F1 » Hamilton: Mercedes 'can get there'


flash harry. if you took the time to actually read my comment, it was not anti-lulu, but anti lulu fanboy! but jumping in to have a go at me, just shows that you are one of these fanboys! I do not really have to explain myself to you, but rarely , if ever, have I actually made insults about the "greatest driver ever". have a nice day!

F1 » Hamilton: Mercedes 'can get there'


dave. personally i was just correcting robs comment about drop in a race. other than that, nico has fewer points but that is not really due to poor performance. he had a dnf and was also held back. but on one point you are right, there is really nothing to choose between the greatest driver ever, and a driver that many claim is no use.

F1 » Pirelli: Tyre change not prompted by teams


rob. if that is the case, then sunny and I were right, and sky were wrong. I guess that if a change in construction was really on the cards, then all teams would have to agree. presumably Ferrari used their veto? maybe they have shot themselves in the foot, as they might have GAINED from a softer sidewall. so I guess that only the compounds will now be improved.

F1 » Hamilton: Mercedes 'can get there'


rob. it is many years since I graced school, but my maths is not too bad. a drop from 1st to 9 th is 8 places...but a drop from 2nd to 12th is a drop of 10 places! so that is another record that lulu has broken...biggest (merc) drop in places under normal racing conditions.

F1 » Button: McLaren can make small step forward in Monaco


ty. pcx (prof x) does have a thing about lulu! but yes, lulu is hard on tyres, particularly front , and brakes too, judging by barca. but due to his new found skill of going backwards, I wonder if maldo in a Williams will t bone him when going past at the hairpin? interesting analysis on sky the other night....ferdi used his kers whilst still taking corner three at barca, to get himself past the others. good control!

F1 » Wolff: Mercedes needs to do 'significantly better'


captain birdseye according to sky, Pirelli will not be changing the compounds, instead deciding to revert to last years construction. this will affect all cars, due to softer sidewalls, but I reckon that merc will be the biggest beneficiaries of this. personally, I thought that the compounds were the problem and should be changed, but apparently not. no change until Canada.

F1 » Ferrari: Some people have poor memories


sunny. yes. I don't understand it. I presume that sky have received some info on this, but it does seem odd. a cars aero is designed to compress the tyres enough to provide optimum ride height. soften the sidewalls, and the car will be pushed lower, spoiling the carefully calculated aero. who knows who will benefit or be affected b this, if it happens? maybe the earlier revision to compounds was an initial reaction, which clearly didn't work and they have no alternative to revert to 2012 tyres?

F1 » Boullier hits out at Pirelli move


sky are reporting now that pirelli are to change the construction of their tyres, (back to last years kevlar) and leave the compounds. so all teams will be lumbered with finding new set-ups to cope with softer sidewalls. this is of course, if fia allow this reversion. so it looks as if the change to steel belting was the architect of the delaminating and overheating problems. lets hope it puts all teams on a more equal footing and we can get back to some proper racing.

F1 » Ferrari: Some people have poor memories


i am rather surprised....just watching the f1 show on sky. they are saying that pirelli are in fact going back to last years construction but use this years compounds. the opposite of what i was thinking. so it looks as if all cars will have to recalculate their suspensions to cope with the softer sidewalls. i am puzzled as to how fia will react, as this is a material change. so in a way, i can understand ferrari and lotus being miffed, but then again, most of the other teams would be equally miffed, as it puts quite a extra work load on them.
