F1 Fanatic

“We lost time and I think that has to be a little bit difference with between us: don’t waste too much tyre, especially at this stage of the season where there tyre is so critical.”

“We are wasting too much […]

I don’t understand how they got into that mess. Last year they had very fast car for whole season except one weekend at Silverstone. Their updates during the next weekend at Hockenheim delivered and they could […]

I have no idea what are you talking about then, because what you are trying to describe didn’t happen.

Like Monza, Abu Dhabi or Austin last year, which were one of the best races of the season?

F1, the pinnacle of motorsport.

It’s no wonder as they are essentially driving in China on what was 2011 supersofts and what would be super-supersofts, because with every year Pirelli went 1 step softer with their tyres.

Mexicans have nicknames for their names, for example Francisco is called Paco, Sergio is called Checo and so on:

Is it only me or di Resta always paints himself as a victim of something or someone?

Worthy replacement of Sakon Yamamoto in this role. But to think such bad drivers can participate in FP1 sessions or Young Drivers Test… Well, I guess there is a lot of bills to pay for Marussia.

I won’t sleep until 2nd December with all this excitment coming from announcement in 10 months time. Thank you Martin for ruining my life.

You want unpredictable and exciting racing? Throw away all these expensive cars, replace them with Dallaras GP2/08 with 2014 power units, wider tyres and more ground effect and allow absolutely no modifications […]

The show in which driver on old tyres is breezed past in the middle of a straight by a driver on fresh tyres because of DRS. What a spectactle it is…

Unfortunately 2010 was the last season when F1 was still a […]

He’ll be fine if he’s driving as fast as he was last year and displays similiar attitude to what he showed until Monza, not live-or-die from Japan onwards, when it was clear to see he dropped any cautiousness and […]

From Autosport mag:

All-out one-lap pace is a Bianchi strength, to the point that his chief F3 engineer, who also worked with Sebastian Vettel, believed Bianchi was faster.

So you get an idea.

So 2013 tyres are softer and still Pirelli chose softer compound for Australia? Ridiculous.

One of the most appealing things about the end of last season was that drivers could push all the race. Maybe not as […]

Looks like recent meeting in London brought positive results.

Webber knows he got his front wing taken away to replace broken one on teammate’s car, when they were separated by only 13 points. That’s what he really knows.

“Increased thermal degradation means” there will be more driving to delta time and no races like Abu Dhabi or Austin, when they could push all race long. What a shame.

Maybe one day ‘show and entertainment’ […]

OT: Thanks for posting that picture Keith, such great memories, last year of beautiful, simple, wide cars with slicks. 1997 McLaren was simply gorgeous. Maybe one day we will be back to 2 metres wide track
