Anyone else notice the hypocrisy from Sky sports on this subject. Before the race they did a segment poking fun at redbull and multi-21 team orders from last year. They were all up in arms because Seb didnt listen to team orders. Then during the race when Massa gets the order and ignores it Brundle...

Something tells me they are gonna have problems selling all the seats this year. Combination of the new rule changes (sound) and fairly ridiculous prices compared to other racing events.

They will be roughly the same power levels, the difference is not noticeable like it is with a NA car. Its all based off air density. The turbo creates the same air pressure in the cylinders at sea level or 10,000 feet. The bigger difference is in the effect on Aero. Less air density = less downforc...

I am sure someone will correct me, but I thought Brundle was saying the light was red as in he was not released by the team yet and left the pit early. Either way, accidents happen, its not a conspiracy. Why not start one for Vettel too then ... you can start with only getting 5 laps in before the c...

"Double points Ridiculous looking cars Quiet engines" I have to agree with you in 2 out of 3. First of all the cars are far from looking ridiculous. The Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes cars get me very excited. Ferrari is a bit off though. But double points is by far the worst, most artificially enh...

Vettel for wdc Ferrari Red bull McLaren Lotus Mercedes Force India Williams Sauber I think Mercedes will have a troubles start and struggle to catch up This is actually pretty much right on with what I was thinking as well I do think this will be the year that the "new" teams get their first points...

I think this is probably the best case scenario for Kamui. He really wasn't even on the radar for any of the top or middle teams, he would be gone completely from the sport with just us fans talking about him for the next few years until everyone forgets about him. Now at least he has a chance of re...

twice the wins, 14 points ahead even with more dnf's say otherwise

Most of the comparisons have to be between Vettel and Webber. Size and weight are issues with the larger driver having a disadvantage. I don't have a link to this but I seem to recall that Webber was quite a bit heavier than Vettel and his height also caused issues with the balance of the car? Ther...

I voted 4+ slower but that is for race pace.

In qualy I think they will likely be about a second off. The fuel restrictions are going to kill the race pace though, along with less power and worse aeordynamics.

Bakerking31

change the massive rule book to be more like .. the car must fit within a box this size, use this much fuel or less in the race and needs to perform like X in crash safety tests. You get x numbers of tires X size for a race. obviously it would need to be a bit more complicated than that for some saf...

Alonso as a driver has never failed, it's Ferrari.

For the reputation & recognition that Alonso has among his fans worldwide, he atleast deserves 1 more title.

Good thread. :D Races ahead when both finished: DC-Mika 20:19 (!) SEb-Mark 58:17 Compared as percentages: Win scores: DC won 50% of Mika's total, Mark 24% of Seb's total. Ahead in races when both finished: DC 5% more than Mika, Webber 29% of races against Seb. These stats show Win percentages and N...

The best drivers ever are the ones racing now. Its inevitable. Technology has advanced so much that todays drivers have an advantage over drivers of the past. For example, Fangio could never spend hours on a simulator to get his driving perfect, Clark never could calculate that if he took this corne...

The question for me is if the other driver could hook up with the characteristics of the Red Bull to deliver maximum performance as well as Seb has. Seb's success is down to having full confidence in what the car can do. The story goes that Newey told them how to drive it. To have full faith in the...

Vettel vs Alonso - 2 wins to Vettel, 1 to Alonso and 1 too close to call. I dont think any drivers could take Vettel these last 2 years, 2010 he made quite a bit of mistakes but was very quick was he wasnt crashing. I think Alonso has a good chance of beating seb that year, 2011 is the one I listed ...

where exactly did this have anything to do with Kimi? Yes both have back problems, but they are very different problems, one is from a sudden impact and will heal on its own with some rest, the other requires surgery to fix. No where in the quote above did it mention or imply anything about Kimi, it...

Vettel

With Hamilton's fragil emotional state he would not be the wisest choice for something that had huge consiquences if a mistake was made.
Alonso is not as fast a qualifier as vettel

Bakerking31

I would say they were the fastest over 1 lap but race pace is another story

I'm not saying he is ahead in the points I'm saying he is faster this season and the average points per completed race is on my side ...

So what car do you think was the best for the first half of the season?

Bakerking31

2012 best car for the first half and couldnt hold on Well, I've never seen someone who believed the F2012 was the best car in the first half of the season. I don't think it was the best car at any point last season. Maybe a string of 3 races between Valencia and Germany, but even then the RB was st...

I am yet to see a WDC were the team weren't a major part of their victory? Undoubtedly Vettel has had the opportunities, but only an idiot would dismiss his achievements as he has maximised that opportunity. I'm not an idiot and you need to learn how to read properly. I'm not, I repeat not saying V...

That's true but many also worked around them, it's still something in his control. And btw vettel also had a mechanical failure that let nico take the lead Wow.

Hang on, if Vettel was done for not bringing the car back to parc ferme, why hasn't every driver who parked on the in-lap been done for the same? Plus the reason donuts ARE banned is that head-on collisions, as proved by Schumacher and Liuzzi, are more dangerous then rear-ending someone. Plus there...

Naturally aspirated engines will have a tougher time in the slipstream than a forced induction one as an electronically controlled turbo can simply increase the boost to compensate, plus cool it in the inter cooler.

Lewis will, just because there arent enough races left and Nico had 2 more retirements than Lewis and a drive through.

Too many problems with it for F1. F1 has limited engines so every team would try to maximize their engine use at the end of the season to the determent of the beginning. I could easily see cars that have a good lead going into the final few races of the "regular season" just not show up since the ra...
