Dave commented on the post, Elliott to take over from Allison as technical director at Mercedes 4 days, 7 hours ago
So the change from technical director to CTO is a move from overseeing day to day operations to overseeing a process, more of a project management role. The project I suspect is the 2022 car. Brawn used to do […]

@coldfly You keep ignoring my point and re-stating yours.
ALL the analysis states that Redbull was consistently much faster in turns 5 and 6 and turns 9 and 10 with both cars matched elsewhere. Regardless of […]

@robbie yes, Max got better at dealing with it after first expecting his team to give him a setting so “it” got better was Max getting better.

@joshgeake “Had” not have. The budget is now the same for all teams with probably only Haas not spending up to the limit.

“We’ve had a lot of years where we’ve been able to rely on straight line speed or high-speed cornering or interconnected corners. But you look at it here [in Bahrain] and we weren’t takin […]Dave commented on the post, 'Iron fisted' Wolff threatened to bench Hamilton and Rosberg over collisions 1 week ago
Yup. Only way Bottas is keeping his seat is if Lewis retires. Toto has to sign George for 2022 or risk being disloyal to him which Toto won’t do. He’s been loyal to Bottas up to a point but if Perez starts […]

@david-br Well, except Alonso in 2007 blackmailing Ron to make him official number one and Lewis number two because he couldn’t do it on the track!

@david-br the key factor in the constructors championship will be how fast Perez gets up to speed. These crucial points he is dropping to Bottas could be a deciding factor. Despite the fact that Bottas is a great […]

@coldfly Why do you keep clinging to this notion? I’ve watched, read and listened to most of the respected analysts break down the relative pace. They all agree that the Redbull was faster on race day, just not by […]

Ok, clearly biased against a factual analysis but try to follow. Did Lewis have a dominant car in 2007 when he was runner up by a point, or 2008 when he won? No. The Ferrari and McLaren were evenly matched. So he […]

@armchairexpert You could say the same thing about Hamilton Turkey 2006 in GP2. He appeared to be much faster on the straights than anyone else but he had asked his team to give him the skinniest rear wing […]

@jerejj easy. Swap George for Bottas at Williams. That’s probably the only option unless Seb continues his slide towards irrelevance. Personally I feel if Bottas doesn’t beat Lewis this year, which he won’t, he’ll […]

@ferrox-glideh Is that why he keeps melting his tyres at the end of races LOL! Bottas is fast and he has fight but he just lacks the in race toolbox that Hamilton has. Rosberg sez you can’t beat Lewis without […]

@nick101 Few things.
1. 2007 / 2008 McLaren was not a dominant car and for much of the two seasons the Ferrari had the edge. He missed the WDC by one point in his rookie year and won a WDC without a dominant car […]Dave commented on the post, Smart and small Tsunoda is Japan's best chance for a champion – Marko 2 weeks ago
I watched Tsunoda’s F2 season. He was a rookie that really stuck it to the top 2, who were both 2nd year drivers. Second in poles so very fast and had tire management down to an art. If he had a second year like […]

Well this went nuts quickly. What exactly is the track? Purely between the white lines? Nope! Never has been either. Why for example is 3/4 of the car off the track and two wheels barely touching the outside of […]

@david-br I was thinking the same. There are loads of examples of how drivers cut corners at all sorts of circuits. At COTA as soon as they go into the switch-backs, they are literally driving over the apex of one […]

@oel-f1 If you watched him, his overtakes were great and he was doing things like following Alonso for a couple of laps, figuring out what Alonso was doing to protect his tires and copying him. It was an […]

@philby except it proves exactly what I stated. Lewis’s rear tires were going off as Max caught him. He had jut said he couldn’t go any faster. Stop arguing black is white. Max caught him with 6 laps to go. He was […]
