Dafffid commented on the post, Why Red Bull gave Kvyat (yet) another chance 4 years, 4 months ago
Bring back Jean-Éric Vergne – he had none of the luck but plenty of speed, and is a mature driver now. Far better bet than Kvyat who went backwards. If it had been appreciated at the time how good Ricciardo […]
Dafffid commented on the post, Hartley "feels a lot less pressure" at Toro Rosso now 4 years, 5 months ago
Why a driver of Vergne’s ability is out of F1, while a plodder like Hartley remains is another in a long line of mysteries….
Dafffid commented on the post, Alonso confirms he won't race in F1 in 2019 4 years, 5 months ago
Farewell Alonso. For all their rule changes and talk of improving the show yada yada, the number one reason why I and everyone I knew drifted away from following F1 to the degree we used to, is that internal team […]
Dafffid commented on the post, Ferrari confirm Raikkonen will drive for them again in 2018 5 years, 5 months ago
So many drivers we’d like to see given a top drive, and the way is always barred by those with not much more to offer. The principal potential interest of F1 is in how drivers compare – and we so rarely get to […]
Dafffid commented on the post, New 2017 rules introduced 'because Verstappen made F1 look easy' 5 years, 10 months ago
Which would be like changing Test cricket because Tendulkar made it look easy when he debuted at 16
Dafffid commented on the post, How do you explain F1's falling popularity since 2008? 7 years ago
For me it’s lack of competition between drivers. I don’t want to see Rosberg beaten by Lewis again and again. I want to see the new guys, Verstappen, Sainz, and the unfairly ignored guys, Hulkenberg, Perez etc. […]

Absolutely +1
Dafffid commented on the post, Raikkonen expects "great things" with Ferrari 7 years, 5 months ago
So we can watch Kimi get thrashed by his team mate again, while we will be left forever wondering how the Hulkenbergs etc would fare in a top car. Disappointing all round.
Dafffid commented on the post, Should Ferrari keep Raikkonen for 2016? 7 years, 6 months ago
They have a clear team leader in Vettel. Hulk would be a very safe pair of hands to always be there or thereabouts. If they really want a quick no.2 who is going to threaten Vettel (unlikely) then there are […]
Dafffid commented on the post, 'Lift and coast': Why F1 drivers are told to save fuel 7 years, 7 months ago
Increasing minimum car weight dramatically so that fuel is a smaller percentage of total weight would help. Also means we don’t keep penalising great racers simply because they’re not midgets
Dafffid commented on the post, McLaren have only done a 12-lap run and start last 7 years, 10 months ago
How many times will Lewis lap them? At four seconds a lap… oh wait… the Mclarens will break down before he catches them…
This is another example of McLaren trying to be too clever and revolutionary for […]Dafffid commented on the post, FIA confirms ban on drivers changing helmet designs 7 years, 11 months ago
If they banned advertising on helmets I’d be a lot more interested. Nobody’s had a good helmet in years and years…
Dafffid commented on the post, Raikkonen on top as Ferrari power sweeps Jerez test 7 years, 12 months ago
I wonder at what point last year a little Ferrari bird whispered in Vettel’s ear, we’ve made a big leap with the engine and we’re not telling Fernando…
Dafffid commented on the post, Rosberg disappointed he "messed up" 8 years, 3 months ago
Got out of jail free. If Pirelli had brought the right tyres he’d have been properly punished and might have been a bit more interesting to watch. Lucky boy, Nico.
Dafffid commented on the post, Mercedes 'gutted to have let Lewis down' – Lowe 8 years, 6 months ago
One wonders how many failures Mercedes would have if they were under the slightest pressure from another team. They’ll have to tighten up for next year when surely the others will have closed the gap.
Dafffid commented on the post, F1 offers $50,000 prize to enhance live race data 8 years, 7 months ago
It’s good that they realise they need to update – much of the coverage has barely changed in a decade, the onscreen info is still maddeningly positioned and unhelpful, and almost guaranteed to never answer the […]
Dafffid commented on the post, Should F1 use standing starts for restarts? 8 years, 7 months ago
The safety car isn’t there to allow extra passing, it’s there for safety. If we’re going to introduce standing starts for more passing – why not just do it every ten laps? A ‘race’ isn’t just about inventing […]
Dafffid commented on the post, Rosberg stewards 'had all the necessary data' 8 years, 8 months ago
Lewis could have put it all too bed in one line. All he needed to do was say,
“I don’t believe Nico did it deliberately, because that would mean he was admitting he’s not as good as me and he can’t beat me […]Dafffid commented on the post, DRS has ruined the art of overtaking – Montoya 8 years, 9 months ago
That’s simply not true. Photoshop can’t improve composition – the most crucial part of any photo – unless you cut everything apart and piece it back together, and even that requires an appreciation of the art of […]
Dafffid commented on the post, Ecclestone considers reviving 'GP Masters' concept 8 years, 9 months ago
I’d far sooner see a contenders series of identical cars, in which young guns that may or may not be ready, race against those who were possibly prematurely rejected. That would give a chance for us to see if the […]
