You pointing towards the 2005-2006 season? :)
Click to expand...
well yeah in a way you can say so....look at that....Schumi was dominating with ferrari and then renault stepped in ....then after 2 years it was Ferrari Vs McLaren again.....then after 2 years it was Brawn then REDbull era and now this year again it looks like McLaren has the best car and ferrari will challange them....Its a pattern :p

2001 Schumacher (Ferrari)
2002 Schumacher (Ferrari)
2003 Schumacher (Ferrari)
2004 Schumacher (Ferrari)
2005 Alonso (Renault)
2006 Alonso (Renault)
2007 Kimi (Ferrari)
2008 Hamilton (McLaren)
2009 Button (Brawn)
2010 Vettel (RBR)
2011 Vettel (RBR)

If you look at that you can see that Ferrari was dominating and then a lower level team stepped up and won the title twice....and the it was Ferrari and McLaren for the 2007-2008 seasons and then Brawn came in with his Blown diffusers and what not :p and brawn won it the next year....then 2 years were dominated by RBR ...now if we look at this season we can see that Ferrari has the race pace and the right strategy but they need to work on their qualifying sessions....McLaren is a force but their car lacks a bit of race pace....if you see Ferrari is really good when it is racing but not good in qualifying...The KERS seem to have problems in qualifying and the first qualifying session was unlucky for Ferrari...
The first race...Alonso jumped many positions ...
In the second race he jumped 8 positions that shows that they have really good race pace and a great pit strategy....
Mercedes has 2 great drivers but they cannot perform if their race pace sucks and quite frankly their pit strategy is SHIT....
Red bull isn't the force it used to be...Vettel....I can see him joining Ferrari if Massa is sacked :)

Well I didn't watch the race yesterday as I was gone to a friend's place. Watched a re-run of it today.

Like you both have said, this season Mercedes made a car that does well in qualifying, but they compromised on their race pace. You can't entirely have it both ways.

Coming to Ferrari. Take out the win yesterday, and you will see that this season they have not been upto par. I respect Alonso, one of the best drivers and a fantastic drive yesterday. But yesterday they had luck on their side, otherwise Alonso couldn't have finished on the podium I think.

McLaren also very unlucky.

RBR also not a force of the last 2 years, which I think is great for us. More race-winners = more entertainment for us :p

And @StrikerX you stole the thread with your 'hazardous racing turds' comment :p Surprised Narainhe didn't get a penalty yesterday :p

He was given a drive through penalty but the race was over so they added time in the final standings. He was running second last before the race finished and in the final classifications he was classified last (22) instead of second last (21).

Yaar you cannot write ferrari off like that....i agree their car under performs in Qualifying but they have tremendous race pace....in the first race you can see alonso jump places and fight for his position non stop....the next race will tell us what these cars are capable of....many twists and turns in the track and then a LONG ASS straight run...:) SHANGHAI :D
Btw did anyone notice yesterday that McLarens DRS worked perfectly and so did Ferrari's...Alonso and Hamilton timed the DRS's to perfection :)

Nhn yaar faida nhn hai ... Sirf kuch hi log ayenge dekhne :p

Most of my friends are not interested in F1. They simply don't understand it. They are like 'bus betho aur cars ko 2 ghantey tak dekhte jao'. It's much more than that! :crying:

What I find most interesting aspect is all the science behind it.

Ferrari F2012 - gearbox-chassis stiffening arm 26 March 2012


Following Fernando Alonso's advice, Ferrari have introduced to the F2012 a concept used by their driver's former team, Renault, as long ago as 2001. Designed to make the rear end of the car stiffer, an arm (red arrow) has been added connecting the gearbox and chassis. Note also the oil radiator mounted on top of the gearbox and cooled by the second small inlet in the engine cover (blue arrow).

^ I'm not much of a technical analyst so ... :p

Anyway, I think this won't make a difference in the performance of the car. What it might be useful for is that Alonso may want the rear of the car to be tighter in the corners.

Well they did so but I really don't believe that drivers give these practices all they've got :)

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
