2013 British GP - Silverstone

[beelsebob]

That makes 3 GP's in a row the team screws something up for him .

FI drivers are doing a pretty good job this season. It is a pity that somehow the team itself ruins the weekends for the drivers.

This time its Paul' fault only.

"The weight is car + driver and apparently the discrepancy relates to Paul's weight when he stepped on the scales after qualifying" - @adamcooperf1

Seriously? You're trying to claim that Paul magically lost 1.5kg during qualifying and that it's his fault?

It can't possibly have been that the team miss-measured his weight when they put the ballast in?

[turbof1]

What was he going to do anyway? Throw in 1.5kg of pasta right before weighting?

Team's fault, clearly. You can't loose that much weight in such a short amount of time in those conditions. The only way to naturally do that is go jogging for a hour in Malaysia's tropic temperatures, loosing all of the weight in sweat. But this England, where summer feels like winter.

What should we do with Max Chilton and Giedo van der Garde? Those 2 are mocking F1, with there lack of performance. When are Caterham and Marussia planning to bridge the gap to the midfield? Those 2 teams are starting to irritate me. after 3 years still 4 or more seconds off the pace...

Funny how the two dominant cars (the best cars in the field by a mile) will struggle in the race due to Pirelli´s.

Funny how they're designed to run races, and hence are not dominant if they're struggling.

Blame the bullsh´t compound crafted by Pirelli.

Regular tires and everyone in their right mind would realize RBR and Merc got it right.
The Ferrari and and Lotus is essentially a big joke when it comes to producing a fundamentally quick car.
It´s second grade stuff compared to the excellence of Merc and RBR who seem to trade Poles depending on what efficiency is actually needed throughout the lap.

Ferrari and Lotus will never take a pole because it´s sh*t cars but are being plastered by the shitty pirellis.

Today showed just how far away they really are but with today´s tires that helps sub-par teams like Ferrari, Lotus and Force India the races look so much more different.
Instead of calculations it´s about pure luck hitting the sweet spot in races.

With two DRS zones Kimi and Alonso should be flying.

Your still repeating this same bullshit again and again

During a conversation with Sky Sports Ross Brawn said he was ''excited'' about their updates to improve tyre wear. We will see tomorrow.

Maybe he went to the toilet between q1 and q3. He can lose 3 lbs easily like that.

And you are still clinging on to "kimi´s" small words i can see.

Which as you know would nullify everything completely. Just think one step further...

[SectorOne]

I can´t point at a single factor saying "this and this is the reason" but man....they are doing something right here...
It literally flies on every track regardless if it takes pole or not.

Where on earth did Hamilton find half a second on his team mate from? They've been neck and neck all season, and now this? o.O

Dry qualies so far:
China: Lewis -0.377
Bahrain: Rosberg: -0.432
Spain: Rosberg -0.254
Monaco: Rosberg -0.091
Canada: Lewis -0.496
Britain: Lewis -0.452

I feel without issues Hamilton will be half a second faster more often than not. He didn't find the time, maybe it was the brake setup hindering it all this time.
As for the race, vettel win and webber in second. Others are too far back to have an influence. The FI of SUtil could be a threat for thee podium.

I've just watched the starts of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 grand Prix's and isn't starting second actually better than starting first. From past races it looks like that, two red bull front row lockouts and the driver in second leads into second corner in both instances. Only time it didn't happen was Alonso and the impressive Ferrari start along with an aggressive move across the track. Could be trouble for Hamilton?

[turbof1]

They do make alot of difference in slower sections. We had that in Barcelona, in Bahrain, and now also the slower last sector at Silverstone. They are still very fast in other, faster sectors, to my judging only slightly behind Red Bull, but slow corners are a trumph card Mercedes has.

what you need to know is RBR and Merc will struggle, Ferrari and Lotus will not.

To be fair – he is a scot – where summer feels like an english winter.

No, I blame the teams building their cars for the wrong task.
