F1 Fanatic

I think I agree that if you issue team orders, at least be clear and unambiguous about it to your drivers @brace, and make sure it is an exception, so doesn’t demotivate. Again, if you use them, which I prefer teams not to.

@brace – I’d like to go to Birmingham… in Alabama!

@brace

if Red Bull themselves knew what they were doing and wing flexing comprehensively wasn’t accidental, but that they were intentionally circumventing regulations, they could be punished after being found […]

In dutch that means smart. fitting really, isn’t it @brace :-)

(@brace) +1, nicely said.

@brace

Only thing that those two races prove is that Vettel is still weak in racing in the middle of the pack and that his car was much faster than anything

No, it proved he can race through a pack brilliantly […]

@brace

So most of team principals regard Alonso as the best driver at the moment, most F1 drivers regard Alonso as the best driver at the moment, most F1 pundits, journalists, bloggers etc regard him as the best […]

@brace

TP’s picked Alonso number one last year. Remember who they picked as #2? Vettel. The year before? They had Vettel #1. In fact, since 2009, Vettel’s been either #1 or #2 on their list.

@brace

Talk Vettel up as much as you want, but talking others down will only get people to talk your driver down.

That is simply just a result of different views.
I don’t think its a case of talking your […]

@brace – Weak isn’t the word I’d use. He wasn’t 100% perfect, but still ground out an excellent result and a decent one given the circumstances and pressure he was under. And did it again in Belgium too.

@brace
Well said mate.

@brace – I’ll grant you the white stripe that initially follows the form of the sidepod but then abruptly changes direction does break the flow of the design, but I rather like the rest of it! It’s not outlandish […]

@brace – I can see why they wouldn’t want prying eyes from seeing their developments (as really, who would) but they are taking it too far. Keith has experienced their forcefulness first hand and I do agree they […]

“Apparently Red Bull and a few other teams are complaining that photographers are taking photos of the rears of the cars at pit exit.”

@brace There, thought I’d just highlight a part of that quote you seem to […]

@brace

old-fashioned parents in case they might not want their daughter doing something too masculine

“Old-fashioned” here being a transparent euphemism for “sexist”.

@brace – this is but only a rather presumptuous proposed grid.

@brace – absolutely the target audiences are different, but you can’t disagree that the NASCAR driver’s shackles are much more loose. I for one like to see the driver’s personalities which is a rare showing these […]

@brace – to add to that, one was wet and Kimi’s win was from 4th: only Valencia was really a surprise win, and at that probably only happened because of Vettel’s alternator failure (although you could still call […]

@brace
Without wanting to get into who’s missing what point – you did miss mine. What I’m saying is that if she’s a crap driver with personal connections, then let’s say she’s a crap driver with personal […]
