F1 » Mercedes working hard to make Hamilton a winner


I rather suspect the 'frozen' engine idea for 2014 is rather fanciful. Perhaps frozen in the same way as BTCC where teams (usually Honda) enjoying an advantage get their boost dropped. If, say, Merc engined cars win the first 6 races of 2014 by a country mile, the frozen engines of the rest will become thawed out and rightly so. The FIA are always banging on about how F1 technology passes down to road cars and yet they stifle engine development for 6 years while allowing all manner of aero twiddles, none of which are particularly relevant to 99% of road users. I don't buy the cost argument as aero development is certainly not cheap.

F1 » Alonso: It’s not enough to win titles…


@billace "An inferior car would suffer from reliability issues" Timo Glock's Marussia and Kovalinen's Caterham both finished more races than Webber, Alonso, Button and Hamilton. So the Marussia and Caterham are superior cars? Don't think so. Only Kimi managed to finish all races. Does that make the Lotus the most superior car?

F1 » Lauda: Vettel will win anywhere


Fangio is not the only WDC with more than one team. Schumacher at Renault and Ferrari is one and strangely, he changed cars to a hopeless team that hadn't won a WCC for 20 years. Didn't do him much harm in the long run :) On bikes, Rossi won on Honda and won on Yamaha. Then he went to Ducati (champion constructor at the time) and the world fell out his bottom. So changing teams doesn't necessarily help. I think the test of Vettel (and many other drivers) will be the 2014 season when the next major rule changes apply. One car is almost certain to start off with an advantage over the others. Hamilton, I guess, assumes that will be Merc, Vettel's money is on RBR and Alonso's is on Ferrari. Things could be very different in 2015 though!
