Keith's missive was correct, however, not everything is aerodynamically obvious. For example the Hawker Hunter T7 came in single seat and two seat (side by side) versions. The aircraft were identical apart from the cockpit & canopy, despite the 2 seater having significantly more frontal area it was ...

Has Ricciardo got l̶o̶n̶g̶ slow Covid? Mclaren's corner apex speeds still comparable with Red Bull, they're just much slower on the straights.

Chapeau to Zhou, first GP, 0.15s down on Bottas, top 10 on merit OK, the 2022 Ferrari engine is clearly 'special' occupying half of the top 10, but he made zero mistakes, didn't get in anybodys way, exceeded my expectations. If he repeats that peformance in qualifying "they'll be dancing in streets ...

And Mercedes & Hamilton demonstrate that you can never believe a single word they say during testing...

Miraculously, with 20 mins left before qualifying, Hamilton is 0.08s off Verstappen before Russell beats them both

Quelle surprise!!!

Hamilton's speed deficit to the other Merc engined cars was due to his DRS not functioning in FP2, he lost at least 15kph of top speed. All the Merc powered cars were running conservative engine modes, Mclaren's corner apex speeds were comparable to Red Bull. I wouldn't write them off until after qu...

Meanwhile, some pundits are suggesting that Haas are a lot more competitive than generally acknowledged and that having an at least half way competent driver (Magnussen) in the car might represent a dark horse. Low fuel, cool track conditions, engined turned up or not Mick Schumacher's 1m32.241s was...

I believe that Masi misjudged the authority given to him as race director under the regulations and that the stewards made the mistake of supporting that judgement. The correct solution would have been for the FIA to have voided the race, a result that would have left Verstappen as champion, somethi...

On porpoising, the answer is very likely simple to describe, perhaps difficult to achieve, move the centre of pressure of the venturi. Observation indicates that the venturi floor is NOT contacting the ground thus there is no sudden venturi stall. Downforce produced by the venturi and wings generate...

He's referring the Planet Rugby web site home page

Without confirmation from Jake I can't be sure BUT the stated reason "improving the Planet Rugby home page" ranking would be achieved by just removing the link.

Forcing a log in would not fix the ranking issue, therefore there's no need to prevent browsing the forum without a log in

So how come there's 178 guests online ?? Comrade Dozy. yeah but I thought Jake was saying that the forum can only be read if you're logged in ? or maybe I misunderstood ?

Don't discount Alpine, DRS was never enabled (0.7-1.0s per lap) and their fastest time was set on well used C3s. They say they were running high fuel too but who would believe the French?

At 1m19.5s Norris's fastest lap was a little over 3s off the pace of last season's Barcelona pole lap. Given the temperatures, tyres, 1st day of testing, etc. that's very encouraging, I doubt these cars will be much slower than those of 2021 by the end of the Bahrain test let alone by the actual rac...
