F1 Fanatic

The thing about driver vs. driver racing is, it sounds like a great thing to aim for, but it’s an abstract notion that has never been consistently achieved. Sure, you can go through highlights reels and find […]

People who think DRS has ruined the sport really ought to go back and watch a whole race from 2010 or before. Drivers got within 2 seconds and then couldn’t do anything, even if they were 1-2 seconds per lap […]

I agree, I like the simplicity of it. Pretty much every new track in the last decade has had a mixture of fast corners, slow corners and long straights and it’s getting boring. I like that this circuit has gone […]

FP2 in India 2011

Yes, that’s true.

The total time of the race was only 0.016s longer than last year.

Three drivers from three different teams have now won at the start of the year. On average, this happens once every four years, but it is the […]

To you and the other person who said something similar, both cars were managing tyres and other variables. Vettel was capable of going quicker and said so on the radio, but Webber was also capable of going quicker […]

Very strange comments from Vettel. He says he is sorry for putting himself above the team, but then says he isn’t sorry for winning, which was the direct product of doing that. Are you sorry or not, Sebastian? […]

People saying Sutil performed much better than di Resta here are actually mistaken. It was di Resta who performed better in qualifying and got into Q3, but this meant he had to start on the super soft tyre. As we […]

I don’t think it’s this site in particular, though it’s disappointing that the BBC article was the headline article of the round-up. Just reading the top-rated comments on that article show the real picture. […]

Surely this is much better than the cameras in Indycar? This captures the entire 360 degrees in real time, so, in theory, it could be operated freely by any viewer, rather than just the director, as it is in Indycar.

@ajokay The reason I misinterpreted you was because you counted Senna. His lap wasn’t faster than Button, so it wasn’t the fastest lap when he crossed the line. Going by your definition, only three drivers set the […]

I did a quick search… Britain 2010 had eight drivers set their fastest laps on the last lap, including Alonso who set the fastest lap of the […]

Race pace won’t matter much. It looked fairly close on race pace at Korea, but Red Bull locked out the front row and were able to control the race from there. The same looks likely here.

Very interesting, I would have expected some permutations to have happened more often. I would certainly expect VET, WEB, ALO to happen again at some point.

Webber became the eleventh different driver to set fastest lap this year, giving 2012 the outright record.

Vettel, Webber and Alonso joined each other on the podium for the second time this year, the first […]

Felipe Massa has outscored Alonso in the last five races, while Vettel has scored twice as many points as the Spaniard in the same period.

Hamilton got into Q3 for the 50th consecutive time. The last time he […]

And McLaren at Australia as well
