Re: Redbull closer to merc than you think

Red Bull went for low downforce and were using a Monza spec rear wing to compensate the slow straight line speed. If Mercedes did the same thing red bull would have been nowhere near them imo. Perhaps, but I think the redbull chassis is probably the only one on the grid who could get away with a ba...

Re: Redbull closer to merc than you think

Forgive me if I'm totally off here, but I thought shorter gear ratios would be a disadvantage on a high speed circuit with long straights? I also heard their electronics had been updated to enable the boost system to harvest harder in slower sections and give more boost in fast sectors, essentially ...

Redbull closer to merc than you think

Post spa, most pundits are still hailing Mercedes to have a a 1-2 second advantage but after watching the race via live timing I'm not so sure. It could well be wishful thinking from me but this was my assessment. Mercedes obviously had the advantage in quali, but Redbull had their cars heavily gear...

Re: Vettel v Ricciardo 2014 watch

Ps good drive from Vettel, but Dan also got everything there was to get out of the Redbull today also. So no real conclusions to be drawn or parallels out of today's race, other than Seb is still hungry and Dans still quick.

Re: Vettel v Ricciardo 2014 watch

I must admit, reading the landslide of poorly formed opinion that Daniel was picked simply to be a number two driver before the season started made me cringe. Ricciardo has only ever been on the up and if theyd paid attention of his results pre f1 and ever since he joined the ranks (without a tainte...

Re: "Tough Luck" - Vettel's Headspace

Yes it's just Marko. But how does it make his other prodigy feel, these sort of comments? Oh you can't be faster, there must be something wrong with the car and I will move heaven and earth to fix it! Why would that make Ricciardo feel bad? The culprit is not "he's slower than Ricciardo so it must ...

Re: "Tough Luck" - Vettel's Headspace

I'm an Aussie f1 fan, was a big webber fan, and hailing from the same town as ricciardo i am obviously a huge fan of the new kid on the block. While, hearing the team ask vettel to move over, feels like music to my ears after all these years, I don't think he was out of line, nor do I think the tea...

Re: "Tough Luck" - Vettel's Headspace

Its pretty obvious that the way he makes him self come over is like a silly little boy he is Used to get what he want's but he cant seem to see the big picture that his his career ,keep it up and his creditability/resale value will be with midfield teams that will take the gamble. or a exit from f1...

Re: Did Vettel Cost Ricciardo The Podium?

Possibly he did, but if he thinks he can race him, regardless of the realities of the situation we could all see from our armchairs then so be it. I want to see dan on the podium more than most and I'd probably have been upset about it if it were later in the season and dan was in a known fight for ...
