That was an excellent article by Anderson and perfectly demonstrates why the drivers should wait to be called into the pits rather than decide for themselves.

Not trying to be a dick... but couldn't this be considered as spam? I mean... the only purpose of posting that post is trying to get people to click on it.. only to find out that I need to submit?

You are not saying anything or quoting someone..

So what are you trying to achieve?

Autosport only allow 10 views of their stories a month for free, if you register you get 25 extra views or you can pay for full access, that is how I believe it works,

yeah, but still I liked him swearing and screaming.

All great drivers do it.

maybe not MSC (his biggest showing of negative emotions was with DC at Spa)
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Another reason to admire him, If you are that good do your work. I cant respect a driver who cries to the radio because he cant overtake his teanmate.

No respect then for Rosberg, Hamilton, Vettel, Alonso etc? They all do it. They all get annoyed when things don't go their way.

Well, a little bit less perhaps, I dont want to sound too harsh. But I truly dont like when a driver complains because he cant overtake another driver or his teanmate. Just do it and if you cant ask for a strategy change but do not sound like a child, this is what annoys me.

Mercedes' data shows Toro Rosso has least powerful engine in F1
Toro Rosso's year-old power unit is the least powerful engine on the grid, according to Mercedes' data.

"You may not know this, but the engine with the least power on the grid is actually the Ferrari in the Toro Rosso," Mercedes technical boss Paddy Lowe told ESPN. "The Renault and the Honda are not so far behind the Ferrari Mercedes, so there is not a lot of difference now between the power units."

In qualifying TR had better start/finish line and top speed traps than all renault powered cars. Another smoke and mirrors comment from Lowe, as we've become used to.
