My Left Eye

I miss the “DRS Gimmick” choir!

Funny how the DRS Gimmick choir are silent……………………..

I’d argue that Norris was a hazard to others and himself while on slicks and pitting was essential and a safety call.

Genuine question, how was it confirmed? Not lazy as I have kept an eye out for evidence.

Thanks. I’ve not seen anything conclusive other than what LH said.

Did the wheel make contact with the helmet? Confused now as the article states “passing close”

Maybe Max saw you trying to reverse your car out back onto the track, if so…………..

Care to give a rundown on how Mercedes would have reacted had the driver roles been reversed. Start from where Toto smashes his fist on the table…………………………… ;-)

Ver turned right to round the corner leaving plenty of space for Ham. Ham understeered into the rear of the RB effectively forcing the RB to cross his path as the impact changed the attitude of the RB (rear wheel […]

If the driver roles were reversed I can just see Toto’s fist pounding his desk……….some think he’d just sit back and say “racing incident”

Maybe…….Lewis wrecked his fronts trying to pressure Max after the stop. Had he backed of a second or two he would have been better off for the last few laps when he really needed them.

“Hamilton……….Lewis Hamilton”

Nothing in the article about the MB rear wing appearing to flex just as much as the RB rear wing during practice. Hopefully we get to see views of MB and RB rear wings during the race outside of DRS activations.

I suspect the gun can indeed come in from a small angle, engage properly and then activate. I don’t believe that every team (especially MB) has to align their gun perfectly in order for it to land properly and fire.

And I’m sticking to my story that the gun was spinning before it engaged and it ate the drive fins/ears/lugs.

6/10ths. Who needs wind tunnels when there are such brilliant engineers available.

Yes but ;-) How do the mechanics spin them up testing before the cars arrive then? We hear it all the time. Maybe a safety lock to prevent early activation wasn’t engaged / failed. “Toto………….you can use […]

I can’t replay but was wondering if the wheel gun was triggered before it engaged and simply ‘blended’ the wheel nut.

Excuse me………. Russel handed second place to a lapped LH ;-)

Pity. I thought it gave a good indication of the ability of ‘that’ engine to efficiently extract power from fuel. Also driver ability to some extent.
