Re: If every driver had the same car how would the grid line
I need to know the weather conditions and track name to actually do my calculations to get a grid line up. Without that mentioned data, lists won't be more than a hallucination and/or collected reputation values. What i see from above lists is a podium capable car every racing season is essential to...

Re: The Official NICO ROSBERG thread
.....What Lewis did wasn't illegal (unless it's Vettel squeezing Alonso on turn 3 at Monza) but definitely dirty. Had he not squeezed Rosberg off the track (several times) Rosberg would have had a higher chance of passing going into turn 4 as that's a better place to pass. Now that Nico knows that ...

Re: Let's compare Red Bull "dominance" with Mercedes

Re: Let's compare Red Bull "dominance" with Mercedes
Car dominance/performances are not always consistent within each season: eg the Red Bull-Renaults improving in late 2012. Other oddball happenings regarding car performances have been new models being introduced late in a season: eg Clark's Lotus-BRM H16 in 1966, which enabled him to win a race for...

Re: The day when Senna decided to be a fitness master
Informative thread. A blast from the past.
On the fitness thing for racing, it is crucial which region of body muscles have to be improved first, which is second ...etc. Muscle layers have to be build up accordingly.
I learned this with a bit odd way.
