F1 Fanatic

Eh, what about Lotus. That’s my bet for the race, having seen the degradation on track. I had hoped Merc would be that much closer but at least they look like they are clear of the Force of India

Grosjean in Particular is looking menacing. After 3 races there were whispers that maybe he wasn’t good enough 4 F1, I think the sky team even had a discussion on who might replace him next year. They completely […]

Well, that’s to be expected. There simply isn’t that much capacity for development left considering they had all of last year year to exploit the same regulations. From that point of view one can understand why […]

Lewis would have put any car in the top 4 teams on pole. He is that good. It’s the rest of the weekend that usually falls apart, and recently it’s been the tire muncher that he now drives.

Unfortunately, this kind of racing has been attracting the casual viewer as the TV figures have been trending upwards in recent years. Bernie is very happy indeed, and so are the teams coz that’s where the money comes from.

Newey has been giving Seb very good gifts for the last 3 years indeed, and this year’s gift is already proving to be just as big a hit as the previous ladies.

Should the MacLaren drivers be airing their dirty laundry on twitter? It seems strange to me, unless Jenson is politicking again and realises he came across badly to fans and wants to do some PR and damage limitation.

Paul Di Resta seams to be very vocal this year. I like it! That ‘deer caught in the lights’ look of yester year was not doing him any favours. I guess he realises if Sutil beats him that’s it for his F1 career, or […]

Lewis came from absolutely nowhere to 5th, the best he could have hoped for. Thats all he can do at the moment, just collecting as many points as possible and staying in the fight just in case they manage to […]

Button got hammered by Perez today. I hope this will stop his patronising tone when he speaks about Perez!

In terms of actual racing this was the best race of the year so far. 8/10.
And people say Bahrain is boring.

I guess for the purists it will serve to clarify the strengths or weaknesses of the title contenders especially on the rear tyres, and indeed who is contending. I think Malaysia flattered Red Bull with Alonso […]

I think Merc will mostly be there this season to throw the spanner in the works in a lot of the races, but ultimately fall short. One team being under-estimated a bit is the Lotus. That car is looking really, […]

@vettel1
Like @solo said, the yellow flags were being waved and every driver knows not to use DRS under yellow flags.

Unfortunately, we are going to have the soft tyre in Bahrain as well this time with the hard tyre. Maybe the temperatures there will help, but I doubt it. A tyre should last more than 10 laps after qualy, […]

@kingshark
One then wonders how Lewis managed to win all those Grands Prix. All 21 of them!

The danger Vettel and Button have is getting stuck behind Grosjean who can go very long on the softs. Vettel can’t past because he is well down on top speed and jenson just does not have fundamental performance.

If F1 was gonna take off in China it would have done so in the last 10 years. What it needs is a competitive Chinese driver, and there aren’t many of those in the lower Formulas.

It would have been better for Webber to stay on the waves in Oz. He would have had a much better chance of beating Vettel from there.

Hamilton did 27 laps on a set of mediums which points to a two-stopper which in theory is faster. He was also better on lap times than Rosberg on the softs so I will go Rosberg pole and Hamilton to win. On any […]
