2017 says hello

This isn’t really a fair comparison. Russell is in relatively clean air, while Kubica is in dirty air and battling with other cars.

That 1,000th race promo poster…yikes

First prize looks great this year. My PC was built by the guys and gals at 3XS and the build quality really is top notch. I highly recommend them.

Good choice Keith!

@david-a) No, they will ask Flavio what to do and then do the exact opposite. Hopefully. Then everything will be great.

“But [Grosjean’s] day ended when his car lurched left under braking at turn six, almost hitting the barrier, and leaving him stuck in a gravel trap. ”

I’m pretty sure he did hit the barrier. The left-rear […]

Points aren’t scored on Saturdays. Merc demonstrated this nicely last year.

@vettel1 No, that was Hamilton.

Sounds good. Nothing can really be made out of the car though, but that’s to be expected.

@djdaveyp87

The teams should just agree to all pull over and retire just before 75% race distance. Half points will then be awarded!

My top five: VET, WEB, GRO, HAM, HUL Pole: VET
Real top six: VET, GRO, WEB, HAM, ALO, HUL

So close to 50 points, I ended up with 13…Maybe next time!

@vettel1 The main problem with this is that it would be incredibily difficult to get 10cm of water to stay where you put it. You’d have to create entirely flat run-off areas, or have huge dips to stop it running […]

@vettel1 @mike-dee More specifically, it is used to warn drivers of any slow moving vehicle on the race track. For example, It could be used when someone has a puncture and is coasting back to the pits.

Trying to stay within the pit lane exit white lines could get interesting, especially if it’s wet!

@cornflakes I agree entirely.

I remember a few years ago we were treated to some graphics from FOM that demonstrated the different lines drivers took into certain corners. They would compare two drivers by […]

@vettel1 You’re missing the point altogether. The first comment referred to Vettel nearly hitting Ricciardo. Not the DRS board.
Yes, “nearly hit” does indeed mean he didn’t hit him, but I didn’t say he did hit […]

@vettel1 You’re bringing up the DRS board which has nothing to do with my point. The initial comment said “nearly crashed into”, which is the main component.

@vettel1 It was said in the initial comment. “an Australian who Vettel nearly crashed into behind the safety car in the third-last race of the 2012 season whilst one was driving for Red Bull and the other for Toro Rosso”

@vettel1 I’d say he nearly hit Ricciardo before he hit the DRS board.

@vettel1 Well you’re misunderstanding the English language if that’s the case. Denotations of nearly include “Almost but not quite”. Vettel almost but not quite hit Ricciardo as he swerved to avoid him.
