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

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...
