F1 Fanatic

So it seems @bascb. Many ‘commenters’ expect it to be a one-off, I’m not so sure… first I need to see if they can actually do better in the race, then we can talk about other races. I like HRT but I think they […]

HRT seem to be improving though… don´t they?

Sorry… I missed the sarcasm.

Nor do I here in Spain.

Agreed @BasCB, Usually Monaco is just a dreadful bore-fest… so I’m very happy with this.

If it had ‘paid off’ it would have been great, but it didn’t, and nobody will remember how close Vergne came to getting […]

I wish every race at Monaco was like that one!

Shame about the Toro Rosso decision there…. but at least we now know exactly what it is that isn’t up to F1 champion status.

Sometimes all that matters is the next car.

The HRTs look a lot better around this track.

I was going to suggest that Alonso may not be getting his results from sheer speed, but racecraft. Of course that wouldn’t make sense after having done the same thing all season, so I have to concede that your point is fair.

Why would you assume that the HRT staff wouldn’t help?

My problem with the article is that the criticisms are damning but ambiguous. We are told that “incompetent” is a nice way to put it, but then all he says […]

Fair enough @David-A; we’ll see. Thanks @Bosyber.

I wonder whether they will finish close to the points tomorrow…

Exactly, so far it look like they’ll need 1.5 seasons to look better. In other words, they are not impressing and their performance is not an improvement.

I am personally profoundly unimpressed with the new Toro Rosso pair. In practice their times look far more competitive than last year’s car, but the drivers don’t seem to be getting the performance out of on […]

You are right about the language… I’m cool with it but aren’t you bending you own sites rules just a teeny bit? Plus… what sort of example do you think that’s setting? LOL

only messing withya. I’m off clubbing now…

hahaha… that’s cool.

You see? Kimi lets his driving do the speaking, but it is very articulate driving.

Well I certainly didn’t see that coming.

general feeling of unease

I’d say that’s about right.

Meanwhile in the real world….

Bahrain now has its first protester death of the F1 weekend. The man’s body was found lying on a roof in the village of Shakhura, his face to the sky.

Around his neck rested a […]

Actually, is Valencia on the calendar this year? I assume so.

Well, I believe the race is being subsidised by a regional government which is virtually bankrupt and which has been the focus of various […]

If these suspicions are proved right we will have to accept that FOM and the FIA are consciously lending political support to the regime. There is no other way of interpreting such behaviour.

What?? That is blatantly politically biased! Those mechanics are neither political scientists nor security experts, why can’t they leave their off-track statements to experts? The have made a political statement […]
