Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted June 11, 2018 Share I quite enjoyed the race.Yes the cars this year are terrible in that they are really not condusive to overtaking but I can still appreciate a performance like Vettels.Hamilton really out of sorts though.......

Odinson Posted June 11, 2018 Share Ditto. I used to love F1 a couple of years ago, but recently it's turned into a goddam snoozefest. It's just so difficult to get excited for a race. There's hardly ever any action at the front of the field, just the midpack drivers rallying for some points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted June 11, 2018 Share Maybe the should make the hypersoft the hardest compound. Running ultrasoft for more than 50 laps makes the whole tyre compound a farce. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to have bigger performance differences between the tyres. 50 laps isn't the problem, as the pace is slow, but then the softer option should be at least 2secs a lap quicker and last say 20 or 30 laps.The strategies are just too "safe".

Iwan Kemp Posted June 19, 2018 Share This might end up in tears Let's see. Will be interesting to see what happens with their Aston deal. Also with Aston threatening to enter the game in 2021 there could be another change. I hope it works out for them - I'd love to see Ric a WDC and it's great having 3 teams fighting for wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. And the compounds should almost guarantee two stops. 1 Stopping leaves little room for killer alternative strategy. Not enough variation. May as well give them all one compound to run that will last half a race distance. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted June 22, 2018 Share I've just watched my first few laps of FP2. I'm glad the drivers know which way to go. Those aerial views are very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well give them all one compound to run that will last half a race distance.Pirelli have stated how it's actually really difficult to make a tyre that F1 wants, it's apparently a lot easier to make a tyre last longer.. One of the better suggestions I've hear lately is to rather have large gaps in compounds, so instead of the selected weekend compounds being HS/US/SS, it should rather be HS/SS/M. Could be a simple solution really.. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2 stop races should be common place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted June 25, 2018 Share The start of the GP reminded me of the Monty Python skit "100m dash for people with no sense of direction"They were all over the place -Az-, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Patchelicious 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
