@velocityboy In 1999 they did not have a dominant car. Ferrari actually won the Constructors Championship. McLaren of course was very quick, but not very reliable. In the first race both cars retired for […]

@velocityboy In 1998 one of the main reasons Ferrari was able to catch up was that McLaren’s rear brake pedal was banned mid-season.

@velocityboy It’s probably not as simple though. I remember Peter Prodromou who rejoined McLaren after a spell with Newey but somehow the McLaren never did a lasting impression. Engine, chassis, aero, all of it, […]

As you allude to @velocityboy, we already know from the multi21 situation what kind of leader Horner is, I think.

A slight difference might be that Mateschitz isn’t there now, so perhaps dr. Marko’s influence […]

@velocityboy isn’t it funny how the FIA tried to cover it up by underplaying every one of the 13 counts?

@velocityboy Not to mention that bith Tsunoda and Gasly took penalties in Spa to help who ? You guess it, to help Max.. It was definitely a pre planned action from Red Bull and AT.

@velocityboy Nice observation.

@velocityboy That said, Mac is a top team and they ‘should’ be able to improve during this season and for next year. There are worse places he could be. The potential should be there.

@velocityboy How many years has it been sincd trackside cranes were used in a race that wasn’t Monaco? Certainly well before Liberty took over – and that’d be the FIA’s jurisdiction anyway surely.

@velocityboy indeed. In fact my Sky box went stupid, so for the last 5 laps I had no sound. It was pure bliss!

@velocityboy You’d demand but your demands wouldn’t be listened to lol

@velocityboy Wasn’t quite expecting to see an Allen Iverson quote on RaceFans.

@velocityboy As I have surmised elsewhere, I think it is too early days and it will not surprise me at all to see tweaks coming to DRS, but I think F1 just wants to see the teams and drivers settle in with these […]

@velocityboy Which is it’s entire purpose of course. It’s out there to slow the field down for safety reasons so isn’t meant to be going too quickly.

That’s why I never get the argument you see come up every so […]

@velocityboy I hear you but I am going to suggest why they didn’t do that it is was just too early days with these cars for them to do anything but just start driving them and getting a feel for what they have […]

The point of him first saying lapped cars can’t unlap was to make sure the race did NOT need to finish behind the safety car @velocityboy

Because unlapping the cars would cost an extra lap of SC, according to […]

@velocityboy I love the Big Bang Theory and the new show Sheldon!

Well, I think Toto, his wife, and Lewis feel very different – I’m not sure this appeal is being dropped willingly.

I feel like if I […]

@velocityboy
I’ll also add that I am NO FAN of MAX! I like Lewis better as a driver! Lewis is a complete driver IMO.

@velocityboy
I don’t have a horse in this race either as I’m Ferrari Fan myself and have grown to dislike for Both Wolfe and Horner.

I think the handball reference is not the best comparison. I agree that the […]

@velocityboy – Except, if Merc pitted HAM would not be behind VER on the same tires. HAM would have either have: 1) been ahead if RBR still pitted, or 2) been behind if RBR did not pit, but HAM on new vs VER old tires.
