So Nico out qualifies Lewis more often than not this season but Lewis is faster in the race. Because of the tyre make up, most cars have to do most of the race on the primes (usually two stints to the softs one) with around 70% or more of most races on the harder tyre. With this I wonder whether...

Yeah my Gran Turismo tight cornering technique is to use the wall to decelerate from 200 mph to 0 mph in about 4 metres and then accelerate again (On street circuits). Even better if a car is ahead trying to corner properly, meaning I could use it as a moving wall to decelerate, with the added...

I had written something on the subject of driving and cycling for the other cycling thread, which would have been enlightening for some readers as instead of anecdotes it contain articles and research blah blah blah. Then I was busy and didn't post. I think instead of stoking the fires again...

Also, manic tour for crashes... Nibali's to lose now...

Cycling with a beard does not affect aerodynamics... http://road.cc/content/news/119553-video-beard-or-not-beard A ZZ top style beard, however, may require further investigation ;)

Wow what a race! Canada usually serves up something unusual and is one of my favourites (Spa being another). And great victory for Riccardo! Was patient, waited for the right opportunity to overtake Seb, Sergio and Nico at the end and won. Seb has been looking stronger and stronger in recent...

I don't usually get involved with politics on here as it has gotten "heated" in the past, but this seems like a good discussion at present. UKIP did more than just nick some protest votes, they united most of the right wing parties into voting for them. As demonstrated by this graph...

In addition to my mumblings above, for some this is common knowledge but others may make their online lives a little bit easier. Adblock plus (I sigh when people tell me about adverts on youtube etc) block adverts effectively: https://adblockplus.org/en/chrome and Ghostery (which I only heard...

You can partition your laptop for duel booting so you can have both linux and windows on it, if you still want the home comforts of windows but the flexibility and power of linux. I'd vouch for linux as being the safest OS around and my next laptop will be linux (currently got a 3 year old Mac...

Hi Mr B. Unfortunately I was travelling back from Germany this weekend so couldn't gauge the reaction to qualifying or the race. Plus my German is rubbish so I wouldn't do any analysis of the reactions any justice. Sorry I couldn't be more informative. Perhaps someone else can give some insight?

Well I got round to watching the race later because I was in Germany relaxing this week, but the fireworks have been lit... but there will be bigger explosions to come! I thought Nico would win this one, and I think he played the entire weekend perfectly. I do think he made the 'mistake'...

This is an article from the BBC, and whilst its talking about Lewis being great blah blah, an interesting point is made at the bottom. Mind games. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/27431133 There have been a number of instances where Lewis has been trying to play mind games with Nico so...

This is something I can never get my head around! If Hart gets injured or sent off, the other 2 goalkeepers have a combined total of 7 caps between them! Hardly fills everyone with confidence. I don't understand playing Hart for the friendlies, give the other goalkeepers some experience!

Good post Cosicave. I do always look out for your posts. Whilst mostly just observe I do occasionally throw my 2-pence worth into the mix and this post is about Mercedes. It's clear that certain people have their favourites and some are still able to be objective whilst others are completely...

It doesn't help that every article on Norwich in the main media either refers to Alan Partridge or Delia... Because there is nothing else in Norwich apparently... But this idea that we're this little club who should know its place has been going on for years. Remember the comments from some...
