hrd-hr30 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If anything, the less power you have, the more you'd want to optimise every ounce of corner speed you could! The real reason the Red Bull chassis and aero isn't as good as years ago is the technical staff they've lost. Or maybe they've never been any good at making downforce without drag...

wolverine Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 but you read between the lines that the engine is on par or close to par with the Merc engine... and go on the blame the engine for the chassis problems as well! lol Are you reading between the lines?.....I asked if anyone in the paddock thinks the engines are on par or near par. you think RBR developed their car over the winter with massive compromises Now you are telling me what I think...reading between the lines again. This is fun but pretty pointless. I am happy to agree with you 100% from here on because...because...I don't why but I just will.

Roy Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 By "Renaults numbers" I am assumning the data they have to compare between the STR and RBR chassis. So I preseume they make the pretty safe leap that both are light years from Mercedes. But, James Key is one clever fella...he almost got Force India a victory at Spa and FI were a pretty competitive team...and we saw what his car in the hands of Perez did at Sauber before joining STR. So STR could easily be a quality car, so being marginal behind RBR need not be a huge indictment of RBR. Sepang will be a good test...Lotus to score big points this weekend!

hrd-hr30 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Are you reading between the lines?.....I asked if anyone in the paddock thinks the engines are on par or near par. Why would you ask that in response to Renault's comments? The only logical conclusion is you thought Renault (like FIFA in your analogy) were trying to clear themselves of any blame - that's not reading between the lines. It's what you actually said. Which would be suggesting (as you went on the ask) that their engines were not the problem, would it not? No, I'm pretty sure I was not reading between the lines there. But the obvious answer is no. Not even Renault thnk their engine is on or near par with Mercedes. They said that in the articles you were responding to! Why did you ask that? Now you are telling me what I think...reading between the lines again. I guess three question marks wasn't enough to make it clear I was asking in disbelief (rather than telling)... But you did say "RBR's compromises to accommodate an engine down on power" so I don't think you can really accuse me of reading between the lines again when I said 'you think RBR developed their car over the winter with massive compromises"!

Anfanee Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I realize this has probably been covered somewhere. Is there a way of streaming the races live. I hate the idea of pay tv. Actually this, im moving house soon and won't have foxtel..... anyone know? i know i could Download the entire thing after the race, but live is special..

hrd-hr30 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I hate the idea of pay TV too. Thankfully this race is on at a reasonable hour and the local pub has enough screens to show both the cricket final and F1 race live on FOX. I guess I'll just have to have a steak and a few beers this weekend! hehe sounds better than streaming to me!

hrd-hr30 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Does anyone in the paddock think Maldonardo is as good as Hamilton? Don't get me wrong, i'm not suggesting he is. I'm not suggesting anyone else said he is either. Not even between the lines. I'm just asking a completely random, meaningless question for absolutely no reason. It certainly doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about here either, so don't ask me wtf I'm on about - that would just make it obvious to everyone that your mind is far too closed and your perspective far too limited from your all or nothing view of the world to ever possibly understand the deep, complicated nature of the question.

89CAL Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Kimi only 0.2sec off Rosbergs time. Not that you can read too much into FP1, but its encouraging to think we might have more than a 2 horse race at some point this season. Poor Dan.

Might be a case of right place, wrong time Track evolution in Malaysia is pretty big apparently. So don't read too much into early runs. The only right place is MB. Or maybe Ferrari if your career is over and you want to pick up a big cheque. Funny how much people are talking about driveability. Wonder how much the off track programming and timing of the harvesting etc is affecting lap times. Hate to think the outcome of a race would be influenced unduly by engine mapping based on circuit modelling done on the other side of the world. Then again its F1 so why should that be any different.
