On the right hand side, the y-axis demonstrates the average percentage behind Mercedes’ pole time that each team has qualified at each race, by taking the mean differential of the individual team drivers’ gap to pole position. For example, in Melbourne (on the far left of the graph) Sebastian Vettel qualified 1.430 seconds, or 1.66%, off Lewis Hamilton’s pole time, and team-mate Kimi Raikkonen qualified 1.463 seconds, or 1.69% behind Hamilton, for a team average of 1.68%.

“Pirelli has been a first class partner of Formula One during the five seasons in which it has been the Official Supplier of Tyres to the FIA Formula One World Championship and we continue to have full confidence in the safety, quality and suitability of its tyres.
“Within the constraints of safety considerations, which are always paramount, Formula One encourages Pirelli to provide tyre compounds with performance limitations because tyre degradation contributes to the challenge and entertainment of a Formula One race. When doing so, Pirelli provides strong guidance to competitors about any performance limitations of the tyres supplied. Competitors should heed Pirelli’s expert advice when setting their race strategy and tactics, and if they do not, it is at their own risk.
“We are entirely satisfied that Pirelli was not at fault for any tyre-related incidents during the 2015 Formula 1 Shell Belgian Grand Prix.
“Pirelli has offered to provide to each car a single set of tyres to last for an entire Event. While we know that they would be very capable of it, a race with no pit stops would be less exciting.
“Thank you, Pirelli, for helping us to deliver excitement to Formula One fans!”
Nego... dali još uvijek ima ono pravilo da se F1 utrka ne poklapa s 24h LM-ana? Jer vidim da opet nema F1 utrke taj vikend, a sjećam se da je netko na forumu prije par godina postao to u vezi poklapanja F1 i 24h LM.The 2016 Formula 1 calendar is to now stretch into December, with Malaysia hosting the finale, as teams push for further changes to protect a summer break.
At present a record-breaking 21-grands prix schedule is condensed into just eight months, due to a later-than-usual start in Australia on April 3, with Abu Dhabi hosting the finale again on November 27.
However, F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has confirmed to AUTOSPORT that following a request from the race organisers in Singapore, the Malaysian Grand Prix will revert to either December 4 or 11.
Singapore and Malaysia were originally due to run back to back on September 18 and 25, but due to their geographical proximity, the concern is one event will detract from the other.
"We're putting Malaysia later on, into December, away from Singapore," Ecclestone told AUTOSPORT.
"The Malaysians were happy, but the Singaporeans weren't, so we decided to look into it.
"At this stage I don't think we'll need to change anything else."
However, there may yet be further alterations, with teams expressing worries about a shorter summer break to Ecclestone.
In recent years there has been a four-week gap between the Hungarian and Belgian GPs, allowing the teams to adhere to regulations whereby there must be a complete two-week factory shutdown during that period.
For 2016, however, there is only a three-week interval, putting considerable strain on all race-attending staff, and making the shutdown almost impossible to work around.
One possible solution would be to push the Belgian, Italian and Singapore races back by one week each, to September 4, 11 and 25.
"It's absolutely critical for Formula 1 we keep the integrity of the summer break and shutdown, especially for the independent teams with one travelling crew," Force India deputy team principal Bob Fernley told AUTOSPORT.
"If we have a season that doesn't include a shutdown then we are going to have to employ more people to be able to do that, and that's going to be very costly and very disruptive from our point of view.
"It's up to the commercial rights holder [Ecclestone] and the FIA to work around a summer break.
"The key thing for me is, put the summer break in, and then work out from it. Don't do it the other way around.
"What we have today has served Formula 1 phenomenally well. It has done a great job for our travelling crew, whose welfare you have to think of, and their families."
Williams deputy team principal Claire Williams has confirmed the subject due to be broached at the next Strategy Group meeting.
"It does worry us and is something we'll be putting on the agenda for the Strategy Group," said Williams.
"Not having that shutdown is a concern. It's so important for everybody within Formula 1 they have that break, so we'll be lobbying to reinstate it.
"Not sure what can be done. It's up to Bernie. I still think Mr E is in conversations with various promoters of some of those races on the calendar which may enable a little bit of flexibility."
