Alonso to McLaren Honda was not a matter of Alonso seeing impressive work there, but a matter of nowhere else to go. Alonso got tired of Ferrari, and Ferrari didn’t mind letting him go since they were able to get […]

Vandoorne is only dominant because his competition is weak. He is leading Haryanto, Rossi and Sirotkin, who all have been racing in FR3.5/GP2 for years without much success.

I don’t remember Raikkonen being consistent at Lotus. On the contrary he would put in excellent performances in a few races, only to mix those with surprisingly uninspired performances in other races. Podiums […]

Ask Ferrari about what? Just because rumours are talking about Bottas joining Ferrari, doesn’t mean that Ferrari agrees.

Massa’s skill level is very well know at this time. He is a solid mid-tier driver, which […]

“Fake passes?” Do you mean passes by a slower car only able to pass due to DRS? Wouldn’t the just overtaken, faster car be able to repass then?

Strategy becomes a lot easier when the guy in the car is able to deliver what is needed to make the strategy work. Overcutting Massa in Australia could only work because Vettel on worn tyres was still faster than […]

Alonso started his Ferrari career at a time when Ferrari was a winning team.
When Alonso left Ferrrari, they were very far from being a winning team. Then Vettel joined.

Sigh

For sure there are other WDC’s who had a dominant car. What makes Button stand out is that his WDC was truly a one hit wonder. He has not been close neither before or after.

Hamilton had a dominant car in […]

A title shot in the next few years is the plan

That’ll just coincide with the retirement of their current driver line-up. Great plan.

One of the most interesting situations today was the long run comparison between Wiliams and Ferrari.
Massa did a 12 lap run on mediums shortly after his fastest lap on the softs. His long run laptimes were […]

When a company undergoes reconstruction, the purpose is to keep your strengths and remove your weaknesses.

What you also need to do is to remove anything that prevents a successful restructuring. In the Ferrari […]

Alonso is impressed by Honda’s scientific approach. Ferrari is impressed by Vettel’s very detailed feedback. Interesting.

If Hamilton & Rosberg battling it out in Bahrain was too dangerous, what about wheel to wheel racing between non-teammates, like Magnussen/Alonso at Spa or Vettel/Alonso at Silverstone? Does wheel to wheel racing […]

Since Vettel haven’t driven the F14T, I agree his arrival has limited influence on the SF15T at this time. He has driven the F14T simulator, so some influence cannot be ruled out.
There is however strong […]

Felipe Nasr who drove both Mercedes and Ferrari PUs said that this year’s Ferrari is almost on par with the Mercedes he drove on Williams last year.

What Nasr is quoted saying is “quite similar”.

I find this very similar to the Lewis-Nico incident in Spa and, while Magnussen (unjustly, I think) got a penalty for this one, Nico got away without a penalty.

There is a very significant difference between […]

Honda is being asked to follow the rules they expected, which is not unfair. They were never allowed to implement 32 tokens for 2015, so giving them any right to modify anyway would be hugely unfair towards the […]

I don’t get why lapped cars should not seperate the lead cars. It’s not like they were brought into those positions due to the safety car. They were actually there during the race prior to the race car period. The […]

What if Mercedes improve by 5 seconds (for arguments sake) and the other teams improve by 5.5 seconds?
