McLaren on a 1:26:2 on mediums.

stevey

Anyone got any feelings on how manor are going?

stevey

yeah heaven forbid we get to see the sport we love at a testing stage.

stevey

if their interested in the longevity of parts they'll of kept it as the same engine so they can work out how long each part takes to wear down or break.

stevey

manor on 1:25:9 is a good time for them. I expect them to jump up a little this year maybe even mix it with FI and Mclaren

stevey

I did like the one on the bbc something along the lines of

"Has anyone told Red bull they shouldn't bring a watch to an engine fight"

stevey

too dark for me, I still love their nose design on the 2015 car though.

stevey

All they need to do is come up with a design for the rear of the car that allows a car behind to follow it through corners without being compromised by dirty air. An engine focused f1 is the right way to go as the benefits from technology discovered can be applied in some way to everyday cars while ...

stevey

Isn't it called discalculia if it's numbers.

stevey

I think they've just made their engine closer to Mercedes 2015 spec, the problem will be have Mercedes moved ahead again?

stevey

Lewis Hamilton will be 2016wdc with his nearest competitor being Sebastian in the most exciting season for a while.

stevey

Basically Pirelli have said looking at the little data they have now the new tyres would need to run at a much higher PSi 27 I believe which if ran on an f1 car would probably slow them down more than in comparrison to the supposed changes to speed the cars up. The issue is Pirelli isn't allowed to ...

wasn't there a guy that used to do teammate wars who linked us to his website.

stevey

last race of the season, I think if he wins or loses it will make no difference to him mentally. Next years car and tyres will be different to this years car so its a full reset almost. I think winning the championship early tarnishes the last races as there isn't as much excitement. Roll on 2016 te...

stevey

I think the OP means not just strategy in the race, but the better internal team, better parts for the car, similar as when Sebastian got the wing from Webber. That whole not bad for a number 2, Webber always felt Sebastian had better treatment than he did.

stevey

I think for the final race as nothing is at stake anymore they allow them to pick their own strategies. There is nothing to lose for merc, Nico is safe in 2nd both championships wrapped up. I wanna see these guys genuinely go for it without merc guaranteeing they follow each other around. Did anyone...

stevey

The only meaning we could take from this is that Nico can win when there is nothing at stake.

unfortunately when the season comes back around his history suggests that when there is meaning in consecutive wins he comes a cropper and flounders.

stevey

of course they should be able to shortcut the track, but it should not be counted as a full lap so either an additional time penalty worth the estimated regular lap time of what they missed or a static penalty.

stevey

If you cut a large enough section of the track isn't the lap not counted?? but it would have to be half a tracks worth to warrant an automatic lapped car situation.

Isn't this the james hunt scenario?

stevey

Well its settled now. Red Bull will be running a Renault Engine but with their own customisations, not sure which bits their customising though as the article said both the engine block and Ice package are being supplied by Renault.

stevey

From what I understand red bull still have a contract with Renault for next year and do not need Honda. They would obviously prefer a different engine supplier but if none are available then they need to stick with Renault for another year. Everyone keeps saying merc, Ferrari or Honda need to step i...

stevey

Rossi should have had a bit more of a punishment than he did for his actions, people who defend him are too much caught up in Rossi's butt.

The only reason he got off so lightly was because it is Rossi.

stevey

I hope the FIA put their foot down on this based on the agreement Honda should supply two manufactures in the second year. Maclaren are quick to say they have a perfect chasis and their poor pace is all down to Honda, yet they are not comfortable for RBR to have the same engine, which will also hel...

stevey

and there's another comment from Red Bull insulting all those around them. Wow I really couldn't be in a partnership with a team like that, or look to help them if I was a competitior.

stevey

We only ever see the tip of the iceberg that is Merc and take great liberties from what we see when explaining a point of view. What Lewis says is interesting to me because I feel there is more to it and with this being after the race you can bet he's looked at his previous set of tyres and they've ...

stevey

what a load of bologne! you cant blame mother nature for Nico being unable to control the car when its windy. No one else had the same problem to that extent. I think this is Merc just trying to alleviate some of his mental pressure for messing up a lot when Lewis is behind. Same thing where a boxe...

na he just saw that Nico would get Pole if Q3 was cancelled and it would irk Hamilton.

stevey

Rosberg had better pace in the wet than RBR, it was just Lewis couldn't warm the tyres.

stevey

I went 50 - 50 as that's an option but in reality its more like 70 - 30 with Bottas being the 30.

stevey

Its never a case of it being one drivers responsibility to keep the other guy on the track, look at yesterdays start. Up to the first Corner Lewis is slightly ahead of nico but on the outside, he realises it wont stick so drops behind. If you don't chose to drop behind you go off track and the illus...

Michael Schumacher - Had some great seasons but all are comparable with todays drivers, had a dedicated number 2 in his pocket, had tyres designed for his car, deliberately crashed into a competitor to win a WDC, nuff said. James Hunt - Won his sole wdc because his main competitor was in a horrific ...

stevey

Lewis will miss one race, then turn up with remapped pedals and his legs in plaster and still be fast enough to get the points he needs to win the WDC #beastmode

stevey

Maybe if we lose some of the smaller teams that cant afford to race we will be left with 3 - 4 car teams and an opening of development regs so the big boys can really push.

stevey

while it might be fairer to the lower teams, the real attractions to the sport of Ferrari, Merc, Renault, McLaren will lose out. The revenues generated are different for a west brom vs Southampton match against a Chelsea vs Man United match and the money should be distributed to reflect that weighti...

stevey

they probably meant kilometres an Hour

stevey

Red Bull gave them 0 credit when winning, they weren't even in the name of the car/team unlike McLaren who plastered the Merc link everywhere. I think even Lotus where called Lotus Renault at some point and there was Sauber Ferrari. Even with the infiniti name thing as an outsider a person would hav...

Hamilton Vs Alonso part 2
Vettel Vs Riccardo part 2
Jenson Vs Grosjean
Raikonen Vs Massa part 2
Rosberg Vs Verstappen

would all be great matchups
