Steven commented on the post, Testing masked Red Bull's gains – Ricciardo 8 years ago
I see where you’re coming from, but I liken RBRs 2014 season to that of McLaren/Ferrari after winning their respective champtionships in 2008. All their resources into making the most of the formula at the time, […]
Steven commented on the post, How fast is Formula One? Top championships compared 8 years, 2 months ago
Right on, these feeder series are about letting the driver’s true ability shine; how do they handle being held up and use their skills to make the overtake? It was nice to see some lap-after-lap battles between […]
Steven replied to the topic Mid engine, rear seat layout in the forum Formula One 8 years, 2 months ago
I tried to decipher the regs, trying to figure out if it was legal. In any case, even if a loophole existed for such a design, I don’t think it would work in this open wheel category. Cooling, aerodynamics, weight distribution, tyre usage, cockpit safety… all of this would need a complete rethink. I would imagine most of the accumulated…[Read more]
Steven commented on the post, Top ten: Most competitive F1 championships 8 years, 2 months ago
I watched the 2007 season a few years after Hamilton won his first title and still believed that history was wrong and that somehow he’ll win if I were to watch it.
Spoiler: he didn’t.

“Engine rules change is “first victory” for Ferrari”

…well, they have to win at something, I suppose.
Steven commented on the post, Porsche still ruling out F1 entry 8 years, 2 months ago
As much as I’d like to see Porsche and/or Audi join F1, or even a BMW return to F1, I can’t imagine that happening, especially with the dire straits F1 is going through at this time. More teams would be fantastic, […]
Steven commented on the post, Button 'can kick Fernando's butt' – Dennis 8 years, 3 months ago
I’m curious myself; like you said, he held his own against Hamilton, who held his own against Alonso. I’d be surprised if the gap was very large at the end of next season.

It’s still one of my favourite tracks. I love the varied corners, the triple-apex turn, the elevation changes…
It’s the track that Abu Dhabi should have been.
Steven commented on the post, Mercedes deny Horner's claim Renault could quit 8 years, 4 months ago
If I recall correctly, the development is allowed to resume during the off-season for certain parts of the power unit. Progressively, what parts are allowed to be developed become more and more restricted, until […]
Steven commented on the post, Ferrari should be title favourites every year – Alonso 8 years, 4 months ago
What Ferrari should have done is dress her up as a member of another team, like Williams, and then send them over to take the photos.
Unless another team already thought of this and sent someone over dressed in […]
Steven replied to the topic Formula E Round 2: Putrajaya EPrix in the forum Formula E 8 years, 4 months ago
The two races so far have been entertaining.
The only things I’d like to see are the removal of fanboost (I don’t see the point of it; it hasn’t really been obtrusive, but I think removing it makes the most sense, in only for the ‘spirit’ of racing). Also, the speed needs to be bumped up; I find that on the straights (of which there are a lot,…[Read more]
Steven commented on the post, Hamilton fastest of flying Mercedes pair 8 years, 4 months ago
I’m sure many would have said the same during the Red Bull years (except for 2012, which is more the exception than the rule) and the Ferrari years.
Apart from the Mercedes duo, I think the battle to keep an […]
Steven commented on the post, Alonso started Ferrari exit talks last year 8 years, 4 months ago
I’m very curious to see whether Alonso or Button will take the now-vacant Audi WEC seat since Kristensen has retired. A strong argument could be made for both, and I believe both would be really good at it…
Steven commented on the post, Will Stevens to make F1 race debut in Abu Dhabi 8 years, 4 months ago
My thoughts exactly, I’m imagining this drive to be about as successful as Lotterer’s attempt.
Otherwise, I think it’ll be an achievement if Caterham finishes the race at all. All the news makes it sound like […]

It’s a weird thing to say, but I hope that either both Mercs finish, or both go DNF.
Steven commented on the post, F1's Strategy Group is a cartel, smaller teams claim 8 years, 4 months ago
So Stevens will be driving in the GP, not the test… did I read that wrong, or miss something? The front page also says that Kobayashi and Merhi are supposed to race in Abu Dhabi. Someone is lying!

I can’t say that I’m a fan of his tweets, but to be honest, if I were making that much money, I’d definitely have a few self-centered tweets of my own. However, we blame F1 drivers for being PR machines/robots […]
Steven commented on the post, How to design a better points system for Formula One 8 years, 4 months ago
The only issue is that this system would take away points for the midfield and backmarker teams, basically only rewarding the top teams for racing… I suppose a system could be made where wins are what’s counted […]
Steven commented on the post, Caterham to return in Abu Dhabi 8 years, 4 months ago
Well, it’s a chance for any half-decent racer with large bags of cash (emphasis on the latter point) to get an F1 drive.
I really hope Caterham can pull through, but their future looks bleak.

I agree with this… I would prefer people face the realities that these exist and that education is the answer, rather than denial.
It’s as if seeing a West/Johnnie Walker branded McLaren will cause millions […]
