They have such a great engine and chassis combo but when not out in front and sat in dirty air where the aero is less functional they can still keep the pace and pressure the car infront.

stevey

I think Mercs design philosophy is based on the car running at the front and when it doesn't the engine can compensate and drag them up. RBR used to be like that, the first 2 laps of any race they would pull so much time on the rest of the field and then the pace would even out without them turning ...

One area I feel particularly strong about for Ferrari is their inability to act on instinct in a race and make fast calls that would potentially benefit the team. I feel like lots of people who have watched the sport for many years can make better strategic calls than the team with all the data. Las...

Well done that team.

I do love when F1, not just ham and merc, gets involved in stuff like this around the world. Then you really get the feeling of it having a positive global influence.

stevey

probably doesn't know who she is, merc is a big team and then immediately sees someone he does know and goes for them.

A little bit of an odd thread??

Has Ferrari adopted the short wheel base and high rake similar to Red Bull? This could be one of the avenues that isn't working out for them. Mercs car has the lowest of all rake as well as the long wheel base and that is part of their design philosophy. I remember at the last test they tried a high...

Whens the pit window here, would have been interesting if vettel had pitted for hard at lap2

stevey

Vettel has a flat spot, needs to move over for Leclerc

stevey

I think its a lesson every driver learns at one point and thinks they've been cheated when its happened to them. Its happened to Hamilton and Vettel in the past, not to this degree, but they soon learnt their lesson. I just hope Max doesnt use the next race to simply target Vettel on his outlap and ...

stevey

If RedBull dont deliver Max will leave of his own accord.

Another season and it looks like he wont have a chance at a WDC, how many more is he going to wait realistically?

stevey

Absolutey shocked and gutted.

RIP to one of the many unsung heroes in F1. You will be missed.

stevey

I'd much rather a points system for quali than for fastest lap.

stevey

front wing/nose was on the list, not a replica of ferraris design but an suspected improvement to their own design as

stevey

Merc bringing lots of upgrades, new sidepods, front wing, t bar. God knows what else - looks like the pressure is on. As a merc fan I have this feeling that they are massively sandbagging and come australia are going to smash it.

What is Williams sources of income other than racing. McLaren and Williams both get legacy payments but the Mclaren tech centre/ cars have a steady income that leaves me to believe one day they may bounce back. The one problem being they got rid of Ron Dennis who was a huge driving force for their s...

stevey

In my opinion he's good/great but he's not driving for championships, you can see in Lewis that he is driving with control because that what he needs to do to manage the car that eats tyres and save the engine. If he was in Max's boat not really driving for anything other than the odd race win then ...

Toto is probably the only person in F1 I would not mess with.

I expect him to pick up Horner and plant him 3ft into the ground.

stevey

Hamilton simply pulls out his 5 wdc trophies and uses them as weapons to kill the roster. Meanwhile Bottas who Hamilton spares betrays him with a 2nd place trophy from Russia to the head and stands supreme Bottas steps out of the ring only to realise that the last entrant hasn't entered yet and suff...

stevey

Max caused that crash not Ocon.

The only reason there is an argument about it is because of the circumstance around their respective positions.

If it was an overtake for a real position gain the FIA would have punished Max for not leaving enough/any room.

stevey

Hamilton, Raikonnen and Ricciardo for me. Verstappen lost it with poor descision making and it cost him big.

stevey

Racing incident plain and simple, Highlights things to work on for both drivers, for Max he just needs to add the restraint to his driving that LH is showing today in order to get results looking at the bigger picture. For ocon he had to rely on Max to move out the way to get that overtake done and ...

stevey

I think Vettel would have gone give his defeat to Ricciardo. I think seb has the beating of Rosberg over a season

stevey

from a fans perspective would Ferrari fans swap Hamilton and Vettel for 2019?

stevey

I just hope Lewis can break his duck at brazil and finish first while securing merc the WCC.

The Ferrari is looking very Racy at the minute and the merc looks to be the tyre eating monster it used to be back in the day.

stevey

I was just wondering specifically to Ferrari\Merc fans\followers if you would happily swap Lewis for Sebastian for 2019? Please note this is from a constructors point of view not my favourite driver point of view. I understand people have recently been very vocal on Sebastian's ability, but this guy...

stevey

I really feel Ferrari will be a step above next year, for me its comparable to the Red Bull in aero (slightly weaker) and a match if not better than the Mercs engine. The only thing that can screw it up is Ferraris own development with the 2019 specs - Though they aren't massive changes. Red Bull wi...

stevey

looking at the lineup for 2019 makes me realize a lack of British racing talent on the grid, i'm interested in who will be the next big British driver after Hamilton leaves.

stevey

Ricciardo seems way more popular than Verstappen. I honestly don't see any reason why Red Bull would care which one of them won. It's not the same situation as Webber/Vettel. Webber was from outside the Red Bull family and was never as good as Vettel. Even then I think everyone at Red Bull bar Mark...

stevey

I definitely agree with the Hamilton one, it was ridiculous at the time and in my view still is. It was one of the most entertaining races I have witnessed to date and the result tarnished with a ridiculous punishment. Even if you think a punishment was deserved the magnitude of what was awarded was...

stevey

Alonso should go to Redbull. We'd have verstappen versus Alonso. He would be in a leading team. Red bull would have 2 of the strongest drivers around. He is a proven winner and i think instead of redbull relying on their young drivers programme they should for once try an older master to see what im...

Just watching the hungarian grand prix and kept seeing bursts of gases from the rear of the ferrari on corner entry. Anyone know exactly what it is? And its impact on the cars performance? I heard someone mention its to blow the rear wing and other parts of the rear similar to the old blown diffuser...

stevey

I dont think they do as both Merc and Ferrari have had lightning starts this year. What I did notice at Silverstone is Sebastian let Lewis settle at the start a short while before pulling up in P2. In races were the merc has to wait an extended amount of time in p1 for other cars to take position th...

stevey

placing my bet on Lewis. The merc just seems to have made the jump ahead and now with more upgrades seems a safer bet if they work of course.

3rd drs zone looks a little pointless, but time will tell.

So F1 fans suddenly feel otherwise crap music now is good because an F1 driver is involved in it. Aguileras voice is holding up the whole tune which is pretty flat and repetetive. people have different tastes in music Frankwer. It is a tune of its time. For me a singer like Adele is good by droans ...

Sorry dont agree with Alonso being the best driver in the world right now. He is a great and one of the best but not solely the best. I would take LH over Alonso in any series with the same equipment right now and for the last few years at least. I can see the argument for F1 and actually agree, bu...

stevey

If they bring back some of the excitement with the noise and cars being extreme versions of the current feel I could see the 2 meet once again.

Back in the day F1 was the rock and roll sport of its time.

And yes massively hoping for cheaper fees.

Apparently Lewis boy has co-written and performed on a song with christina aguilera which has been released and its not bad. Hes going under the name xdna or somet like that and the song is called 'pipe' as in laying pipe if you get my drift. For any of those interested he comes in towards the end d...

To be fair to the FIA Monaco is a bit of a bogus track as its not much of a power track. Canada on the other hand with that long straight should give a clearer picture.
