QUOTE(BuFung @ Oct 22 2007, 02:20 PM) it is not McLaren cannot extract more pace than Ferarri from the tyre.. is just that McLaren cannot keep the tyre as good as the Ferarri did... It's both actually. There were times this season where we opted to use the harder tyres for qualy whereas Ferrari used the softs. And nobody cares about keeping the tyres in good shape in qualy. |

QUOTE(kobe8byrant @ Oct 22 2007, 03:30 PM) Brundle did say that the drivers do try to keep their tyres in good shape in quali for use during race day. Something to do with the tyres going through a heat cycle, making the compound harder, thus being able to perform better for a longer period of time. Normally that's for the third session. We have ran with the harder compound in the 1st 2 sessions. BMW for instance hate using their soft tyre and try to minimise the time using it as much as possible. We don't struggle nearly as bad as them of course. |

QUOTE(BuFung @ Oct 22 2007, 04:00 PM) I would like to know u guys opinion if McLaren manage to appeal and the title go to Hamilton... what do u guys think? I dunno. Obviously it's not the best way to win a title. But if Williams and BMW were running illegal cars u could argue Hamilton could have finished higher than he did. But seriously i doubt the FIA would swing our way this time around.Hamilton want a title like this? |

QUOTE(BuFung @ Oct 24 2007, 11:09 AM) Kimi set the fastest lap... The reason why so many stop supporting McLaren after Kimi left is because they are all glory hunters. There are no buts. Of course in F1 it's slightly less frowned upon than in football as there are many more fans who change teams every year depending on the driver they support.Maybe.. but not for me... I am in this thread for last year.. and I am with Mika.. then Kimi.. until now.. Kimi Switch team.. I still supporting him.. another reason why so many people stop supporting McLaren this year probably is McLaren have a driver who the fans not supporting/fighting for so long.. with Kimi.. while Kimi in McLaren.. which is Alonso... |

Well it had to happen. It looked promising early on but just didn't work out. All the best to him.

QUOTE(Darkmage12 @ Mar 22 2008, 03:06 PM) maybe something wrong with the engine? Erm....noIt's the balance of the car. We have to play it safe tomorrow. Doesn't matter if we don't win. Just try to score as many points as we can. |
