When Rosberg retired, there were a couple of days where I had some conversations and phone calls, but there was no point to discuss anything because I was happy at McLaren. https://images.scribblelive.com/2017/2/27/af62d4c3-88e9-4e0e-9821-1e00b43a182d_800.jpg My situation was clear: I had this year...
Would a wet test not have made more sense at Paul Ricard where they have a dedicated sprinkler system for wetting the track. http://e2.365dm.com/16/01/16-9/20/2016-paul-ricard-wet-test_3406051.jpg?20160126154459 I'm pretty sure this was on the table, as was a hot test in Bahrain, but the teams didn...
Solution to Pirelli's wet weather problems: ask Michelin or Bridgestone. No issues in the mid 00's. Gary Anderson said today that drivers have complained about the inadequacy of wet tyres for as long as he has been involved in F1. I wonder how much of this 'increased' moaning is a result of social ...
That can work with Spec tyres but, apparently, Pirelli seems too imcompetent for it(what could else be?). However, on tyre war situations, manufacturers will always develop specialised(even several types of compounds for dry weather like "hot soft" for specific temps) tyres that will be i...
what is the penalty again if you don't stop for the mandatory tyre change? Depending on the circumstances, DQ or +30 secs after the race: k) Unless he has used intermediate or wet-weather tyres during the race, each driver must use at least two different specifications of dry-weather tyres during t...
Problem McLaren are suffering from this week is an intermittent electrical shutdown. They have canceled all media briefings previously scheduled for today. I hear that is because they can't gets the lights working in their motorhome The lights aren't the problem; it's the power source: http://www.t...
Big fat slicks, 3 solid elements (one base plane, one element for left and one element for right) for front wings with no gaps, slots or holes in the elements. 2 element rear wing, uniform shape (no scoops, elements must not dip or rise along the horizontal). No flow conditioners, shark-fins, wingl...
I don't accept "F1 is hard to pass, this is the way its always been" as an argument. Just because it goes in the wrong direction with some rule sets (1994 especially) but no rule set is ever permenant I've never understood this argument, particularly as you have to ignore pretty much all ...
Steel brakes and bias-ply tires. Problem solved. I'm not sure the Pirellis are radial tyres. When they re-entered in F1, I think I remember reading that their tyres weren't exactly radial IIRC they have some kind of hybrid (ho ho) between a normal radial and belted bias - certainly looks non-radial...
What is it with F1 and favoring dictatorships? I thought Carey was an opposite of Bernie, but guess I was wrong. Still waiting for North Korean GP. I think that's a hypocritical argument. After all, why are we then racing in the US? I'd welcome the return of the Istanbul circuit. Hopefully one or t...
