I understand and have sympathy for all the fury, but sometimes is good to put things on context:
João da Silva commented on the post, Your top ten passes of 2015: Vote for the best 6 years, 7 months ago
I dont get it. Was the move on Peres more daring Massa´s on Ericsson? I take as “daringness” the inverse of the distance between the cars, and in MassaxEricsson case, both drives gave a lesson of going just to […]

I might agree, but before that, the so called domint team decides whos gonna win. This time is Hamilton, who loves to be favored by the same teamate strategy whenever it suits him, but is fond to complain when it […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Mateschitz insists Red Bull's Renault deal is over and slams rivals 6 years, 9 months ago
Let them go and share RB and TR prize money to the underdogs, or even divide it equally. Hundreds of competent and jobless staff willing to share their knowledge (together with the extra money) would make this […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Ferrari vetoed cut-price engine deal over 'business principle' 6 years, 9 months ago
The solution is already given: there must be an engine suplier who is not running as a team: there is an obvious conflict of interest when you can make expensive R&D rule and downsize your costumer power so that […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Not just prize money which is anti-competitive – Ecclestone 6 years, 10 months ago
There is something I think is being missed in all this dscussion about money: if the payments were more equitable, the “minnows” would not be able to use the extra money to get more competitive. All that would be […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Not just prize money which is anti-competitive – Ecclestone 6 years, 10 months ago
He can´t. His team was the most benefitted one from the state of affairs in current F1. If EU complaint goes anywhere, Mercedes will sudenlly go from unbeatable to just a very rich team without any uncompetitive […]

Vandoorne!
João da Silva commented on the post, Teams barred from using old specification engines in 2016 6 years, 10 months ago
I understand that any costumer is obliged to provide the engine maker their SW settings, but the works teams are not. This is a huge advantage: the works teams get the others inventive tweeks, an engine customized […]

There is a way out of it for Ferrari: demand that Marko and Horner be fired. These guys are ridiculous with their whining in a way beyond ridiculous.
João da Silva commented on the post, Do you support F1 teams' EU protest? 6 years, 10 months ago
The discussion is somewhat upside down. The problem is not only how the money is distributed, but the very high costs just to be in F1. The decisions on cost (like imposing hybrid engines as expensive as a small […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Two teams call on EU to investigate F1 6 years, 10 months ago
Its the end of an old thread, os I don´t expect anybody to read this, but your observations are worth a comment. As much as I can agree with you, the problem persists because F1 business model moved from […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Two teams call on EU to investigate F1 6 years, 10 months ago
Not with my audience, I must say. I hope EU does something to clean the corruption in this sport, because it IS, simply put, false advertising to sell it as a competition when a point gained have different values […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Red Bull hit out at Ferrari over engine offer 6 years, 10 months ago
There is another interesting aspect to it. RBR departure would also show the farsical side of F1 business model for a costumer team: nobody will provide a top 25 millions/year engine for a costumer to win.
I […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Red Bull hit out at Ferrari over engine offer 6 years, 10 months ago
The good question is not “Who wants a costumer like this?” It is: “Does this costumer really want an engine supplier?” Maybe the decision is already taken, and a good way to circumvent eventual fines is creating a […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Drivers still not convinced by F1's hybrids – Vettel 6 years, 10 months ago
I have some hope that with VW scandal and its possible withdrawal from plans to enter F1 makes Red Bull get humble or go away from the sport. That might start a process of exploding this financial bubble around […]

I also made a mistake while posting:-) Continued… At the very least motorsposrt would have about 1000 very skilled people looking for a job. This alone would be a hell of a cut in costs for the sport (which […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Red Bull 'prepared to quit F1 after Abu Dhabi' 6 years, 10 months ago
And so what? Anybody who follows F1 for at least 10 years knos that there were engines handycap at any time. The problem here is a corporation that it is not interested i the sport, but only on winning. Let them […]
João da Silva commented on the post, Red Bull 'prepared to quit F1 after Abu Dhabi' 6 years, 10 months ago
Marko´s reasoning is so fun to follow: we have the best chassis and aero pack, if Ferrari doesn´t give us the best of their hardware, software and fuel so that we have the best of everything, we quit. I wonder if […]
