Moderator Tommy Posted April 17, 2018 Moderator Posted April 17, 2018 That's a really cool thing from Lewis. Still irritating that he tries to speak more like an American than a Brit. But I guess he's the people's Champion Quote
God is Haaland Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Some interesting pictures showing the differences of the cars between Bahrain and China: In order to get sufficient cooling for race at Bahrain almost all teams had to increase the size of hole at the rear, which has a negative effect on the aerodynamics(Coanda effect not as efficient). E Even Ferrari had open up the rear. And they even added two intakes: Only Mercedes were able keep the rear closed, despite having the strongest or 2nd strongest power unit. 1 Quote
nudge Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Yeah, I've read that they opened the upper side of the engine cover for a chimney-like cooling, but only used it in free training and as you said, had no extra cooling modifications during the race. It's fascinating to see all the engineering decisions and the differences in how teams solve certain issues, very interesting. Quote

On 15.4.2018 at 10:02, Stan said: YES PHIL. But it's significant because you can tell the quality of the drivers when you see Verstappen nearly causing 2 incidents and Ricciardo sailing clean through. Plus Hamilton should've pitted during the safety car. Not sure why they didn't and we may not be having this discussion if they did! Quote

So it's either a bad decision, or they are really into risk aversion this season, which I find hard to believe. Quote
God is Haaland Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 When Mercedes and Bottas made that undercut against Vettel last race Mercedes performed the fastest pit stop since 2016: 1.83s Quote

Moderator Tommy Posted April 28, 2018 Moderator Posted April 28, 2018 Ooooh that could have been nasty between Hartley and Gasly. Quote
nudge Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Kimi throwing the pole again, unbelievable... Insane first two sectors though. That incident between both Toro Rosso cars was soooo dangerous, very lucky they didn't crash. Could have been really nasty. Happy for Leclerc and Sauber for making it into Q2! Should be an interesting race tomorrow, probably a few crashes and safety cars, really unsure what's going to happen, haha. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted April 29, 2018 Administrator Posted April 29, 2018 Raikkonen and Ocon collide Quote
Administrator Stan Posted April 29, 2018 Administrator Posted April 29, 2018 Ocon should have given more space there I think... Quote
Administrator Stan Posted April 29, 2018 Administrator Posted April 29, 2018 Clever from Sainz capitalising on the 2 Red Bulls doing battle! Quote
God is Haaland Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Verstappen left the track! Incoming penalty very likely. Quote
God is Haaland Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Hulk is the best driver this season. Quote
