Joe commented on the post, Hamilton hasn't watched Netflix's F1 series: "I heard mixed reviews" 3 years, 10 months ago
I personally found the series disappointing. To a very casual fan or someone who hasn’t watched much/any F1, it was probably quite interesting. Some of the interviews were a good behind the scenes look, but it w […]

(9 sets per weekend) for just one car
More like 20 sets per car, per weekend. 13 dry and 7 wet (potentially 8 depending on conditions). All of which are scrapped at the end of the weekend (except unused wets in […]Joe commented on the post, Why Liberty's plan for more F1 races is pushing teams to a tipping point 4 years, 2 months ago
I’ve only worked in the hybrid era so can’t compare to the V8 days. But It’s not the main contributing factor to the size of the teams. I’ve worked for Mercedes and Ferrari customer teams, I think a total of ~8 t […]

No problem! I’ll drop a mail tomorrow
Joe commented on the post, Why Liberty's plan for more F1 races is pushing teams to a tipping point 4 years, 2 months ago
I wouldn’t of said last year was a cautious approach. We practiced daily over the winter in the lead up to pre season testing. And of course many times over a race weekend. Mechanics always try to improve time, a […]

More than happy to share. I’ve decided to make a bit of a move from just reading comments to being able to advise where possible! So fire away any questions you have in the future!
That’s okay, no need to apo […]Joe commented on the post, Why Liberty's plan for more F1 races is pushing teams to a tipping point 4 years, 2 months ago
As a mechanic who’s done 21 races a year; that was for me, the maximum. Double headers were hard at times, especially if there was a test tagged on the end. Some races outside of Europe required much earlier l […]
Joe commented on the post, Red Bull take maximum allocation of hyper-softs for Monaco 4 years, 8 months ago
Two sets after P1 (one of which will be the P1-40min set), Two sets after P2 and 2 sets after P3, per car. If you get through to Q3 and use your mandatory one, that is also returned. If you do not, you can keep it […]

I don’t think banning lights is the way forward. Strict enforcing of rule 12.8.4 (wheel assembly and in this instance fasteners) of the technical regulations is the way forward – “Any sensors may only act passively”
Joe commented on the post, Hamilton thought Rosberg would pass him 8 years, 10 months ago
@cosmas , not saying that, but that were the laps when they were closest on track, and when ROS got past, before HAM re-passed into T4.
Joe commented on the post, Hamilton thought Rosberg would pass him 8 years, 10 months ago
Not for lack of trying, talent or commitment though I would say… I would say because it was top driving from both of them, inc defensive driving from Hamilton, and offensive when Rosberg actually got past.
Joe commented on the post, Hamilton thought Rosberg would pass him 8 years, 10 months ago
Yes, they were fighting for position
Joe commented on the post, Perez thrilled by "hardest-fought podium ever" 8 years, 10 months ago
Yeah I agree, it’s all too easy to judge a book by it’s cover, or in this case judge a performance by only half the facts
Joe commented on the post, Hamilton thought Rosberg would pass him 8 years, 10 months ago
He had a run every time, why not try and overtake into the best overtaking spot on the track? He also planned a lovely move into T3, which HAM defended well.. Personally, I thought it was brilliant driving from both of them.

HAM pulled away when he was on the softer tyre, rolls were reversed in final stint.

And yes the MAL incident was bad, but thankfully at slow speeds and the cars are “safe” , with Roll hoops, mandatory crash structures etc.
Joe commented on the post, Did the stewards get Maldonado's penalty right? 8 years, 10 months ago
The Webber incident last year was arguably more dangerous, which was why the severe penalty was implemented for unsafe releases.. Yes it’s hard of RIC, seeing as it wasn’t his fault, but the teams need to make […]
