Good to see Rosberg on top of the points standings.

[Chode]

28pts with a long way to go, but Mercedes could have it sewed up in a couple more races if they can keep the pace

[henkster]

This is the type of early season team dominance that Brawn had in Button’s championship season. That year the top teams eventually figured out the formula and caught up with them on the track but Button had too big a lead in the points.

This year, there were so many changes I’m not sure anyone can get the whole package figured out the way Mercedes has.

[arbitrary.squid]

Why is that a problem in a six and not an eight?

I have a 1997 Infiniti I30 with a really strong V6. Never noticed any vibration problem whatsoever.

[arbitrary.squid]

That was one hell of a race.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

The firing order for a V8 has 90 degrees of rotation between the firing of a cylinder. A V6 cannot.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Not knocking the power output, but a V6 has a longer spacing between each firing also. Stands to reason.

Funny, years ago Buick had a V6 that was simply a small block V8 with 2 cylinders chopped off but using the V8 crank. I had one. Talk about noticing the difference. A Big hole in the firing order, and rough as a corn cob but very good torque.
