Nice comment, @rafael-o
It’s amusing how the sequence of events that were triggered by Vettel not signing again with Ferrari might now be causing Liberty anxiety, at the thought of Renault’s board pulling them […]

@rafael-o What’s wrong with YOU? It’s clear from the stewards reading that that Hamilton was given two to three extra laps of fuel which he was not allowed to use.
So McLaren was ballasting Hamilton’s car with […]

@rafael-o That says nothing at all. What is wrong with you?
1) Hamilton was slowed down by McLaren for 5 to 6 tenths a lap compared to Alonso
2) Hamilton did not know this
3) Hamilton only ended up 2 tenths […]F1oSaurus commented on the post, Beat Hamilton? Vettel hasn't proved he can beat Leclerc yet 3 years, 9 months ago

Hamilton was effectively penalized with 5 to 6 tenths […]

@rafael-o This is not about holding station. The point is that McLaren were making Hamilton 0.6 seconds a lap slower by giving him more fuel. Yet instead of letting him actually use that fuel to overtake Alonso, […]

@rafael-o BMW were unwilling to have the budget available needed to fight for the WDC. They insisted on a budget cap and if that didn’t happen they would leave. The budget cap didn’t pan out and thus they left.
BasCB commented on the post, Why Arrivabene's departure from Ferrari plays into Liberty's hands 4 years ago
Good points in that comment @rafael-o. Arrivabene was clearly a man who knew the backrooms of F1 for years, and was well versed in both the politicing and the revenues of things.
It will be interesing to see […]

@rafael-o Nice observations. The fact that the racing nerd is also the most risk-taking driver, and the fast but careful race plotter isn’t (he implies) into the technical side is a strange reversal in some ways.

I think McLaren’s decline started when Ron handed over the reins to Martin Whitmarsh in 2009. From there the team seemed to have relaxed more and its employees appeared to be happier overall, but s […]

@rafael-o There is quite a bit of your post that I don’t agree with, however I have only one question.
On what basis does Nico Rosberg deserve to win this years WDC?
Cheers.
