Alesici commented on the post, Steiner reprimanded for calling Monaco Grand Prix stewards "laymen" 2 days, 2 hours ago
I know, right? They may be generally rubbish at stewarding, but this is quite excellent comedy by the FIA. It made my day.

Alesici commented on the post, Will Alonso deliver dream win for home fans? Seven Spanish GP talking points 1 week ago
No, I agree with the article. The chicane was introduced on grounds of safety. The lack of exit runoff was due to the proximity of the grandstand. The grandstand remains in place, but apparently it’s all perfectly […]

Alesici commented on the post, Ricciardo exclusive: I got back in the sim and thought: "Have I lost it?" 1 week ago
I thought that too, although you have to remember what Sainz used to say about how weirdly Mclarens handle too. Maybe it’s both combined…

Alesici commented on the post, Haas thrilled as upgrade performance exceeds wind tunnel predictions 1 week ago
One aspect I noticed in the Spa crash is that there is quite an extended absence of debris fencing on the left side exiting Radillon, with a few marshalls unprotected behind a small armco barrier. If cars went […]

Plus we had multiple near misses with pitcrews in Indy and with marshalls in Monaco. It was a pretty scary weekend.

Indycars also look like a lot more fun to race than F1. Obviously you don’t see much drifting on the ovals, but on the other circuits, the Indycars drivers are really wrestling their cars over bumps, regularly […]

Alesici commented on the post, Pictures: First look at Mercedes' major changes to its W14 1 week, 4 days ago
Thanks Andre for the support. But to be honest, I’m happy that Boomerang at least engaged on a technical discussion, which I embrace. My bible remains Milliken & Milliken’s Race Car Vehicle Dynamics, but maybe […]

Alesici commented on the post, Why did Honda leave F1, then return – and has it lost ground in the meantime? 1 week, 6 days ago
Also, Indycars have been running on biofuel for about 15 years.

Alesici commented on the post, Pictures: First look at Mercedes' major changes to its W14 1 week, 6 days ago
@Dex, they are copying the Red Bull suspension. They can’t switch from pull rod to pushrod mid-season, but they can, and have, massively increase the amount of anti dive. Look at how much higher the front top […]

Alesici commented on the post, F1's engine noise debate went quiet. Does it still need to turn up the volume? 2 weeks, 1 day ago
If only F1 would realise that the 2 main reasons for switching to the hybrids were both a load of rubbish. The first reason was that it will attract road car manufacturers because they can improve their road […]

Alesici commented on the post, The first Formula 1 race cancelled by climate change is unlikely to be the last 2 weeks, 5 days ago
It would be nice if there was an option on this site for me to personally filter out selected people from my view of the comments. Does this option exist? Could it be added? I love the site’s articles, but I’m […]

Alesici commented on the post, F1 drivers explain why DRS tweaks is just one reason passing is getting harder 1 month ago
Yes, absolutely. I forgot to mention push to pass. It’s more than just the cancelling out problem of the DRS train. The power ‘gain’ from DRS is proportional to the cube of the speed, which is a big reason why […]

Alesici commented on the post, F1 drivers explain why DRS tweaks is just one reason passing is getting harder 1 month ago
Nobody seems to have grasped the solution. I thnk I have. In the decade leading up to 2021, the cars developed very clever ways of inducing aerodynamic vortices (like micro horizontal tornadoes) along the sides […]

Alesici commented on the post, Chance of thunderstorms on Sunday could lead to first wet race of 2023 in Miami 1 month ago
@Jogo, just telling people to watch one of the most traumatising accidents I’ve ever seen without any kind of warning is a bit irresponsible. I’ve not been able to unsee it in the 30 years since.

Alesici commented on the post, FIA clarifies rule which caused Alonso penalty confusion in Jeddah 2 months, 1 week ago
Nah, SteveP, that doesn’t count, as in that case, it’s the car that’s touching the jack, rather than the jack touching the car. Of course, if that stands, then the team will design clever suspension that brings […]

Did you bother to watch this race before posting about its review? Or any of this year’s races? FE races tend to be a bit quieter in the first half and then very often go crazy in the latter third. So for you to […]

Can anyone confidently tell me how wide the grid box is that they have to fit the 2m wide car into? I’d appreciate it.

I remember at an Autumn British Touring Car race day at the Silverstone National circuit in 1993, we could hear amazing sounding F1 cars simultaneously testing on the South circuit, and the poor stewards clearly […]

Alesici commented on the post, Wolff: 'Another really bad start' for Mercedes won't drive Hamilton elsewhere 3 months ago
I prefer to call it Indycar – … Was nice to listen to Marcus Armstrong talk about how he saw Indycar as much more of a driver’s series than F1, as it’s so much more difficult to continually wrestle control […]

Alesici commented on the post, As Andretti seeks F1 entry, can it produce its first IndyCar champion in a decade? 3 months, 1 week ago
For those on the fence, I heartily recommend checking out Indycars. It’s just like early 90s Formula 1. Drivers wrestling monsters, frequently drifting sideways over really bumpy undulating circuits. The spectacle […]
