F1 » Pole hat-trick for Rosberg as Mercedes storms Monaco


mark. I was reading kiwis post in a different way! but schumis time last year was set in dry sunny conditions, so in reality the merc is probably at least 1 sec than last years car. and tyres are more problematic this year too. I can see possibly Alonso and /or kimi coming into pits after a lap or two, being able to come out in clear air, and gain quite considerably, and when mercs have to come in at about 10 laps, then they will come back out in traffic and their race will be finished.. unfortunately Monaco never gives a clear race, and whoever wins will do so because of strategy. so who will call it right? I think that it is impossible to say,but Ferrari and rbr are the most likely. nice to see sutil and vergne showing up their teammates so far.

F1 » Ecclestone continues to rail against 2014 engines


pcx. you really do not understand much about turbo and na engines! this has all been explained to you before by a proper engineer! rimbert. formula means a combination of variable elements so as to produce a similar outcome, so yes, there is every reason why engines of different configurations, sizes etc could be used, provided that when the formula of various details are calculated, then all cars could compete reasonably similarily.

F1 » Pirelli hints at ‘lock it or lose it’ ultimatum to F1 teams


mr fill. at present there is already a fuel limit. and with the new engine, the fuel limit will be smaller and the fuel flow is regulated. with one make tyres, all this will bring cars very close together, so close that passing normally is nearly a thing of the past. that is why they brought in kers and drs. it is all artificial now....no such thing as actual racing!

F1 » Pirelli hints at ‘lock it or lose it’ ultimatum to F1 teams


whizzo. oh dear! do you not understand the tyre supply situation? it is not Pirellis fault! they are producing tyres to the fia mandate. any supplier would have to do the same. Pirelli (or anyone else) could make a tyre to last the full race, but they are not allowed to do this. fia WANT and insist on several tyre changes during the race, to liven up the show. the ONLY thing that Pirelli can be criticised for, is the delaminating, caused by improper bonding of rubber to the belt

F1 » Pirelli hints at ‘lock it or lose it’ ultimatum to F1 teams


apparently the fia have not agreed that Pirelli be the sole supplier for 2014. so it is odd that Pirelli are signing individual contracts with teams. what happens if someone does not sign? does this make fia contract void? does it mean that a team would be allowed to race using alternative tyres? etc I would have thought that once fia had dictated one supplier, then ALL teams would automatically have to comply and there would be no need for separate contracts? all very odd. maybe Pirelli are actually looking for a reason to pull out, as their profits have been hit badly?
