Re: Who are the 'on their day' drivers?
As much as Kimi has been inconsistent this year, I'd still say he is a consistent driver. An I believe the Hulk is one of the most consistent drivers out there. If I were to do a most consistent chart, I would have: 1. Alonso 2. Hulkenburg 3. Rosberg 4. Raikonen 5. Kvyat so far 6. Vettel 7. Chilton ...

At the moment, I believe that the Ferrari is the 6th fastest car in the grid, and the engine is probably as bad as that of Renault, taking into account that the Red Bull has the least amount of downforce.

Re: Perez vs Hulkenberg 2014 - Who will have the upper hand?
If they are underweight, then Perez' car and body would be under the limit. To bring it up to the limit, they put in ballast at the front of the car, to reduce understeer. I'm pretty sure if you put ballast at the front of the car, it creates even more understeer. Sorry, I just realised what I said...

Terrible strategy. Every race they seem to get it wrong.

Also, it would have been difficult for Mercedes to pass Williams because of the drag...

Yeah, I think that Perez got the better strategy and grid position (ironically) today. Hulkenburg's scrubbed tyres hindered him and got stuck in traffic, along with Perez, where he should have made his advantage with the softer tyres. In the last stint in Canada, Hulkenburg had to manage his tyres, ...
