I trying to get use to you and that avatar pic.

So by this calculation (and it is an imprecise calculation based upon a set of assumptions).....Haas is the second fastest car in the field. Does anyone actually believe this? If not....then must we conclude that the rest of the calculation is incorrect?

Add to this...
What do we make of this? Has Newey pushed the limits too far, once again, seems so based on this report. Tight packaging... Aggressive shape. They sound so assuring in fixing the problems. Drivers more muted
Honda to revise packaging - Pitpass.com
Yes he certainly did. He and Craig Pollock set the team up together more or less.

as you said the calculation is based on a set of assumptions, if one of the assumptions proves incorrect then the calculation turns out to be incorrect. IMHO no one showed their real potential, their simulators are so advanced that they can use the simulators to find out how quick they are and they use the track time just to test some parts (I would assume everything that is affected by temperature, friction, and a few other things)
Why is FiA doing this? It seems like as soon as a season starts, FiA begins (again) to "correct" grey areas, which basically is nothing more then resolving deficiencies of their own, work. Why now, instead end of last year? How does this late pre-race meddling will affect individual teams,

i highly doubt they would be 2nd best car. but who knows & i thought as he had a amendment i post it too
Your credentials Publius actually suggest I should listen to you, although I am surprised (bold) reading this. I've always thought that data acquisition at the track has been used for correlation with data collected on dyno and elsewhere. How else you discover errors in the system?
I would have thought that a cold circuit is ok for testing the durability of various part of the car, including the driver to an extent, but the finer detail of exactly who is faster than who on a hotter circuit is another matter. We can assume some of this but to say who has the second fastest car etc is pure guesswork at this stage.
I am actually not certain who has best car. I don't believe in fixation with "fastest" car. Vettel often won a race, yet he was down in 5th place in speed trap. I think being stable in turns when a driver steps on it at the exit is far more important. In era when cars are fraction of a second apart, processing circuit in turns can give a driver gain or loss over others. Sure, you want agile car, but being fastest (in speed trap)? How that translates into wining races?

Things like corner speed and grip whilst accelerating are usually more important than outright speed.
That's what I thought as well. Mr. Horner once voiced his opinion that Vettel won his races with RBR based on his efficiency in processing turns.Oh OK, you mentioned speed of a car, and I thought you were talking about speed as in speed trap, whereas I usually think about different attributes.

Just saw this..
I've forgotten how intense driving a f1 car really is, with all dem buttons. So many things to remember and take care off, including fiddling with buttons, adjusting brake balance etc. He even let go of the steering wheel to feel the car...
I'll have headaches after a few laps...

Under normal conditions pilots of A380 have less to do than Kimi had on that one lap. Car is constantly vibrating, and it is wonderful how with his thick gloves he can find those small knobs on his control panel.
