According to AMuS the answer is yes, Ferrari are weakest. Can't get the link rn but iirc they said...

Mercedes
Renault (-25bhp)
Honda (-30bhp)
Ferrari (-50bhp)

Big yikes for Maranello.

I can't see this punishment surviving the appeals. There is enough grey area there I feel for RP to successfully appeal. And enough grey area to potentially have them removed from the WCC if the others make a strong enough case that running a listed part designed by another constructor makes RP at ...

Lotus49

Essentially we know they didn't design the RBD, a rival constructor did, so on what basis are RP eligible for prize money this year in the WCC if we're all agreed they are running a part they were supposed to do themselves or through a 3rd party but did not? You can reasonably argue not being able ...

So not salty at all, they were right, the RBD are illegal for RP to run this year because they didn't design them at all unlike they initially claimed. The FIA just can't stop them running them anyway without excessively draconian (Fire entire design team and provide fresh design) or potentially dan...

I read it's a 3 year deal which I'm a bit surprised about but with where Renault are,the additions of his Ferrari friends in Fry and De Beer to go along with Budkowski and with the Budget Cap coming in I guess it makes sense for lack of any top 3 interest to think slightly longer term. I hope Renaul...

When did Renault brag they had the biggest budget and most powerful engine? As for the engine, this thread is about Renault claiming 1,000 hp and their competitors responding by saying that their own power units aren't producing 1,000 hp. Renault also claim 960 to 970 hp in racing trim, which is si...

Red Bull matters because they are better than McLaren and Renault while using the engine whose relative merit you're arguing against in favor of Renault's engine. I don't think anyone in the world is arguing that Renault has a better chassis than McLaren. This is a thread about Renault making asser...

These were merely driving errors, nothing to do with the tyres, Alonso just had 1 podium more in the second half of the season to define he was better? Why can't not being comfortable with the tyres (and brakes) have an impact on any driving errors? Surely that's precisely what you'd expect to see ...

Lotus49

This doesn't relate to the fact that Alonso was stronger in the first half of the season than the second half of the season and after 2007 he seemingly had no more problems with the Bridgestone tyres. I would agree that Alonso lost the advantages he would have had if still on the Michelin tyres. He...

Lotus49

It's kind of funny how often drivers have problems with cars when they have a stronger teammate, just saying. For the record Hamilton was stronger against Alonso in the second half of the season. Alonso didn't have a problem with the car. It was the change from Michelin to Bridgestone. I recall Pet...

Love the alonso in for gasly vibe. It's always posters that think hamilton should take on the best drivers as a teammate. Well, now that people are touting verstap as king, i think he should take on alonso. Make it happen. Lewis agrees with you... https://www.planetf1.com/news/hamilton-suggests-alo...

Also Ocon and Max have a thing and don't get on. That could play into Mercs and Lewis's hands if Merc vs RB becomes a regular thing next year and Merc give Ocon a car he can annoy Max with, maybe even get into a few scrapes with. Bottas just doesn't seem to have that ego/killer instinct/douchebag ca...

Lotus49

Sure, it could help Russell but more of a risk to Merc. If he is a Gasly he could cost them the WCC. Much better for Mercedes to see him against a known quantity first so they can verify how good he actually is. The thing with Ocon is we have seen he is at least as good as Perez. which probably mea...

Lotus49

Well obviously two average drivers would struggle, it's not 2014-2016. But big teams don't tend to sign average drivers to lead the team so it would depend on who you're putting in there if Lewis isn't there I guess. All we do know is Lewis did it and he did so relatively comfortably and I think the...

Until I see any other team do something similar to what ferrari did to Massa at cota 2012 I will always regard them as the team orders champs. Yes every team uses orders but ferrari seems to invent new ways to apply them and rarely let you feel that their drivers are on equal footing. To me it is t...

Number of races might help the youngsters but as mentioned the BC won't. If it works as intended and we get a more competitive F1 then those records will stand for all time because it could be so unlikely that a team stays dominant long enough for one driver in the future to benefit to the extent n...
