F1 Fanatic

Statistics are in Vettel’s favour though. When Schumacher won his first title he was half a year older than Vettel when he won his third.

Best moment of the race in spite of personal motivations and team orders.

I would just like to give a shout out to Martin Brundle for conducting a fantastic podium interview, there was never a moment where he […]

@aish – V6, coupled to a turbo and a next generation Energy Recovery System.

I know I’m a minority, but I’m quite looking forward to these changes. While the Tyres are idesigned to be an artificial handicap, […]

Why not just cover up certain sensitive parts of the car and be intentionally mysterious about it. Hell, I’d cover up uninteresting parts just to spite the competition, if only for comedy.

Otherwise have an […]

I was really hoping for a Hulkenberg win, he was driving brilliantly until he lost his car and took Hamilton out in the process. I thought the penalty was harsh, for what was a racing incident. Also gutted for […]

Once again, Alonso maximized his potential, good strategic move by Ferrari. In spite of his outburst due to admittedly very clumsy traffic, a very dignified second place by Vettel, giving props right after […]

@q85 My bad, I thought Romain was catching up with a chance of winning it before he dropped out.

That’s the whole point though, Vettel would have been 32 points more ahead, in spite of his epic racing. In this two way title fight, it is completely irrelevant in what position Alonso finishes, as long as it’s […]

All polls are popularity polls, that is exactly what polls measure. :)

Unless I missed the official F1Fanatic decree which lists quantitative methods to drive for a specific driver, I’m voting for whoever left […]

Italian and Spanish are very similar, Italians I know have little problems understanding and speaking it without any formal training. When your head is a few inches away from a torrent of noise while you’re doing […]

I think it’s a shame television coverage of motorsport is so in love with slow motion. Here is a clip of the crash at normal speed, which isn’t (unless I missed it) in the video posted above. […]

“I have an elevator made from carbon fiber!”

Only 1 in the top five has won a race this season, likely we’ll see a sixth winner by the sixth race already.

Can’t wait, although I should really get into the habit of turning on qualifying when Q3 is […]

The section in the bottom left looks extremely boring, the rest really cool.

Here is a youtube video somebody talked about earlier, most of the layout and gradient look fantastic. Some sections look […]

Easily Pastor Maldonado, didn’t make a single mistake all weekend. Brilliant qualifying, aggressive in the race when he needed to be, calm and composed when he needed his tires to last, while fending off two […]

Maldonado didn’t put a foot wrong all race. Didn’t get the best start, but his pace in the middle was great and the end was incredibly composed. Didn’t expect this, truly fantastic drive.

Kobayashi finally […]

Button didn’t set a time in Q3, he gets to choose anyway.

McLaren first cheat then lie about it. They were punished for blatantly lying in Australia 2009 and Canada 2010 cleared up the fuel rule beautifully.

I’m absolutely gutted for Hamilton, his performance today […]

I think Pirelli took it a step too far. Especially now that the cars seem to have a very close ultimate pace, I’d rather see them more flat our for more of the time. While tyre conservation can be interesting, […]

It’s pretty disgusting they’re actually still going ahead with this. Signs have been the same for weeks now, every report condemning F1′s presence at this time has been ignored. Now it’s also unambiguously clear […]
