So here is the performance chart of race pace in Canada constructed using the curve fits from the intelligentF1 model. I have put the drivers and cars in number order – as it’s most helpful for team mate comparisons. The quoted pace is underlying laptime pace relative to the fastest pace (Alonso on the hard […]
It seems that the response to the Canadian Grand Prix has been very positive. Proper racing, unlike the tyre management of Barcelona and the Monaco cruise. To some extent I agree – Monaco was dull (except for Sergio) and Barcelona was too confusing. But I don’t think that the cars should simply be ‘flat out […]
Yes, I do still exist. It’s been a very busy couple of weeks, and the Monaco race was so follow-my-leader that there really was nothing interesting to say. Had I time on my hands I would probably have written something, but it would have been fairly dull. So let’s move on to Canada, which is […]

So here is the performance chart of race pace in Spain constructed using the curve fits from the intelligentF1 model. I have put the drivers and cars in number order – as it’s most helpful for team mate comparisons. The quoted pace is underlying laptime pace relative to the fastest pace (Alonso on the hard […]
A caveat. I have no quotes from team personnel, or Pirelli; I have had no conversations with F1 engineers; I have no vested interests. This is just a train of thought which gives a different perspective on the tyre issues of 2013. It might be completely wrong. But on the other hand… The 2013 tyres […]
Pick the bones out of that one! I realise that this probably doesn’t translate to those of you who don’t have English as a first language, but there was a crazy amount of stuff going on in the Spanish Grand Prix which could keep me busy for a very long time… There’s inconsistencies in pace, […]
