True - I forgot the 'one of' but it makes little difference in what was quoted.

Or, do you agree with Need4Naiim and think that 40% of your race wins coming in wet weather proves you are one of the fastest racers of ALL TIME?

Herb

Jenson has the highest % of race wins that featured rain of any driver that was won more than 3 races, 40%. Outside of his dominant Brawn, 67% of his race wins involved a wet race. Interesting statistic when only 6-8% of races feature rain. These stats further show Jenson is one of the fastest driv...

Less Kimi interviews! Seriously - they are dull.

Feel free to broadcast more of his radio though.

Herb

I work with stats and figures every day - and your "stats" are nonsense.

Winning China for any driver has no statistical significance whatsoever on their chances of winning the championship.

If it did, Lewis would just give up for the year if someone else qualified on pole.

Herb

You are right for the circumstances except for the races of 2015 . You will realize what i mean during Chinese GP race within a few days. Just wait and see. :nod: But if you are right and it's most races not except for the 2015 races and pull him up on what you were meant to be seeing. He will igno...

Herb

Winning the Chinese GP has no more relevance than any other GP to your chances of winning the title. From Hamilton's POV, he knows winning this weekend is a step in the right direction, but it won't be the end of the world if he doesn't. Do you think that if he doesn't win this weekend, he is going...

Herb

No I didn't miss that at all. Just because Lewis may win the Chinese Grand Prix from pole doesn't mean he'll win the title. From statistical viewpoint, which is 100% scientific, the repeat of that kind of a result shows something valuable for the end result of title battle. Not cause who will be th...

Herb

:thumbup: I agree again. Hamilton won the Chinese Grand Prix very convincingly and finished 1st comfortably after starting from pole, both in 2008 and 2014. I think we are heading a VERY IMPORTANT RACE WEEKEND for the outcome of this years championship. Or it could be a China 2004 or 2010 or 2012 a...

Herb

Oops, I somehow missed this, but as almost nobody scored in the last round at least I didn't miss much.

I'd better have a bit of a gamble to try catching up.

1. Ham
2. Vet
3. Rai

Herb

Those races were not won by Lewis from pole. That is the difference you missed. Correlation is not the same as Causation. IF Lewis wins this weekend it does not mean he will win the championship. And can you PLEASE stop using colours in your text, it makes your posts even harder to read, especially...

Didn't Vettel have to have non-alcoholic booze at one of his early GP victories? Maybe in a country where the minimum drinking age was a bit higher than the norm. I knew I had remembered this correctly - it was Turkey in 2011. https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/09052011/58/turkey-forbade-vettel-drink-c...

If the cars that are being lapped follow the same rules as cars that are being overtaken for position in the race, why can't they just get on with going as fast as they possibly can? If a faster car coming to lap them can't get past with DRS then they don't deserve to be given the privilege of a bl...

Herb

It astounds me that 12% of people so far think they won't score this season - yet nobody has commented to state that position.

Herb

Lewis Hamilton: I thought he would never been threatened consistently by Jenson. Then i thought he won't be threatened by Rosberg consistently. Finally, i had to change my rating about him. Nowadays, i can fully understand why Heikki is out of Formula 1. Hamilton v Rosberg/Button Wins 23 to 15 Pole...

Herb

Alonso in Spain. That was my initial thought too - it would be nice, I was at his last win there in 2013 the crowd around me went nuts :D. But, I think they'll pull a surprise - I picked Bahrain, they were running in the points at times last weekend - so now they just need to stay there for the who...

Herb

So - with the Macca seemingly making slow but steady progress, how long will it be before they can not only survive a full GP, but actually get into the points?

Will it be Jenson or Fred?

Seems "mayhem" isn't showing up on the list I'm copying here. Jenny's understeer, you are the admin I think, can you see if you can do anything?

Herb

Very funny.

But - last week, when when I innocently put Nicole instead of N i c o in a thread (thanks autocorrect!), I get a PM from the mods telling me off

Herb

Still top

1126 is a massive score well done!

Herb

Did you watch today's race? Nico could have been in 2nd after the first corner if he had a bit more bravery, and he looked distinctly average after his first pit stop, often only overtaking when the driver in front made a mistake. So because he backed out of a first corner move that could have ende...

Herb

If Hamilton had a decent set of Mediums left for that last stint, their estimate might have been accurate but they had to have known that he didn't so it really is a head-scratcher. They took a smack to the face in this race and it will be a wake-up call to the team. In spite of Red Bull's incessan...

Herb

Vettel, Raikkonen and Bottas.

Vettel for pouncing on his opportunity, the latter two for good recovery drives.

Bottas' pass on Massa was great.

Herb

I just got to watch it several laps ago. Just really catching up with what's going on? Have Merc just failed totally on the tactics? Looks like Vetel will win or am i missing something? Both - good race pace and strategy by Ferrari and not such good strategy by Merc. Deserved win for Seb! Hm, looki...

Herb

Hard tyres?

Thus race is done. Well done Ferrari. Superior strategy won then this.

Herb

Alonso simply is in other league...what a driver...he was in points,8th(he was catching the Redbull)when Button is 15th and losing time with Maldo(16th)...In his first race(with very little experience with the car) He have bad luck chosing teams but he is the best undoubtedly... Hadn't Button just ...

Herb

I always worry when I hear crackpot ideas from Bernie. I wonder if he is sneaking in a slightly less barmy idea that he can sell as the more palatable of the two ideas.

Herb

It's harsh, but he did agree to be a reserve driver. So I'd imagine he'd have been in trouble had he refused to turn in for Oz.

I don't know anything about Indy, but are Andretti a top team?

Herb

That was a but dodgy. If they'd have been in different teams Nico would be getting investigated now.

Herb

We are going at 10:15.

Herb

How bad is it now? Looks OK to me for full wets?

Always looks better than it is on TV though.

Herb

I love not being able to see the positions of the drivers. This new graphic is amazing! /sarcasm Watching a car on a hot lap with no timing just adds to the mystery and excitement. :lol: Ah, lightning affecting graphics. A deliberate attempt to force people into paying for the online times. I'm onl...

No. Stewards decided there was no further action necessary.

Isn't it much hotter this year than last year?

Thought I'd heard someone (Paul Hembery?) say that temperatures this week have been hotter than at any point last year. So I don't think it's worth comparing times as yet.

Hilarious. Millions of pounds spent on the cars and he uses a sanitary towel to keep the sweat off.

Very possibly i am alone at this, but i think Formula 1 needs tracks like Indianapolis or Texas Speedway. 2 ovals per season can be attractive due to different racing perspective. The Indy races from 2000-2007 offered something different with the oval section. I still remember on board view from Ja...
