F1 Fanatic

@vettel1 It won’t, “safety” was just the line of defending their pressure on Pirelli for Red Bull and nothing more. If there was a real danger, changes could have been made instantly without teams’ consent. They […]

Give the man a bloody medal.

Yeah, let’s investigate the obviously legal test with an old car, without regular team drivers or for that matter the regular racing team. FIA, are you bored?

Oh so that’s what it’s all about. All the fuss is about kicking Mercedes. Seems legit

Rosberg, no contest here.

@js

This is exactly the thing which doesn’t add up in Hembery’s explanations. The in-season test is for emergency reasons, thus it is done to test current tires. That’s why they use a current car. Using old […]

So the super-secret tire test row is basically down to whether they asked other teams to participate or not. Pirelli says they did, a year ago, some teams refused, some didn’t even reply ( […]

Pirelli also asked other teams to perform such test. Including Red Bull. They refused…

I’m agreeing with the Horse Whisperer. The world is coming to an end.

@verstappen

As it was said before – Force India already signed long-term agreement with Mercedes.

I tip Sauber.

I’m pretty sure the article of regulations saying you need to have permission from all teams to change tire specs mid-season was somehow circumvented. Ferrari and Lotus would simply block the changes if they had […]

Bernie says “Bend over”. Pirelli does.

@guilherme

2005 US GP – Micheline’s were dangerous. Current Pirelli’s are just irritating for some, easy to handle for others.

@jason12

Please, enlighten me, what killer instinct are you talking about […]

And one other thing. Couple interesting numbers (please point out any errors, I tried my best not to make any):

Spain GP 2011: 1. Sebastian Vettel, 4 stops (laps 9, 18, 34, 48). Overall 77 stops in the […]

By the way. I can see people here who were happy about downforce being cut, giving us better racing post-2011, and now criticize Pirelli for bringing tires which effectively prevent returning to the same level of […]

Same time, next year.
Mateschitz “This is outrageous. How can they make those straights so long. Tracks demanding straight-line speed are abominations. F1 is not racing anymore. FIA should think about what […]

This.

If I could I would have vote for four drivers ex aequo: both Ferrari drivers, Raikkonen and Gutierrez.

- Alonso for commanding performance and masterpiece maneuver on Raikkonen & Hamilton
- Raikkonen for […]

+1. Spot on. Tires are the common factor for all teams, it’s not Pirelli’s fault someone messed up their design so the car devours tires. Red Bull built a car around the concept of regaining 2011 downforce level […]
