F1 » Marko: Free pass for Mercedes 'would open Pandora’s box'


ty. not a bad idea dropping merc for 3 or 4 races. that would allow the others to get their 1000kms of experience with the new tyres, and even up the advantages. wolff says that brawn will not be the scapegoat....does this mean that merc realise that they WILL need a scapegoat? but wolfs denial maybe a death sentence in disguise. brawn had been hinting at retiral at end of year, so this could still well be on. as for merc? yes they could still pull out as shareholders are still unhappy. and Pirelli? I can see them dropping out as all their comments are critical of f1, and Michelin have been talking with relevant bodies.

F1 » ‘Confident’ Brawn gave green light for test


35. what evidence do you have to support any of your odd comments about blind stupidity? none of these appear to hold any water. I doubt that for all their faults, fia, whiting, brawn, hembery, merc, Pirelli etc would be impressed by those comments. rules is rules...break them and you deserve to be punished. merc and pirelli have to prove that they did not break any rule, and so far that doesn't appear likely.

F1 » ‘Confident’ Brawn gave green light for test


otoh. yes brain washing might be a good idea, but then to brain wash..................................! not a bad idea to remove them from fp1, but do you not mean ban them from q1 and q2, making them start at the back for all the remaiing races? and yes, merc have made substantial changes, and I would be reasonably confident that at least some of these were as a result of the test. remember macca had to remove "Ferrari" mods from their car? maybe make merc take a number of steps backwards? ps. isntit nice to have more sensilediscusion, free from all the unregistered one?

F1 » ‘Confident’ Brawn gave green light for test


35. sometimes I wonder how much you actually understand about f1. the merc cars are fitted with a large number of sensors, and any info detected to these is sent to and stored in merc computers. apart from that, the drivers are like computers, they can sense what difference a tyre makes etc. to suggest that all info from a test belongs to Pirelli is absolute balderdash. if that was the case, why would merc bother to provide a 2013 car and their two current drivers? merc, in a statement even went as far as to say they learnt more about the tyres! as I , and others have sad, you cannot unlearn information.

chris. there was nothing wrong with what Stefano, Christian,martin and monisha said. the tyre issue was talked about because it is rocking the foundations of the sport. and I didn't hear chrstian speaking trash. rbr has a right to protest at what appears to be a flagrant breach of the rules. funny how all the other teams are saying the same, but you are not complaining about them talking trash.

F1 » Red Bull rejected Pirelli test approach


otoh. it was a question, nothing more! means zilch. re the other idea, the so called test hit merc for 1m$, and I doubt that any team would want to spare the cash for that, although it could be worth it. but how would you fit in 10 teams with private tests in that three week period? none of them would want a joint test. consensus on other sites is leading to a point stripping for merc and drivers. it is a difficult one due to the fact that merc, with their extra knowledge, could be taking points off other teams/drivers

otoh. would you be interested in an all expenses trip to Melbourne next march? see, I have approached you about this, but there aint a contract! I doubt that there will be too much benefit for merc in Canada, as the new tyres are not being used. however, they have a raft of changes which COULD have resulted from their long test, so there maybe some slight benefit. incidentally, though lulu was fast yesterday, he was destroying his tyres, so if he and nico are shooting for pole, they could well be starting tomorrow on pretty damaged tyres? nowadays it is far too difficult to forecast a result, as tyre usage, saety car and strategies can foul up any prediction

F1 » Perez: I did nothing stupid


livemusik. you should have left the light on and then looked at kimis previous lines at that part of the track! and thn looked at perezs other passes at that point. perez was consistent in his line and effected passes, kimi was consistent UNTIL perez went to the inside, and so left nowhere for perez to go! yes, perez was pushing his luck a bit, but kimi certainly cannot claim to be blameless. ps. I have just seen that kimi was given an official reprimand for the incident!

F1 » Red Bull rejected Pirelli test approach


otoh. rbr NEVER said that they were not contacted. they had said that an approach was made to them and as it was outside the sporting codes, they declined to send a car. Williams, sauber, force india, lotus all said that the had not been approached. and I suppose that marussia and caterham were not fast enough to be able to provide suitable data.
