I agree with you Hyoko, and think that Keith´s interpretation of the “defensive move” in the regulations is very narrow.
It would be interesting to analyse the line that Vergne took in the preceding couple of […]

It is arguable that Vergne would not have run that wide if he wasn´t “defending”.
So I would still argue he made a defensive move, even though it was just gently running wide.scratt commented on the post, Alonso: Vergne should get penalty for pit exit incident 9 years, 3 months ago
No further action will be taken by the stewards.
I actually agree in this case, but overall this weekend the stewards have shown themselves to be horribly inconsistent.The one thing they said they would […]

Kimi was very clear after the race. He is there to race his team mate as well as any other pilot.
He has also shown he is more than willing to follow team orders when appropriate. He did so when he was Massa’s […]

I was under the impression (from ongoing discussion here and links provided) that Permane had confirmed that that was the first communication to Kimi on the subject. Is that not the case?

How was Kimi supposed to be aware of what was going on around him?
Using his handy iPad with Live Telemetry that he has in the cockpit?
Looking at the TV feed as he drove around the track?
Reading pit […]scratt commented on the post, Lotus apologises for Raikkonen radio messages 9 years, 3 months ago
Your comment about Permane being the messenger (below) is also a valid one tbh.
Overall I think Grosjean was the most level headed about this. His description after the race of Kimi being in a “bad situation” […]

Keith, the language was utterly unprofessional. Period.
For that alone an apology was warranted. Regardless of the driver or the scenario.As for any radio messages to Kimi about Grosjean approaching, it was […]

Expect exactly the same kind of shenanigans if there was ever a race planned in Thailand.

And to answer your query about consistently impressing re. Vettel, your view is subjective and not mine.
Like I said, he’s a nice chap, and talented, he just hasn’t proved himself to me yet. You can debate this […]

What definition of fast are you using?
Drag race, point to point, or overall pace?
Case in point, the Red Bull was not the fastest car in a straight line by a long shot today in Singapore…scratt commented on the post, Belgian Grand Prix gets lowest rating yet in 2013 9 years, 4 months ago
“His win came from dominating from pole..”
Gosh. What a surprise!
And frankly, Newey´s cars are exactly what you say they are not. They are fast and fragile – which is why Vettel dominating from pole and […]

There is a massive difference between fighting a campaign for an entire season (or seasons) and actually being in the hunt for the Championship, and getting lucky as a rookie in a couple of races.

If people want to boo. That’s fine.
If people want to complain about people booing. That’s also fine.
Comparing drivers present and past is also pretty futile; there are so many variables to consider.You’re […]

I was at Spa this year. Took my Dad as a belated birthday present… and it was, of course, a trip to Mecca for me.
The weekend as a whole was awesome. Cream on the cake was getting invited into the Pit Lane […]

I have a suggestion. I really enjoy predicting pole times and I’d love to see a reverse leader board of aggregate difference in predictions over the season. :)
