Has everyone forgot about the packaging headache that RedBull have given Renault. Some even bring up the fact that RedBull have had people in Renault helping develop the software (as if that's a bad thing). All of Renault's customers have people giving feedback and direction to Renault so why wouldn...

I would have LH for a dominant win but the fact Rosberg can dissect his lap overlay will make it close. I don't think teams have closed the gap to the mercs that much and I don't think they will this year. The split turbo is a huge advantage to aero, weight dist and power delivery and simply can't ...

[/quote] If anything he seems to have become less mature than his rookie season. I have to say up until Monaco this year he looked back in that same pretty much flawless 2007 form. But he let that weakness creep in yet again, we shall see if it was a one off blip or the start of something similar to...

I don't get why people always use 2011 as proof of Hamilton's inability. He won three races that year, so that's not as horrendous as people make out. and to suggest he's not improved as a racer since 2007 seems very odd. I'd choose Hamilton to come out on top for two reasons. 1) He's more experienc...

No action regarding Rosberg. I hope the Lewis fans stop with the conspiracy Well now it has become clear that reversing back onto the track, under double-waved yellows, is acceptable, we can all move on :) I can see i was hoping for the impossible So all Lewis fans should keep quiet and be happy?

I'm as pro Hamilton as they get, so I'd welcome a penalty for Rosberg as, like many have said, there was no need to put it in reverse because he couldn't possibly start another lap. Making him start 6th or 11th would be equally harsh though Nico's gonna have his mirrors full of a very angry Hamilto...

It seems to me that lots of posters on here have no personal experience of competitive sport. I think Hamilton does play mind games, but only on himself. If you are in a head to head fight with someone, is it best to think of them as amazing, and easily capable of beating you, or is it best to thin...

I don't understand why people are moaning about this, nor about the accusations of inconsistency. The whole point of having cameras is that it makes it better for us, the viewers, to get a decent view. The recessed cameras gave poorer quality pictures and didn't allow for panning, so therefore they...

Even last years race was quite fun. Perez going loco, Kimi going on a late surge. Like others have said,I also expect Merc to dominate. This was always the track that seemed to negate RB's downforce, so I'm not sure why RB have been talking up their chances. It'll be very close between Nico and Lewi...

Perhaps you have not heard of the Ferrari 458 Italia? The 512? Indeed I have - the 458 is regarded as the best in its class - so why have they struggled so much against a so called soft drinks company when it comes to building an F1 car - considering all their money and heritage? Its an obvious que...

Sad thing for Alonso is even if they get Newey by the time he produces a winning Ferrari it will likely be some younger driver in it, possibly even Vettel. I'd hazard a guess that if (and it is a big if) Newey does join Ferrari, Vettel will be there too. In that scenario Newey would be be given fre...

I think Nico could learn a lot from Seb. His style is more methodical in his overtaking when compared to Nando and Lewis, as he probably prefers (or is used to) leading from the start. Seb & Rocky clearly planned those t10 overtakes, whilst everyone else tried at t1. Nico's side of the garage are go...

Jenson did have some stand out drivers, his a wet/dry genius, probably the best driver ever in this respect. So in 2010, Jenson did not beat Lewis once when it was dry, except for Japan when Lewis had an issue.. I'd like to know what the results were between them when they both finished in the wet,...

Here we go down that old road of "Hamilton beat Button, Button beat Hamilton". In 2010 Hamilton had 3 wins and 240 points. Button had 2 wins, 214 points. In 2011 Hamilton had 3 wins and 227 points. Button had 2 wins , 270 points. In 2012 Hamilton had 4 wins and 190 points. Button had 3 wins, 188 po...

Yes i understand undercut, do you understand 1/2 second per lap advantage that Nico had for a number of laps, did you hear Lewis state that Nico was faster than he was today. Did you hear Nico ask to stay on the softer compound just before the 1st stop after he was told they wer changing him to the...

He closed it and they said tyres are over-heating, he had the gap down to 1 second with 8 laps to go. Given what happened in Bahrain they went with a bit more caution. The important factor also is that it is 10 tens harder to pass in Spain. Why being cautions when Nico had enough advantage to pit t...

Renault and Ferrari (And the teams they supply) might need to copy and paste the Mercedes PU, whereas the Mercedes powered teams only need to make changes to the chassis to better incorporate the Merc PU. McLaren are the wild card though. Can't help but think they've missed the boat on these regs al...

Rek

Not much to say. The team told him to hold back, presumably to avoid over-heating and not take too much life out of the tyres. Nico seemed to close the gap to about 0.6 secs quite easily, and then the turbulent air did the rest.

The "quickly zoom past" thing was easier said than done.

Eh? Seb surely wins that one? Vettel had BMW and Toro Rosso, so nope. Had he started in cheated car with set-up copied from Alonso, you can bet he would have been debiut WDC or at least smashed all 'youngest ever' records. At least you're not bitter about it. :lol: You can't even prove he's better ...

This is a good thread. Your job sounds much more exciting than mine. Not quite sure what the question is though: How important is an f1 drivers pickle? Which drivers are good at developing?

Good investments: Ricciardo +10 - not many would've expected him to be able to compete with SV Hamilton +5 - Although I thought he did well last year to turn up at a new team and best his teammate, I think Nico made some new fans last year and had his stock increased, whilst a couple of average rac...

No way was Alonso's 2013 average, that is ridiculous. So basically you are basing a season on 2 mistakes in the early races. What about the other 17? Another comfortable runners up spot in the 2nd/3rd best car. I think the gloss has long gone from Kimi, Grosjean is an average driver in my eyes. Alo...

It's all subjective to say the least. Unless every driver spends time in the same team, then it's very hard to compare. Alonso V Hamilton 2007 is about as even as you can get because a double world champion up against a rookie who, one way or another, had thousands of test miles under his belt, is a...

Many people seem to regard Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton and Raikkonen as the top four drivers. I'd go one further and say that the most recurring order would be Seb and Fred (top 2), followed by Kimi and Lewis in either order. Looking back at the 20 Fernando 2012 possibly best ever season. 2013 distinc...
