Re: F1 no longer the pinnacle of motorsport

All the major series are the best at what they do. The rules are the limiting factor in preventing another series to get to the level of complexity of F1. Lap times and money spent is a shortsighted way at looking at where the most technology is. If you take the aero away, F1 is not doing anything d...

Re: Pit Lane Camera Man

Also why does it seem like almost everyone in the pitlane is required to wear protective gear except the camera man? Hope he recovers quickly. Agreed. After this IMO _ANYONE_ in the pitlane during Quali or race must be wearing a helmet and probably fireproofs. I realise that neither of those would ...

Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread

To be honest, I think 2 podium steps is pretty terrific result for Lotus, max possible today, even with broken KERS Vettel had the pace to block indefinitely and they beaten both Mercs, Alonso and Webber today... its interesting to see that the gap between Vettel and Kimi is very close to the advan...

Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread

its interesting to see that the gap between Vettel and Kimi is very close to the advantage Vettel had in total time in pits. The RB pit crew did the job and kept Vettel in front. Vettel should be buying dinner and a few drinks today for those guys.

Re: Grosjean Today

I think the fans gave Massa a harder time last year with almost 100% of the posters asking for Massa's head. At more or less the same percent of the season completed he was about 86 points behind Alonso with Fernando having a good start despite the odds with what was arguably a very difficult car to...

Re: Should Grosjean be excluded from F1?

I dunno about exclusions but if I was Lotus I'd definitely be dropping him. He's costing them money on repairs,he has almost 1/4 of Kimi's points and while the other championship contenders have a team mate who can take points off the other contenders,Kimi has a team mate that can barely finish a r...

Re: Interesting Q & A with Dr. Vijay Mallya after Monaco res

So Kimi took Sutil out years ago, didnt remember it... I wonder if Kimi thought he should've been punched himself in the face? ;) It has been said by some posters that the situation can not be compared one to the other. I agree Kimi was not trying to pass, he just made a mistake, lost the rear, cou...

Okay I now understand that it was my mistake and I set up the DVR to record the re-run, but that mistake was due to lack of consistency from the Network.

Re: Perez driving today

As a Kimi fan I was worried as soon as Perez got behind him after seeing some of his driving today and after the failed attempt out of the tunnel it did seem only a matter of time before he ruined Kimi's or his own race and in the end ruined both. Don't see how he can be praised for just chucking i...

Re: Should Grosjean be excluded from F1?

there is something wrong with this guy, it seems he has a weak mind, looses concentration and creates problems for himself. Hopefully he will bounce back but in truth, the parts bill for the weekend was high and even tho Lotus might not have problems replacing parts it does creates more work for the...

Re: Physics/Maths of F1 acceleration and speeds

First: Our maximum force is the same, therefore our acceleration must be the same, unless we've dumped a passenger and lost a little bit of mass along the way. Second: Each rev we gain in our engine means we will cover the double of distance than in our previous gear (remember our ratio is now 1 to...

Re: Alonso vs Raikkonen

I find that looking only at qualy laps and fastest laps is only half of the picture. Weight must be given to racecraft and also integrity on the business of racing. The top four are very evenly match if you add all their weakness and strenghts, integrity being Alonso's weakness. He is up there in te...

I don't see Checo being "better" or having a better race than JB just because he was more aggressive. In fact it was disappointing to see him pulling the moves he pulled not caring if they were successful or not, some of those moves were successful thanks to the awareness of other drivers. First hit...
