F1 Fanatic

Just found out he won gold about twenty minutes ago – it’s been said many times, but he is quite a guy!

Something else tangentially related to F1 is that this afternoon Alex Zanardi will be competing in the Handbike Time Trial in the Paralympics on a circuit that starts off around Brands Hatch!

As was mentioned in comments at the time of the crash, there are several professional drivers racing with only one functioning eye.

I don’t agree with Prost’s reading of how he is represented overall in the film, although I can understand why he interpreted it the way he did – if something is talking about you directly it must be harder to […]

I am fairly sure there will be a clause determining the minumum amount of time BBC have to wait before broadcasting highlights – it is the same with football, which is why Match Of The Day has always been on after […]

I knew this was going to happen – I’ve effectively got to wait until Monday evening before I can watch the race. How am I going to avoid finding out the result first?!?

shakes fist at Bernie

Well I know what I’m going to be watching instead then! Oulton Park is a great circuit.

People like drivers who ‘tell it like they see it’ when it matches what they think about things. When a driver says something they disagree with, it becomes VERY BAD.

If I could get Sky where I live then I probably wouldn’t be too annoyed, because you only need to have the basic Sky HD package to get SkyF1, which isn’t too expensive (for me at least). As it is, I can only get […]

I think @magnificent Geoffrey and @Uncle Bob were being facetious, and in fact agree with you. I do too as it happens. The tires are as they are; people can complain that the tires are ruining the racing and […]

I’ve always been a fan of Sauber, and it’s nice to see that along with Williams they look to have managed to get themselves together as a well-run smaller team able to challenge the ‘grandee’ outfits. Is there a […]

Do you really think his granny could drive the car? Seriously?

What a load of rubbish – everyone has the same tyres so nobody is being disadvantaged over anyone else unless they can’t adapt their style to fit the equipment. If you can’t do that then tough.

Got any evidence […]

Probably just wind

Exactly, she has it so easy racing for six years in DTM – where’s my test??

Under the law of the Internet, yes

This is the first time I’ve seen Godwin’s Law invoked on an F1fanatic comment thread!

Now it looks like I am talking to myself…

Circuits can’t afford to employ full-time marshals, especially ones that operate practically all year round. It wouldn’t be fair to have volunteer marshals who have to sit in the pouring rain for nothing […]
