Any news on why the starts were so tardy yesterday?

Agreed. It should be completely transparent. The same as PU and gearbox usage.

We've already been to Saudi, which is the 2nd fastest circuit on the calendar.

Right, so we've established that she's prepared to take a job on Monaco. So why would Susie Wolff prevent Toto Wolff taking a job in Maranello as head of Ferrari? :Hmm



Right, but Ferrari have...

Has Susie Wolff stated anywhere that she's unwilling to relocate to Italy?

Her job is based in Monaco, so why would her husband's job need to be based in the UK?



They still only won 3 races...

So then please explain why it's more convenient for an Austrian with a home in Switzerland to be living in the UK?


Then why have his results been worse?



Pure conjecture and a very...

Wolff has 2 homes. One in the UK and one in Switzerland. He also spends a lot of his time skiing in Austria. Being based in Italy would actually be more convenient for him. Also bear in mind that...

Perhaps you could be more specific...

For example:

Who specifically will Ferrari hire that they can't hire now?

Which wind tunnel will they use in England? Or would they build a new one?...

How can you be so sure that the location of the design office is what's holding Ferrari back?

If we're talking about this season specifically, it is quite clear that the engine is a dead weight....

Perhaps you would like to explain why you're so sure that it wouldn't fail again?

12 poor starts to the season? Please list them. Seems like you have very high standards. Certainly 17 and 18 were not poor.

I guess Mclaren should re-consider their base in Woking given the...

Have you been to Brackley or Milton Keynes? They are not glamorous places. Guys working for Mercedes or Red Bull will be living in those places. They won't be living in London or working in London!
...

He did just fine at Mclaren...



There will always be turnover regardless of nationality. Even the Italians will come and go.



A move like this has a lot of costs involved. It's not...

That seems wholly inefficient.



Do you really think Milton Keynes or Brackley is that much more enticing? :Hmm

I understand that some Brits might not been keen on moving themselves (and...

Ferrari used to have this setup in the mid 90s and it brought no success. John Barnard had his design office setup in England. Chief Designer Gustav Brunner was also working out of England.
...

Not quite. Merc released a B-spec car at the 2nd test (which they were always planning to do). The reason why they released it later is because they needed more development time.

Not if Leclerc beats him! (as he did last year)

If there is something wrong with the engine (and a new one is required) then Leclerc will almost certainly take an engine penalty later in the season.

Vettel finished 2nd, and was 81 points behind Hamilton. Given the level of the cars last year, that was not a good performance from Vettel.



Charles hasn't had the opportunity to prove himself...

Leclerc was better off the line in Australia. Vettel was better off the line in Bahrain.



Agree. Vettel has been aggressive when fighting on track with Kimi in the past which led to several...

We've only had 2 races to compare them. We can't definitively say that one is faster than the other yet.

Then perhaps you should join a Vettel fan forum?

He's made too many errors recently, and some Ferrari fans are not happy about that. No driver is immune from criticism.

I wonder how we will do here. It's a front limited circuit (like Melbourne), but it has some long straights which should play to our advantage.

Vettel was always error prone, even in his RBR days. It's just that back then he had a dominant car and he could still win the championships even with all the mistakes he made.

Now the Mercedes...

Where do you get the figure of 0.1 sec from? GPS traces showed it was much larger than that.

We only had major problems with destroying our tyres in Barcelona.

Car looked great in the wet in...
