Re: Tyre choice free for all teams

I don't think this could ever happen due to safety grounds. One of the main reasons that Pirelli choose against softer tires for any particular track is if they believe there is a risk of the tyre overheating and blowing up. They do that based on tests and experiments. For example, see quote below r...

Re: Son of quiz thread

Never taken part in these before so what exactly should I do? I'm guessing they have never scored a point. Just have a bash at an answer and, assuming you're right, pose the next question. Afraid that's not the right answer though. True that they haven't scored, but neither have several others. You...

Re: Canada - Gap to Race Leader Graph

Agree with everyone else on the awesomeness of these graphs. Thanks! My one suggestion regarding the colour coding would be instead of the key (or as well as), to have the drivers' initials at the end of their lines to make it easier to see who's who. Think that would make it a bit clearer. Still lo...

Re: Canada - Gap to Race Leader Graph

Like everyone else, I like this. Out of interest, was Hamilton easing it home at the very end or were his tires going off and GroJo catching him? Either way, very interesting graph. I like Hamilton's massive drop back then resurgence when he went to the SuperSofts. Good work, thanks for compiling t...

That awkward moment when you put "^^^" at the beginning of your post, only to find out you're the first post on a new page.

Worst decisions in F1?

I was looking at the BBC's piece today on Emerson Fittipaldi and reading about how he "wasted" 10 potentially very successful years by choosing to set up his own Brazilian team and then to retire for 5 years. It got me thinking what do you think the worst decisions in Formula 1 have been? It can be ...

Re: What did Vettel say on the radio after the race?

Here's what he said (from Sky Sports):
Vettel wrote: "Shame [about the] last five laps, I had nothing left in the tyres. And we had absolutely no straight-line speed whatsoever the whole race. Unbelievable. People pulling away...ridiculous."

Re: BBC I-Player and SKY Go

Thats what I thought. If only Sky would let me use 3 devices?! Son's X-Box and Android phone using the 2 slots. Although I wonder of Sky Go lets you go back and view previous contect from earlier that day? SkyGo doesn't do this but looking at the listings, there are full repeats of practice, qualif...

Re: Which is the prettiest F1 car on the 2012 grid?

Think it's Mclaren hands down.

Do you think the authorities will react to the criticism of the stepped noses and change the regs for future seasons or do you think they'll be around for a while?
