F1 Fanatic

6/10. Not a great race by any means, but better than previous Spanish Grands Prix 5+ years ago.

Vettel was unchallenged up front, but otherwise very enjoyable from start to finish. Compared to only a few years ago, the racing is so much better.

1. How many different teams will win races? 5 – Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus and Mercedes
2. Who will retire first in the Australian Grand Prix? Jules Bianchi
3. Who will set the most pole positions? […]

I’m hugely excited for the new engines. The journos say they sound good, and it’s great to see emphasis being put on the ERS system. I don’t think there’ll be a power deficit compared to the V8s with the new […]

Correct, it’ll be one single turbocharger, which apparently can rev up to 125,000rpm (!). As for turbo lag, your guess is as good as mine.

Agreed. I don’t like the look of the last 2 corners, but the rest looks great. Especially that Turn 2, I love new unique corners coming into F1

Completely agree with Bernie here. It’s extremely naive to think that F1 isn’t “entertainment” as well as sport.
Go back a few years, and you’d see the majority of people whingeing about processional races and […]

This is the toughest vote I’ve ever had to do. Button controlled the race brilliantly, and put on a show of what he can really do when the situation suits him. Hulkenberg was astounding at the front, and probably […]

I quite like the design. Normally I don’t like drivers changing their helmets, even for once-off events, but if it’s for his dad then it’s all good.

Voted Hamilton, because he pulled the absolute maximum out of that McLaren. Honourable mention to Massa, whose performance has gotten much much better in the last few races.

My favourite race this season definitely. Tough but fair racing throughout the field, and a brilliantly tense battle for the lead. Couldn’t have asked for more from an inaugral race.

Absolutely brilliant race, constant excitement and tense finish. In terms of the title, it could have been better, but I’m not complaining about this race. One of the best this season, at the very least.

Absolutely fantastic news for the championship, tomorrow’s Grand Prix should be excellent fun to watch!

And once again, Vettel winning makes for rubbish races. Good battles in the second half, but the first half was terrible. A 5 is being generous

Same problem here. I’m going to watch it anyways, and pray that Alonso, or even Raikkonen can pull something off. Not hopeful though.

Some good on-track battles, just a pity all of them were meaningless. 6/10, would have been much better if there were battles at the front.

As delighted as I am for Kobayashi, the second half of that race was depressing to watch. I’ll give it a 5 for an entertaining first half.

The DRS wasn’t too bad last year from memory, but it’s good to see they’re taking the emphasis off it, albeit only slightly.
