Good for you, Mercedes is competing with McLaren 1988 at the moment to become the most dominant F1 car in history.Juzh wrote:Renault's so called upgrades really made the difference today.... except not.

Which car got a 1-2 finish in Monaco again? Eg. the ultimate test of car drivability, the one circuit where power almost irrelevant?Juzh wrote:Renault's so called upgrades really made the difference today.... except not.

1. No 2. You mean RED BULL-RENAULT team, that enjoys benefits of special, works-team partnership with engine manufacturer? Let's face it, it's also their fault, to the smaller extent ofc. Horner's/Marko's only idea of special preparations for biggest changes in the history of F1 was to have second team with the same engine. Recent successes got into their heads and they thought that that would be enough.Juzh wrote:Renault's so called upgrades really made the difference today.... except not.

You must've missed the STRs as they were well up the chart. Red Bull probably has the most down force, maybe, but I'd say the Merc has equal or better aero efficiency(l/d). Given equal power units, the Red Bull might be quicker overall than the W05, but i get the feeling the Merc would shade it by the tiniest of margins.Juzh wrote:Renault's so called upgrades really made the difference today.... except not.

I agree with you about the way penalties are addressed, but replacing the steering wheel after a crash or a force majeure stop is more important than it seems: if the car is stuck in gear there is no way to remove it besides a craneiotar__ wrote:1.

Oh look Maldonado got a reprimand, haha what a good laugh, I wonder what it was for:
- speeding under yellow flags (Rosberg)
- causing two collisions 100% fault (Raikkonen) (same for Monza 2013)
- turning into other driver mid-corner (Webber)
- 2 collisions with Kvyat and Massa (Alonso) - not even a reprimand
- taking other driver out of the race (Button 2014-Raikkonen 2013 Monaco) - not even a reprimand?
No, it was for "not replacing his steering wheel after stopping on track". Good to see that safety and driving standards are very important in F1. Whiting/Warwick were busy lately with local press interviews about Monaco Q3 with some knee jerk reactions like "why don't we extend qualifying by one minute when a yellow flag is shown in the last three minutes?" instead of explaining themselves about continuous, disgraceful application of penalties.
Why should Button get a reprimand for Perez taking himself out?iotar__ wrote:- taking other driver out of the race (Button 2014-Raikkonen 2013 Monaco) - not even a reprimand?

I'll go first:
1.2 seconds.
A friend and I where talking about this today, we think Lewis went for more of a race set-up than Nico. Lewis was substantially faster on the softs during p3 (the tire they will probably spend significantly longer on), and only 0.079 seconds slower on the super-softs, despite screwing up his lap.

Looks like Rosbergs not gonna roll over and submit the 2014 title after all as so many Lewis fannboizz claimed he would.
Lewis admitted having screwed up his final lap, so I'm not convinced by the "more race oriented" idea. He would have been 2 tenths up on super softs had he not screwed up.dans79 wrote:A friend and I where talking about this today, we think Lewis went for more of a race set-up than Nico.

As I said he was only a little slower despite screwing up. We think he is more race oriented, because he was so much faster on the softs during fp3, and q1. We also don't buy this hard to overtake talk from Lewis either. while it's not easy, the DRS advantage should be pretty good.beelsebob wrote:Lewis admitted having screwed up his final lap, so I'm not convinced by the "more race oriented" idea.
