F1 Fanatic

@keithcollantine – just a quick typo keith

“On the steering wheel I think I’ve got at least double the amount of buttons and switches that I had on my previous one. I’ve already got rid of quite a few of the […]

It isn’t just the noise plus I would feel cheated if a V6 sounded like a V10 but didn’t perform the same. The speed and performance differential between the two is large. Already we have seen that the qualifying […]

I just don’t know how I feel about this. Going from V10′s to V8′s was a bit of a shock but the racing has still been great. Now though it’s soon to be V6′s and then goodness knows where. I almost feel like you’re […]

The reason Vettel was unable to pass Alonso even with DRS is simply because RB are renowned for having a high DF set up which impacts their top speed.. If you look at the FIA speed trap data RB were pretty much […]

Whilst I’m not a huge fan of DRS as it can make a lot of races artificial I would argue that Hamilton would have most likely still won in Canada if he didn’t have DRS. His tyres were fresher and after making the […]

+1

as a side note I’m thrilled at Webber’s win :)

For me that was an extremely boring race.. It was like playing follow the leader and all about tire preservation!

I’d love there to be some rain on the race day! Perhaps a really interesting track evolution going from wet – dry or the other way around

I must admit that it’s a great job ferrari have Alonso! He has proved time and again that with a mediocre car he can deliver decent points.. I am a huge McLaren fan but I will be the first to raise my hand and say […]

I think Sergio Perez would be a great pick, I absolutely loved watching him fight in Malaysia and think he is a good young talent on the grid!

I’m a fan of the low nose design purely because it looks fantastic, however if McLaren need to adopt a higher nose for more rear end grip then so be it..

At the end of the day points mean prizes and I would […]

McLaren ran their car in its conventional form for much of the test (pictured) before switching to a new, higher nose in the final hour of running.

Keith highlighted the photo is not of the new nose, if you […]

I feel a storm coming! Haha.. I agree with these points ESPECIALLY a driver having to start on the tyres they qualified on.. The issue for me is the teams have a lack of strategic options on the race day and […]

@prisoner-monkeys I understand that the rule has been around for years, the frustration isn’t that it is Hamilton, it’s at the fact that the race weekend hasn’t started yet (please do not assume I am a Hamilton […]

such a silly rule, they haven’t even been on the track yet.. I can at least understand it if they qualified and then changed the gearbox, but this seems a bit stupid to me!

Out of these designs I really like the Sauber livery.. I cannot wait until 2013 when we can get rid of these ugly noses, the w03 looks horrible when you see the onboard camera!

I wonder, as pubs would have been showing the race live but they would count as a single viewer with perhaps 40-50 people there at one time.. It’s curious to think about what the actual reach was? One thing for […]

I had pretty much the same answers as you.. I really want to see Schumacher win a race this year, I think if he does we can see some real momentum from him… Especially as Merc seem like the dark horse this year!!

exactly, they’re a team that like to play their cards close to their chest and now they have to reveal their hand sooner then they’d like.
