I think I uderstand just fine. They're moaning because they aren't able to win because they made a car to be the fastest over one lap and forgot there is no points for pole.
yea... you really don´t understand.I think I uderstand just fine. They're moaning because they aren't able to win because they made a car to be the fastest over one lap and forgot there is no points for pole.
I'm sorry Hampus but where did I say they scrapped sunday? I thought I said that they just failed to design the car according to this years design specification.yea... you really don´t understand.
I especially love the part where they (according to you) scrapped Sundays and said "well F it, let´s design a car to be good on Saturday´s instead, then complain about it after"....
but i can tell you i´m not surprised by that logic applied (or lack of) judging by previous posts.
My eyes must be faulty then.I'm sorry Hampus but where did I say they scrapped sunday? I thought I said that they just failed to design the car according to this years design specification.
"they made a car to be the fastest over one lap and forgot there is no points for pole."
it´s not what i think it´s what you write yourself that you somehow forgets by the next post.Do you really think that I actually think they forgot about race distance? They didn't forget they just didn't do the best job designing the car to be fast over a full race on the tyres they knew they were going to have.
Suck it, whinersPirelli's planned mid-season Formula 1 tyre tweaks are set to be much smaller than originally anticipated after the FIA ruled that changes will only be allowed on safety grounds. [...]
But regardless of what led Pirelli to want to change, the change would favor Red Bull?
A change to a tougher tire would probably help Red Bull, yes, particularly a tougher front tire. According to Pirelli itself – which sees the data from all the cars – the Red Bull RB9 has so much more fast-corner downforce than the others, it would be dominating every race if the tires didn't apply a certain equalizing factor. A more robust tire would allow more of the Red Bull's potential to be accessed.
So how does a tire do that? How can a tire prevent the fastest car being the fastest when they are on all the same tire?
By having a tire that cannot support the forces generated by the fastest car. The Pirelli tires are unusual in that, beyond a certain point, the faster you go, the faster you destroy the tire and this has been apparent at the more demanding fast-corner tracks ever since Pirelli first came in as the F1 control tire supplier in 2011. Teams with the fastest cars have often had to take downforce off them – actually making them slower – in order to find the optimum trade-off between outright speed and the stint lengths necessary for the best stop strategies. It has had the effect of bringing the very fastest car back down to the level of being merely competitive, applying a certain artificial leveling.
If it only was that simple..The engineers are tasked with building the car that performs best under the given conditions, which obviously includes the tyres. Ferrari and Lotus did a better job at that, it's that simple.
