I spoke to some guys who worked with him in a simulator and they said that his peripheral vision is not as good as other drivers. Yeah right. You met "some guys" and they just told you that for no reason. Your choice in what you believe but yes I was doing work experience in a race simulator and we...

Hey all. Can't wait for the new season to get underway. I'm wondering if anyone knows how the teams go about testing the aero benefits of a coanda exhaust? As far as I know all the teams use scaled down wind tunnels to test the aero on new components, but obviously no team is building scaled down e...

This would also give a lower ...

She joined Williams this year, but was married to Toto in 2011.. Dunno if she had contact before then but Toto bought into Williams back in 2009

Read that back to yourself, in the past 5 years she accumulated 4 points. Two of her team mates did more than that in 1 race. In there two season together Green got 59 points, two wins and two 3rds. Susie got 4 points. Hardly Normally when they only score in one race in a season it means exceptiona...

I can't help but agree with this.. You can say she was with a lower Merc team in DTM but the fact is that her teammates were scoring points/podiums while she could barely break the top 10 Except they didn't look at the 2012 results for starters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_DTM_season Her team...

If they were to focus on 2014, would they be allowed to test the car throughout the year on track??

Just because she doesn't have a pair of actual *Definitely True* doesn't mean she's any worse than any other pay driver we have ever seen. No, of course not. Her totally unremarkable record speaks for that. And comparing her to the worst drivers in previous decades is stupid. The level of talent in...

Agree they they should wait till 2014, I have always wondered how much better Caterham and Virgin would have done had they come in for start of 2009 instead of 2010.

It would be nice to see a US team involved, especially if there will be 2 races there in 2014.

So HRT entry maybe bought and a new team being based in Silverstone take over. Will it work? Do we want another backmarker?

Hulkenburg - Brazil

I dunno if Alonso is good at Monza or Ferrari just tries really hard on their monza spec car

I wouldn't be surprised to see the stepped nose gone come Australia; the way he says yet and he didn't see particularly confident in his answer.

I think we will see less stepped noses this year either way

That's last years car for a start, and the red just ruins the livery. Don't agree, there's a number of differences: front wing uses 4 elements outboard rather than 3 sidepod wing and way it mounts to sidepod engine cover exhaust actual exhausts granted they wont have put everything on it yet but wh...

"Then the comment of the great Jackie Stewart that Vettel must go to another team to prove himself. This is said by someone who scored all his greatest successes in just one team, Tyrrell. This is such crap by Marko, Sir Jackie won for 3 different teams and and championships for two (Tyrell and Mat...

Health and safety regulations in the UK have put paid to wet weather running, too many people worried about getting pursued by the government in the event of an injury at the track. I don't get this... I've raced at plenty of circuits in the UK in hire karts, even in monsoon like conditions Yes thi...

I found indoor closer to outdoor karting than rallying, The circuits are generally colder because there is no sunlight and there are often materials other than tarmac used. Comparing surfaces only, I'd say that outdoor tracks on a dry day are going to offer the most grip but I don't know the relati...

I haven't looked at 2013 spec much, but in tyres of generic tyre aero the shape of them has a very large effect on the wake they produce. You get vortices forming off the shoulders and changing from a rounded shoulder to a square will change where flow separates and which direction these vortices ro...

I would like to see tests given out by your finishing position in the previous year (or something to that extent). Giving the teams further behind chance to catch up.

Honeywell make a lot of sensors which you would use on an F1 car, so definitely good tie up in that respect

pyratheon141

I think the best way to think about it is, if you are 0.1sec slower through every corner than another driver you will end up around 1.6sec a lap slower.

F1 drivers are capable of taking the maximum through every corner almost every time despite changing fuel loads and tyre deg.

James Calado has been awesome this year! In his first GP2 season he was fighting guys who have 6 years experience (Valsecchi and Razia). Though the last few races were bad he was the most impressive given his experience. I think Valsecchi and Razia have taken too long to come to the front. Robin Fri...

Congratulations to Audi and a well deserved win. If Im being perfectly honest however Im getting a little tired of waking up to the Audi parade. Perhaps DRS and Pirelli tires... ;) True. Total dominance in a sport is never interesting. Unfortunately, none of the other teams had what it would take t...

Coz it never rains there. Fact is that Canada this year was as boring as Valencia and so is any other track that stays dry during a race weekend. When did we last have a dry exciting race? Only weather or untimed SCs spruce up races these days. Valencia is devoid of either and in this era of filled...

Great laps by vettel yesterday but for me Alonso and Hamilton are the best drivers so far, you can't forget that LH would have dominated Spain had it not been for Mclaren and would be leading the championship. Vettel has driven well and so has Webber but Red Bull have shown that operationally and st...

You have to give CM a break - at the end of the day they had to cater for the 'non-F1' fans as well as the hardcore fans/gamers. I was quite impressed with F1 2011 over its predecessor, and think CM will keep on improving the series with 2012. You can't please everyone 8) Agreed. If they made the A...

Well maybe Williams should start replacing Maldonado rather than Senna every week as obviously Maldonado doesn't need the track time as much atm.

Currently lying 3rd in GP2 with 1 win, 1 pole and 2 podiums. I think he is one to watch for the future, espically considering heis only in his first year of GP2 and most of the other guys like Valsecchi and Razia have been there for about 4 years.

Thoughts?

0.4secs for every 10kg onboard. You need 2.34kg per lap.... So Hamilton could have carried another 6laps worth and still taken pole.

Some mechanics got robbed at gun point in Brazil and Button nearly did too... This wasn't an attack on the team they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time and with at least 500 F1 personnel (not including GP2, Porsche supercup) there was always going to be someone that got caught up in it. ...

You could read what he said as Vettel needs a superior car to win

Sebastian Vettel needs a car in which certain conditions are met - and our car doesn't have these,"
"We have a car that does not have the superiority which we had last year.

Rosberg didn't use his DRS once and had great pace so that isn't the only thing making them quick. Bahrain will be hotter so it will be interesting to see if they have found the answer to their tyre problems or if the track temps did it

I seem to remember both Button and Webber having to do a few overtakes.

Hamilton and Webber were behind the Williams after the 3rd stop so there's a good 6 places in the closing stage along
