F1 Fanatic

Now I’m not in any way a McLaren fan, and I don’t particularly ‘like’ any of their personnel, but to replace Whitmarsh with Ron Dennis would be a massive step backwards – literally. Martin Whitmarsh has done a […]

The standard argument against Schumacher staying is that he’s constantly damaging his legacy, race by race. I don’t buy that. That might carry some sway back at the end of 2010, but it’s gone way past that. […]

I think this is really sad. He’s selling his genuine trophies? Like Monza 99? These were won through determination and hard work, and I think it’s very bizarre that he would want to frivolously sell them. Does he […]

Lewis Hamilton: “If I’d given up I would expect to be fired…”

Can I just redirect everyone’s attention to Lewis Hamilton’s team radio, circa lap 2.. “Guys, I think we should retire the car”..

Now if that […]

@steph

Too right! Hockenheim would be a great track to see how a DRS-free race would work out.

Yay! I was really hoping for more defensive driving regulations. Because what we all really want is more stewards investigations and more penalties for defensive driving…

Yeah right.

I like the new trend of fines. Unless a driver has done something clearly malicious, or there’s some obvious intent, then the FIA shouldn’t be muddling with drive-thrus etc. Maldonado lost the rear, accidents […]

People really think that race was boring?! Boring? That’s a bit of an exaggeration. This was a solid race with some great racing, a few spills along the way, and a change for the lead 4 laps from the end! Come on! […]

@force-maikel

pwnd? How old are you?

@keithcollantine

Yeah all I meant was the pole position thing, given that he didn’t actually start from pole position. I guess it depends how you depends how you classify it (goes back to the Schu-Monaco thing […]

At Suzuka – a Newey track if ever there was one, just ask Sebastian Vettel – Hakkinen led every lap from pole position to win and deliver the world championship.

That’s slightly twisting history…

What an incredible race, I never thought I’d see a dry race that good!

9/10 for me. Should have been a 10, but once again (sorry to be repetitive) DRS took something away. I want to see Schumi grappling with […]

Yep, but it’s rate the race, not rate the result. The result may have been the same without DRS, but at least those overtaking would’ve had to work for it! In my eyes bad racing makes a bad race..

5/10 for me. The DRS completely ruined it, similar to last year. And it’s a real shame because that aside, it was a really great race.

For all those saying the DRS didn’t make a difference, well it clearly […]

Thank god the grid is up on here.. what has happened to the F1 world feed? I had no idea what was going on in that session – they need to sort it out!

@sid_prasher A podium for Massa, or imagine it, even a victory/pole, would be incredible for the confidence and morale of Ferrari! And the morale of me too :) Ha, but unfortunately, I can’t see it happening either..

@sid_prasher

Neither of the Mercs set a fast lap on the super-softs, so I think that masks the performance a bit.

And please don’t get me excited about Felipe yet.. if I saw him and Schumi on the podium […]
