This was an interesting read, thank you @f1frog!
I’d have a cheeky pick with the only car that did better than the mighty MP4/4: the legendary Brabham BT46B with its record win ratio. It won 100% of the races it […]x303 commented on the post, Mercedes 'lost 10 months in development' but know where losses to Red Bull are 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I suppose the one thing we’ve seen this year is that if a team gets their base design wrong, they’re unable to rectify that until the next season, because they, like the lower budget teams can’t just throw money […]
x303 commented on the post, Alpine defend prioritising performance over reliability after latest retirement 2 months, 3 weeks ago
People are critical but it makes sense on the long run. Last year was the last allowing for engine development. Now, only fixes for reliability or cost issues are permitted. So it was the last time to push for […]

You nailed it on the head @slowmo. Furthermore: RB was using Ferrari engines when Adrian Newey requested to switch to Renault engines.
It was the only engine capable of blowing even when the driver was not […]x303 commented on the post, How Red Bull's belief they are a "cheap target" led to their Sky boycott in Mexico 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Ok, this sum up of all the events is very telling.
Horner is very adamant that RB was fraudulently accused by name, which is not true. He stated it publicly at least twice: with the journalist cited in this […]

Horner is complaining and Toto is to blame? Are you commenting on the right article FlyingD?

@erit Care to elaborate about that prior knowledge?

Parking the car at the apex or closing the doors early is the name of the game @heidenh. What Ocon did to Bottas was fair and clever (In post race interviews, Bottas was totally fine with that and enjoyed the battle).

You are both right: the Mercedes is nowhere near the RB in pace. You can’t expect to finish in front of a faster with the same strategy.

Don’t worry Fernando: next year, you will reach the chequered flag. In 12th position, but you’ll be at the end nevertheless. Meanwhile, Alpine will be fighting for 4th in the constructors, again.
But hey, the pay […]x303 commented on the post, Mercedes in discussions with FIA over front wing upgrade it will not race 3 months ago
can remember they also tested with aeromirror constructions that were not allowed.
They are still on the cars and considered legal by the FIA.

As you know, I’m a bit sensitive when it comes to Mercedes and Toto in particular :)
Don’t you say @tifoso1989! ;)
x303 commented on the post, Red Bull's rivals caused 'abuse' of team with 'appalling' claims of cheating – Horner 3 months ago
It looks like someone made an error with the budget or RB thought they were clever and found a grey area that really didn’t exist.
The next logical move for Horner is to gather evidence and go to the FIA jury […]

You probably also know that Lewis stayed behind Max when he decelerated massively, before the brake-test.
And? Was Hamilton punished for staying behind?
I thought the stewards penalized Verstappen.x303 commented on the post, Verstappen says Red Bull have "strong belief" they did not exceed budget cap 3 months ago
You nailed it on the head SteveP. Everybody is calling for a tough punishment from the FIA.
I’d add that Verstappen called other teams “hypocrite”, insinuating that RB is merely doing what everybody is doing. […]x303 commented on the post, New rule added on drivers abandoning cars after Russell's Silverstone retirement 3 months, 1 week ago
On the other hand @sjaakfoo, Ayrton Senna saved Éric Comas’ life by cutting the engine, courtesy of him being the first on the site of the crash.

In 1969 three men propped in a tin can put on a rocket with 160.000.000 Hp went to the moon, landed and came back. What has happened to men since then?

The tale about the “tensions” has been blown out of proportions. It was over a decade ago, when they were teenagers, trying to reach F1.
Now they are older, in F1 and need to help the team to get to forefront. […]x303 commented on the post, Red Bull exceeded F1's $145m budget cap during 2021 season – FIA 3 months, 2 weeks ago
@drycrust It has been reported elsewhere that Williams procedural breach is in fact a late submission of the documents. Financially, they are within the boundaries. I have no information about RB or AM.
