F1 Fanatic

It would be good if they can change the tires to make them safer but last the same, but somehow I think the tires are de-laminating because they wear too fast. Not a tire expert but I think these two issues are […]

That is correct, the fastest car is the one that can finish the length of the race first/fastest. But do we want the tires to be main factor of the car’s speed?

Is “asking for clarification” only a Ferrari privilege?

So changing the rules mid season 2011 to slow down Red Bull was OK?

It’s not just Red Bull complaining but they are the obvious target to pick on. And when every change to the cars in the last few years has been implemented to specifically slow down the Red Bulls I understand […]

The problem is that the tires are not “constant”. Lots of stops was expected but have they expected that many? The same compound performs differently on different circuits. To me it looks like the tire suits […]

What about Melbourne?

Before the pitstop he was in front of the front runner you mention. After the pit stop he was behind. It was easy for Alonso to pass Vettel and Hulk because they had a different strategy. Different story for […]

Before commenting on Massa’s performance, people should put themselves in his position. He finished last year on high, beating Alonso in the last couple of races, and probably had a higher expectations from this […]

As usual Alonso fans underestimate the bad position Massa is racing in. I’m not saying that Massa is better driver than Alonso but it has to be acknowledged that Massa is racing with a handicap. With fast […]

“even BEFORE half race” was exactly when Hamilton was within the DRS zone of Vettel. Not being able to build a gap to the cars behind because of Webber was the reason Hamilton came in front of Vettel after the pit […]

So according to your explanation of how thing are at Ferrari, it was Massa’s team the one asking him to let Alonso past him, because that is in Massa’a interest.

I just can’t avoid the feeling that Massa was held back by Ferrari to allow Alonso better position. They pitted Alonso first and left Massa for too long on a old tires to make sure he comes behind Alonso after the pits.

Vettel may have been a bit slower at the start of the season but he was fast when it mattered the most. On the other hand Alonso was the one that failed under pressure at the end of the season when he was slower […]

His PR machine must be working much better than his car. Oh, it looks like I fell victim of his PR too, his car wasn’t that bad after all, but saying something over and over again makes it true.

Has to be Alonso. He’s a Ferrari driver and Ferrari is the oldest and most successful team and as such has the most fans to vote for their drivers. Combined with the Alonso constant complaints about how bad his […]

“Ferrari didn’t capitalize on anything. They were better as a race team operation, they were better in terms of producing reliable car, which is 2 areas where McLaren was worse.”
Can we say now that Alonso […]

This article begins with “McLaren overtook Red Bull as the quickest team on the track in 2012.” I would like to emphasize the word “team” here. Somehow people in the forums tend to separate the team and contribute […]
