Re: Margin between the Red Bull guys in Spain

Just wondering, what would effect of Max stepping in Kvyat's car with Kvyat's best Spain setup? He will have to change the setup to his liking, while Ric already has a pretty good idea from testing. Any idea how much that would cost him +-? It's only a wild guess but I would say they will start off...

Re: Could RBR send Kvyat to STR mid season?

Can someone remind me of how Verstappen went in Australia? Who did he crash into? Was it.... was it....his team mate?? This is just ruthless. Although luck was on Kvyat's side last year when he outscored Ricciardo, credit where credit's due, he was there to score the points. 1 dodgy race, 2 dodgy c...

Re: Could RBR send Kvyat to STR mid season?

People seem to be forgetting Verstappen is still a teenager and currently leads all drivers in penalty points. If your reason for getting rid of Kvyat is because you want a more mature driver who will make less mistakes, Verstappen is pretty much as far away from that as you can get.

Re: Fuel flow control - What happened?

As I remember the short version is this: In the first round Ricciardo's FIA-mandated flow sensor was badly inaccurate in early practice. It was replaced with another one, which was also bad. So the first one that was already proven faulty was put back on. There was some back and forth about offsets ...

Ricciardo and Bottas look pretty evenly matched. Kvyat has been impressive but he needs to land a top drive before he can be considered more likely to win. Voted Ricciardo because he's in a Red Bull.

Nice graphs, it took me a while to figure out that the y axis was "seconds behind the leader", until I did I was really confused.

The drop off in Vettel's lap times at the end of the Belgian GP were because he was battling with Button, Alonso, and Magnussen.

I don't understand why people seem to regard Button as so mediocre. He was more or less on par with Hamilton from 2010-2012, beating him pretty handily in 2011, beat his teammate comfortably last year. What has he done wrong? You can't win in a slow car.
