Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene pins hopes on continual development rather then on revolutionary packages. The Italian is hopeful that his squad can keep up with its big rival Mercedes and can establish itself as a serious title-contender this year.
FC Barcelona have finished in the top 40% of La Liga every year since 1944, Real Madrid have been in the top 40% since 1977.bill shoe wrote:This is me officially taking the bait and asking: What team in what other sport has finished each year in the upper 30-40% of their sport for 35 years running?santos wrote:That is a great achievement in F1... in other sports there are teams with even better results.

They have an average finishing position in the Portuguese league of 2nd in the last 100 years and the last time they finished 4th or worse was 1975. But it is pretty similar for S.L. Benfica and Sporting Clube de Portugal who pretty much switch between the first 3 positions in the league every year.bill shoe wrote:This is me officially taking the bait and asking: What team in what other sport has finished each year in the upper 30-40% of their sport for 35 years running?santos wrote:That is a great achievement in F1... in other sports there are teams with even better results.

Ah, but as Jersey Tom has pointed out many times, the tire ultimately carries its load only by the sidewall tension near the top of the tire (sidewalls near top are straighter than the counter-acting sidewalls near contact patch, this is what enables tire to carry load). So really, you could argue all tires are indeed pullrod, not pushrod.Tim.Wright wrote:What's a pull-rod tyre?F1NAC wrote:I wonder how much is the difference in suspension settings between pull rod and push rod.
