Yeah, so that the undercut into an overcut, common practice back then, so what’s your point?

The biggest drawback from opposing the switch to bigger rims is that this in fact means Michelin won’t make a bid to become F1’s tyre supplier which is a pity. I still genuinely believe they could do a better job […]

Refuelling would end under-fuelling strategies (highlight RBR 2010-2013) that further monopolize the pole sitter.

Not even that, the 100kg of fuel per race rule was always going to stay regardless of in-race refueling.

They start the weekends with 13 sets and by the time qualifying starts there are 4 sets of primes and 3 sets of options left (except for maybe one used set of primes they’re usually all fresh). There’s also that […]

Whenever a team scored a 1-2 in Melbourne (1996, 1998, 2000, 2004, 2009) it went on to also win the constructor’s title and the victorious driver won the driver’s championship that same year.

I wonder why everybody expected a big change in livery just because of McLaren’s new partnership with Honda. In the past a new engine manufacturer hardly ever meant a change in team colours, the title sponsor is […]

Actually I think that petrol/green is one of the most appealing elements and accents of their livery respectively their corporate design and I’d like their livery to have feature much more of it. I love Mercedes’ […]

The sound in the fly-by is significantly different from last year’s Mercedes, isn’t it? And I don’t think it’s just the higher pitch there.

From what was said about Jules hitting the JCB sideways, this is very worrying since once again the driver’s head is exposed while the car goes underneath the truck which means serious head injuries are to be […]

For 27 consecutive races now victory was taken by either Mercedes or Red Bull. There hasn’t ever been a streak of two teams splitting race wins for as many GPs as that in history of Formula 1 championships with […]

Considering the DRS-talk about today’s race: I think we got a widely inconclusive picture about DRS all season long since the major variable and force here are the differing top speeds of the cars. Things would […]

Fully agree on an annoying Gerhard Berger. I really like him as a person but he’s just too biased to serve as a co-commentator – and hasn’t been instructed to actually stop talking when there are team radio […]

So, heavy rainstorms as the GP2 field headed out into the grid. That kind of weather might help Mercedes decide on a pit lane start. But if it gets dry at some point in the race – which is likely to happen as it […]

Side to side has actually always been in place, that connection is called anti-roll bars. The difference is that these bars don’t actually have an impact through movement (in contrast to hydraulic systems, where […]

Anyone else feeling the same way about Formula1.com’s race edits this year? While I’ve been really looking forward to these action packed and well directed cuts race after race for the past years they’ve somehow […]

So, since fans seem to really dislike this idea we can safely assume it’ll be introduced!

When did safety car periods become a show element rather then a necessity to ensure the safety of track personnel and […]

I though about just that during the race as well but as Lewis mentioned after the race, they have one single guy at the team who is keeping an eye on their drivers strategy. And for the team there is no point in […]

then again, it was set on super-softs while last year’s Bahrain GP was driven on hard and medium compounds. we don’t quite know how much more conservative (e.g. harder) this year’s tyres are though.
