F1 Fanatic

So why were triple 8 cars silver/orange only under the vodafone sponsorship?

So, extra pair of cylinders and that’s it huh? under such a simplistic interpretation, why not go for the even easier ‘stick in an indy engine’ one?

Wow wow wow! i don think i’ve ever seen a race with the battles this one had. Don’t know if it was the track, the very hard tires/new asphalt (doubt it, as it hasn’t happened before) or what, but the hairs in the […]

They don’t because overall, for the past 3.5 years he’s had the fastest car

Webber was marginally better than an old Coulthard who by his own recognition wasn’t very good at the end of his career

Yeap, as seen by Vettel’s race pace today, the RB was the fastest car in the race and would have probably also been the quickest in quali if it weren for the brake issues.
And yeah you need a good car and a good […]

Button and Alonso have had worthy team mates and never have had the best car for 3.5 years in a row. So yeah, Vettel is making the most of the situation as a great driver should, but so far when it comes down to […]

The macca on LH’s hands is very good in qualifying, but even in Australia you could tell the RB had better race pace. Had Vettel kept his grid position he would have won this even w/o Lewis retiring, so yeap, the […]

Don’t believe so. To start with he still has the best car out there by quite a margin and on top of that he had it setup for the race vs cars that were setup for quali/race, plus he was on softer tyres and had […]

Awesome, will do, thanks!

I think that’s a reflection of what’s really happening there. From what we’ve seen the situation hasn’t guaranteed the attention of the international media, it wasn’t until F1 came that more noises were made so i […]

I was about to say this when i read:

One is that the the upper wishbone must transmit more load, some of which would otherwise have been carried by the push-rod.

It really is the angles that make the difference here

RB engines have not been renamed Infinity, that was just a rumor.

I think Vettel’s 3 fingers in 5 secs to Karthikeyan is something i haven’t seen recently. 0.6 fingers per sec should be a record i think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SYn6fAIRU4&feature=related

Such as? what is ‘more manual’?

Keith, what does this mean?

“With the FIA restricting the assistance a driver can receive at the start this year, we could see more changes in the opening lap than we’re used to”

I’m a bit worried that Vettel was able to get those softs to last that long. I couldn’t hear what Lewis said but it seemed to me he was wanting to end his second stint on mediums due to wear while Vettel was still […]
