Nigel Bates commented on the post, Why Vettel's rivals may be disappointed in 2014 8 years, 9 months ago
I’m broadly in agreement with what you say, and managing traction without access to this year’s levels of downforce is going to be a very different problem to the one that Newey has excelled in solving under the […]

Nigel Bates commented on the post, How Mercedes can beat Red Bull at their own game 8 years, 10 months ago
I agree with most of the article, but I think it might be reading a bit too much into the Hungary result, and it’s not at all clear who is going to be the fastest on the new tyres.

I think the Button overtake penalty was fair enough – a bit harsh, but it was Grosjean’s miscalculation which caused the contact.
The Massa overtake penalty looked rather harsh. Grosjean was no further off the […]
