F1 » Spanish Grand Prix 2013: Alonso wears down the opposition in Barcelona


dan. absolutely no lecture on Pirelli, just stating facts that you post seemed to disregard. I have always hated the tyre compounds as I want to see RACING. which means fastest car/driver wins, without the intervention f pit stops, kers, drs etc. but for any tyre manufacturer to provide tyres that delaminate is nothing short of criminal. the elf and safety authority should be called in, as these tyres are putting lives at risk. not just the driers, but spectators too.

F1 » War of words over tyre wear heats up


daryl. so you don't like red bull? so why did you not read the story. EVERY team and driver, the fans, etc etc are complaining about the tyres daryl. no, its not th circuit, as there have been problems at other circuits too. barca has difficulties, but that is down to lack of space etc. nothing at all to do with the tyres.

F1 » Bianchi has his wing clipped by first lap scrap


I think that bianchi did his future no harm with his drive in spain. after vettel passed him in the last stint, he stuck to the rbr tail for the rest of the race. ok, I know that the tyres played a part in it, but he certainly showed quite a bit of class. a possible for red bull in 2014, or maybe a seat in str (courtesy of ferrar) for a year?? a star of the future.

F1 » F1 2013 POLL: Who was top dog in Catalunya?


after quali, lulu was not very happy and said that he didn't know what was wrong or how to correct it. nico did not complain though. but it is hard to know what is wrong with the car. they have been playing around with the fricking suspension for a couple of years now, and whereas lotus have it right, merc do not have the right expertise. this suspension by raising the front under braking, is putting more load on the front tyres and probably overheats them more than the back, and this could damage handling. interesting that the reason lulu was told to alter his brake balance was because his front brakes were overheating and the rears too cold. again possibly due to what I said above? it would be interesting to see how the car would perform if they went back to normal suspension. sometimes it pays not to try and be too clever. don't forget, the merc ddrs was a downright failure.

F1 » Alonso remains wary of Mercedes in Monaco


firestorm. a street circuit tends to be more wearing on tyres as it as a more abrasive surface, and also Monaco is heavy on tyres, due to all the twisty corners and acceleration required out of corners. however, as merc can manage their tyres for ONE lap, they could well be on pole and then hold everyone up at least until the first pit stop. so qualifying on the harder of two tyres could be an advantage to those behind.
