Many fired tech guys from Ferrari turn out to be great at other teams. Binotto got the job very late in pre season, it was not planned. He has been the boss for months, 5 races in and it is...
No way so many people were wrong pre season. These types of tyres were used 3 times last year and pace difference between Mercs and the rest the same as now. Its the tyres. Everyone agreed to them...
Vettels 2nd place under threat due to a qualifying infraction.
Out again now.
If the wing styles have to match a particular style of car how can Red Bull just take the other wing solution and bolt it on, their car would also have to be redesigned. Seems like you choose which...
Damn. Should of won last 4 rac3s but only 1 of 4. Around 59 points lost and stuck listening to that melanzane.
Always have to win and next race Merx have their custom special tyres back. Ferrari strategy has been woeful this year but seem to be a no brainer today. They are leaning to tge 2 harder tyres today...
Even allowing for Pirelli cheating with Merc Ferrari strategy and team operations are awful. They should have been well infront in the title but keep conspiring to finish a few places behind where...
Lauda is always burnt by Ferrari. Metaphorically nowadays and literally in the past.
Pirelli Mercedes team back on top, still a bit close so expect more tyre safety changes. I think by safety its from Paul Hembreys perspective as if Merc cannot work the tyres Toto Wolf will beat him...
The 1st stop was stupid they had a huge lead were as quick as anyone but changed to a slowertyre when a safety car was likely. Put a certain win in the way of chance. I was screaming at the tv when...
To be fair a smoking Ferrari would give Niiki nightmares more than anyon else.
Absolutly. I was screaming at the tv to bring Raikkonen in straight after Bottas. Instead they sacrificed him for nothing. Then Vettel fell victim to RICHARDHEAD.
Ferrari have won 3 races out of the last 5. 1st team other than Merc to win 2 races in a row in this Merc designed engine era. Updates? Ferrari won the 1st to races so not in a desperate situation...
I agree. I would love one of those 2 in a Ferrari IF Kimi does call time. Problem is they do not have experience. Ferrari is like no other team for preassure. You can excel as a rookie but then melt...
Couldnt stomach Bottas. Only reason he would be available is Merc did not want him. In such a tight battle we would be taking Mercs sloppy seconds, they would have replaced their 2nd driver with a...
I thought variable valve timing is not allowed?
Is it fatter there as a radiator is now there that used to be in tbe sidepod?
Rosberg said on sky uk that the full power would be on all of q3. Guess he had a poor 1st run. If its a new extra special mode not meant for every weekend then great as I guess it hurts their engine....
Very satisfied with weekend so far. Experts said Ferrari would be 3rd team at best maybe McLaren or Renault will push them....reality Ferrari at least 2nd best and Ferrari engined Haas are 4th best....
Vertical radiators no v? Is the radiator area overall smaller but being vertical lower to the floor? If so is that because its closer to the centre of the car this year as new sidepods seem much...
Merc customer teams are said to be struggling and Ferrari but Merc and Ferrari customer teams taken a relative step forward....doesnt make sense...maybe all rubbish or Merc engine not that great?...
I thought the engine was supposed to be too thirsty, nowthey are saying chassis. I guess everyone is throwing every reason out there snd hope one sticks. Due to number of tyres weather and tracks...
If only used for quali they would have to start a race on it with full fuel. Surely could use for laps at the end of the race on light fuel as would be even better than on full fuel at the start of...
Would the oil through a seal not tie in with what you said....only happens when hot could not pass through when cold hence smoke on start up as too cold to get through the seal so burns out the back?...
