which gets back to my point of how much easier it is for the drivers in todays F1 --

Yes agreed its easier, but the engineers arent making it childs play as you seem to make it. Its still incredibly difficult. Ur making it out like anyone could do it these days

no i am not saying that at all as the drivers have all come up thru the different formula"s so are very proficient at doing at -

it is just the nature of formula 1 now that the teams will give the drivers as much help as possible to obtain a better result on sunday afternoons and it would seem advising the driver on braking area"s and changing gear etc at the right time is all part of that help to help the driver achieve a better lap time --

----- personally i think it is a shame F1 has gone like that in recent yrs but that is how it is i am afraid --

Wow! Im astonished! Thats a much more balanced, non patronising, un-obnoxious post.

I agree!

Martial, do you have any evidence for Little Lewey's Engineer telling him where to brake in a race?

I know he normally tells him during practice where he is losing time and who is braking earlier, later. In the race it is normally hammer time, or updates about the field or brakes being cold, tyre temps etc which everyone gets.

I'm intrigued. Perhaps if you can show us some evidence of this we can make a case for Bonnington and Rocky to replace these clowns with the true geniuses

i only have the sky f1 coverage and hamiltons engineer is usually giving him some kind of tuition during the races about one thing or another ,brakes , gear changes and lord knows what i lose track of everything his engineer waffles on about ,

to be fair its not only hamilton , but the sky coverage does tend to focus on the merc drivers so we tend to hear alot of what the pits are saying to them -

to be honest from my recollection it has been creeping into f1 for the last couple of seasons and seems to be the norm every race now
------- it tends to make me think that some of the drivers need a degree of help which maybe is not the case --
