Coca-Cola 600 (I think it was still called that back then) back when I was first getting into racing. I always respected him for competing in both of those very long and demanding races, and it was a shame when he stopped doing it. Would love to see him have another go at it again after all these years.
7th November 2012, 20:43 at 8:43 pm #214745xbx-117ParticipantYeah, a woman losing her right eye is definitely worse than a nation using a Grand Prix to mask their oppressive regime while the F1 circus goes right along with it.
For me, the worst moment was hearing Schumacher was retiring. Hate to see him go out like this, but it has definitely been his strongest year and he did at least get a podium.
6th November 2012, 0:42 at 12:42 am #200349xbx-117ParticipantMan, that place is just getting ravaged by peaceful protesters.
7th October 2012, 21:00 at 9:00 pm #211818xbx-117ParticipantNo he doesn’t.
29th September 2012, 3:58 at 3:58 am #211469xbx-117ParticipantThe no food one is the only thing that really aggravates me (they only do it so you have to purchase food there). Everything else is pretty standard for the US.
Being in Texas though, I wonder how successful they will be with enforcing some of these restrictions, haha.
17th September 2012, 18:57 at 6:57 pm #210161xbx-117ParticipantThose are amazing. There’s really some gems in there; I’m considering changing my desktop from F1 to IndyCar for the first time ever, haha.
9th August 2012, 1:25 at 1:25 am #206853xbx-117ParticipantThey had enough resources to add cockpit view to all their other games. If they don’t mind losing that 5% of their potential customers (that including me), then so be it, but its a shame.
7th August 2012, 21:01 at 9:01 pm #206691xbx-117ParticipantAgreed, no signatures please.
16th May 2012, 4:23 at 4:23 am #201895xbx-117ParticipantHaha, art students. Pretty much sums it all up.
4th May 2012, 1:38 at 1:38 am #200321xbx-117ParticipantExcuse me if I don’t shed a tear over the fact that a herd of agenda-driven journalists were denied the ability to go to the country and write their sensationalist articles. Not that it really stopped them.
