I wonder how Rosberg would be fairing if he decided not to quit. Personally I think Rosberg would have locked out the front row a few times with Hamilton, aiding Hamilton win another race or 2.

Vyse

I highly doubt the Mercedes is turned up to full whack. Its probably out putting about 85% power, about defcon 2. As this is the first race its a chance to size up the competition without showing your complete hand. Mercedes out putted enough power to remain on top, while the rest of the field showe...

Looks simple, very simple, very basic.

Vyse

Return to V10?

Vyse

Ralph Schumacher. Experienced, wont get in Hamiltons way, German.

Vyse

Hope
- Mercedes builds an absolute monster
- Hamilton destroys Rosberg

Fear
- Mercedes builds a duffer
- Rosberg beats Hamilton

Vyse

You should make another poll. Will Ferrari build another dog of a car?

Vyse

I think Rosberg has to finish the title race early, otherwise he will regret it. If its leads on to AD I see Hamilton taking the title. A front left wing to back rear tyre should sort it out for Rosberg.

Do not all Mercedes engines use the same clutch? Are the clutches in the FI, Williams and Marussia all different?

Vyse

Who is to say they are anywhere near the limit yet? Merc will dominate the season. There's this idea that lack of tokens allows everyone else to close up but how do we know that Mercedes don't have sone engine that is a huge upgrade on what they have just now that they just can't implement under the...

Vyse

So he has quit C4?

Vyse

Yes I was joking :D But what you are referring to is the other version of VTEC which is going from economy cam to normal cam. While the other version of VTEC which you see in Type R and NSX is where the engine goes from normal cam to performance cam. Am sure if VVT was allowed in F1 then Honda would...

Vyse

Where is the VTEC dip?

Vyse

This is what a street circuit should be like, not that Monaco peaky.

Vyse

I am all for it.

P.S. That diesel lump sounds better than current F1 cars.

Vyse

Rosberg was coasting on half power most of that race.

Vyse

A letter. Let me guess, nothing is going to happen. If the drivers want to achieve something actions speak louder than words.

Vyse

Oh great.

Vyse

Stop moaning, qualifying changes mid way through a season is nothing new.

Vyse

Mercedes say they will test new "innovative" nose on Wednesday. Walrus MkII?

Vyse

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner.

Vyse

In stead of adding chicanes they should be removing them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUtNwm4qIpc Watch the above video and decide for yourself what sounds better. For us to have experienced such monstrous sounds compared to what we have now is a crime. If F1 can get its act together the gold standard should be great racing with fabulous sounding cars....

Vyse

Is it me or does 200mph in that video not look like 200mph in real life?

Vyse

What tread, they are slicks. Let's do it ! ;-) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/34313145 Couasnon said there had been confusion over what Michelin meant when it said it would produce a "durable" tyre. "We mean a tyre that you can push to the limit for a given time," he said. While the Pirelli t...

Not a fan of those sound like a loud fart after a long night on the curry. F1 cars are meant to be screaming, which the current engines dont seem to do. I think this very high pitched and very loud screaming sound are overrated. Lets take a look at the huge engines. I think the bigger they are the b...

Check out that speed difference, ok it was 2014 but still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmNfb1eVho0 edit: 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUtNwm4qIpc What is the likely explanation of the 5 second gap? I thought the 2015 cars had similar power output as the 2004 cars, in addition the 2015 ca...

That sound at 1:34

Vyse

How can there be too many races, surely you would want to see more racing than less. If teams need more crew members that's up to them, as a fan 95% of my interest is in the racing.

Vyse

Montoya for FIA president?

Vyse

If this was considered the best of a bad bunch it just shows have badly F1 has fallen as a spectator sport.

Vyse

18 inch rims were being tested:

They look a tad too large.

Vyse

How do you know this? Just raise the revs back to 16-18k. Right now the sound is horrible not because of volume but quality. It does not sound like the engine is being stressed to its limits, which it isn't. This is the first time F1 has sounded like this; Tame, boring, slow. It needs to change asap...

Vyse

When they are talking about 6 seconds faster is that per lap or per race?

Per race sounds like not a lot faster but per lap seems quite a jump in performance. Licks lips...

Vyse

Why the need for two turbos? They can reach 1000bhp easily with just 1 turbo.

johnp wrote:what I'm reading is that they'll go with a twin turbo V6, how difficult is it to change the current engines to a twin turbo configuration? (do they have to come up with a totally new engine design)

Vyse

1000BHP minimum, wide tyres, wider rear wing, tyres that aren't made from cheese.

Vyse

Mercedes are going to destroy Ferrari tomorrow. In 24 hours time your theory will be left in tatters.

Vyse

I think the ultimate 2004 record to chase is JPM Monza 2004 lap.

I dont think JPM record was this lap but what a noise.

Has the RB livery actually changed in the last 7 seasons?
