Erzen commented on the post, Horner rubbishes Aston Martin's "naive" call for aerodynamic rules change 20 hours, 14 minutes ago
This is exactly the reason why i don’t see Aston Martin challenging for wins next year, and why i think McLaren could have a realistic shot at the titles with the regulation changes.
Even last year as Racing […]
Erzen commented on the post, McLaren's reduced gap to Mercedes "encouraging" for Seidl 1 week, 3 days ago
We don’t know how big the advantage is though. And just because it’s a loophole it doesn’t mean it gives the team a half second advantage per lap. And of course it’s just the PU, that’s where all of McLaren’s […]
Erzen commented on the post, McLaren's reduced gap to Mercedes "encouraging" for Seidl 1 week, 3 days ago
From what i understand the underside of the gearbox casing needs to be changed in order to adapt the mclaren style flaps to the diffuser. On top of that there’s no guarantee that just plugging that fix into your […]

Given i’m just an outsider i’m trying to keep an open mind on Vettel’s performance post-Ferrari. After all, being stuck for a whole year with an employer that’s sacked you and already hired a replacement will […]

I second this. Maybe get Walter Koster onboard as a columnist too xD
Erzen commented on the post, Analysis: F1 field closes up as Mercedes lose two seconds in four months 2 weeks, 6 days ago
@jerejj That’s been a trend i’ve noticed in almost every circuit since 2017. The step from 2015 to 2016 in most circuits is almost as big as the step from 2016 to 2017. The 2016 cars were incredibly fast, and i […]

@spoutnik yeah that is a very good point indeed! Though we shouldn’t forget that this year’s cars were designed without the budget cap, and even after the cap the bigger teams will still have an inherent advantage […]

I honestly have a lot of difficulty seeing Alpha Tauri as regular contenders for top of the midfield. This isn’t the first time they’ve done well in preseason testing and then failed to live up to the hype/promise […]
Erzen commented on the post, Sainz and Perez had Covid-19 vaccinations in Bahrain 1 month ago
They wouldn’t have the vaccine offered to them if the at-risk population weren’t already vaccinated. Bahrain has a rather small population (1.6 million) and has one of highest vaccination rates in the world, which […]
Erzen commented on the post, Bottas vs Rosberg: Hamilton's Mercedes team mates compared after 78 races each 1 month, 1 week ago
I feel the last paragraph speaks volumes. The way that Hamilton bounced back from the 2016 title defeat is nothing short of incredible, and considering the level he was in before that it’s unbelievable that he’s […]
Erzen commented on the post, Sainz tight-lipped over rumoured crash during 18-inch tyre test for Pirelli 1 month, 2 weeks ago
@domo70 yes, during the 2016 season it was only Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes who were able to build test mules for the 2017 tires. They were required to share the data with the other teams but they still ended […]
Erzen commented on the post, Sainz tight-lipped over rumoured crash during 18-inch tyre test for Pirelli 1 month, 2 weeks ago
9 of the 10 teams are doing 18inch wheel tests for 2022, with the one team not doing it seemingly choosing not to do so due to the cost of building and preparing the mule car. They’ll be the only disadvantaged […]
Erzen commented on the post, First pictures: Alfa Romeo presents its C41 for the 2021 season 1 month, 3 weeks ago
The only thing that i didn’t like in the Alfa Romeo liveries in the past couple of years was the Orlen logo on the side of the sidepods. It kinda cluttered the space for me, the new livery fixes that issue without […]
Erzen commented on the post, Stripping Verstappen of 2017 US podium was "one of the toughest decisions" – steward 2 months, 1 week ago
I find Verstappen not being penalised for his move on Magnussen in Mexico 2019 more of a joke decision. One where he was penalised for overtaking another driver while blatantly shortening the track and getting all […]

Well yes, it is a business and any business exists to make money. Why is that still a sticking point for people? If you want to watch a bunch of people do sports just out of passion go watch your local U13 […]

Bottas had damage and wasn’t a good reference point when it came to trying strategies for Hamilton during that race, he kept spinning. Hamilton made his own strategy calls and the team let him have at it because […]
Erzen commented on the post, Ferrari CEO Camilleri retires "with immediate effect" 4 months, 1 week ago
Very aptly put: you don’t think that he’s a power hungry type of individual, but then again, can you say that with any certainty without knowing the man personally? You don’t work on the top 5% of your field […]

You’re correct, Binotto was head of the PU department starting sometime around 2014.
@minilemm Binotto wanted the position himself. There was a power struggle between him and Arrivabene in 2018 that almost led […]

If he qualified for a SL at some point in the past 2 years, he could’ve acquired it and just renewed it in the meantime. Renewal is easier than acquiring a new one. Louis Delatraz has one i think, even though […]

@carlosmedrano Ah yes, because the car company that they took the team over from was so successful in F1! Road car success has little to do with how well the team will do in F1.
