F1 Fanatic

@nomore, Max’s pen-name @vettel1 does suggest a bias but nomore so than @commendatore, so let’s try to have a sensible balanced conversation; no-one is keener than me to see someone other than SV win this years […]

@commendatore
And the others doesn’t fight off track?
This is just Ferrari and Lotus defending their strengths. Where was Lotus and Ferrari when FIA banned the EBD a few years ago in the middle of the season? I […]

@mike first from @commendatore

Should’ve been higher, like in 2nd place.

…which was in reply to me asking whether @jleigh thought he should be higher or lower. Then from the man himself:

I personally […]

@commendatore the man himself disagrees with you. I wouldn’t put words in other people’s mouths.

@commendatore. Its interesting you think like this. At no point can I remember Vettel being handed a victory on a plate due to their teamate being asked to move out of the way like Schumacher or Alonso. […]

@commendatore you didn’t get what I said, then, cuz I praise Vettel for what he did. I think he just managed it a bit badly inmediately after the race…

@commendatore I’d like to know what your thoughts on the podium ceremony at the 2010 German Grand Prix… I suspect you didn’t find it ‘disgusting’.

@commendatore The two incidents don’t bear comparison.

Schumacher was the beneficiary of a team order and should have felt ashamed about being on the top step of the podium when Barrichello had beaten him fair […]

@commendatore TBH even Schumi isnt tht respectable considering his Villuenve incident and the 2006 Monaco penalty

(@colossal-squid)(@commendatore)

It’s incredibly reductive to state that Vettel’s victory was purely down to luck

I agree, he also clearly had twice the grip of everyone else.

As ever.

@commendatore – the German being Vettel? Schumacher’s not racing, so either you’ve been mistaken or I need to re-evaluate my preconceptions of your support for certain drivers…

@commendatore The only “shameful” thing is that there are some who continue to claim Glock did anything wrong at Brazil in 2008. Which, of course, he did not.

He was driving his own race and by gambling to stay […]

@commendatore If you are going to ‘honour’ MS/Ferrari for their successes over the way Red Bull has done it over the last 3 years, as you claim, then I would remind you that Ferrari may have felt less need to […]

@commendatore – thanks for the festive wishes and a happy new year to you! I’ll be waiting patiently as I think you’ll have a hard time finding anything ;)

@commendatore

In RBR these last 3 years we saw breaking of the rules, cheating, exceeding the budget limit, having a second team (Toro Rosso) gather data for them, sabotage of other teams

Name one occasion […]

@vettel1 pretty much hit the nail on the head @commendatore. If I remember correctly, McLaren required confirmation from the FIA that the MP4-23 was legal in their books, and as for STR, their telemetry data is […]

@commendatore You are suffering from major inconsistencies – on the one hand you’re saying that Massa has underdelivered (despite scoring 122 points) which suggests that he had a very capable car, and at the same […]

@commendatore

That’s a ridiculous statement.

Did you not see a masterful piece of driving and teamwork when Massa allowed Alonso past himself and Webber?

@commendatore

And he won’t for some time to come as I doubt Mercedes will provide him with a championship contending car.

@commendatore
Oh, we’ll see.
