F1 Fanatic

@vettel1 Maybe he was joking at the time, as with all written media, context is all important.

@kingshark It is interesting to me that Sam Michael took over at Williams when they were going into decline, and here he has done the same thing with McLaren. I think that the Aussie is a great guy and seems to be […]

@sridharbhanu You say that, however, Sauber and FI are having very similar seasons this year, with FI struggling early on, and now Sauber are struggling at this moment. However, the good think for the HULK is that […]

@vettel1 Although I’m not in complete agreeance with your statement that Lotus are trying to rely upon tyre handicaps. I do however feel as thought Lotus is missing something. In the same way that Mercedes, whom […]

@montreal95 If you love Alesi, you’ll love this, sideways in the V12 Ferrari in the Swimming Pool Complex at Monaco in 1992 (Qualy), watch for the replay after too, very nice display of his quick reflexes […]

@montreal95 You are probably right, my choice of words was perhaps not as carefully thought out, I agree, Alesi’s talent was natural, but not effortless.

@gwenouille I think that over time, that it is widely accepted that a lot of drivers fell victim to “over driving” and “pushing too hard”, beyond the capabilities of the cars that they drove. In some cases, this […]

I still can’t believe that Alesi only managed 1 victory in his F1 career, arguably one of the most gifted drivers to have ever graced the championship, the man could steer a jack-knifing oil tanker through a […]

Vettel did 28 laps in total during qualifying where as Hamilton and Rosberg ran 33 laps. All other drivers in the top 10 did 30+ laps. So not only was he quick, but he did in less laps… To me this indicates that […]

That onboard footage of the Renault in Eddie Cheevers’ hands was just evil… It seemed that he had opposite locking going for 80% of the corner… Compare that to the cars these days and that thing just looks […]

Some might argue that he isn’t a champion, hence why he hasn’t hit the wall yet ;)

@DD42 Then explain how Ralph was slower than Michael Schumacher in F1 given that Ralph had been racing longer than his brother?

I was riding on some pee wee 50′s around a go kart track with a group of 250cc production bike racers in Australia. These guys weren’t at the front of the grid either, but they rode rings around me and my mates, […]

@DPQ1234 I remember the long list of drivers in the 90′s that came and went. But from the top of my memory its hard to remember names ;)

Although given a bit of thinking time: Taki Inoue, Gianni Morbidelli, […]

@melkurion I know about his exploits at McLaren, however, I think that Newey feels more comfortable in the RBR environment and has really taken his designs to the next level. Hence why I think an RBR Merc would be […]

I wonder what Newey could do with a Merc powerplant… An RBR-Mercedes mmmhh. But alas, I don’t think that will happen.

Because the Torro Rosso is such a competitive piece of kit compared with the Lotus… Truth is, you don’t know if GRO is better than RIC

Not much to say other than, I agree with RIC

I like the concept, however, why will this work better than the current F1 Drivers Association that have brought around many changes over the years, mainly in terms of safety? Surely having active drivers having a […]
