The only reason he was dumped was to give room to Max. That crash just gave them the excuse to do it. Even so, people like Jenson Button called the move unfair and bs.

Blew his chance? You are mad, kvyat equalled ricciardo in terms of pace when they spent time together at RB. Thats the same Ricciardo that Horner was willing to give any amount of money to keep.

Does that mean Kvyat refused to move over? I have a hard time seeing logic in choosing Alex or Kvyat at this point.

Its not just the same team, but the same side of the RB garage – Kvyat replaced Vettel, Max replaced Kvyat.
Basil commented on the post, Kvyat says return to podium will "send a message" 3 years, 8 months ago
Its not arguably. Kvyat wasnt bad at all when he was demoted. He had pace, he was on the podium. They just needed to put Max in.
Gasly is just slow this year, much like Kvyat was after demotion. I dont think […]Basil commented on the post, Leclerc quickest as Bottas and Verstappen crash 3 years, 9 months ago
Maybe we see now why Sirotkin’s sponsors pulled him out if Williams, there is something really wrong with that team.

@johnmilk
Have to disagree with that. Before losing a seat at RB his pure speed was up there. And moving to that seat he was also incredibly quick. But he was always finding himself in bad places and made […]Basil commented on the post, F1 engine complexity now "way too high" 3 years, 10 months ago
You cant put a restrictor plate on electric side of the engine, and most of the difference comes from that area now.

@dbradock before KERS was introduced almost every manufacturer said it was irrelevant, expensive and too heavy to be practical. Now almost every new premium car has a small turbo engine with KERS. They will put […]

What is so special about F1 engine now? The only part that is not used for road cars is MGU-H.

Hybrid Turbos – everyone from Volvo to Nissan
Electric motors to boost acceleration aka […]Basil commented on the post, Mazepin's Mercedes ahead by 1.3s at end of test after spin 3 years, 10 months ago
@bosyber still a valid point. If you look at other drivers who did their best time on C5 you will see that they improved by around 0,4-0,5. Mazepin was slower than the best Mercedes in Q3 by 0.3. This puts him […]

Basil commented on the post, Mazepin to make Mercedes test debut this week 3 years, 10 months ago
I dont really get where all the hate is coming from? He was second last year with more wins and fastest laps than his rivals. He lost only to a guy who had a season more of expirience in GP3. He is not doing great […]
Basil commented on the post, Mazepin to make Mercedes test debut this week 3 years, 10 months ago
@dallein and why is he not? He finished second in GP3 last year with more wins and fastest laps than anybody else. And the guy who won was spending a second year there. Yes his record so far in F2 is not good, but […]

Sirotkin paid even more and never said a bad thing about Williams. This is not honesty, this is just bad team play.
Basil commented on the post, Gasly's "aggressive" driving style costing him time to Verstappen 3 years, 11 months ago
Albon was way too slow compared to Kvyat on race pace so far, and much slower in qualy when Kvyat didnt make mistakes. Kvyat on the other hand seems to be again finding himself in all the wrong situations. They’ll keep Gasly.
