Piero

That would apply if they were already bunched up behind the SC, but they weren’t at that point. Drivers normally keep driving pretty fast (but above a minimum time set by the FIA) until they catch the SC (unlike […]

Is it? What comes to your mind when you remember the 99 season? Mika Hakkinen WDC or Ferrari WCC? Or 2008? Was it the year of Lewis or the year of Ferrari?

Hahaha, Perez must be a freaking Senna-level talent because he he is beating Esteban “would wipe the floor wth Verstappen” Ocon 6-1 in races and qualy (and that one in qualy was because a Q1 yellow flag).

Exactly… so basically 2 points lost. I’d actually contend that Perez would have finished behind both Ferraris and it was neutral in terms of points.

They have a 42 points lead on Toro Rosso. Unless something […]

The new chart for all laps is horrible. I used to love coming here to compare teammates, now there is now way to filter down to just two drivers.

Both penalties were a stretch, frankly. Ridiculous that every incident needs a penalized “guilty” party. This is racing.

They did not cost them points, though, as both Force Indias were 17.5s from Nasr in the […]

No rule against doing Q3 on the harder tyre, if it suit the driver’s fancy.

Really wanted to give my vote to Perez for his impressive 16th to 6th drive, which was particularly special if you compare it to Button’s attempt at doing the same strategy in a faster car than the Force India […]

Nah, that wasn’t wheel to wheel, he was at least two cars length ahead at his braking point, no one would expect such a dive from the inside.

It was 100% his corner… and he did leave a bit of space, even though Maldonado was a long way back when he started braking, 2 cars length at least. 100% on Maldonado.

Esteban is actually running with gold instead of yellow in races, but I have seen him use the yellow lid in practice sessions.

No. Why? Because Hamilton already proved himself without such a huge advantage and Rosberg, if he wins it, will do it against a proved champion like Hamilton.

One thing is to take Cecotto’s family money for a day of testing, and a very different is to give that talentless mug a racing seat. I don’t think Toro Rosso is going there.

Da Costa, Sainz Jr, Calado, Magnussen, Frinjs, Rossi getting fair shots.

But what the hell is Cecotto doing there? And this Sato guy, he paid $250,000 for the Sauber day.

He will test with Mercedes.

I think he was very solid, considering he started 19th after the penalty. Also 0.2s off Hulkenberg in Q1 and 0.4 in Q2, no cars in between.

The problem with passing was that the Sauber struggles with straight […]
