On the night from Friday to Saturday, burglars have stolen a large number of F1 trophies from Red Bull Racing. The break in caused significant damage as offenders drove a vehicle through the building's front entrance.

Telling him to keep a 2 second gap IS telling him to look after his tyres. 2 seconds is the standard gap to keep to stay out of the dirty air from the car infront which affects the car's handling, causing more tyre usage as well.Jef Patat wrote:I can agree to all this, but why didn't they tell him to look after tires, fuel, ...
They asked something with a 2s gap when, if I recall correctly, he was closer than 2s at that moment. At the time of viewing I understood don't come closer than 2s. Maybe I misunderstood the intention of the wording and they did intend to maintain a gap, as in not letting the gap grow bigger than 2s. In that case I stand corrected.
I thought it meant "don't come closer than 2s" too. That's the typical call we hear to prevent extra degradation (closer the aero is affected, therefore losing grip) or rising temps in the engine, etc...Jef Patat wrote:I can agree to all this, but why didn't they tell him to look after tires, fuel, ...

haha, just read the same story on the BBC, he's have a good old bleat isn't he, I guess he just frustrated after spending the last few years honing and refining the car to make it the class of the field only to have to start again. Nothing stands still though, Pay Symonds view is a little more sensible.
Newey also had some interesting comments about the relative performance of 2014 power units: “I think when we talk about the power unit we talk about it by manufacturer. We should also include the fuel company of course. I think you’ll find within an engine, depending on what fuel it uses there can be very significant differences. That can also create differences.
“We certainly can see that in our own GPS analysis between our rivals that some appear to have significantly more power than others, even though they have the same engine.
What problems are there to fix? Newey's car has no problems. He's done his job, the car is class of the field in aero department. The problem is with the renault, which he has little influence on.twoshots wrote:Oh, sucks to not be 1 second faster than everyone else. Man up and fix the problems Mr Newey, with the biggest budget in F1 there are no excuses.
The problem is with the integration of the Renault Power train within the RB10 and Renault's failure to developJuzh wrote:What problems are there to fix? Newey's car has no problems.

the power train to the standard required to compete with Mercedes. Who've designed their 2014 car and power train together, to get the best balance between Power Train Performance and the Aero side. Red Bull were caught napping on all fronts, it's time they stopped whining about fuel flow rates and the power trains, and got on with sorting out the various problems with the RB10 and help Renault to fix the problems with the power train. They are once again trying to get the rules changed to suit them through a PR campaign that also has the benefit of disguising their failures for 2014, this time I doubt the FIA is going to budge on the issue. Disparaging the sport because you are not winning is going to damage it and that will likely raise the FIA's ire over it's golden goose being attacked.
Not sure what you are grasping at cause during the last 6 weeks Red Bull improved their car most of all teams.taperoo2k wrote:The problem is with the integration of the Renault Power train within the RB10 and Renault's failure to developJuzh wrote:What problems are there to fix?
