Re: Andretti Cadillac

I did not read it as a rant and I don't think it is. There is in my view very little to disagree in Jezza's post. Celebrities so easily align themselves with some good causes as long as it doesn't cost them anything . This is not a particular slight on Hamilton, but what he does is also hardly some...

Re: Andretti Cadillac

Does Zhou not count? What about Tsunoda? As for Merc running a black driver, i'd probably send the Kudos to Ron Dennis before sending any to Wolff, Brawn or Lauda. It was Ron who sponsored Hamilton's junior career right through to F1, not Merc. Merc just jumped on the finished product, and I'll bet...

I think there's every reason to belittle it. Do you not think it's a tad hypocritical that he believes new teams should conform to diversity hire quotas while apparently current teams, including his own, are exempt, especially when his boss just has appointed a straight, white male as his deputy ? ...

Re: Ferrari vs Red Bull

If you are evaluating the outright speed of the car, then surely it is best to take the fastest time? No, I don't think so. In the perfect world from a statistically point of view every car should be tested by all 20 drivers, and then the average time would be the true answer to how fast this car i...

Re: Ferrari vs Red Bull

Out of interest, are you using both drivers' times to create your average, or just the fastest in each qually? I'm using both drivers times. For most teams it doesn't make a big difference, but for some teams it does. An example of this is Aston Martin, where there is a big difference between the t...

Re: Ferrari vs Red Bull

In the current WCC Red Bull is the run-away leader with 583 points, while Ferrari is only third with 228 points. So Adrian Newey has once again created something magic. Something way better than everybody else. Including Ferrari. Or has he? If we look at the qualifying times this year there isn't r...

Re: Will Red Bull still be dominant in 2024?

The punishment started in late 2022, and is still on going. The effect of the penalty is that their car isn't as fast as it could be this year, and next year's car may or may not be impacted as well depending on how much they let the penalty impact their 2023 development vs. 2024 development.
