They may have brought in some young players, but, in my opinion, they were not sufficient enough to replace the big names of Vidic, Ferdinand, and even Evra has dropped the ball this year. Looking at the squad you picked: De Gae: good year, no major problems. Rafael: injured for a lot of the season ...

They did more than 1 lap in qualifying... This is true they did indeed but when it counted they were slower. You confuse me, my OP just stated that the Red Bulls were quicker at some stages of qualifying than Rosberg and/ or Hamilton. I never said that they were faster than them overall. You mean l...

No one else but the Merc drivers. One win for Rosberg, three for Hamilton - bit of a no-brainer really! Yes, they achieved maximum points, but aren't they expected to do so? Put the top 1/4 drivers in a mercedes instead and I'll garauntee they do just as well in terms of points scored. It was expec...

off topic yes but as you asked. Poles racing together Ayrton had 5-0 against Michael that's to 94 as not sure why you only asked to 93 as my point was Michael never took a pole while Ayrton was racing.I think it's incredible because Michael was one of the greatest yet only took a pole once Ayrton w...

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting confused :lol: ! Unfortunately the post numbers have disappeared on my computer - so I'll repeat an earlier post:- As for Alonso, (IMO) he's a great driver - but not a good 'team' player and its no shock when he claims 'Lewis is the best I've ever raced' (beari...

It's not so much a ridiculous question. Although Ricciardo isn't being favoured, it would be favourable for Red Bull to be an attractable team which would build a fan club. But truly, no. Not with Helmut Marko as the Boss, and with Vettel having so much control. No.

Eye sight is very important, especially when driving at 330km/h looking for the second small white square that flashes by before braking into a corner. During wet weather I imagine it might be handy to see where puddles of water stand and the lack of visibility when raining would be helped with good...

Schumacher forever#1

I remember a lot of people saying before the season started, that it would be Alonso and Kimi. Is that still the case? Probably not If Raikönen can hook up his car and put in decent performances again, I think they could be stronger than Nico and Lewis. Having said that, I think we'll see the best ...

Schumacher forever#1

My take on it? Moyes inherited an average squad that were dragged to the previous season's title by a combination of a legend of a manager and the competition conspiring to trip themselves up. Throw in a change at executive level as well, and 2013-14 was always going to start on the back foot. The ...

Schumacher forever#1

He just sounds like a lot of people on this forum. The truth is Alonso would drown a puppy just to have had that Red Bull these past four seasons. If he had, then others would now be saying the same thing about him. Just jealousy. Schumacher had dominant cars longer than Vettel but few ever dare qu...

Schumacher forever#1

I find this very interesting, but I'm not sure if it reflects on the true consistency of the drivers. Isn't this more of a NASCAR table rather than consistency table. If I were you, I'd wait until the end of the season (yes, I know, that's a long time away) and measure consistency of each driver by ...

The merc has better downforce than people are giving them credit for. Red bull were gaining as much as 2 tenths of a second in the middle sector of Shanghai, and that's just one sector :uhoh: When was this? Lewis was faster in every sector than the field on most of his runs. Only Rosberg dipped int...

Schumacher forever#1

Anyone find him annoying sometimes? Or just doesnt get his facts right before talking? Eg. at the start, he said Ricc was in second position behind Lewis but it was Vettel actually. and on one occasion, he said Lewis overtook Alonso into turn 7 many moons ago, but actually it was Vettel that got ov...

Sky F1 showed the difference in length of the three different power units at the end of the straight. The gap between the Mercedes unit and that of Ferrari was 3 car lengths, from one point to another, that's four car lengths. Add DRS, some ERS, and slipstreaming, it will be easy to make up the dis...

I think it was because Vettel is losing confidence with every weekend that goes by. He was coming into Australia knowing that his car was unreliable and most likely was slower than the leaders. After being in the best car for at least three years, his racing feels alien. Retiring and seeing his team...

Schumacher forever#1

I've worried about this, too, and the fact that fernando might only have 1 or 2 more years of brilliance left in his career could mean that he could walk away with only 2 championships to his name. Alonso is craving for another WDC and, when Sky asked him what would he give for another championship,...

I think history will remember as one of the greatest...Even the people who hate him say that he is a greatest...is very easy to hate someone almost perfect.

This absolutely can be damaging for his reputation. If a driver is really, really special, someone like an Ayrton Senna, at maximum one or two drivers on the grid should consistently run at their pace. And Vettel has been compared to greats like Michael Schumacher. You can make excuses about drivin...

Interesting on nicos facebook saying he was half a second up on his final flying lap but his delta was saying he was two tenth a down so he flung it into the last corner thinking he had nothing to loose and spun.

100kg per hour = 1.666 kg per minute = 27.7g per second.... etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the sensor isn't actually measuring mass flow but volume, 'cos this is easier. 100kg is about 130 litres. Nope, volume varies with temperature. They are measuring mass with immature sensors, hence why we had...

I wouldn't say Daniel and Vergne are close, no. Vergne was far slower over 1 lap, he never really challenge Daniel much. Due to the mid field lottery in races it was slightly more mixed up. What did Daniel out qualify him last year, 16 to 2 or something? As I said, I was exaggerating there, wasn't ...

dang it. P5, but almost +2 sec off lewis' pole time. wet conditions certainly helped ferrari, holding back the rest of the other mercedes powered cars.

It seems to me that Vettel is in a bad state of mind, and Ricciardo in the complete opposite state. It is early stages and a few qualifying performances cannot justify the skill of the pair. The problem with having two drivers per team is that we're never really sure if a driver is slow, or the oth...

To be fair, Rosberg could have had a very competitive lap without the mistake he made at the last corner. They are still extremely close and I expect one to be better at another circuit and the other to be good at the next track. Also, Red Bull are lingering behind and I expect them to be challengi...

I'd say the talent will be stronger and stronger, not only in motorsport. With the equipment given to the youth today, I see it as no surprise that young drivers are challenging for high positions.

There will always be a team that does 'pathetic' in every race. When you have 6/7 teams fighting to get into Q3, there will always be a few that under-achieve. Take looking for a podium in Bahrain: around 6 people were looking to get the remaining podium spot, and, I'm sorry, but 6 does not go into ...
