F1 Fanatic

@dev – There’s no way Mercedes would wield that kind of power, unless it was written into their contract. The team has been using Mercedes engines for some time now, and as they’ve never had to renew it, they’re […]

@dev I agree. It is pretty blatant and obviously Williams have been taking inspiration from Red Bull’s RB8 floor slots!

@dev

Sauber have signed up Merc engines for 2014; that makes Force India to go for Bianchi & Ferrari engine… it’s jus a matter of time we hear confirmation

The funny thing about confirmation is that it is the […]

@dev

FIA should rather not allow things like Double Diffuser, EBD, F-Duct, Flexi Wings

But the problem is that the FIA doesn’t know about or plan for these things until the teams create them. These designs are […]

Dev (@dev) it would have been very hard to find a driver who can let go track position by changing gearbox which was working perfectly ok only to allow your teammate gain a position / and be at the clearer side of […]

@dev ^ (with reference to your comment). Of course this isn’t reflective of the whole package but it does give a general indication of form (but anything other than the results will never be 100% accurate).

@dev It was necessary. Did you not see the puncture?

@dev, I do agree the teams are very close in performance which is why I am so against these tyres. With the teams so equal the tyres are detracting from close racing and passing because they degrade so quickly […]

@dev, it’s unfair to blame the tyres for the unpredictable…….but if the temperature had been lower Rosberg would have pole….
So it’s actually the weather that’s to blame/credit?

@dev, which certainly attributed to Alonso winning those championships, but the it does support the observation that Alonso would be trailing the faster McLaren until it broke down.

To be fair I enjoyed the race yes I agree with @Dev but if you just forget everything & think about racing then you will find out that this was the best Bahrain Gp ever.

I’m not so sure it is due to being customized for Alonso @dev, but I do think that Ferrari know they have a car that is tricky and hard to drive. Alonso is coping with it to some extent, it doesn’t suit Massa at […]

@dev – Not so fast. It would need to be proven that Mike Gascoyne did not own the parts in question. It would also need to be proven knew that he was using parts that he did not own when he worked them into the […]

@dev – I believe the issue stems from the way Fernandes recruited Mike Gascoyne. Gascoyne was working for Force India until 2008. When he left the team, he joined Litespeed F3, who were bidding for an entry into […]

Yes, @dev, I can see the reasons for getting out of the airline business fast. But that does not make it any less strange, that a highly indebted airline, sailing on the edge of bankruptcy, is putting in millions […]

Sure @dev, let McLaren look for someone better.
I must say, that I do not see too many of those available right now though that would really be a good bet of being better than Hamilton. So I think that even if […]

His 2008 highlight is the scandal victory at Singapore

@Dev Somebody stopped watching the 2008 season before the next race…

@dev

they should have told em that it’s likely that they both will be dropped next year and they should look out for other F1 seats or make alternate plans in advance.

Heaven forbid that they should join another […]

@Dev – Canada is constantly brought up as him cracking under pressure, but Spain and Monaco were similar situations. No mistakes there.

This year, Vettel has had to make the difference on occasions, […]

@Dev – Maybe Alonso, and Schumi in his prime, but some of the others you mention have either had poor seasons where they’ve squandered what they had, shown poor qualifying or race pace compared to their teammates, […]
