F1 Fanatic

If the teams keep clawing back performance and durability from the tires towards the end of the season, year after year, resulting in 1-stop races, isn’t that indicative of the most reasonable way races should be […]

@f1lauri
how can you not differentiate between ‘tyre strategy is important in f1′ and ‘tyre strategy is everything f1 is all about’ ? this is too much.

hehe, that’s so true! me too

@thescienceguy

if you care to show me other examples from those 63 years of F1 in which a tire delaminated after a whopping amount of 5 laps (Hamilton) or 20 laps (Button and i think Chilton too), then you’ll […]

@sonkky
Right, apparently you haven’t watched Button and Max Chilton have the same issue just weeks ago. But i guess for it to represent a true problem, you must have all 21 cars blow up their tyres.

@me4me
I really think this has absolutely nth to do with Mercedes reliability. Pretty sure if it hadnt been for that blown-up tire, they wouldn’t have changed the gearbox.

So, Hamilton gets a penalty because of Pirelli’s joke-tires. Nice job, Pirelli.

lol, nice one. i keep looking at that article photo with clear blue skies and sand and i can’t imagine it with rain at all.

I think the issue with this type of races produced by the Pirelli tyres is, as Martin Brundle noted during the race commentary, that it produces a lot of action all over the track, yes, but not racing. Drivers […]

@tmekt
you’ve missed the point.
you’re asking that question as if trying to get re-elected is part of a whole different kind of activity than running the FIA. The ‘crappy, spineless leader’ part was most likely […]

I hope this is exactly Pirelli bowing to the teams. An exciting tyre does not equal a ridiculous, no more than 7-lap durable tyre. Bahrain is a completely different track as well, where the dust and sand on track […]

“Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt”, Christian.

I dont understand Hulkenberg’s quote at the end: what exactly is unacceptable, unbelievable? The radio he issued or the fact that the car is bad?

“Lewis will drive the living daylights out of whatever car he’s got”.

Yes, if it were Formula 1 in 2007/08. The Pirelli tires sadly forbid him, or any driver to do that.

@jcost

you’re viewing this all wrong. briatore is the go-to person to point fingers at Red Bull, because the issue isn’t about whether team orders are allowed in f1, the issue is about one of the drivers […]

@sato113
if Pirelli is worried that drivers speaking out their minds is damaging their image, then they shouldn’t have signed up for this task in the first place.

also, webber isn’t directly criticising […]

@dafffid, well said.

why did keith even bother to put up that column in the round-up? to spike up even more bashing of hamilton? it’s one of the most idiotic and hateful things i’ve read.

and because of what? because the driver […]
