Re: Hamilton: Red Bull have a clear No.1 & 2, always have

I'm a Schumi fan - so I don't bear a grudge over him having No. 1 status at Mclaren :lol: ! I just don't like him saying that he is above that sort of thing, forgetting that he has done the same himself. My apologies if i have misunderstood you in that, it sounded like that a bit to me :). It still...

Re: Hamilton: Red Bull have a clear No.1 & 2, always have

You make a good point re. a possible reason for Lewis asking (after team orders had been issued) about letting Nico pass. But this episode is not why I think Lewis is hypocritical in saying he does not want/like team orders/No 1 status etc. My main reason for thinking this is because of the Lewis/K...

Re: Hamilton: Red Bull have a clear No.1 & 2, always have

Aspar - I think you're saying that Lewis raced initially to prove that Nico could not pass him, but after the team order was issued (telling Nico to hold position), he asked Brawn if he should let Nico by? This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm also not sure if you're saying that Lewis could h...

Re: Hamilton: Red Bull have a clear No.1 & 2, always have

..... 2) If Lewis asked Brawn to let Nico pass him (as he is reported as saying) , why did he fight Nico when he tried to overtake? Surely it was this that necessitated the team order? It just seems a little odd to say you asked for your team mate to be allowed to pass you after the team order was ...

Re: Lewis is Mercedes team leader

Drivers thinking about fuel? Thinking about tires? DRS, KERS? And where does it lead to? Driving slower and slower, gentler and gentler, less and less riskier, because of the fact that it's more important to not go fast to the limit and preserve than to go fast. Soon we might as well put mathematici...

Re: F1 is a farce! Let them race.

Yes, F1 is a farce, let them race, so to do that, we cut on the tires, we cut on the engines, we cut on everything and now it's not who is faster but who can drive slower to preserve resources. We saw what happens with those who want to fight - Hamilton attacking Vetel and using a lot of resources. ...

Re: Team Mate Wars - After Two Races

There are some definitely not objective conclusions imho. Vetel > Weber - this one is clear. Vetel is much less error prone, and can drive constantly at probably the best the car can provide. Masa = Alonso? - How is that even close to truth? Alonso has shown he is faster overall during all their tim...

Re: Lewis is Mercedes team leader

As far as i remember, when Niko said he can be much faster and wants to go ahead, he was told that Lewis can be much faster too, but they are controlling his tempo, so Niko should just play for the team and hold his pace too. Nothing extraordinary. Besides, he was given the chance to get ahead of Le...

Re: Mercedes and Red Bull want to revert back to 2012 Tyres

I am not sure Lotus got it right, more like they got it lucky right for Oz, but they had been struggling on Sepang and is obvious by their results. Probably they have decreased the downforce in a try to preserve tires but it doesn't seem to work on that track. Kimi was sliding like in WRC all the ti...

Re: Pirelli rule the game (again)?

The way F1 was during the "procession" days is surely disgusting and i don't wanna see this again. Almost made me stop watching it except the occasional times. These days i still like watching it, but i do dislike how things are turning out. I want drivers to push the car to the limit, to be aggress...
