[sorry, not Virgil here] Because for 2018 they would have to already be developing a smashing engine. Clearly they are nowhere.

Well, as a whole they have pretty much every box ticked already, and reliability is the only way that keeps them from absolute perfection. Us fans may not like it, but as managers they’d have to be […]

Four leading colors? I’m not an expert on graphic design, but it seems gharish to me. Too much going on, plus the different styles of 3D Infinity logo and a flat Red Bull one. My eyes are suffering.

For me the […]

Just saying, but supposedly F1 cars are so on the limit of traction when cornering, that you could just reach your hand and gently push the rear wing causing the whole car to spin.

The FIST would stand for […]

The costs of that would be absurd.

Every car now has to be supplied with 12 sets of tyres for every race weekend. That’s 48 rims PER CAR that has to get the rubber on, be shipped and warmed up during the […]

Don’t know if it was posted before:

“We’re not friends anymore, Renault.”

Keith, huge thank you and congratulations for your 5 years of full commitment to F1 Fanatic success!

Your work isn’t just a great piece of F1 knowledge, for me it’s also an awesome example of thorough and […]

He literally has no clue.

On the other hand, i would probably be bitter too if my daughters wasted several billion $ on luxuries and parties.

On the other hand Europe gets 9 races this year while the entire North America get only 2. And i’m speaking this from Poland.

Hamilton cruised throughout the race because he didn’t want to tax the engine unnecessarily. Ended up 13 seconds ahead of everyone else.

Rosberg had to cruise because he had to do whole race on single tyres, […]

Here’s a thought about secret radio messages.

If for instance the team wants to tell the driver “you’re loosing time to your teammate in turn 8”, why not work this out so that the engineer tells the driver […]

Is it the first time in Kimi’s career that he was the last running car to cross the line of a F1 GP?

[addition to @watchkyle post] And the small fact that this test was agreed upon and booked way before the season has started, and nobody even considered abandoning it based on previous race results.

Even if, […]

“We were originally approached by PDVSA regarding the possibility of sending Pastor Maldonado and the Lotus into space (…) But after watching the film ‘Gravity’, we were concerned about the dangers that would be […]

Damn, repeated my thought. Sorry about that.

The volume changes with the temperature, not the mass.

The measuring device isn’t perfect yet – it is just a new tool to monitor another new important parameter. I’m willing to cut the FIA some slack and let […]

So Adrian says that with hindsight [to win the titles in 2014] they should have switched to 2014 earlier. How, by transferrring every penny saved on car design to Renault?

With hindsight keeping the RB9 […]

So you reserve room for a possibility that Renault designed a “power unit” that run like crap even on the dyno and went with it anyway? :)

I find the word “extravaganza” to be strangely fitting. Bring on the super-bonus-double-points-season-finale-extravaganza! Or… don’t.
