I would say Kimi will get the drive if Redbull are not satisfied with the STR drivers to replace Webber, at the end of the day they do have a team just for this process, and with only 1 driver so far being successful I think I would bank on Ricciardo to get it if he keeps performing like this.
You seem to have no idea about the reason they find this dangerous, its because the compounds had a steel belt and when it exploded the steel parts would fly all over the joint which at the speed they were at could very easily pierce the helmets.
Now that it's Kevlar there isn't really an issue anymore.
On GT5 the snap oversteer is ridiculious when you are trying to drift, but racing wise after a bit of experience its quite easy to avoid, GT6 the cars are already noticably easier to drift and the snap overateer is much less profound.
The setting up of snap oversteer is usually the result of a diff setting but we will see how GT6 is once we can play with the set ups.
It depends on the corner though, i myself know how to do it as you mentioned but there is even more gains to be made with the handbrake.
The slidy effect is exaggereted with users that use controller though, because they have much more sensitive steering most of the cornering is a complete drift.
The key to the lap times has less to do with the way the corner is.manged and more to.do with how early you can get grip off the throttle.
The Braking technique you mention is required in becketts and Maggots for a good time though.
GT-R is the one car i feel like hasn't changed tbh.
With body roll less profound in it, it basically handles eaxctly like GT5, probably a bit more rearward then standard but i usually set my GT-Rs to handle like that anyway
Make a hard durable bridgestone esque tyre that can last the entire race distance but is over a second a lap slower and make a fast cheese tyre that lasts 1/4th of the race distance and then remove the two compounds rule, and have a tyre thats qualifying only so the grid is mixed up with strategies.
Pretty much identical to what they had in the 80s but it worked
The qualifying system how it is now is a repeat of the same thing, all the top guys go for the softest compounds.
Pirelli blames the high kerbs yet we have never seen tyre blow outs at silverstone like this in any series who would use the kerbs similar.
I can't see pirelli taking this beating to its reputation much longer, cheese tyres are counter productive to any supplier who chooses to make them.
Its a shame because anyone who knows half there shit know pirelli make the best road tyres out there, and it hurts my brain seeing all the clueless sheep thinking its how pirelli make there road tyres and they must be crap.
I think what happens next is solely what the Torro Rosso drivers do, if someone doesn't step up then Kimi would take it instead.
Kimi coming to Redbull will be good for Vettel, whether he ends up dominating or being dominated it will let him know where he stands, Vettel knows some of the grid don't take him seriously because they think he has the best car by miles and its eating him inside.
Personally I think what will happen is Vettel will destroy Kimi qualifying wise which in turn will hamper kimis ability to stay with Vettel in the races, which I think they will be quite close race pace wise.
