A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Sandbagging = deliberately appearing to be slower than they really are.

This is normally done to fool competitors. The phrase is meant to imply adding sandbags to the car to make it heavier & slower (though nobody would actually do that) ...

Being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, competing to win...

No sectors however progressive lap times: http://f1tests.co.cc/2012.php
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
