Basil

@Flyingbasil @anunaki That article is from 12 years ago, and without sources. As for trees, that’s not tech… trees take years to give back.

@flyingbasil iridium?

Oh, I agree (though the HAM Q3 lap wasn’t an example of doing a great job, was it …) it just makes it slightly less obvious that he seemingly did a good job @flyingbasil!

@flyingbasil Correct, some normal cars do have piston squirters (to keep pistons cool when operating at high RPMs and temps). However, a very minute amount of oil does leech into the combustion chamber in every […]

@phylyp @flyingbasil @greg-c @jerejj By injecting an oil with a high amount of volatiles into the turbo charger, you risk detonation in the turbo as turbos almost certainly run at temperatures higher than […]

@flyingbasil – thanks Basil, that makes sense.

Your claim is wrong. There where talks (and according to Wholff an oral agreement) between Mercedes and Renault about Icon @flyingbasil).

@flyingbasil I know, but I don’t think anyone can argue that situation isn’t to the detriment of both the quality and the integrity of F1.

@flyingbasil Ultimately yes, but whenever a change of date slot occurs, it’s the track management that is responsible for asking for it. After having had a slot at this time of year for the first two seasons, they […]

@flyingbasil Just seen Perez’s shove on Sirotkin as I missed it during the race, insane! Actually had me laughing it was so bizarrely unexpected. Never seen anything like it, well not since Vettel lost it last […]

@flyingbasil that was forbthe incident with Hartley, not the same.

@flyingbasil you will find it to be sarcasm

Cheers @flyingbasil – good to know Sirotkin is there to offer development feedback from the physical car, and that it’s just the lead time to design and build the requisite parts.

@flyingbasil – ah, ok. So they are then probably paying the price for not being able to get effective development feedback, or else the fixes required require more time to go through a development lifecycle.

@flyingbasil – I should confirm that I was joking… :-)

I don’t agree that it was a crazy move though. He hasn’t had the cleanest start to the year and it was a little overly careless at the end of the move, […]

@flyingbasil

Yeah not comprehensive data, but Stroll is such low hanging fruit that it doesn’t exactly paint the picture of an uber talent

@flyingbasil

Being slower than Stroll isn’t the best evidence he isn’t though

@flyingbasil Exactly. Senna was doing the same. These guys can just get some extra focus or something and bring it all together and leap ahead when it matters.

In a way people saying Hamilton it must be that […]
