Jake commented on the post, Pirelli reveal 18-inch tyre design ahead of test 8 years, 10 months ago
Possible less rotational inertia from more magnesium alloy and less tyre rubber.
As simple as it can be, 1/2 mv^2 can be applied to find the angular rotational moment of inertia (again, not the 100% correct […]

Jake commented on the post, F1 should not act in haste over engine noise 9 years, 2 months ago
The lower decibels is impossible to avoid with a turbocharged engine.
Naturally aspirated will always make more noise for a few reasons. The exhaust flow goes straight out the exhaust pipes. The energy of the […]

Jake commented on the post, F1 "already very close to 2013 performance" – Pirelli 9 years, 3 months ago
The large reduction in drag is the dominant factor in the high speeds we are seeing, not so much the engines. Some teams predicting 350km/h+ at Monza this year which I am very much looking forward to, considering […]

Jake commented on the post, Alonso says V10 era was F1's best 9 years, 4 months ago
Try the grooved tyres *cough*.
They drastically influenced grip factors.
2004/2005 cars on slicks would be ridiculously fast.

Jake commented on the post, Alonso says V10 era was F1's best 9 years, 4 months ago
Are you having a laugh? 2010 boring? It went down to the last race with so many title contenders!
And then you said 2011 is better??!?!? The season Vettel demolished? Ha. What are you on about mate.
2010 was […]

The V10’s screamed more-so than roared. 20,000 rpm is no roar; that is a scream.
The V8’s scream also; ive been to gp’s with both; both sound great.

Me too. F14T was too simple. I like the sound of F166 TURBOOOO

Jake commented on the post, Downforce cut 'has been successful' – Paffett 9 years, 4 months ago
More power? No, not at all.
More torque, similar power, more weight, less downforce; slower laps.
It will be great to watch, though

Jake commented on the post, Fresh doubt over Brawn's Mercedes future 9 years, 7 months ago
Reduction in wing surface area leads to less downforce and less drag (in most cases). Less drag = less wake and turbulent air being thrown upwards behind the cars = less slipstream effect for leading car. Please […]

Jake commented on the post, Formula E? It's not the future, says Vettel 9 years, 7 months ago
Obviously hasn’t heard of water electrolysis > 2H2O + e- + catalyst –> H2 + O2 … That can be used as a combustible, compressible fuel
The ignorance is painful.

Jake commented on the post, Fuel-saving could dominate races with new engines 9 years, 7 months ago
Thats like saying “Fuel has always been a part of F1.”
Why point out the obvious and totally miss the point of my comment?
You are 100% WRONG in saying it like this. Look at 2005. Obviously if you dont […]

Jake commented on the post, Fuel-saving could dominate races with new engines 9 years, 7 months ago
I would prefer fuel saving rather than tyre management ANY day of the year, but both? No thanks. We love this sport for many reasons and we know it should be the pinnacle of motorsport, yet we turn on the race and […]

I misread that. You are completely correct. The RB9 does it beautifully.

Jake commented on the post, Hamilton "certain" of "very strong" engine in 2014 9 years, 9 months ago
I agree with the Mercedes being the best bet for efficiency and power, however the comment about low end renault power and traction I disagree with. Next years cars will have enormous amounts of torque due to the […]

Yeah he out braked himself I remember going into a right hander on the outside. Mika held strong and Fisi took Schumi’s position for a bit.
