But weather, time of day, and we don't know the exact specifications of the tyre. It's not as simple as soft vs hard.
Also, In 2013, despite more development and showing their full hand Barcelona test times in March were faster than the qualifying times set during the GP weekend.
Add in the restricted fuel rate the cars are still going to be pretty slow. Especially compared to 2004.
Same could be said for 90% of the rest of the grid too. Considering he hasn't had millions spent on prior to racing cars like the rest I think he's doing pretty damn well.
I know, right? I mean, look at these dodgy shows and programming outputs -
Deadwood
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Broadchurch
Ice Road Truckers
South Park
Archer

MotoGP 2014 Live
All other motorsports
Premier League & Champions League Football (if that's ya thing)
Idiot Abroad
House of Cards
The Sopranos
Mad Men
Homeland (Season 1)
Brass Eye
Boardwalk Empire
The West Wing
The Daily Show
etc... etc... etc...
Thank god we have Flog It, Mock The Week, Eastenders, BDO Darts, World Bowls Championship and Miranda to saves us from that sort of rubbish TV.
The TV licence means the BBC has to produce a ton of shit to satisfy its public remit. The current model means the BBC can't make shows like 80% of the ones listed above. Make it private, make it subscription (its going to happen eventually because no one is insane enough to try and introduce an internet licence), give them freedom to invest in proper TV drama, comedy and documentary and we might get some decent output that could rival The Wire (I know it's a cliché and wallowy to talk about The Wire, but there is NOTHING the BBC have ever produced that could ever come close to the quality of that show... nothing) etc... Overall funding MAY fall, but they wouldn't be investing in stupid projects like Salford either and the could invest in some proper shit.
Not even that. It's an 'affiliation' role. Unless an F1 tean is committing to a race seat then as a driver your being used. I can't imagine this sort of publicity for what is a non-role in any other industry
I got so-so quick in the GT 12c on iRacing, and I found myself having to use weird tricks to go fast that definitely weren't realistic. Just felt like you were driving on ice half the time. The way you had to rotate the car before the apex. it reminded of the ridiculous lap records on LFS. Though LFS these quirks only appear right at the shape end of WR world. Just because something is hard to get used to doesn't mean it's more realistic.
Drive a modern car and try to ignore every piece of feedback you don't get in a sim and they do feel absolutely dead. So naturally in a sim some cars will feel dead.
With Assetto Corsa, everything seems to correlate well with my (admitadly limited) real world experience
If god's plan includes child abuse then he is implicit in that action, thus negating his own existence. He would have to send himself to hell, if this is all part of his plan.
There are so many philosophical hypocrisies in organised religion its barely worth even starting to highlight them. The fact that religious people need the promise of heaven to reward their selfless behaviour or worship, thus making that selfless behaviour actually selfish, is one that I find amusing. Surely for someone to be truly selfless they can't be influenced by the word of god? Again, however all this is pointless to argue.
I happen to be agnostic, but I would hope any unfortunate person that happens to have suffered child abuse please read this please note - it is NOT god's plan. That's complete and utter bollocks.
If the forks were even they'd be illegal so being uneven makes sense if this design is accurate. Also Lotus would be pissing off plenty of journalists and media by posting fake images. if that's a game they want to play it won't end well.
and here's another pic confirmed that the uneven nose is indeed correct.
