Exactly and passes will always be hard to come by with drivers pushing and in running order that reflects their pace.
Just unlucky re Vettel’s pit under the VSC as he seemed to have similar pace to Lewis. […]

Ricciardo qualified 5th, Verstappen had an engine problem that prevented him from setting a competitive Lap and will start on the back row.
Dan commented on the post, What they say about… F1's new, wider tyres 5 years, 4 months ago
When most of the drop off comes from wear (ie the rubber literally wearing down over a stint), as was the case with Bridgestone and Michelin, you get the type of more linear drop-off you’re describing. The only c […]
Dan commented on the post, Tyre compounds for first two races of 2017 announced 5 years, 7 months ago
The real question is whether most of the degradation will come from wear (as in the Bridgestone days), or from thermal degradation. Pirelli have promised the former for 2017, but to date have only delivered the […]
Dan commented on the post, Signes 'will be F1's fastest corner' 5 years, 7 months ago
I disagree, with more power and downforce (though even withe the drag from the wider tyres, they can produce downforce more efficiently with the lower/wider rear wing and significantly longer and taller diffuser, […]
Dan commented on the post, Abu Dhabi 2017 tyre test in pictures 5 years, 8 months ago
Not quite, the 2017 front wrings will actually be wider, but the gap between the end plates and edge of the front tyres will be larger.
The total width of the front wing will be 1800mm, up from 1650mm. Despite […]

I like Heineken and the deal seems like a good thing for the sport, on a number of fronts. But am I the only one that think it’s comically inappropriate to have your beer sponsor in your anti drink-driving ad? […]
Dan commented on the post, Safer cars means more "extreme" tracks – Wurz 6 years, 2 months ago
I think it’s a must, especially with today’s tyres and limited engines. If you build a big lead by taking more out of your tyres than those behind you and you get a safety car outside your pit window, then […]
Dan commented on the post, Hamilton wants at least five more years in F1 6 years, 3 months ago
India was one of the few tracks that had the right corners and camera angles (especially the fast chicane in the middle sector) to show how fast F1 cars corner and change direction. The middle sector was mega and […]
Dan commented on the post, Strategy Group's grand plans for 2017 in tatters 6 years, 7 months ago
Was really looking forward to 2017. Sport is being run by clowns. The new rule changes were intended to produce similar lap times as the mid 00s cars. Michelin and Bridgestone were able to produce tyres to […]
Dan commented on the post, Pirelli bringing back tyre 'cliff' for 2016 6 years, 7 months ago
They can’t just ‘reduce aero’, tired of reading it. The cars are already too slow, hence to 2017 rule changed to gain ~ 5 seconds. What they can and should have done with the 2017 rules is increase the downforce […]

Stalking’s a very loaded term, I prefer to think of it as extreme liking.

Dan commented on the post, 'Impossible' to compete in both F1 and LMP1 – Ferrari 7 years, 10 months ago
Surely I’m not the only one to put together the fact that Minardi was bought by Red Bull (became Toro Rosso), who’s main team pioneered the modern implementation in 2010 and were generally thought to have gotten […]

Worse than double points in my opinion. Safety cars near the end of the race will lead to totally undeserving winners.

I’m not sure what these numbers are supposed to mean?
