I think a lot of Vettels future depends on how he stacks up against Lance, and whether he can stay away from is prima dona status within a team (the kind he got a Red bull and first few years at Ferrari). He’s got […]

I think the decision to use KERS hurt Mclaren and Ferrari a lot more than their lack of preparation for 2009. Missing the double diffuser trick hurt them as well.

I can only hope some midfield […]

Which is significantly higher than anything Vettel will achieve this season ;)

Or if he gets beaten by Lance.. that will crush the ego of any driver on the grid.

If he has to stand in for either driver… he’ll do better.

Would have to agree with his assessment. Mercedes are pretty rapid and efficient at fixing problems with the car.. and given that there was a 3 week break after race 1.. and another 2 week following it, it should […]

@peartree

Considering that they spent most of their development tokens just fitting in a Mercedes PU in to a chassis designed around the Renault engine, I think they’ve done a pretty stellar job.

@joshgeake

Biggest budget .. that would probably be Ferrari .. although you wouldn’t guess it looking at their performance

Let’s face it … they would have done the best job for 8 seasons in a row. It took […]

Weird. I would think that because of the high centre of gravity they would be slow to get heat in the tyres and fast to get them out… just because the car seems less pressed to the ground than it’s rivals.

I don’t think the conditions on the race weekend were any different from when the team has raced in Bahrain in previous seasons. Also, they have serious issues if their car underperforms with cut minor environment […]

@jimfromus
He can’t continue to finish 4 or more places behind his teammate.

Behind Lance Stroll… yes.. Baby Lance, who finished behind a retiring Massa, tow years spent behind Perez.. and was often s […]

Glad they could justify they got Mick in mostly for the talent and partly for the financial gain.

Now let’s see Steiner make a comment on Mazepin’s addition to the team…

Honestly, Vettel doesn’t strike me as a driver that has grown at all over the years. He constantly makes statements like he’s “not at home with the car” or handling isn’t exactly to his liking.. blah blah.

He […]

I think Max’s first stint was more telling about race pace. He just couldn’t pull away from the Mercedes of Hamilton. Lewis was within 2 seconds and was always a threat of pulling and undercut. If Red bull had […]

Hahahaha

Will be interesting to see how he stacks up against Gasly. Gasly has been mightily impressive all of last season… and he’s set the bar pretty high for the 2nd Alpha Tauri driver.

It’s too early for sure.. but the initial signs aren’t promising either.

Personally, I think he’ll get more comfortable with the car and should perform close to the car’s potential. Although, Vettel doesn’t […]

@ben-n
Stroll is an interesting case and I’ll admit to being a little biased against him, but I feel he has 3 or 4 fantastic days each year and seems fairly average for the rest of it.

I’d agree with your a […]

Surprised Mazepin got more than a 2. Vettel didn’t really deserve more than 2 this weekend either.

If you ask me.. I thought there were 5 stars this weekend – 1) Verstappen 2) Hamilton 3) Norris 4) Leclerc 5) Alonso

If he hadn’t had those power unit issues and the sandwich bag problem.. I reckon he’s finish […]
