I think in the henry surtees case, the fia said that from analysis it would have definitelly helped.

The point some of us are making, at least i am trying to make, is that we don t see the racing being worse because of the halo.

Other aspects, besides the racing, i don t care for.

I think no one is making another one an idiot here. It s just some of us feel it s not worth for our own delight to see drivers facing unnecessary risks. Brake failure and crashing heavily because of it is unfortunatelly a risk a driver has to take when racing . Bouncing wheels or other flying objec...

This is for me the best proof that the Halo is a good addon. I couldn't care less how the car looks. Everyone is attracted by the danger of the sport, and yes it's exciting ....... especially if you are sitting in your underwear on your couch. Stick anything on the car that would prevent injury to ...

I don't think it has ever been denied that halo would make situations like this safer. The debate was always about other situations where the halo could make things worse. We would have to see a situation where a wrecked car is upside down and on fire to make a proper judgement. Also a situation wh...

So if you can't beat them then cheat? That's straight out of the Justin Gatlin book of sporting morals. I don't think paul_gmb supports cheating nor does he say that it is ok to cheat, how did you get to that conclusion? He only mentions that it was a great season as the racing was great. I can't s...

Sebastien should just push his car. This way it will be legal enough for everyone, including Merc. So Ferrari basically should be allowed to bypass the measuring sensors that ensure that teams are not cheating in your opinion? Also was it not last year that Ferrari ran an extra oil tank that was ba...

only the last corner is a problem. The track was modified for overtaking in another car era. Back then, less downforce and driving to the tire life meant the adjustments were enough. Now it needs redesign again. There is not a lot of space around the last corner, but heavily modifying the pit entry ...

Was fernandos time really on mediums, or is the graphic wrong.

paul_gmb

holy c**p . the detail on the front wing is incredible. The nose is weird to say the least, but the card does seem to have some detailing around it.

let's just hope it moves quicker.

is there a picture anywhere ? I am dying to see the car

paul_gmb

I am not a Verstappen fan, quite the contrary, but I fully understand why RBR are behind him. He is young, and definitely what happened in the first 4 races will not define his career. But if you treat this aspect wrong, it might result in him backing down too much. So they have to calm him down a ...

Some more opinion, this time John Watson: http://www.gptoday.com/full_story/view/636377/Red_Bull_should_demote_Verstappen_to_Toro_Rosso_over_Ricciardo_crash/ And from Mark Hughes: https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/f1/red-bull-fallout-baku Looks like Marko has now changed his stance too, fr...

Has this comment from Marko been missed (apologies if it's already been discussed)? I haven't seen it quoted anywhere else, but apparently he said: "For me that is 70 percent the fault of Verstappen,” Marko added. “He drives there zig-zag, that's completely pointless. He does not learn. " This was ...

For me it is clear enough. As a driver, to understand why it was written seems pretty obvious. If you don't want to understand it, well, you can ask Max how it works :) I guess everyone knows who was at fault. It's pretty much clear cut. Redbull can't say it was Max, because they are paying him top ...

As the days pass, for me it is just clearer. - Most of the drivers have sold the dummy at least once over their career. Almost everytime this was done, the move worked without incidents. - This kind of move revolves around the fact that if you switch direction twice when defending, you will leave at...

My personal feeling is that no one is very eager in signing Daniel. Merc are quite satisfied with Bottas. They don't need the complication. Ferrari will most likely resign Kimi, as up to this point, he is getting the points. I think they want a Ferrari academy driver in for 2020. Redbull would keep...

I would say 90% Ricciardo. Max picked his line, and was straight when shifting back. He braked after moving. His steering movements were minor. Dan was frustated because he came out behind Max, even though his pitstop was faster. He was beaten in the in- or outlap. Dan was never gonna make that cor...

paul_gmb

From what I could see the move Ricciardo did, has been done by others in the past. I don't remember many incidents. What Max did, as the defending driver, I didn't see others doing. Moving twice I mean. So there is two ways of seeing this: 1. Either Max is the only driver in history capable of movi...

Can't believe Mercedes haven't won a race yet this season and we're three races in. Seems surreal after the last few years. Something tells me they will be back at the front again this race, though. They got pole by over a second last year and it's hard to imagine other teams overcoming that sort o...

paul_gmb

Yes I don't disagree with any of that its just the first time ever really that Ferrari have employed strong visible favouritism so early in the year. The line has always been, no favouritism until one driver is established as the title challenger. For example last year in China, Kimi held Vettel up...

the car is up there with the Renault and the Haas pace-wise . I would say a bit quicker than them in race trim. I do agree that in qualifying it is miles away, which tends to be a problem. Still, he is doing a great job with what he has. From what everyone is talking, venting engine elements was a ...

paul_gmb

Unfortunately, Kimi has both bad luck and is used to help Vettel. While none can be changed, If he holds on mentally and just focuses on getting points, with his current form he will be right in the mix come years end. Especially if there are more cars always in the mix. If you are with a fighting c...

everyone seems to be on the same page. It just seems to obvious for things to happen like this.

My guess is we might just be in for a surprise.

paul_gmb

from what i've seen, all the major f1 commentators and specialized press are discounting mclaren.

I just hope somehow they are wrong on this one.

paul_gmb

I still believe Mclaren may be closer than everyone thinks. I don't know why I have this feeling, maybe being too optimistic.

If you look at the car it seems way too undeveloped in the sidepod area, making me think that updates may be coming for melbourne.

paul_gmb

I still believe with the package they are bringing to melbourne, they think they have something up their sleeves and don't want to risk any possible protests. Yes, I think (hope!) that as well. That's really the only reason for not having it on for testing, so they must at least think they've found...

paul_gmb

I don't know the exact condition and fuel loads, but what is good is that it seems that Mclaren can turn it up quite quickly. It does seem that their approach isn't necessarily outright pace, rather than the ability to be on/off as the conditions require. I still believe with the package they are br...

paul_gmb

Believe me, Alonso would be at Toro Roso had this been true. I don't want to contradict you, I have no evidence. It just seems to me Alonso wants to win more than he cares about Mclaren, Honda or the rest. My guess is that it was a poor engine from Honda and that's the point. This year doesn't seem ...

Redbull sold about 5 billion in 2014 with a profit margin of over 10%. From what I've read, Rich Energy sold around 2 billion ( reported ). Theoretically, it could happen, BUT I don't see from where 200mil could come from to buy the team and from where extra money to finance the team. I am sure that...

paul_gmb

hopefully, they will solve it quickly.

The car doesn't look that bad really and the engine is performing decently.

I am curious if slowly we are going back to the days when the engine was not really a major factor unless you were getting it totally wrong.
