Savage_Baboon commented on the post, Hamilton: Pirelli should've brought thinner tyres to Austria 4 years, 11 months ago
I’d think Paul Ricard and Spain was more of a procession than Austria, Canada can also join the list as well. The only reason Paul Ricard was interesting was because of Vettel and Bottas crashing. The midfields a […]

Savage_Baboon commented on the post, Hamilton: Pirelli should've brought thinner tyres to Austria 4 years, 11 months ago
Don’t quite understand the lack of overtaking/racing in this race. If anything we’ve had a fair bit of overtakes in this race, especially in the front end. Ric/kimi both ways then vet/ham. Very rarely do we see […]

Lol.. That’s a whole another level of team order. But yeah, if Hamilton would’ve been stuck behind Ocon for a few laps then Kimi might have been able to overcut him.

It is smarter. It’s about pushing the boundaries to gain just a bit of advantage. I’m glad Ferrari are on top of this. Even if the gain is 0.001 sec it’s worth it. That’s what F1 is all about.
Engineers, […]

Step in the right direction I suppose. As usual teams that have made the most efficient front wings will be opposed to it and vice versa. But let’s hope that they all agree that closer racing will bring more a […]

I don’t know about that strategy being silly. The difference in performance between the Softs and Mediums were significant. RIC had no issue passing RAI in the back straight. Sure, if SC happened just before RAI […]

As stated in the article Merc did the same with BOT in Spain last year, and BOT himself admitted that if Merc were facing the situation they would have done the exact same thing. If you think about it if VET came […]

Savage_Baboon commented on the post, Ricciardo denies Bottas a badly-needed win 5 years, 1 month ago
In all honesty I think Ferrari threw away a RAI victory in China. RAI not only had a fresh set of softs (HAM had a used set of softs – probably the likely reason Merc didn’t want to pit him), but also had eno […]

Yeah the top 3 teams have enough pace to go to Q3 on softs. Question is will all 3 chose softs or will someone gamble starting with the ultras? Or maybe even split between drivers?
Interesting race ahead. The […] -

Savage_Baboon commented on the post, Mercedes are four-tenths quicker – Vettel 5 years, 2 months ago
“So Ferrari in space of one year lost roughly 0.8s of relative competitivness.”
How? Are you suggesting Ferrari were 0.6 sec ahead of Mercedes at this point last year?

Savage_Baboon commented on the post, Mercedes are four-tenths quicker – Vettel 5 years, 2 months ago
0.4 sec. That’s actually not that bad considering that Ferrari have made some radical changes to their overall design. If they can bag another couple of lucky wins before the summer break things could get […]

Thanks man. Yeah that whole VSC/Safety car debacle was hilarious and infuriating at the same time. It’s like the F1 Sky team has witnessed a VSC and safety car for the very first time in their life.
But yes to […]

I think in some sense the F1 marketing and the media really missed a great opportunity to showcase F1 in this hybrid era. In terms of engineering and complexity what all the manufacturers have achieved is […]

Correct. From Ted’s Notebook (according to Pirelli): Medium > Soft: 0.6 sec diff.. Soft > SS > US > HS: 0.3 sec diff.
So that puts Mag at 17.7 sec. I’m sure that Ferrari have more in hand, as does everyone […] - Load More
