I'm expecting a 1.22 Renault. 🙏 🙏
Since when have we actually seen someone like Piquet pull this off? Maybe once in a blue moon. 🙏
Alright, enough with the bullshit...
I don't know, it looked to me like the gaps in Q2 at the Australian GP were only about eight-tenths between first and twelfth... and that was Alonso. Honestly, if he hadn't messed up that last flying lap, he probably could've shaved off another tenth.
Look, Renault was fighting two massive uphill battles here—just like McM and Ferrari. They were missing that double diffuser, plus their KERS was basically just a nuisance during qualifying.
BMW was way faster without the KERS. I mean, it’s only about 30 to 40 kg, but you barely even get to use it—just six seconds. Total waste.
It looks like they’re finally going to make a call on whether KERS is actually worth the trouble during the race in Kuala Lumpur.
I’m expecting a ton of technical tinkering over the next few races from Ferrari, Renault, McM, and even BMW. Expect some serious engineering gymnastics.
Good to see you're back.😁
We didn't get to see if that BMW had any actual KERS advantage or not. Heidfeld went flying off at Turn 1, probably trashed his car, and who knows if his KERS was even working right to begin with. Alonso also ended up in the gravel, so we have zero clue what the real pace looks like for him or the Renault. 😉
Here's another fun fact: Rubens says Kovalainen actually ripped that controversial diffuser right off his car during a collision at the rear.😲 Even with a broken front wing, that BGP was still flying. If this is actually true, they’ve absolutely nailed the car's setup. 😲😲
