F1 Fanatic

The Lotus was the fastest in race trim – but some brilliant defensive driving by SV ensured the victory was his. Driver of the weekend by a mile.

you can thank Pirelli for that. Lotus were just ‘getting their tyres to work’

No wonder Schumacher is disillusioned enough to speak his mind

sarcasm clearly missed.
Also, I’m baffled that most think the move is perfectly legitimate. What happened to leaving a car’s width?
Yes, Hamilton chose to pass down that side – but he was already level with […]

no footage, but i don’t think so. His and Vettel’s last gasp quick times came on a much improved track on the mediums.

Return of the dreaded finger!
Was a great lap though, both Red Bull drivers looked quick and only a speedy Hamilton could split them.
Was slighty (rather) annoyed at Brundle and Croft’s constant lavish praise of […]

There is a balance to be found – it’s NOT about just driving flat out, 100% of the time around the circuit. Racing is about understanding the limits of the car, the tyres, and pushing those limits while remaining […]

It wasn’t dull at all. You can’t expect wheel to wheel racing for the entire gp. Instead like most f1 fans, we enjoy watching each driver and team attempt and rethink different strategies on the fly. For example […]

dear god I hope you’re not an aussie. I love Mark and have at times despised Seb, but please stop spouting rubbish

And I strongly disapprove, but that’s life I suppose. I can only imagine the results from a similar poll on F1 Fanatico.

If the race goes ahead in Bahrain I imagine it will be the new track with that dreadful new middle section?
That 2010 race was possibly the most boring affair I have ever watched.

Oh, I’m not trying to pick apart a conspiracy here. I’m just seeing that still people vote with their hearts rather than their heads. Different race or not, as amazing a drive Sergio put in on Sunday, Fernando’s […]

I still think it’s amusing that Jenson drives the fastest car on the grid to victory and is measured as flawless, while Alonso drags a midfield car into the same position a week later and wins less than a third of the votes.

To Aussie Fan – please be quiet, you’re making the rest of us Aussie Fans look like fools.

Good on Narain for standing up and hitting back. I suppose in his favour in the public eye, not many people are going to be on Seb’s side, even though technically NK did move over a little coming back on the […]

Yeah, look, Sergio was amazing, and I expected him to win this, but let’s be honest, this should be Fernando’s poll. There is no doubt that the Sauber was a quicker package than the Ferrari. Aside from not making […]

I wouldn’t call JEV’s jump up the order lucky, when he had to survive on track with inters when there was aquaplaning with full wets.

Please don’t compare Romain to Seb! When that STR was proved to be competitive in ’08 he was not far behind Vettel, and was generally a very clean driver anyway, even when it was a dog of a car.
Besides, I can […]

Er…Malaysia doesn’t produce a ‘bit of rain’, it produces a flood. When the tyres are swimming in the water rather than clearing it, it’s ridiculous to continue. Red flag was sensible, and allowed us to get a […]

Narain’s fault, but the disgusting way Vettel conducted himself afterwards is far worse. I thought he’d really matured as a person in 2011 – it looks like he’s only a nice guy when he’s winning.

I wouldn’t take anything away from the pure brilliance of Fernando. For a simple fan of the sport, one just can’t help but warm to him. I care nothing for Ferrari, really, but absolutely loved the emotion in the […]
