F1 » Ferrari: Some people have poor memories


The compound change was done by Pirelli after they declared it going to be done, this was before Spain, it was as a result of Mercedes and RBR screaming murder, before the race in Spain I said that Mercedes were going to be hit the hardest, neither Pirelli nor the FIA can and will change anything without first advising the teams of such change, the compounds change was done to the hard tyre only, the operating minimum temperature was lowered from 110 to 100 degrees. All compounds before that were as per tyres supplied since brazil sample last year.

F1 » Ferrari: Some people have poor memories


Richard, I will be the first to defend your right to express an opinion but that also gives a right to others not to agree with your opinion. The tyres are performing according to supplied test tyres last year in Brazil, as per supplied tyres in testing in Spain this year, as per the sixty percent scale tyres supplied for wind tunnel testing, as per the supplied PACEJEKA model of the physical properties of the tyres as specified by the FIA, no Teams (some of them) did not design to incorrect data, they designed incorrectly to the data supplied, Mercedes has been doing it for the last three years and RBR looks like they tried hard to follow suit. Regardless of the tyres being good or bad, regardless of how long they last Mercedes and RBR are running their tyres above the operating temperature, Mercedes by as much as twenty/twenty five degrees.

F1 » Horner welcomes Pirelli announcement


Simplicity seems to confuse supposedly intelligent minds no end, more so when there is an axe to grind. Irrespective if the tyres are good or bad, if they last long or a short time, they are used by all teams at the same time and at the same track, some teams cannot make them work on their car design while some can, that clearly shows that those teams that cannot make the tyres work on their car they have a problem with their car design, is it right/just or fair on those teams that their car works well with these tyres to change the tyres because some other teams cannot make their car work with these tyres MR DIDI?. It is not true that everybody is complaining about the tyres, those that can make them work on their cars are not complaining. Persisting in sidling facts and repeating false claims by those complaining will only expose poor mentality/attitude to the sports.

F1 » Honda 'set to announce F1 return'


The Honda transverse V12 was a very interesting project at the time. The 1965 engine was the RA272E, I.5L V12 WITH A VEE ANGLE OF 60 DEGREE, IT HAD A BORE OF 58.1MM and a STROKE OF 47MM, it was RED LINED AT 14K RPM, the drive to the camshafts and to the clutch was from the centre of the crankshaft, fuel injection was used. That was the time that was, sadly it will not return.
