It seems some people have been blinded by Kvyat last race and this one. In Hungary he was over 20 seconds behind Ricciardo before Ricciardo was taken out by the Mercs and at Spa he was over 12 seconds behind before engine failure cost Ricciardo. I see nothing special. You shouldn't penalize Kvyat b...

I thought Ricciardo did an excellent job considering the compromise of the Renault engine.

Rosberg wasn't steering away from Ricciardo when he ran into Ric. You must leave a car width to the edge of the track. End of story. Sorry but that excuse is heavily flawed. You must leave a car's width of space only AFTER you make your SINGLE allowed move to defend. In this case Rosberg not only y...

When safety car hit Kvyat was 40 seconds behind with an extra stop.

Juzzy82

Ok fair enough. Just trying to point out that Ricciardo made it work better.

To put it simply, I don't think F1 MERCENARY has any idea about racing, but I'm sure will convince himself of something. :thumbup: 1+++ :thumbup: 2+++ Poor form from all three of you. Just because you don't agree with another poster's POV doesn't give you licence to insult them. :thumbdown: You are...

It's pretty rare for team mates to do the exact same length stints on tyres. It's pretty common for team mates to have them come in on consecutive laps though. This is not just "not exactly the same length", this is effectively switching strategy. Maybe they started out on the same strategy but tha...

Yeah Ricciardo was the better driver but Kvyat gets the points because he finished in front, yet Rosberg is looked as the better driver and gets the points even though he finished behind, strange? :? No, if you actually read it the logic is consistent. The slower driver who made less errors gets th...

Not sure how you can say that Kvyat won the race over Ricciardo when even Kvyat's engineer told him he was crap on the day. I know Kvyat finished ahead of Ricciardo but, equalised for pit stops, Ricciardo was around 20 seconds in front of Kvyat before the safety car came and then both the Mercedes ...

Whoever posted that pick with the 12 car lengths is having a laugh, lol. I've done a bit of racing and the general rule of thumb is that if another car is up to your B pillar at turn in then it is their corner. If they are coming in too fast from too far behind then even most amatuers should be able...

Lewis is really smashing Rosberg on Saturdays this year. I never thought it would be this one sided. The most exciting battle will be Ricciardo against Vettel. Those two are so close in pace. If Rosberg continues to struggle with balance tomorrow, then he might be up for the taking also. The Willia...

Ricciardo the star of qualifying. He monstered Kvyat and almost snatched 3rd.

Goes to show what the car can do when the engine isn't so prevalent.

Juzzy82

If Ferrari are considering Bottas, perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad move to go to Williams for a year, beat Bottas (or not) and prove who is more worthy of the red car?

Juzzy82

After watching these cars in person only meters away I honestly believe that Mercedes has some sort of trickery going on when exiting slow corners - they get the power on better than any other engine. I wonder whether the ECU that is used by all teams only governs traction control from an ICE persp...

I've said it for years. There is no need for crappy tires when you already have DRS. I'd love to see the sport back on the edge again instead of drivers driving to delta times and nursing the tires. This ^^^. Or to keep everyone happy: no refuelling, 2 compulsory pit stops and 2 different tyres tha...

Juzzy82

I think the power of the Ferrari engine is approaching that of Mercedes, but the layout of the Mercs engine allow the packaging and therefore handling of the car to be much better.

There is also something going on with how the Merc puts it's power down coming out of slow corners.

If Vettel and Kimi are a match this year all it means is that Vettel and Kimi are a match this year. But it doesn't mean that Kimi would have had the same dominance in the Red Bulls Vettel enjoyed, or even that Vettel would have performed similarly to Kimi in the McLarens of his time. There are so ...

Front wing damage also would have effected brake cooling. Radio transmission alludes to this when they told Ricciardo his brakes were getting too hot and to let Kvyat by. Let us not forget that 2014 also started off with Ricciardo starting in front of his team mate in Melbourne, only for the team ma...

Having listened to Webber commentate over the race weekend, I can say he was superb - a better commentator than a driver! IMO he is the best F1 commentator out of everyone, it's a shame he doesn't do it all the time.

Juzzy82

We were. You have now been instructed multiple times to drop this. "instructed", lol what are you a drill sergeant! F1 drivers racing each others times on top gear is more related to F1 than all the threads on NASCAR, motoGP, Formula E, Indy car etc. I don't see why something as arbitrary as being ...

Guys, remember Top Gear isn't considered an F1 topic, nor is it considered appropriate for the motorsport section of the forum. So a bunch of Formula 1 drivers pitted against each other in equal machinery is not considered F1 related? Right... We are not discussing Top Gear, we are discussing a com...

I've been in most of the grand stands at Albert Park. Best one is Prost if you can get a seat that allows you to see down thesstraight.

Hamilton made more mistakes than a pregnant teen. Alonso or Ricciardo for No.1 for me.

Juzzy82

Hamilton is quick but inconsistent, Rosberg is almost as quick but normally more consistent.

If Hamilton would stop locking up every 5 minutes he would be considered as one of the elite drivers, but not at the moment... unless you are speaking to someone from the UK.

Juzzy82

I laughed when everyone was going ga-ga over K-Mag after Melbourne. The same with Kvyat, although he has performed quite well.

Juzzy82

Ricciardo dancing that car through the corners was awesome to watch.

Great to see Massa and Williams recover as well. The rest was business as usual.

Juzzy82

Vergne was smashed in qualifying v Ricciardo and got all his points in the wet against Ricciardo. If you look at dry race weekends Ricciardo smashed Vergne 22 v 8 when they were at STR.

The guy is so fast compared to Vettel that comparing these 2 lately is just absurd. Vettel is the slowest number 2 team mate on the grid this year and if he keeps up such a slow pace needs to be replaced. Especially after 3 chassis changes and still no answers from Vettel he is just getting slower ...

Ricciardo's top speed was a double slip stream from Button and Perez.

Juzzy82

I just hope someone makes a Youtube video of all Ricciardo's passes this year. He has been the over-taker of the year by a long way: Fast, clean, aggressive and decisive. I struggle to remember anyone who consistently has pulled off these majestic passes throughout a season without a single mistake ...

Juzzy82

So, if theres one thing I've learn't from Ricciardo.. Its dont count him out.. He just seems to always end up at the front. Does anyone think he has a podium chance at Monza this week ? Nope Vettel too good at Monza... remember 2008. And the other podium places are for the Merc boys :lol: The low d...
