F1 Fanatic

@beneboy I kind of figured, I just unintentionally came across as quite serious!
Absolutely, I just like the novelty of the idea.

@beneboy that’s more of a retro element, which is the theme of the helmet. It’s a good deal classier than a graffiti-esque characiture though…

@beneboy GT-R (skyline) are Nissans…not hondas :P

@beneboy, Skylines are for Infiniti-RBR.

@beneboy +1. As it was said in the forum, Williams decline is hard to overturn. Needless to say, as well, how many “big teams” have faded away throughout F1′s history: Lancia, Maserati, Brabham, even Jaguar (not […]

@beneboy thank you for not having clouded judgement. I think if we all try to be impartial about it – just paint all the cars grey and replace all the drivers with robots for the purposes of the thought experiment […]

@beneboy you are comparing 3.0 litre V10 times with 2.4 litre V8 times. Those engines had another 250 hp or so. That is irrelevant to the point I was trying to make.

My comment was directed solely to the […]

@beneboy That´s such a great idea. It would work well, especially when there aren’t back-to-back races. One reason they probably consider for not doing it is that some tracks are not “representative of the […]

@beneboy – Great point, excellently made! After reading Lewis’ autobiography one could almost get the sense he was brought up in a cave, not half a million pounds worth of house! OK, some of that cost derives from […]

@beneboy No need for apologies for a well thought out and intelligent reply. However this has consequences. In order to reply accordingly, one must have some spare time, which I didn’t have those past few days. So […]

@beneboy Then the V12′s or the 4-litre double turbo charged V8′s of the modern supercars are an old design in your view? I bring this example because we’re talking engines here(see COTD), but there are also […]

(@celeste) (@beneboy) Am I the only person who finds Button underrated? No he’s not Kimi/Alonso/Hamilton, but he’s often up there – my main criticism I’d level at him is that he’s ridiculously sensetive to car […]

@magillagorilla , @beneboy -
Good points. It also occurs to me that Bernie has inherently increased the value of all the top 10 teams. Meaning that if a team wished to sell and was in the top 10 teams, their […]

@beneboy, I think its because a bit different type of “market” and level of customizing that teams do.

I think it can work, and does actually work in MotoGP, in Superbikes its likely even easier, and it works […]

@beneboy
I agree with @bascb I think it just proves the point of COTD. All these teams have disappeared because of economy. It’s only been lucky that there were companies who wanted to invest into buying these […]

@beneboy I completely agree that the DNA of the teams from 2003 is still there, but the changes of ownership have had other effects.

Jordan/Spyker/Midland/Force India took 2 more changes of ownership and a […]

@beneboy I don’t see the danger in having the backmarker teams driving in too old (=uncompetitive) equipment but exactly the opposite.

Just look at the way STR is only half a team. I think its a far too […]

@wsrgo I don´t think @beneboy is talking about philosophy, ut the fact that the structure was the roots of the actual Toro Rosso

@nomore

While @beneboy started his sentence with :
there’s a fan-led point of view…

And if you read the quote from Paul Hembery you’ll see that I was mocking his claim that criticism of the tires was being […]

@hohum

Reread my messages please.
I didn’t spoke for fans i spoke for myself, i started my sentence with:
From my point of view…
