Still have to give driver a lot of credit , if you put vettle in Hamilton’s car I’m sure he won’t go as fast just saying, a fast car is fast because of fast driver. Look at autocross people show up with 100 k car and cones in close to last jv

It's not Mercedes fault they are winning. It's the other teams fault they are losing. Ferrari get all the breaks in F1 and they still are losing. Racing is always about money....hell all sports are about money. I raced karts when I was young and that was all about money.

Let’s look at the first and last place teams. How is it normal that Mercedes has a budget of approx. $400 million and Williams has $135 million?
Would capping spending at $200 million for example, really kill innovation in F1? I seriously doubt it. I know that it would make for a more interesting racing series for everyone. Actually I think that teams would be forced to innovate even more by striving to find ways to make a better car within a certain budget.

Absolutely it would. To a degree of arguable amounts. Because if it doesn't limit innovation, then there is no reason to have a cap.

Not trying to argue; you're probably right on several points. I'm just one opinion that feels it's not worth the risk

Because EU.
They can meet 200M if they hire Chinese and Indian engineers.

Renault's POV regarding $$$ and partnerships forged by B teams.

There is enough spec racing out there and F1 is the closet to run what you brung!!! Racing has always been about the rich from the beginning and it was just that...if you want to beat me spend more and do more.

This is True. The best example is Indycar. It will never be like it was when it was CART. Even though it has gotten better. So we need to be careful of what we wish for.

Technical Analysis: Why Ferrari could not solve the problem in Melbourne

ayrton88 · 03-21-2019, 09:42 AM

I see that Verstappen and a couple other drivers say that overtaking is just as hard as ever. The new wings, etc. which were supposed to help so far have not. Maybe that was his excuse for not getting by Lewis.

The dark side of F1. Unfortunately the repression in many host countries will continue. Is it an F1 issue or not?

Saw that report, too. My opinion (I like Max lol) is if Max isn't crashing into into the driver or passing him, he didn't try

Maybe in a few years this would be a valid explanation explanation...

Yesterday's Race was a good one. With it only being the second race of the year, I will hold off on judgment with Ferrari for now. However I do think the other teams may have something to worry about!!

axmea? · 04-13-2019, 03:03 PM

Red Bull caught snoozing in the final seconds of Q3. They should have told MV to get his a55 going.

Ferrari has 2 good drivers, but the team chooses to screw things up
