@hobo – then you appear to be misinformed. You cannot state that the flow rate sensors are unnecessary – as they are there for a purpose. The fuel flow regulation is in place to limit the power out of the v6 turbo […]

The sound that F1 cars used to make is very much part of the reason why I become an F1 fan.

Great post Erik Torsner.

Main reason the fuel flow rate rule is their is too try and limit the power output of the v6 engine to around 600hp. There’s no current limit as to how much turbo boost can be applied to the engine. The FIA want […]

Looks like the average is going to be below 7 – so would be considered one of the more boring races compared to previous years.

From the FIA stewards report, it appears Red Bull (‘The Pit Wall’) were informed by the Technical delegate that they were using too much fuel. Seems like they did indeed choose to ignore it at their own peril!!!!

Have to agree with you, although seemingly more reliable than the Renault engine at this stage the Ferrari power unit seems very under powered. Didn’t see the Marussia running much but both the Ferrari and Saubers […]

Would assume the only remedy being a disqualification. The pit wall must have been aware of it – so that’s a huge disappointment for Ricciardo after such a great drive.

Agree – one driver making a few passes doesn’t make for an exciting race at all. Quite disappointed with the excitement of the race overall.
Main positives been the great performances by the rookies – Magnussen […]

Being a Ferrari fan, I’d say that was a big surprise. Would appear that Ferrari have considerable issues to resolve in order to try and regain some sort of competitiveness. Kimi looked like he had his hands full – […]

I’ve got this VW 1600cc turbo engine that I use in my ” VW beach buggie” in my garage at home – it’s packaging is quite small. Should we talk to Adrain about it?

You must be a rocket scientest to have worked that out!

Does a duck have a watertight butt?

Looks like 2014 is the last year for Pirelli in F1 – assume it will go to tender and Michelin will get it going forward.

It’s difficult to give this RACE a decent rating when no-one at the front was racing. No denying there was lots of incidents including crashes and lots of laps behind 3 safety car period – that stopped the […]

If a skilled driver has too slow as a result a yellow flag by someone spining off andf/or crashing when it’s wet – can be corrected by a simple rule change that for instance would enable them redo their run in an […]

Unfortunately most F1 drivers are prima donnas (temperamental & conceited person) – when things go well it’s all due to their own driving ability. Unfortunately when things go badly it always the car & the rest of […]

Race control is far too cautious. If the conditions are undriveable you obviously cancel. The aim is for the drivers to decide what the risk/reward in those conditions should be. When it rains the skill of the […]
