Kneyfield commented on the post, Do F1's new engines have the right sound? 8 years, 2 months ago
The Mercedes engine sounds good, no doubt about it.
But it’s also beside the point. As soon as you add commentary to it, you’ll have to reduce the volume again. The on-track microphones part of the broadcast is […]
Kneyfield commented on the post, Do F1's new engines have the right sound? 8 years, 2 months ago
I voted for “average”, but only because the engines are so quiet (at least on TV). What I got to see on today’s P2 on SKY, I was really disappointed by the pitifully silent engines.
From what I saw in videos […]

@asingh1 the new HEVC (H265) codec would improve bandwidth efficiency by 35.4% over the current H264 at a comparable stream quality.
Frankly, 11,000 to 12,000kbps for a 4k video is a good step forward, but it […]

Even an inexpensive (yet energy-efficient) piece of hardware like the Raspberry Pi is capable of real-time decoding most 1080p content and it only uses about 2.5 to 3.5 watt in the process. Since most modern […]
Kneyfield commented on the post, Ferrari won't be close to Red Bull next year – Lotus 8 years, 8 months ago
I don’t know about today’s values – although at least estimates of the numbers should be out there already – but from a number of years ago I know, that Ferrari scored very high in that category. See F1Fanatic’s […]
Kneyfield commented on the post, Ferrari won't be close to Red Bull next year – Lotus 8 years, 8 months ago
I think you have to differentiate that a bit. Kimi chose Ferrari, because he didn’t get paid at Lotus. To my recollection of recent events, he never said anything about receiving a higher paycheck at the Italian […]
Kneyfield commented on the post, Webber to get grid penalty after lift from Alonso 8 years, 8 months ago
I agree, the reprimand is deserved, because the rule exists and the drivers know about it. Not following them means, that they should expect some kind of punishment.
The only reason why this has fans steaming […]

This article was well done, thanks for your writing efforts @keithcollantine.
The one thing I don’t agree with completely is your comparison to GP2. Half the drivers there go for the impossible overtakes and […]

One interesting thought: all of Codemaster’s F1 games so far (2010 up to and including the 2013 release) have been built on the same engine with a limited amount of changes between each game.
While I don’t know […]

F1 8 years, 9 months ago
@nitrodaze really? I suspect this rumor came to be, after Lewis’ father went to Maranello. Frankly, I have no idea what he did there, but it’s hard to believe, that Lewis would send his father to do the talking, […]

I can understand Alonso’s frustration and it’s no surprise or secret, that his patience has been wearing thin in the recent past.
He should learn however, that not everyone can be as lucky as Räikkönen to win a […]

Best Driver: Hamilton
Worst Driver: nobody stood out today

F1 8 years, 9 months ago
@andae23 I think, that drivers should be able to overtake outside of track limits, BUT only where they are allowed to leave the track entirely.
The corner where Grosjean got Massa is a place, where drivers got […]
Kneyfield commented on the post, Grosjean given 20-second penalty but keeps sixth 8 years, 9 months ago
@cyclonetog I think it was less about Massa pushing Grosjean off the track and more about Grosjean benefiting/overtaking while outside of the track limits.
I’ve only seen Grosjean’s on-board camera on that […]
Kneyfield commented on the post, Grosjean given 20-second penalty but keeps sixth 8 years, 9 months ago
@melkurion, I agree about the penalties being too harsh.
Though how all of you could have seen Button being at fault, I can’t understand, as it felt fairly obvious to me. He was being overtaken and a third of […]
Kneyfield commented on the post, Alonso faces investigation over DRS breach 8 years, 9 months ago
Hold on. Wasn’t the automatic system, which wasn’t working at the beginning of the season, supposed to be activated by now? With that, a driver should only be able to activate his DRS when race control (or their […]
Kneyfield replied to the forum topic Most starts without scoring a point – some thoughts in the group
F1 8 years, 9 months ago
Adrian Sutil has a long way to go, until he can match the 183 starts without a win from his fellow German Nick Heidfeld. The latter hasn’t been away from the sport that long and drove all available races in his […]

Lets agree to disagree then, @metallion
It was clear to me from very early on in their “fight”, that Räikkönen would have to make a clear mistake to lose the position.
The only small chance Vettel had was […]

Whoever the best driver for Red Bull would be, depends in my opinion on their future car speed in relation to the other teams. But does Red Bull want the best driver or the best _fitting_ driver next to Vettel? […]
