Toto has said nothing about them winning, just the result as a whole. The race result isn’t just who is on the podium, it is the finishing places of all the cars.

@billyboltaction Whilst altitude doesn’t affect the battery directly, it does still charge from the ICE, so if the ICE has less power output there will be less energy to charge the battery as well and so still […]

More likely it will mean that they can put less fuel in. That will be worth some time at the beginning of the race, maybe a tenth or two. But the same amount of fuel saving etc will be used.

In a few years we will have Q19 where one driver goes out in each session and the a final shoot out. The people they are so concerned about will still only tune in to the last two sessions. Just get rid of the […]

Last year the gap was because Ferrari hadn’t brought their final floor design which they did the race after. Unless they bring any major updates for the next race I can’t see the same happening.

Can’t say I’ll be sad to see him go. Makes you wonder about Martin Whitmarsh’s comments and appearance in McLaren’s garage not so long ago…

@angie The acceleration and deceleration did not happen whilst weaving, Vettel did that in a straight line. That is what the issue is.

Having seen the video, Stroll appears to keep a constant angle on the steering wheel but this is not enough to match the radius of the turn. As he starts turning before the track turns this makes him initially […]

It’s because of the rotation of the wheels. When the rear wheel contacts the back of the front wheel the front wheel is forced into the ground whereas the rear wheel is lifted up. The front wheel has no where to […]

Grosjean is moving left which gives the appearance of Stroll moving right quicker than he was because the kerb isn’t close enough to provide a reference.

The stewards came up with the 0.2s reaction time from the telemetry data. The car is allowed a slight amount of movement before the lights go out and this is what was seen. However the actual clutch release and […]

@coldfly @xtwl I disagree about Rosberg. Whilst he was given no option but to leave the circuit after making contact with Verstappen, he drove along the edge of the circuit towards T2 and could have easily […]

@craig-o Rosberg has had two DNFs to Hamilton’s one, but Hamilton’s DNF happened when Merc were under-performing so Roseberg was unable to capitalise. So yes I think you are correct that Rosberg has had slightly […]

@hohum – The advantage comes in being able to carry less fuel which translates into lower lap times so there is still a value to making the engine more efficient even in the absence of fuel limits. There are also […]

@m-skr No, it was only 21 at McLaren.

It’s an interesting theory, but adds complexity. Occam’s Razor favours that they simply made a timing error in the heat of the moment.

Quite subtle for a conspiracy theory though. If they had considered such an […]

@peartree

Audi is equivalent to Mercedes brand wise and are more direct competitors in the market place.

@freelittlebirds – Yes most of us have PVRs (even my parents!). I used to watch all the races live with little exception when they were all on free to air TV, but ironically since half have moved to pay TV in the […]

@fer-no65

14:00 to 16:00 once a fortnight (and not even that!)?!

Exactly, this ignores the fact legions of football fans give up far more time to watch their sport.
