I do not understand. Half way through the season Alonso was getting so much praise it was unbelievable but even on the forum his health did not go unnoticed. I cannot believe that people are saying that while Massa got better through the season Alonso got worse. Alonso drove the same way from beginn...

I wanna play what if with the forum real quick on two questions which have been bugging me.
What if Ferrari had dropped Massa...
Would a back marker pick him up and which one and who would replace him.
Personal opinion... He goes to caterham instead of pic and they pick kumui

emb1496

I think you have to remember that in the last few races alone he had more opportunities to pass the cars. Ex. I know that the top 5 statistic looks bulletproof BUT in Austin Vettel started from the back and in Brasil Vettel went to the back also. You have to keep in mind that should you put another ...

emb1496

Yep that was pretty stupid but it was the official explanation at the time.

emb1496

Just found out no further action the yellow was not a flag but a reflection of the pirelli signs

emb1496

Yes it was seen... It may be a post race penalty... Oh the conspiracy theories to come...

emb1496

They are trying to find the footage but Charlie whiting was made aware by ferrari

emb1496

I think the next new WDC is a very long time away and ultimately it will be a driver that has not even made it to F1 yet. I guess Perez is a strongest possibility but that could easily be hot air. Vettels replacement at Red Bull if he goes to Ferrari. Even if it's Webber who leaves I think the repl...

emb1496

Pretty sure that one of red Bull drivers will be gone soon then it's just up to their replacement

emb1496

Why has nobody mentioned a Williams/Force India driver... My money is on them.

A year more to prove themselves then one of the goes to a top team and another year to win. I dont see Perez, Massa, or Webber winning next year so I think that WHY NOT?

emb1496

I hope they publish the actual wear on it within the day and update the people on the situation. I think this bending the rules thing needs to stop. Absolutely ridiculous what one driver can do and another can't. Until they come up with a better punishment system idk how this sport will keep all of ...

It was clear that in the last 5-10 laps Vettel's plank was rubbing the ground you could clearly see the sparks flying. I believe that according to the rules only 1 mm is allowed to rub off due to the ground through the whole race. Will he be DSQ for this? Note: for those who remember a similar event...

emb1496

I don't like this poll because although I enjoy overtaking I love those crazy old battles so I have mixed feelings about it aka yet to decide

emb1496

I don't think that matters when it comes to the merger because no matter what i think they will relocate or end up at the Caterham location

emb1496

The team did nothing to Kova. It was his own poor performances which led to him being the clear second driver. He never stood a chance against Hamilton's raw ability because his personal ability was not a match to Hamilton's, thus he could not challenge him on the race track on race day and that's ...

emb1496

It's not going to happen in the next 2 but when do you think it will be decided?

emb1496

Why is it that when they get results, its because alonso develops the car and he outdrives the car and when the car is not going well, it means the ferrari have not developed the car. Sure it did not look the fastest in japan, but it was not far from it either. Massa's pace was pretty good and diff...

A lot of people thought Jackie Stewart's crusade for safety was a lost cause also... Or does this argument not count?

emb1496

Pretty good lol

emb1496

I think it displays many peoples ignorance

emb1496

call you out that your point makes no sense, you get all fluffed up and start waving your tail feathers at me trying to wave me off with all this bluster about stuff we are not discussing. We are discussing the team game, hence why the title of the thread was 'Ferrari can play the team game but not...

emb1496

Although Kumui did great Seb and Massa both drive perfect races so I voted for them

emb1496

Hey man I'm from Jersey good to see more support from the states on the forum. Can't tell you anything about Monaco other than what I've heard and I've heard spare no expense. I had a buddy that went got himself a balcony at casino square and a paddock pass. This guy has watched F1 around the world ...

emb1496

It has to be Massa now I wanted Perez to play second fiddle until Alonso got older and when Alonso would have left Perez could take over. I just don't see Schumacher or raikkonen in support rules so I couldn't vote for them and although Other youngsters have shown pace none impressed me like Perez.

emb1496

I also always wondered about this... I kind of always thought it was because Williams could not afford to make cars... Ferrari just did it to help pay for the racing team... Idk about McLaren though... I always assumed that because Frank Williams is the main sponsor... Maybe that is why Williams has...

emb1496

Driver: Alonso
Constructor: 1) lotus Renault 2) actual competition
Because lotus seems the most consistent between raikkonen and grosjean taking podiums pretty much every race i think its a race for second place

emb1496

I have seen threads similar to this about the best corners in F1 but its not the best ones that capture your eye that matter but how the car handles the rest of them

emb1496

I find it strange to answer. I am a team fan of Ferrari. When Schumi was there I was a fan of him. When he handed over the reigns to Raikkonen I became his fan. When Alonso came in I was still rooting for Massa but Alonso's progress has shifted my vote to him. If maybe a new thread was made about te...

emb1496

thats awesome

emb1496

Should they allow the teams to just make the fastest car they can without having to conform to regulations. Of course keep the safety aspect of the rules YES!!!! I have been saying forever that keep the safety necessities and bans on electronics that way its all engineer + driver + car combination....

emb1496

The problem I have with that is that its created less racing because they have poor tires. If we had 2+ providers they would be developing the tires to try to outdo each other and therefore the tires would progressively get better, Pirelli wants to stay worse. When Bridgestone was the only provider ...

emb1496

Definitely Bruno. I think he is developing constantly because of the time when his family did not let him race. Then, he outpaced Maldonado quite often, the only reason people talk of Maldonado is because he won a race... Granted props to him... But what has he done since then? Where was he before? ...

emb1496

I have for a very long time believed that Senna is in F1 because of his name but all things considered I think he is better than Maldonado. I am talking about all around performance. I don't see him like Button or Webber but rather expect him to have a career like LH from 2007-2010. I think he will ...

However expect it to be banned before next season as anything innovative is banned remember?

I dont know how the extra weight will help in the race if the car isnt close enough to use it.

emb1496

I think that if the FIA quit limiting how the cars can be and just keep safety and no electronic wars then the sport will benefit from more room to work with and better overtaking so they wont need KERS and DRS. I understand strengthening the cars, I understand leaving it up to the driver and not hi...

No. Qualifying setup must be used as the race setup.

I think JacksparrowNinja was saying be3fore the end of qualifying between session 1, 2, & 3.

I think your allowed to touch the car but I think that a 5 minute break between sessions is not enough time to change it from dry to wet weather running as im sure there is a lot which goes into that.

"At it again"...? Surely they're innovating? Pushing to the very limit of the rules... That's how things like double diffusers, F-Ducts, flexi wings etc came about. If the FIA rule that it's not strictly against the rules but then decide to make it against the rules, Red Bull have done nothing wron...

emb1496

An unusual qualifying to say the least. There were enough surprises to make me question something the commentators did not bring up. Is set-up a factor here. When Grosjean is 1 second faster than Kimi, and Hamilton is miles faster than everyone else. Oh yeah, and Vettel so much faster than Webber it...

It cant be Alonso... we all saw how that worked out...
