QUOTE(HMMaster @ Oct 21 2018, 08:32 PM) Looks like the Ferrari performance is much better this week... only a bit weak on corner/turn. Too bad vettel will start from 5th.  Ferrari straight-line speed really like a Boss, is the extra 40hp back in this race? |

So when the "ultimate" Ferrari performance restored, Mercedes back to panicked situation...
bad strategy... tyre cannot lasted due to overworked... team order twice etc... it's fun to see Mercedes no longer has horsepower advantage and panicking when Ferrari challenging them, haha |

QUOTE(8sg9ft @ Oct 22 2018, 01:36 PM) Yeah, true. They were thinking to do something different to Kimi to give Lewis a better shot at winning. Just didn’t work out. But anyway, means nothing much except for restoring some Ferrari pride. The inevitable will happen in Mexico, unless Lewis has a stinker of a race...which rarely happens Let's hope for engine kaput like Sepang |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Oct 22 2018, 07:08 PM) Ah ya my bad! yeah, this year merc will enjoy their last championship for v6 hybrid turbo engine era. Well he should've won back in Monaco 2017 if Ferrari did not stitch him up to favor Seb. Monza he could've won too if not for Ferrari to mess up the pit timing. It's just a pity that the win came too late hence Ferrari had decided to let him go. Toto's face, well that's just small disappointment because they have to keep the victory champagne and t-shirts under wrap for another race but nothing like disastrous disappointment. I think Max honestly did not know. next year will be ferrari glory year, it will take a few years for competitor to catch-up with their holy PU power. |

Mercedes removed their "illegal trick" aka modified wheel rim prior Austin race, fear of Ferrari protest, no wonder their car chewing tyre rubber like nobody business...

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Oct 25 2018, 05:06 PM) But actually FIA already clarify that the wheels are still legal. Ferrari can protest all they want but they loose the championship by their own fault, especially the driver. Mercedes's trick also helped, imagine previous 3 races Hamilton's rubber cannot lasts, he would not able to maintain his pace and may not won. |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Oct 28 2018, 11:27 AM) Great lap from Ric to steal Max's thunder! The RBs are fast over a lap but they might be vulnerable on the straights from the Mercs & Ferraris, so yeah can be an interesting race. I'm hoping it will be hot again as in FP1-3 so that the Mercs will have overheating issue so cannot use their full power, maybe even a blown engine from Ham? Yeah, Mercedes engine is notorious of failure and not reliable since Hakinnen era. Bottas already blew one during free practice. Another engine failure coming soon, hehe |

FIA shall rename to MIA lar... Mercedes International Alliance
Ocon was driving a Mercedes-powered PU, who knows if Mercedes controlled and make his car suddenly so powerful since this happened before? https://www.racefans.net/2017/11/09/how-a-s...nding-puncture/ While Hamilton on another hand limiting engine output to avoid failure. Are we watching driver-controlled F1 or engineer-controlled F1?  This post has been edited by voscar: Nov 12 2018, 02:12 PM |

What a boring race! thought Ricciardo would give Verstappen some hard time, but only managed to follow 2s gap...
Vettel got Fastest Lap on penultimate lap, why not drive faster earlier on to challenge Hamilton? Bottas 5th, pretty much sum-up his driving quality of this season... behind top drivers, maybe on-par of Kimi, but Kimi is better having won a race this season, haha. |

QUOTE(skylinelover @ Nov 26 2018, 01:26 PM) Dont think any unknown teams can challenge mercedes superiority even adrian newey best brain also cannot beat mercedes Honda VTEC-powered Red Bull next year may be? Who knows if Honda sorted out the huge power deficit and with Newey's best chassis and Verstappen's bravery overtaking, they may challenge the sole Hamilton-led Mercedes Team. Haha |

Almighty Ferrari dominated the 2 days testing. Next year Leclerc vs Vettel? Mercedes and Red Bull so far off pace almost 2 second behind.

Mercedes met setback on engine development:
https://www.planetf1.com/news/mercedes-suff...ne-development/ I think they have innovation bottleneck, no answer to beat Ferrari's PU |

QUOTE(RalphRatedR @ Dec 15 2018, 08:02 AM) Ferrari might need to hire psychologists for Vettel. He sometimes crumble under pressure. Being a racing driver isn't all quick & skill. Verstappen has spoken, he Vettel Alonso Ricciardo will be world champion if they are driving Mercedes. Now this is not a car problem, it's psychology belief trusting the brand ala driving a Mercedes will give you have best PU and team mindset. Used to be the case for Ferrari but no longer anymore...https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/140674/me...maintain-energy |

Ferrari at least 0.5s ahead of Mercedes! Now they have secret weapon on engine power, front wing, and rear lowered during high speed runs! Wow, what a revolution. |

Mercedes just responded, Hamilton on 3rd in morning session, running on softer C4 tyre, but not impressive enough..
Quote: "Ferrari on c3 was only 1 tenth slower than Mercedes on c4 faster tyre and surprisingly Renault were an equal for Mercedes in c4. " |

QUOTE(Aydee @ Feb 22 2019, 10:35 AM) The Toro Rosso Honda seems fast(and reliable), really a kick in the face for McLaren. Renault also pretty strong. And again, Sauber pace quick and consistent despite Kimi saying he is not pushing the car yet. Hopefully we get a lot of different winners this season. Hoping Mercedes to become backmarker this season like Williams 2018, hehe.This post has been edited by voscar: Feb 22 2019, 01:47 PM |
