Re: Slip Stream. Car is 4 Seconds ahead.
Standing a mile in front of the threshold, I once timed when I heard the wake turbulence of the aircraft that had just gone past. It was 20 seconds. And it did kick up dust. I wouldn't be surprised if a F1 at full speed, does indeed produce wake turbulence that a driver following it can feel 2-4 se...

Re: VET and GUT = no penalty?
Clearly Vettels fault but I believe the resulting damage changes the stewards decision. So as Vettel lost time because of the broken wing and Gut didn't get any damage that's why they didn't penalise Vet

He had his wheel on the white line in the corner that mattered. Brundle was wrong. And the corner after where he went off he would have lost time by going of rather than gain time so that's why.Zoue wrote:Odd that Alonso's time has been allowed to stand when others were disqualified?

No, it wasn't a mistake for Ferrari. But it may have bee for Räikkönen; he knew just how weak Ferrari really are. Having said that, it does take time for changes to have an effect, and Allison being recruited must have eased his mind. There is no guarantee that signing a younger driver would have b...
