@davea86 Hi, I read your comments on the Australian GP thread. I will be going there this year and looking for heads up from the F1 community who has attended before.
I have the 4days general admission+premium for the Sunday.
I hope you could share me some tips, mainly on driver spotting in/out of track.
Best Regards,
Eric

@foleyger that was genuinely shameful though, so it’s perfectly just!
@davea86 I know, you’d like to think people would at least respect that much!

@davea86 it’d be a powerful message to say the least! Really, the incredibly fishy aspect to me is why it was so shrouded in secrecy and why apparently the FIA weren’t properly notified.

@davea86
If you reduce testing then they’ll obviously spend less money on testing but they won’t just leave the money they saved in the bank
I think this is the point where we need some actual data instead […]

@davea86
But does the lack of testing really save money?
If it didn’t the anti-testing lobby would have a ready-made line of attack but I don’t think even Montezemolo is trying to make that claim.

@davea86 Haha brilliant! You dirty boy!

@davea86 Thanks for the clarification. I generally agree.
Still find it strange that they chose not to protest after the race, but ask the FIA’s position later in a letter. Probably they hesitated whether to […]

@davea86
Do you know if those penalties were in place of a drive through penalty or if there’s a separate rule for speeding behind the safety car?
I believe it was an entirely separate rule. It may have also […]

@davea86 the last I remember was a bunch of 5s penalties given at Valencia 2010.
@prisoner-monkeys I put the question to another forum – the reply I got was that Maldonado lost it at turn 3 and crashed into the […]

@davea86 he did – though I was still puzzled at what on earth he was doing, having a run at Vettel into Turn 1 and at the restart. I wouldn’t be very happy if I was a team boss.
Maybe Horner told them they were […]
Max Jacobson commented on the post, Montezemolo wants 'a winning car from round one' 9 years, 5 months ago
@davea86 – Ferrari made a great recovery, no doubt about it. What I was saying is that had this situation been mirrored last year they probably would’ve been nowhere compared to Red Bull & McLaren. I agree […]

Yeah, good points there too @davea86 For sure a competitive season can mean you are more easily within a shout of the leader, and Ferrari’s car was reliable, wasn’t it. A couple of strong facts in FA’s favour for next year.

@aledinho
It’s a pointless exercise because these things have happened
@davea86
It’s an interesting hypothetical but it also points out that there’s way too many variables
I know it may be a pointless […]

Why else would they deliberately pit him into the middle of a pack of cars that were fighting for position?

This question always gets asked when there’s a new tyre compounds article. Here’s the answer:

Looks like @davea86 beat me to it.

@davea86, mulling this over reminded me of the infamous Maldonado/Hamilton incident although in that incident , PM only had his front wing alongside LH.
The way the rule is being interpreted it seems to me that […]

I hadn’t heard about the feud with the engineers before although going off some of his radio messages during races it doesn’t sound unbelievable.
It’s the first I’ve heard of it, too, but it seems to be […]
