I like Kimi but just for the fireworks, I'd love it. He'd also lost the consecutive points finish record by one race if it happened!

Perez is not playing a mental game or whatever. It's pretty simple: He only figured out one way to overtake at Monaco. Throw it down the inside and hope the brakes slow him enough before the chicane. After the first time it worked, he simply kept trying the same thing again and again. It was ham fis...

For those who would trust their lives entirely to a computer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_72 Well that's not the best argument because it is well known that computers are, at the moment, incapable of taking complete control. The question is a hypothetical one where the computers have...

Why six seconds though? An F1 stop takes two if it goes well. Besides, nothing is lost if Hamilton stacks up either. I think Rosberg was way too slow. It didn't cost him anything but it cost Hamilton at least one place, if not two. He pitted right after Rosberg. Yes but if Rosberg had matched Vette...

Probably did it to deny Rosberg the chance at a Grand Chelem. Silly but I guess he cares about it enough to risk it...

phyz

As a huge hammy fan should I be worried? I know everyone said it would take him a few races to get up to speed but rosberg really does seem to have the edge on him. He just can't seem to match him on pace/raw speed and tyre wear. I really do hope it comes to him soon, as far as I can see he is the ...

It feels like the good ol' days!

Long thread, admittedly I didn't read all of it. But the original question was, why does the engine take longer to accelerate in higher gears, yes? Let's consider the simple scenario where the car doesn't have to deal with air resistance or frictional losses. These losses are larger at higher speeds...

phyz

From an engineering point of view, is pure rear wheel steering more unstable? If so why? I think we're just used to front wheel steering and the sensation of rear wheel steering is weird. But if we use objective parameters such as the speed at which the car loses grip or speed at which the car rolls...

I'd have no problems. Once the technology reaches that level, why would you care? Given the health and safety concerns these days, you can bet they wouldn't try this unless they were very very confident in their computers.

...Okay, as I had some time to kill and was kind of curious, I decided to look at two of the alternate predicting methods.

Can I ask, how do the percentages work in this sort of poll? Currently, the numbers add up to 101%

Wow, 11th to 34th in one round!

I hate automatics-- especially in sports cars. All of my cars have manuals. My SUV even has a manual -- had to special order it. I'm sure I've offended someone's masculinity. Not at all. It may come as a surprise to you but most people in the world don't associate the ability to press a clutch peda...

She was unable to engage the clutch when turning into the makeshift pits and did not know where the neutral button was. The ant-stall system meant she couldn't brake hard and simply stall the engine. If the car was fine, then the brakes were working. Why would the anti-stall system prevent an F1 ca...

I think they found that the car was fine.

That means it was driver error although leaving the tailgate open was not a great thing to do.

I wish I were going somewhere though. Kinda sad that all those memories and your basic identity just disappear.

I'd put DC up there.

The way he acts these days, you'd never guess that the same man won 13 Grands Prix at the highest level of sport.

Perez is at fault. He was on the outside and had no right to be there. Button just forced him off the track, as is his right. The FIA didn't even need to investigate the incident. That should tell you something. Perez just ran into the back of button in a corner. Totally his fault - part of the ski...

And Perez just got on with it. No one to blame here but Button is being a bit of a baby.

The more he talks, the more it sounds like he's realized Perez is up to speed and about to school him.

I apologise in advance but I really made myself laugh and I wanted to share it. The "F-Duct" was so named because it sat on the nose of the McLaren just near the letter "F" in the sponsor's name, "Vodafone".

Wasn't it obvious that Webber cut Rosberg off? I thought that was an instant drive through. Apparently not. Reprimand only. And the right decision in my view. It was a little naughty from Webber but not worthy of any sort of time penalty. I'm glad that the days of handing out penalties for every pi...
