Redbull Is a better team because Vettel & Webber keep on winning the races & the cars have more powerful engines .I say Mclaren have to push a bit hard because mclaren are not doing very well.

How on earth can you say that? Its widely acknowledged that the Mercedes engine is the best in the field.

The car is overall faster but its all down to their chassis.

Don't know how you can say the Renault engine is more powerful than the Merc. Especially when Renault themselves, along with Adrian Newey are asking for a lift on the engine development freeze for Renault only so they can increase the power output to match the Ferrari and Merc.

Car Advantages:-
===============
The RB6's advantage comes from its aerodynamic grip.

McLaren have straight-line speed (F-Duct)

Ferrari has a slight edge in mechanical grip and braking.

Engine Advantages:-
=================
Renault - economy

Merc - power

Ferrari - fuel energy conversion (when Ferrari run on lower engine settings, their power doesn't drop off as much as Merc or Renault)

Are you asking who we support or who the better team(car as well) is or who has better drivers?

Because RedBull has the best team but i think they are almost tied with drivers. Though i think McLaren has an edge.

What kind of edge do they have?

I had that question in my head as well !

Well i was referring to their drivers having an edge over the RedBull drivers but im guessing you knew that so just clearing it up.

I say it because McLaren have 2 WDC drivers which means they are not as likely to make stupid mistakes while chasing after the championship, for example, crash into their own teammate or putting their car in the wall in desperation.

Though Hamilton hasnt been supporting this theory of mine very well having DNFd in Monza and Singapore.

Red Bull for me in pure performance but they have had very bad technical reliability and ability to win from pole due to bad starts and what not. To be honest though, both of the championships are theirs to lose. Obviously the engine count will play a big factor in the coming races, drivers mentality and lots of other factors.


If Korea really is McLaren's track then they should really go for it. I'm sure Lewis and Jenson will be because they know that 4th and 5th places, not even 3rd or 2nd places are good enough anymore. It also depends if Mclaren's new front and rear wings will perform as well because their upgrades haven't performed as they have hoped this year with sometimes 2 races to actually benefit.

I just cannot believe McLaren have not won the constructors title in 12 years and have only been 2nd or 3rd at best.

Probaly would have won the constructors in 2007 except for spygate...but lewis and jenson need to hold nothing back now go for it lads!!

Jenson's not making mistakes, but I'd say he's being over cautious, he should've had Lewis in Singapore at the start and Alonso In Suzuka.

I'll give Jenson his due in Susuka, for me, he completely had Alonso at the start, and completed the pass - well, he had all his car ahead of Fernando's F10 by the first turn! Fernando responded with an equally good move to get it back by by the next turn.

Just a few days before it's looking fairly rough; will the track break up and cause the race to be abandoned?

I seem to have read alot that there will be overtaking opportunities, hopefully thats true.

Wonder if that cool orange Hyundai forklift currently holds the track record?

Got to agree with that one

I also agree as a Jenson Button fan; maybe Jenson has read the Tortoise and the Hare book too many times, unfortunately Jenson that doesn't work in the real world!

When Racechick agrees with you it means you have accidentally complimented lewis.
