Front brake balance doesn’t make the rear twitchy, it does exactly the opposite: it increases understeer dramatically.

I understand and I’m entirely with you on that, In an ideal world, drivers would be driving around in the fastest safest cars possible, evenly matched, and pushing the entire race. But I admit I didn’t express […]

No, that’s not true at all. They were forced to save fuel. In 1984 there were fuel regulations introduced. Namely in-race refueling was banned, the fuel tank was mandated to be positioned in the center of the car […]

Let me help you with that, how about…
1984 – save fuel
1985 – save fuel
1986 – save fuel
1987 – save fuel
1988 – save fuelAnd the 80s are generally considered the golden era of Formula One, right? […]

I don’t think you can, because there are more substantial differences between the two than the tyre rules to account for the differences in quality of racing.

You can’t really compare touring car racing with formula racing, though.

This was in reply to @fosrone. My internet was acting up. And I can’t delete this.

You’ve got to be kidding. It was so close with the Lotuses for over half the race.

I agree with the comment of the day. The DRS rules are too complex for such a simple goal: having a car being able to closely follow another. But I think they can be revised to a point where they can be effective. […]

I’m all for the improved efficiency of the cars from DRS, it always made little sense to me that such high-tech cars would be so wasteful of energy at higher speeds, where they don’t really need the extra […]

Is this certain? It may also be an engine mode or something like that.

No, not every opportunity. Only at the exact same place on the following laps and only if DRS didn’t provide the overtaking driver with a much bigger advantage, which is frequent.
Claidheamh commented on the post, Hamilton: Mercedes aren't in a position to win yet 10 years, 1 month ago
One good thing to try with DRS, without changing much of its current philosophy, would be having it enabled for activation whenever you are inside, say, 100 meters (maybe have this distance be the parameter to […]

People tend to polarise and forget there’s something between the extremes. There are more alternatives than just no DRS or the current DRS. The fact that I don’t like DRS the way it is at the moment doesn’t mean […]

Kobayashi’s podium at Suzuka was an amazing moment with which to end a relatively dull race. The chants of “Kamui” before he came out sent shivers down my spine.

Yes, one should always check the talk pages.

Well, you can always correct it, @lustigson.
