Stu - I think you'll find Schumi's constant brake bias adjustments are something characteristic of the way he likes to drive. He's not the only one, but he's certainly one of the more extreme cases of it. That said, maybe his influence in the car over the years has pushed it more towards benefiting from that constant input. I'm curious to go find some decent onboard footage of Rosberg in the same car now, to see how frequently he's on it.

I'm trying to think of the reason why the fanboys wanted Lulu to leave McLaren...

Oh I remember! the McLaren cars weren't reliable enough for their little hero.


Fanboys - Giving real F1 fans a good laugh since 2007.

I was reading elsewere that Lulu had spent 20M on a private jet, he managed to dodge UK tax (again) by getting it delivered to the Isle Of Man. He also purchased a DOG and has asked Bernie if it can get a pitpass!
If there is such a thing as UK DOG tax no doubt he'll have dodged that as well....

Its easy to explain. He defo locked up, which is a driver mistake and nothing else. He went over his + the car + tyres limit at that point when he lost controll. Blame it on the characteristics of the Merc if you like, it still needs a driver to go over the limit when there is no need to, the car doesnt drive itself into the barrier. Keep counting how often this will happen with Hamilton driving and then count how often with Rosberg. So far its 1 - 0 for Hamilton. By the end of the year it will be 5 - 0 or worse and then tell me it has nothing to do with driver input.
