F1 Fanatic

My vote goes to Mansell just on the numbers alone – retired as the 3rd winningest driver in F1, close calls in ’86 and ’91 and it took a truly unbeatable machine for him to get there.

@vettel1 – As well as the weight of the ERS, the weight limit will also increase due to the requirements of intercoolers and the other turbo ancillaries that the current cars don’t have. I agree that it would be […]

Who cares?

How I wish we could go back to the days in the early 90′s where teams could choose to run either a V8, a V10 or a V12. I know the world has changed and the emphasis is on smaller, more “relevant” technical […]

@prisoner-monkeys no I can understand that and I think the power train itself should have a minimum weight absolutely, but the 640kg we have now is excessive I feel and doesn’t need increasing. I do believe the […]

It surely has to be Nigel Mansell, 5th on the all time winners list and plenty of standout performances. Though unfortunately I never saw Mansell drive live in a race. The other names must Raikkonen and Hamilton.

Only 3 names come to mind Raikkonen , Mansell and Hamilton.

Sorry, it’s a spur of the moment sort of thing:

“One day, when the supply runs out, Bernie will likely fritter to dust on camera during a grid walk, but today it’s smiles all around as everyone celebrates […]

@vettel1 – It’s because the ERS devices are actually going to weigh quite a bit. KERS currently weighs about 20kg, and that’s going to be completely revised for 2014 so that it is constantly providing power. On […]

Yeah, I was expecting Mansell to be a majorities vote, and rightfully so. Raikkonen and Hamilton are up there too, though not quite on the same level as Nigel yet.

Jochen Rindt, I don’t know much about him, […]

The only thing I strongly disagree with in these rule changes is that the weight limit is increasing: if F1 really wanted to drive effecient technologies, why isn’t the weight limit going down (as it is probably […]

My favourite raving car of all time, the Bentley speed 8. I took the photo myself when the car was in Liverpool for the ”Pageant of Power” a few years ago.

My favourite F1 car of all time, the McLaren-Mercedes MP4-20. Driven by some Finnish chap.

What cars are you missing?

Majority of cars from the 1950′s :-). However, it should be noted that a typical missing car ran in only one GP, typically Indy, often not even finishing. One could call them […]

It’s an impossible choice between Jochen Rindt & Nigel Mansell for me. With better luck both of them had won more than just 1 champion. What makes it impossible to choose is the fact that Rindt was just 28 when […]

There are lots of contenders for this one. I would probably go for Mansell if i had to choose but a list of the best one-time drivers for me would have to include(in no particular order, with of course a slight […]
