Well iirc it's actually been pretty back and forth the past few years with a few standout starts from both. The thing is if you start first and Sprint away into the lead did you really get a good start? That out of the way there were some rumors about that pedal of sebs Ferrari being tied to the clu...

Ever since 2008, there has been a pattern where in every even year, the championship is decided in the final race of the season. Therefore I reckon the WDC will still be alive in Abu Dhabi. And in every even year, Vettel makes more mistakes and generally struggles more than he did in the odd year p...

When it comes to driving the cars, give the drivers some respect and allow them to put their big boy pants on. On many aspects of racing (especially safety) drivers are not to be trusted. But they are supposed to be competent drivers and know how to drive their cars. So let's relax the track limits...

But the fact that it's possible to look at a high speed flat out corner and think yeah let's put a drs zone here. That is just risking it leaving it to the drivers. And then I remember when Fred was at Ferrari he had his drs stuck open from some malfunction in the wrong part of the track just becaus...

Okay maybe we didn't know it was RoGro but we had to know that letting drivers keep the drs open through a corner wasn't going to end well. Have you ever played the F1 game? I can barely hold my line in Russia on the not so straight with the drs open. We had to know that inviting a driver to turn wi...

They ought to grab one of the Red Bull boys not sure which, maybe Leclerc could be an option as well. Though I doubt Seb would welcome such a challange.

I had to go far and wide to the subreddits of the internet, before I finally found a way to watch the race, I was so excited when ESPN messed up Australia and decided to run Ad free all year, but they tell me its on ABC this week and when I open it I get some parade instead.

If you change all the tracks to aid overtaking you just end up with 20 very similar layouts. None of which has any flow. Why do you presume so? There can't only be a couple of ways a track can be laid out to promote overtaking. There must be innumerable, the only obstacle thus far is discovering th...

Just saw the supposed track which was proposed. It looks awfully dangerous. The track runs over the port with 2 long straights over water, while this may be fine for a few years the first thing I feared was what if a driver gets launched into the sky and over the barriers towards the water. This cou...

Something I was thinking about during qualy... First off obviously crazy and fun race.

I just read the article describing the "outrage" of Kimi not checking on the mechanic after stopping his car in the pitlane. I don't quite understand this.

That Brawn car looked an awful lot like last year's Honda! Those cheaters!

First off hats off to Hamilton on that lap he put together he was way on the edge. The surprise was that Kimi is on pace with Seb for me. I don't know if the set up gremlins from yesterday are still plaguing Seb? The other thing I thought of was back when Kimi was at Lotus w Grosjean they were field...

Shouldn't really be a surprise here... They know (and I agree) that Kvyat wasn't going to be a star. Sainz could be but they also received an attractive offer from Renault and if Red Bull isn't an option for him, then it was smarter to accept Renault's offer. Considering they have Honda engines nex...

So they finished 2nd and 3rd to last Gasly looked the better driver but spun and finished behind Hartley. One of the commentators mentioned both drivers are confirmed for 2018. The Toro Rosso's got sandwiched by the two Saubers, they had nothing to offer Renault or Haas or Mclaren or Williams in ter...

Oh yeah! This was on my list to mention and I forgot! In what world do these moves make sense?

emb1496

Hard to say, but to play the Devil's Advocate I would have to point out that both Sainz and Kvyat scored points in their last finish for the team... Maybe it's not the car that's gone backwards recently? You're correct I don't think the cars gone backwards or at least not as far back as the back of...

So they start the year well with Kvyat and Sainz. 2 relatively highly regarded drivers. Sainz -> Renault, Kvyat torpedoes his own career, They bring Gasly in and Hartley two weeks later, Now Hartley starting last and Gasly 17? I think. Regardless they seem to be going backwards and instead of doing ...

I think a dog of a car is one with a bad chassis, and I mean in terms of balance. For me the Ferrari was a dog because it didnt move anywhere near where I would expect it when it rained. So if in the dry a car qualifies 6th and in the wet you find it down in 13th theres a serious problem there. Also...

It was a mistake but when they were looking around RoGro was starting his end of the season charge nobody knew that he would outclass Kimi towards the end of the season but I think he was the gem that Ferrari missed on.

With posts on the forum bashing backmarkers I'm thinking they could get points from reliability problems from other teams in the early going... Even a point would go a long way for them and with ten drivers scoring it's not entirely impossible

Getting back to the original question, I believe that a comparison is also being made with the GP2 cars. yes, they are approaching the lap times of Formula One cars, but there are very good reasons why this is happening. The first is the evolution of speed. Each year any racing car can get faster. ...

Villeneuve did not win the title in his debut season, he came in second behind Hill and won in his second year. Which actually helps your point :) Anyway, I'm not sure on this one. Up until now their careers have some resemblances but I don't mean that in a bad way. I think Hamilton is a better dri...

emb1496

Very far-fetched, I know, but I cannot help but notice the similarities as I look back upon the seasons of 10 years ago. Villeneuve came into F1 in 1997 with a storm, winning the world title in his debut year. In 1998 he was still very competitive but over the years he seemed to lose his edge and ev...

So everyone knew that should Vettel win he would get the record... We also knew that he was champ and that they had said Webber would not be gifted a victory.

So... why are the kerbs so high anyway? Someone must have proposed that they be made higher, what was their business case?

To be honest, if they stay on the track they have no real need to be troubling those curbs. It all stems from drivers not respecting the limits of the track really. When a driver is laid up in hospital with spinal injuries and contemplating his career, perhaps a specialist will think to look up fro...
