F1 Fanatic

I remember that a part of the reason to why the 2003 Brazilian GP was so great was because of how different the Bridgestone and Michelin tyres reacted to the rain.

Its funny you mentioned that race, as it was […]

Completely agree. I think its easy to forget how good the races have been since they’ve been in the sport.. and huge amount of credit is due to them.
Short term memory seems to be the trend these days, and since […]

:-) I am afraid that will not be the case @hohum

I would be shocked if he took pole here. Mercedes will up their game on Saturday and so will Red Bull. If Alonso finished on the 2nd row of the grid, he should be very pleased with himself.

If I had to guess, […]

Looking at long stint (race pace) comparisons are interesting. Red Bull seem to have the quickest car here with low degradation levels, followed closely by Lotus and then Ferrari/ Mercedes. I think Ferrari posted […]

Could just as well be to motivate himself. Remember him adding something about not crashing but racing or so last year?

THe best by far, indeed.

I do think Pastor adding that line is a nice touch.

Don’t skew the situation, When we had that exciting Canadian race people loved it. Pirrellii was asked to replicate that, by the end of 2011, teams were once again completing the races with one stop.

Since […]

Still a lot of the season to go, lots of time for people to forget about an impressive few races though

If that turns out to solve it, I guess they’ll be very sorry to not have done more systematic back-to-back tests in the pre-season @bascb

Fascinating insights from AMuS about Williams. Seems what they ran this morning was in fact a genuine 2012 nose/FW! Apparently they put last years floor on the car in Barcelona to see where it went wrong, now they […]

I think the biggest problem is this, if he is being honest, that he thinks it’s a safety problem, then it’s ok. But if he has used safety, as an excuse to get the rules changed to how he wants, then that is very […]

yes

Might have been the KERS playing up though, as his team claimed

Yeah, that illustrates it pretty nicely @lustigson. Domination is what we saw with Ferrari and McLaren.

The last couple of years have been the best job from Red Bull overall, thats why they won. Having the […]

And McLaren could have been right up there in 2012 if not for numerous mistakes and technical mishaps too. And even in 2011 it could have been closer had Hamilton not messed up his own season as much.

Dominance […]

Interesting to see Maldonado and Gorsjean flying during this practice sessions.

Ferrari looking strong race pace wise.. but I doubt we will see either Ferrari on the front row on Saturday.

I’m betting on […]

What should he then do when asked about it (see Keith’s tweet), stay silent, give a “no comment” answer or what?
