F1 Fanatic

This appears to have priced out many F1 enthusiasts as the downturn bites…

@keithcollantine – Do Most / Few / None of the current FIA Formula 1 championship race promoters make profit on their events?

@zantkiller – does the cost of getting to Spa vs. getting to Silverstone, + local transport, food and lodging even it out at all for a UK-based fan?

Well, at least the snap judgements will be made by people with actual access to all of the evidence supporting every viewpoint.

@prisoner-monkeys – hehe

(btw: I can’t believe no one else has responded yet to […]

Even “mild” cancer can be terrible and terrifying at age 89, I would imagine, and I hope this doesn’t become more serious for Murray Walker. What a legend. Legend…

The regulations are the regulations – they are not whatever

@jonsan – What you don’t seem to understand is that there is no mechanism to resolve which takes precedence when they are in conflict: sporting […]

@petebaldwin – the best are all the Red Bull supporters who claim that they’re “fans” of the sport yet actually believe that the prospect of Mercedes F1 team and sole tire supplier/sponsor being persecuted, having […]

Actually, now that Concorde has expired, I thought it was only a gentlemen’s agreement b/w all of the teams on paper where they agree not to test in-season 2013 using 2013 cars. Plus as Karun Chandhok astutely […]

Will you and all the other haters be apologizing to Mercedes staff, drivers and management, and Pirelli as well, for relentlessly attacking, slandering and sullying them, despite their consistent claims from the […]

If that e-mail is true, i think that that’s really absurd and if so the f1 circle is all messed up…

@hipn0tic – by “the f1 circle” do you mean teams like Red Bull and Ferrari that have tried to destroy both […]

We fans are to blame, because we make radio messages more important than they are…

@tmf42 – Dude, I strongly object to your statement. It’s not the fans who make the radio msgs more important than they should […]

Prove that you didn’t share data with Mercedes or help them advance their Championship run.

@robbie – Jesus, dude, what kind of legal system did you grow up under, where the innocent have to prove that they’re […]

What it does suggest however is that there are some poor management decisions being made which ultimately rest on Whitmarsh’ shoulders…

@thebladerunner – isn’t what it suggests that there are some poor design […]

During this time Raikkonen has been able to score points for finishing in the top ten which was not the case when Schumacher set his record.

Pfffft… @keithcollantine never missing an opportunity to […]

Would KK have had to pay Ferrari for this test, or would it have been part of his normal duties for the company per his employment as a driver in a different series?

Not saying it should have any bearing on the FIA’s decision, it’s just interesting.

Of course it should have a bearing on what decision is taken! F1 is an entertainment business venture first and foremost, […]

Proper aristocratic scum-bag.

@psynrg … +1,000,000!!!

And I never had the impression that changes were being considered because RBR were being vocal let alone the most vocal.

@robbie – really? so when Vettel and even Webber, unfortunately, are quoted (and […]

Very sad – a tragedy even. I hope that lessons can be learned and applied to future GP’s to enhance safety not just of competitors, but also marshals, who have a thankless task…

VDG just seems like a driver who doesn’t really “belong” at the top-level of motorsport in F1. But if you replaced him w/ someone else, would they go any faster really? They’d probably not impede as many other […]

Hey Sutil, do you want some cheese w/ that WHINE! [lol - I'm so funny.]
