@um1234 I believe that China last year was the best possible use of DRS. I remember there still being a question of ‘will he, won’t he?’ as the drivers approached the hair-pin leading to the final […]

@um1234 The last two races in Monza have been one-stoppers, so I very much doubt that this will have such increased tyre wear that it will require more, especially on medium and hards.

@um1234 +1! I think the fact qualifying is part of the weekend is often overlooked when people vote – for driver of the race he’d be a sure candidate, but he didn’t do well enough in qualifying.

@um1234 If his car doesn’t comply with the regulations there won’t be a grid penalty, he’ll be excluded from qualifying.

@um1234 Yes. I’m just saying he can’t get a grid penalty – he either keeps 3rd or is disqualified from the results, nothing in between.
