F1 » F1 China 2013: Vettel advantage cut in Shanghai


True! The Ferrari looked very fast on long runs today, though I would have liked to see Kimi's true pace without the damage to the nose. He clearly began to gap Lewis once Seb was closing in, indicating he had more speed in reserve, though probably not enough for the Ferrari. I don't like these tires. It was refreshing to see Fernando and Vettel putting in quick laps at the end when they no longer needed to conserve rubber. Hopefully the wear tolerance will increase and we can see racing that explores the cars' true limits.

F1 » Chinese Grand Prix 2013: Hamilton snatches last-second pole


If any of the front can make their softs last 7 - 8 laps with strong pace, that will be enough to neutralize the medium tire guys, because they will only use the softs for the same length at race end. I think Kimi can do this, and I think Mercedes boys might too, though it is questionable. i think the real concern is where they come out after their first stop. If they exit in traffic then Seb and Jenson look good. But if they come out in free air, they will enjoy fresh mediums on a reducing fuel load and then they look good. The race will be very interesting.... and you know someone will try to do most of the race on one medium set and finish on the soft. They wont win but they might move into the top five from well down the grid. We'll see.

MOTOGP » Qatar MotoGP: Lorenzo daunting in the dark


Nonsense! True fans recognize Lorenzo's incredible talent. He has proven himself time and again. Rossi and Marquez, if they are to challenge Jorge this year, will need to demonstrate incredible talent and commitment to the sport. VR and MM are at different ends of their careers but if they rise to the challenge, we may see a championship battle that supersedes any that has occurred in the past.

MOTOGP » Qatar MotoGP: Lorenzo wins - Rossi, Marquez steal the show


Gawd, I think many of the "experts" have never rode a performance bike or watched many great rides. Marquez and Rossi finished on the podium because they maintained great pace with a smooth style and looked after their tires until late in the race. they were able to push to the limit. Cal was spectacular but you could see his set up was going to compromise his late race performance. And Dani? Well, I like him but the pass by Marquez was calculated, precise, and likely set the order for the remainder of the season. And of course, Lorenzo was equally precise and thus very fast with his race pace. I have not been this excited for the season for years!
