Paul Barrass commented on the post, Whitmarsh: “One of the hardest days” for...

:-) Excellent. I love a Byrne fan. I think he doesn't get the recognition he deserves generally. Everyone knows Newey, and Brawn, and even Sam Michael's name is probably more well known amongst F1...

LoL. Or perhaps just bring a pile of metal and carbon fibre and wiring. Whitmarsh: "This pile of metal and carbon fibre may not be as quick as last year's car, but it is something we can improve for...

@nickfrog, you never know. The joke at the time was that if Mansell's moustache somehow made him a half a second quicker, than his two eye moustaches must make him a full second quicker overall........

Lot's of interesting comments, and I admit here to being a massive Lewis fan, and not much of a Button lover, but there does seem to be a leaning toward saying Hamilton is such a big loss relevant to...

Paul Barrass commented on the post, Australian GP qualifying postponed to Sunday

American football, Rugby, baseball and perhaps cricket are all more inherently dangerous than current F1 racing. On what basis do you make this assumption? I agree that all of those sports offer more...

Paul Barrass commented on the post, Australian GP qualifying postponed to Sunday

Why not split the season into four phases. Europe | Asia | Europe | Americas This would give multiple advantages. Firstly, European testing would be more directly relevant for the start of season...

Paul Barrass commented on the post, Vettel and Webber lock out front row in...

I don't know if I should be massively impressed by the lap, or or concerned for the rest of the season (with respects to a walkover by Seb). The only silver lining for non-Seb fans, and for impartial...

Paul Barrass commented on the post, Vettel and Webber lock out front row in...

I don't know what to think about this. I think it's very, very odd that he's back in F1 at all when you consider who was involved and how it panned out.

Paul Barrass commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix

I've awarded this race an 8, because of the team orders, and the absolute polarisation it has shown. The juxtaposition of the RBR and Merc' orders, with one being followed and one not is exactly the...

Paul Barrass commented on the post, Rate the race: 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix

Actually, I'm going to re-iterate one of my former points for people talking about team orders. What get's me is that in this race, they seem intrinsically linked to tyre performance (With mercedes,...

In all honesty, who would expect him to? I was surprised to see him there this year....

Paul Barrass commented on the post, Sepang conditions masked Lotus pace –...

RE: Comment of the day, and some people saying the team is more than just Newey. I agree completely, that it is a team effort, but Newey is the differing factor. He is also no longer, if he ever was,...

@bernard That's exactly the points I was making, but kudos on the quotes. I can never be bothered to go and track them down. :-) It's one of the best posts I've ever read. many thanks.

@bendana I've just burst out laughing at this in work.

I think Christian Horner (and Martin Whitmarsh also) are the worst team principals I've ever known in some ways. I can only assume that they have a very appeasing public face, whereas behind closed...

Paul Barrass commented on the post, FIA wades into tyre row with safety ruling

Maldonado won't be bringing in money for long methinks, as that was almost certainly a presidential order, and there is no guarantee that will be renewed.

Paul Barrass commented on the post, FIA wades into tyre row with safety ruling

I had to wade in, as I am sick of all of these allegorical comparisons with football, where people are saying you can't change the goal size, or the size of the pitch, etc. but find them all to be...

Paul Barrass commented on the post, Newey crashes on formation lap in...

He's done this many times now. He totalled a classic GT40 a few years back, which is equally amusing and sad :-( Now having said that, I have heard he is pretty quick, but when he hasn't been out for...
