Lotus are looking very strong this year.
But when the pair went side-by-side into turn 13 Hamilton locked his tyres badly. That forced him to pit early and wrecked his chances of making it to the end without a […]

Brilliantly Machiavellian.

You mean incorrect, erroneous.
Switchbacker commented on the post, McLaren confirm Lowe to leave at end of year 8 years, 1 month ago
I mean, can we really know who has the most positive influence in such large, secretive engineering teams?
Switchbacker commented on the post, McLaren confirm Lowe to leave at end of year 8 years, 1 month ago
+1
I was hoping to get some insight from the article as to how important/talented Paddy Lowe is – can anyone advise me how strong an addition he is?
Why was Ecclestone saying Brawn was going to leave? Seems […]

+1. Wild speculation.

His point was that the engine and chassis are designed as an optimal package, whereas a customer won’t have that same discretion.

Yeah, they must have same functionality, just accessed differently. Like on F1 2012, open menu, select tyres, select compound. But 1,000 times more complex.

Brawn said 3 months ago they had been focussing on 2013 car for quite some time, so maybe they have overhauled design to some degree. Vast resources and a talented team, seems quite possible they could be right up […]

Michael: That humble pie looks good, but I think Ill let mine mature for a few years.

Alonso lost points through driver error, Hamilton lost those victories to operational errors.

I think the concensus is that Hamilton totally out performed Button this season, who was clearly a far tougher prospect than Massa in 1st half.
Hamilton is an outstanding qualifier.

Just running in turbulent air for so long, makes a lot of difference.
In any case the cars were similar, yet Vettel failed to defend his position.

Even in criminal courts judges make mistakes, and are corrupt.
As much as I love F1 it is notorious for its politics, and the FIA are far from being beyond suspicion either.
As I said I don’t buy it, but that […]Switchbacker commented on the post, 2012 F1 Driver Rankings #1: Fernando Alonso 8 years, 4 months ago
Yep good point, they introduced enough doubt to convince many, but personally I don’t buy it for a second.

@keithcollantine Yes indeed, and much to your credit. That was the point I was making, in the face of those proclaiming to know the absolute truth.

About 50% do according to the poll ;)

@keithcollantine Yep I got that, but the spin you put on it, IMO, shows a preference.
On reading your excellent summaries it did feel like you wanted to jusitify Alonso at #1, despite the content actually […]

Ha, yeah sure, only evidence is that him and Briatore were caught on camera talking about it post race, Briatore looking at the camera guiltily and gesturing to Alosno to be quiet. Apart from that yeah nothing. […]
