F1 Ernie - went and saw it was .036 sec slower in the second run

F1Oz

A bit the same if you have a midfield car where the reliability is an issue at a track the car is actually able to score points (versus reliability where it isn't) - so if a driver has a couple of bad car days at the wrong races - the reliability looks the same but the points tally is massively diff...

Fantastic lap from Dan Ric - on the money every session so far this weekend - he deserves this win given he was robbed by the team in 2016 - and has been the ultimate professional so far

F1Oz

I have no problem with a team mate defending an overtaking attempt - but I do have an issue with aggressive defending like Verstappen in Baku where multiple times it was give way or crash - including hitting dan earlier as the only way he stayed ahead - it begged for an accident and rbr should have ...

F1Oz

he moves mulitple times in the braking zone - pushes boundaries on a let me go or crash basis (at least 5 this race alone - largely against his own team mate) - the man is a menace and the FIA need to send a message that this isn't acceptable - time for Max to sit out some races for his dangerous dr...

Again Max moving multiple times in breaking zone - ILLEGAL DRIVING from Max - [removed]

Max continuing to put the team last - drive dangerously - should have been penalised twice - totally immature and will ALWAYS be - will NEVER be a WDC unless gets a totally superior car

F1Oz

AGAIN RBR need to tell Max to let Dan past - at this point he is putting his interests against the team - trying to put BOTH out - if Dan takes his rightful position - this is idiocy from Max - AGAIN - this guy will NEVER be a WDC - he is too immature - and will always be!

RBR need to TELL max to let DR past

F1Oz

MAX IS AN IDIOT

F1Oz

Vettel has this unless wind or SC intervene - and Kimi will take both RBR unless there is another SC

F1Oz

if RBR continue to favour Max when the [guy] puts himself ahead of the team - then he has to move - without a super superior car, max will continue to make stupid mistakes as he is a fast but very flawed driver

F1Oz

The only reason he hasn't crashed multiple times this race is that others have let him do [foolish] things - rather than crash - TIME for the FIA to let max sit out a few races for stupid and dangerous driving

F1Oz

Max doing that against any other car would have the other team complaining - rightly - he should be penalised for that sort of rubbish and it's time for RBR to put their team, and not max verstappen - first

F1Oz

He clearly hit Ricciardo as an avoidable incident - after previously doing a push to crash or let me pass overtake to take position - there's a difference in serious defending (some of which has been fine for Max) but this guy is a MENACE - and if RBR don't take public action - then it is clear that...

To those discussing the idea of stripping Mercedes of their oil burn assisted titles, once the FIA gala happens, the results are not allowed to be changed. If they could, there would still be debates about Schumacher versus Hill for switching the title. Basically it helps keep records straight. Wel...

Dan will be in the Merc and win from 2019

F1Oz

When Vettel stayed out, the thought in my mind was that they were trying to create a situation where he would have much fresher tires than Ham and Kimi, and would be able to attack them later in the race. I didn't think at the time that they were just actively waiting for a SC. I thought that if th...

Couldn't vote on this as it wouldn't log me in (or it would but logged me out as soon as I went onto a site) - not good

Clearly the only thing that cost Hamilton the win was Merc sitting him not far enough ahead

I don't think Bottas cost Merc the win - their failure to work out the relevant gap cost them the win - but Bottas may well cost Merc the constructors championship this year as Raikonnen last year cost Ferrari the constructors championship. It's one thing to worry about issues between team mates (re...

Welcome to our world guys - in Oz - the ONLY race we are guaranteed to get is our GP - last year we were scheduled to get just under half the races live (not qualifying or practice at all) - but they reneged and didn't show the last two races they had said they would. I'm guessing we will get no oth...

F1Oz

I don't mind avoiding some sort of artificial qualifying mode that disproportionately gives advantage. In the past there were qualifying engines - that only lasted a few laps - I think what you race with is reasonable to be what you qualify with - so if there is a boost button for races, then it's o...

F1Oz

I think Ericsson was looking much faster before he retired - so gave the vote to him - not a bad drive by Leclerc but not great. most of the rest reasonable - Raikonnen clearly the best Ferrari driver on the weekend - unlucky - although only Merc stuffing up the gap management and Bottas' accident g...

F1Oz

One thing I didn't realise was McLaren extended their wheelbase this year, I think for the PU switch but could also just be because that's where it's going to maximise bargeboard area and reduce drag. So in other words, the car is different enough that maybe you can't use this car to prove that the...

F1Oz

Had a look at that - and it could work - just need a small extension of a road to make it sensibly merge into the current track leading to the second last turn before the main straight - as a local, I think that could work and will make suggestions to my relevant authority

F1Oz

Given it was possible to pass and there were more passes in the past - even without the third DRS zone - it suggests there is something with the current cars that makes overtaking even more difficult - not a good sign for the season ahead

F1Oz

I'm sure if Vettel had an engine mode to go to that can save him in the race like the Merc drivers he would just have been fine. Vettel delivered three of the best qualifying laps witnessed this this season. As for Ricciardo when he gets to Vettels level he can talk, for now he should concentrate o...

And was it used on both cars?

F1Oz

And Dan had more grid spot penalties - and also 'finished' races with problems - like in Singapore - just didn't retire - so I think Dan had an equal number of reliability issues - more grid penalties - lost out in key races where RBR was competitive - and still was well clear of Max I think it was ...

F1Oz

If dan didn’t have mechanical issues in Singapore - he’d likely have won - yes that is one of the races where Max lost out - but you have to look at the whole season - and Dan has lost out overall more - and has had more grid penalties also - so for him To be ahead on points suggests a better season...

F1Oz

And other races also need to be considered in their full context - I’m not saying Dan did better in all - but he certainly did better in some than the results suggest

F1Oz

The facts are that Dan had the wrong set up at Brasil - and for a third of the race struggled with a poorly handling car and lost positions and time - including not being able to properly defend against Max - then after the pit stop - he not only got all the way back but without vigorous defence - w...

F1Oz

Not sure why my post on another thread was somehow posted on this thread - PF1 - something to investigate?

F1Oz

Happy to support Ferrari - but need to lose their unfair financial advantage

F1Oz

I hope Ferrari stays - but they should lose their unfair financial advantages

F1Oz

And if Dan had gone 16th to 3rd or 2nd - I suspect that would have seen Dan as driver of the race - not Max - yet with reliability that would have happened
