@balue I don’t think it is too hard to understand and RG gives some clues as well. Aside from the fact this is all new to him, and he is not on what would be considered a top team (spec series reality aside), he h […]

Some good reasons here as to why it can take time for even an experienced driver to acclimatize to a car and team new to him. I especially like the point about car developments year on year potentially changing […]

@david-br You can also do that on a slot car track by switching the positive and negative wires around :)

Great stuff RG. Really pleased for ya.

@dbradock As I say nothing is going to change for Sundays, and to me making qualifying more exciting, in this case via Sprint Qualifying, is absolutely fine, especially if it brings more youth into the sport and […]

@randommallard For sure we shall see and for me all along I have just had so much respect for Liberty and Brawn and the teams in tackling all the key aspects that vitally needed addressing, that them experimenting […]

@randommallard I hadn’t read those quotes from BE, lol, and I have utter confidence that Brawn, Liberty, and the teams will be leaving Sunday races alone. Brawn has only ever said that, and I very highly doubt t […]

@randommallard My understanding of the 3 stages of NASCAR races is that it is meant to incentivize more racing within the race, rather than having drivers/teams settle in for the duration until the end with a four […]

@dbradock On this issue you are the overly dramatic one, condescending towards Brawn. Your baseless comments are way over the top and way out of line. I await your answer to S’s question.

grat And you know that how?

Will Jones No worries and thank you for the response. Sorry you’ve had a lousy feeling response to your shot. I was fortunate to have not felt any adverse affects but am not assuming I won’t when I have my second shot.

@david-br @keithdin But let’s not make it sound like they do no scrutiny at all. Surely RBR’s wings have been given at least some of the basic tests such as wing loads and have passed or we would have heard abo […]

Will Jones Of course neither of us was trying to do a case study on F1 cars, and were speaking in generalities, and we both agreed that teams may lean a car a certain direction based on a certain driver’s p […]

@randommallard Agree. I have liked them from day one of their appearance on an F1 car. I think the new cars are going to look amazing.

@f1mre Well that’s very interesting. Certainly if these covers indeed make it harder for cars to follow then I don’t expect to see them on the new cars. As to why they are on Kubica’s test car, I cannot say but c […]

@f1mre Interesting observation. I notice that it is not there on most of the other shots though. So here’s a total speculation on my part. Perhaps the new cars may have these covers on the rears as a measure to […]

Of course they need to maintain some degradation, but please make it through tread wear, and not through some minute thermal window that takes over from the art of racing and makes it all about just getting tires […]

@tommy-c Were they actually saying that with AA and PG? Actually ‘desperate?’ I wouldn’t think so given that they were clearly on their own in second in the WCC, unable to do anything about Mercedes, and nobody […]

What went wrong is that in Spain Mercedes were still the benchmark that they have been for 7+ seasons, and all Max could do was a bit more, briefly, with a bit less. But at least for the season they are close, […]

There is no more evidence that the RBR car is built for Max than there is that the Merc is built for LH. Unless you have some. SP is already performing like he is in the best car he has ever had, and will only get […]
