Scratch that I'm wrong. Looks like both the app and the website are wrong. I looked again in a few other places and they list FP1 as 13:30 local time, which would make it 01:30 GMT. Geez, no wonder people are confused.

So that corresponds with MistaVega then

Given Rosbergs attention to detail I don't see it as a matter of 'just copy Lewis'. Maybe he doesnt possess the skills to just copy? . Exactly! Rosberg doesn't possess the needed defending/overtaking skills once it comes to the sister car. He has to copy from the nearest driver. Guess who he is. :-...

Your right it does. I looked on the F1 app which says 9 hours, which looks more corrected. So yeah, weird error on the website 9 hours would be right I think? Yes 9 hours from now is 01:00 on Friday 13th March GMT, 12:00 local time, which I belive is the correct time. No idea why the website is wro...

People also spent the run up to last season saying how Kimi would do better because of his previous low grip experience and the difficult drivability of these cars Another one was how he was going to destroy Massa in 2008 because Massa could not drive without TC This is why I think its nothing more...

It's quite amateurish considering it is the officlal website for F1

Some good news Ocon has signed to race in GP3 for ART, I believe he will be the favourite for the title. I'm not sure Ocon is the clear favourite, I reckon Kirchhöfer will be quite a force this year. He's had a great junior record up until now: he won the title in his Formel Masters rookie season a...

The site seems to be wrong has it is stating that first practice starts in 7 hours time

Rosberg has been studying where he can improve. I don't think breathing is the answer. Lewis used less fuel. Rosberg would benefit from figuring out how to use less fuel, then he can have a lighter car. Hamilton always forced Rosberg to have to try and overtake him on the outside, then if necessary...

There's a HUGE difference between 'best driver last season' and 'best current driver' - otherwise Lewis would have been written off at the end of '11 in the same way as Seb has been at the end of '14. At the end of the day it means little - except neither of them are likely to make the top 5 GOATS ...

pokerman

I think you are missing the point that Vettel only had Mark Webber as a teammate his other teammates were 3rd rate, Hamilton beat 2 world champions, Rosberg actually beat a 7 time world champion albeit he was slightly long in the tooth, not enough was really known about Vettel, even Alonso said tha...

I've been of the mind that Hamilton was setting up his car for the race, not qualifying for the 2nd half of the year (similar to Prost in 88). I think Hamilton realized that if he set up his car for qualifying he was 50-50 (unlike Prost in 88 who had almost no chance of pole under any circumstances...

Is there a difference? My votes would differ for those two polls as I'm sure a lot of others would. Do you really base your opinion on the drivers solely on the previous season? And do not take into account how they performed in prior seasons? I make an adjustment after each season, do you really t...

I haven't seen a thread on this so I thought I'd start one. Who do you think will come out on top in each team this season. Mercedes - Hamilton Red Bull - Ricciardo Williams - Bottas Ferrari - Vettel Mclaren - Alonso Force India - Hulkenberg Sauber - Nasr Torro Rosso - Verstappen Manor - Stevens Lo...

Honestly, I can understand why Mercedes, Force India, and even Williams to some extent, retained their current drivers. I haven't mentioned Renault, because they weren't powered by Mercedes at the end of last season. I also haven't mentioned Sauber, because I think adding more drivers to the mix in...

Regarding Webber he just couldn't get his head around the driving technique needed for the EBD, it just was so unnatural for him, also he was terrible with the Pirelli tyres he was basically said to be the worse driver on the grid in terms of being able to conserve the tyres, the next worse actuall...

Monaco is hardly a normal track to evaluate car performance ah, right. Is that not just a way of shaping the facts to fit your argument? No I believe that is something that is generally accepted, the best car of the year is not always the best car around Monaco which is even less reasoning to say i...

How much is down to the team/car in GP2 anyway? I've been watching for a year or two, but it seems like it might be a lot? It always seems to be DAMS and Racing Engineering out front (and ART, sure, but I've seen them throw results away several times). Gasly was pretty damn awful in GP2 last year f...

I think Mansell was also severely underrated. He wasn't nicknamed "il leone" for nothing and was a fighter. He was quite similar to Hamilton in his flamboyant style. In his year with Prost he suffered much more reliability issues (in much the same way as Lauda did) but he was often very, very quick...

pokerman

He did get a podium four races before, at Monaco. But he never managed consistent performance until after Hungary. Why do you think results improved? Because the car had improved as witnessed by Massa's podium the race before, the car maintained that performance for the next few races but then lost...

You only consider 2 situations: 1. The car perfectly suits the drivers 2. The car does not suit the drivers at all. You don't consider anything inbetween, or consider the fact that the car may suit the driver at some circuits and not at others. I mean look at Singapore 2014 - car suited Kimi and he...

I think Seb’s relationship with the team broke down after Malaysia 2013. I am still convinced that Dietrich hoped to get a championship for Mark before he retired but Seb blew the doors off that. I know they went on to break records & win a lot of races & both championships but I don’t believe the ...

pokerman

It's obvious hyperbole (the same post described him as having been 'butchered' after all) but he wasn't a top driver. Mansell himself - and presumably by extension Piquet, whom he pretty much matched - was a definite cut below the top tier of his era, which was Prost and Senna. Considering how soun...

You actually meant to say, "... then I would probably put him in the top 6 rated drivers". The forum took a vote and Vettel was not rated in the top 6 so I am not the one in a minority here What was the question of the vote? Best driver in F1, or best driver of 2014? Is there a difference? My votes...

Yes, I think that is pretty much a general understanding that Vettel needs to beat Kimi, as you could see that even from our posts here. Nobody is yet saying something different.

If you read my reply just a few up from this, you will see that I have stated it could be one of several factors. The only fact I have stated for certain is that Kimi's results improved fairly dramatically. So something in the car's makeup must have changed in order for him to get the results he di...

I don't understand how this is difficult. If the car suits them, they will maximise its potential, whatever that might be. In which case they will be very strong subject to the maximum potential of the car. If the car is not to their liking, then they will not maximise the potential of the car and ...
