I hate the tyres... If a race boils down to two stints of pure tyre nursing then you can't even call it racing. Utter garbage.
See, as much as I appreciate them wanting to put more overtaking into the sport, it just feels a bit artificial to me. If guys all throughout history have been able to overtake without any aids like this then surely these guys are more than capable as well, seeing as they all got into the sport. Of course I'm generalizing here to make it easy - IMO some guys don't deserve to be there - but for me, the best guys out there will be able to pass the other guys around him regardless of what technology is in place.
After that race I'm feeling really quite arsed off with the sport. If the quickest way to get to the end is through looking after tyres and not through racing, they may as well just work it out on a peice of paper and save us all time and effort. Two shocking races in a row... It's laughable.
I thought a 13 point gap meant that there were 13 points between them? New system or old system, it's still 13 points.
Since the gap these days between first and second is 7 points where it used to be 2, two victories for Alonso with Vettel second would see him regain the lead, just as three years ago if Vettel had a 3 point lead the same would occur. (It's very basic maths, he's not gone through and re-calculated the championship)
The same triplet of people jump on the bandwagon when it is Schumacher related, you are inventing new and interesting ways of shunning Michael. Get a grip, Julius you are right. He pushed there was a question of ignoring blue flags, which turned out never to be true. The end. So annoying when people can just never get over their own issues.
I won't be able to do the C + P for Abu Dhabi, so if anyone can step in it would be good. I am just racked up with Uni work this week.
Of course not. But the point is that no-one goes to Court unless it is considered there may be a case to answer. Besides, I wasn't discussing guilt or innocence. You were suggesting Miggins was "inventing a problem" "just because" he doesn't like Schumacher. Clearly the problem cannot have been invented by Miggins when the stewards decided independently (unless he was one of today's race stewards) that there was sufficient evidence to warrant further investigation. My defence of Miggins is simply that he could not possibly have invented the problem; and that, at the very least, there was some real concern that he may have broken the rules.
Pretty tenuous way of looking at it, if Vettel wins the next two races he wins the championship regardless of where Alonso finishes, that wouldn't have been the case in 2009 if he had a four point lead. In my opinion it's either a 5.2 point gap in old money - because a win was 40% of what it is now, or 5.33 - because the gap it the equivalent of a 4th place, plus a third of the difference between a 3rd and 4th place finish.
Exactly. There was a question. Read my previous response to Julius and you'll see that I was saying nothing more than that it seemed a bit harsh to accuse another forum member to be "inventing problems". I think it best not to label people into groups so readily, EMSC.
I have been here for more than a year, enough time to see who immediately jumps in the same wagon with whom.
Nope, just a busy guy. Although there is a Goodbye Michael thread I will bring back around the Brazilian Gp.
