@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.

@velocityboy
I’m not so sure on that. I highly doubt any team knew what to expect whether the race would restart or not. I think your position is very speculative.

@velocityboy
Well, first of all Masi followed most of the rules laid out regarding SC. A red flag use would fallow no rules. Big difference. In this case you can argue Masi did his best to follow procedure, you […]

@velocityboy when journalists ask him about incidents he says things like: “I don’t want to discuss it, I don’t want to THEM [who?] the satisfaction”, or something like that. That was his line after Jeddah, anyway.

@velocityboy I think if the stewards sat with him and went over every incident, Max would lose his license as they wouldn’t see him fit to drive in the sport.

@velocityboy You’d think they have some sort of set of rules which need to be applied similarly by all stewards.

Yet somehow the stewards think they can make up their own rules. Or just don’t know which rules […]

@velocityboy Imho I’d be very surprised at that. To me, when the incident happened they were so quick to decide it was only noteworthy, that I think there simply was not enough there other than hard racing to i […]

@velocityboy
I agree Lewis is a very accomplished at extending stints if not one of the better drivers at that. Prolonging life of tires is only one aspect of a race and making wheel adjustments isn’t the key […]

@velocityboy
Russell did just fine in Bahrain last year filling in for Lewis. Making adjustments every corner doesn’t correlate to faster laps. Just sayin. Plus, you are taking anecdotal data to conclude that. […]
