F1 Fanatic

That’s rather well-said, John H. Nice to see someone has considered at least part of the underlying problem.

It should be clear to anyone who thinks about it, that measuring on-track moves so as to define when […]

This looks like fun. Bit of a shame I’m so late to find this thread. Ah well, maybe next year, eh?

Chrissylyn: be worried! ;)

Four changes of direction eh? You should apply to Silverstone as a steward with such outstanding knowledge of what constitutes a change of direction in F1.

@Dizzy
A few links might be useful. Every forum I’ve seen has presented some pretty could cases against Schumacher’s comments, even when they might sympathise with part of his […]

@kbdavies
Interesting KBD.
Perhaps you are aware of why it was deemed necessary to introduce penalties for some particular types of antics?

You may not agree, but when one driver decides he will respect […]

Quite correct, AJ.

I said “one defensive move”. His second move was returning to the racing line, which he is fully entitled to do.

Yes, Gaz;I understand that. However, a defending driver is entitled to defend his position with one move off-line. As it was, Senna made a small and rather predictable move, before realising he could return to the […]

Yes, Lee; a very good point about Schumacher arguing for it. Then again, one has to say such hypocrisy is par for the course with this guy…

Impossible not to give it to Maldonado on his maiden victory.

A near faultless drive, including substantial pressure from Alonso towards the end. Both were conserving tyres and aware of Räikkönen closing […]

Senna (or anyone else) is allowed to “move in the braking zone”! In accordance with the rules, he made one defensive move (very slight: not even a car’s width). Strangely, Schumacher made no change of direction at […]

Brain freeze is a very good description. I teach motor racing and I was considering saying precisely this in another post a moment ago. He committed himself from way back, apparently without planning his move […]

Eh? Senna doesn’t have to be “concise” with his movements, so long as they conform to the rules!

Whilst, Senna may not be the best driver on the grid and is still a bit wet behind the ears, Schumacher took no […]

This is absolutely the right decision. Since Schumacher decided to make reference to previous incidents which have no bearing on this particular misjudgement (it is a travesty to call it “an accident”), I will […]

A very good article, Keith.
You’ve highlighted the most important aspects of the situation and demonstrated the implications of alternatives, whilst making good reference to history and what racing is […]

I am quite certain Rubens’ days in F1 are over.

However, one must admire his optimism and desire to return, especially when considering the rather obvious conclusion that he would most likely be a firm ‘number […]
