I imagine RBR's strategy would look something like this? Assuming it's a dry one-stop race. PLAN A: One stop for Ultra Softs (Lap 45-78) Scenarios: -Ricciardo stays in P1 and has longer first stint; as long as he has the tyres/pace to keep the gap over the Mercs/Vettel until his pit window opens. -R...

http://www.gpguide.com/Statistics.aspx Slightly clunky site that hasn't really been updated since launch in 2010 but access to full database used for the fabled (Marlboro) Grand Prix Guide by Jacques Deschenaux handed out to F1 insiders every season. Full stats for every driver/manufacturer/engine/...

Finally Sky realising no one actually listened to what Lewis had to say post-race? It was his call.. end of story. No it is not. People are paid fortunes to calculate these things and inform the driver it is the wrong choice. Yes of course, but Mercedes also pay Lewis a fortune to give valuable fee...

I being generous enough, have purchased the F1 access for my desktop as well as my mobile as I can't live without live timing $26.99 for the desktop live access. 1 discrepancy in this is that I can't make out which driver is in the pits & which is not. Earlier the car number next to the driver woul...

I'm shattered. But I guess we knew this day would come. For my needs, I see no value in paying $60/month simply for the F1 (I think the current deal is $50/m sports package, 12 months, plus $10/m for HD). [If I needed FoxFooty I would probably sign up, but am covered by my club membership and FTA] ...

Meanwhile I'm sure Red Bull can't believe their luck..

They'll be extremely confident of having the quickest package again next season, and their driver salary budget will be about the same as Sauber!

Well, all Ricciardo would need in order to win the title is that both Mercedes drivers basically stop racing. Or at least, do not show up on any podium for the rest of the year. To start with. It is an outside chance, but the point is there is still a chance where realistically there shouldn't be a...

The Australian Grand Prix Corporation believes the new engine sound is that bad it justifies a 'breach of contract' and is threatening legal action. Apparently at least five promoters from other GP hosting countries were at the track and share the same view.. http://www.theage.com.au/sport/motorspor...

Yep did 8 laps on the one set of inters!

Well done in terms of what? There are 2 other guys who preceded this guys at STR who did better and neither of them get the respect or praise this guys does as well as his current teammate who have all outdone Ricciardo.

Just watched that as well. Great news! For those that didn't see it basically when webber was asked who he would like to see in his seat next year he replied "it's basically a done deal. I think we all know who it's going to be, an it's great news for him and great news for Australia so I'm very ha...

Typical Vettel, moaning about not having his way. Kimi made him look like a jackass with much older tyres and slower car. Then Vettel took it back on the podium when interviewed, wimp :lol: Bit harsh. He said on the podium that it was heat of the moment stuff: he's only human after all And there's ...

He did 25 laps fully fueled and u think he could only do 20 laps on stint 2 with less fuel? Thing is he had clear air for the majority of his first stint, and it was those laps stuck behind Alonso in his second stint that really killed his run - and any chance his second set of mediums had of getti...

Not exactly what the OP was after but still worth a mention... Long before it's redevelopment for Melbourne's first world championship event in 1996, the Albert Park circuit was the home of the 'Australian Grand Prix' from 1953-58 and ran counter-clockwise.. http://images.wikia.com/f1/images/c/c7/Me...

Ridiculous - the only reason RBR pitted Webber was because the undercut backfired and he was going to pass Seb
He would still be leading

kmac

It was his best chance all year to go out with a win, he won in 2010, was quicker than vettel in 2011 and won in 2012. Hopefully he gets at least one more before retiring. Just so happens we're heading to Nurburgring this weekend, arguably an even better circuit for Mark: -Qualified on Pole last 2 ...

wow 20 second penalty would leave him 10th

Franz Tost : "As for Daniel, we had three issues: he lost time at the first pit stop when we struggled to get one wheel off the car and that lost him track position, then at the second stop, we had to delay his release as another car was coming in, again losing about three seconds. Finally, with th...

kmac

To be fair he didn't actually gain any places - he was already ahead of Raikonnen before Grosjean spun and came out behind the Ferrari's - and anyway didn't have an option.

The few cars that followed him through got an advantage though - Vernge was complaining about that post race.

kmac

Cost Lewis 2 places again. Slow pit stop, lack of info to their driver. Jeesh these guy are terrible they are 1.5 seconds slower at average too the main competitors. :evil: 1.5 ? the times I seen were 3.8 for Ferrari and 4.2 for McLaren. I thought thats what it said anyway. At average this season. ...

Webber felt that he lost out by running ahead of Vettel on track. The Sakhir circuit is famously dusty and appeared to get quicker the longer the session lasted. "I think it is always beneficial if you go a bit later," he added. "This track was sensitive all weekend, Seb did a good lap and a good p...

Its like Seb has a special engine mapping for his last lap runs. It seems he's always the one who goes out last. Still, I think 3rd is MW's best qualifying finish at Bahrain so he can't be too upset. No they actually take it in turns to go out last in Q3 Seb just happened to have it this weekend wh...

Yeah super job by Dan today and people are starting to take notice but he really needs a stand out race to keep building that case for his future. Apart from the trouble caused by others so far this season there have been times where his race pace hasn't been overly consistent. Fix that and he's on ...

The team principals were asked before the circus left for Bahrain and they all agreed to go. Sure, FI had the worst experience of all the teams but first, it wasn't directed personally at the crew or the team, it was a reaction to F1 as a whole but Force India turned it into a personal issue; secon...

Mark didnt get a good run today in quali. He said he misjudged the gap and caught 1 of the drivers.
