F1 Fanatic

So you would be OK with 2012-spec DRS and tires?

I remember a few years ago (before both DRS and Pirelli) watching lap after lap of cars circulating in position, completely unable to pass. Even if a car was visibly quicker, once it got into the dirty air, it […]

It’s correct, but it’s still a dumb comment. Give Esteban Gutiérrez a fast enough car and he’d make the podium! Paul’s really grating on my nerves with his whining, excuses and defensiveness… it really seems […]

There’s something slapstick about Button’s 2:05 cruise around the track. I’d like to think he was singing Frank Sinatra songs at the top of his lungs while tapping his fingers on the cockpit.

I’m getting tired of the DRS comments. Yes, we have heard you loud and clear: you don’t care for DRS. Find something else to complain about, if only to mix it up.

Ha ha. I had forgotten about that sorry saga.

Hey! I take offense to tha… no, actually, I don’t, it’s pretty much spot on. Come save us from the land of Danica and stock cars, Keith!

I laughed! :)

This reminds me of playground tattling and NBA basketball. A bunch of informants and complainers, with everyone looking like spoiled children.

Exactly. A new challenge and better pay with a capable team. I’ve done the same (obviously smaller scale) in my career, and even if it doesn’t always work out, I’ve never regretted moving on.

Ouch, the FanVision set really shows HRT’s dire financial situation. I’m probably in the minority, but I will be sad to see them go. I’ve seen in MotoGP what small grids can do, and I have no desire to see the F1 grid shrink.

@prisoner-monkeys: I suppose you’re right, if we’re being very technical – I don’t have any insight into how race promoters feel about Bernie.

I did, however, find it hilarious that in an article about Bernie’s […]

“They feel that they trust me and wouldn’t want to let me down” coming from Bernie is hilarious. I can’t think of any person more distrusted by race promoters.

A bit surprised by the timing, too. However, Keith is absolutely right: http://www.formula1.com/inside_f1/rules_and_regulations/sporting_regulations/8688/.

I imagine it goes to McLaren. Crazy policy, but no tears for Hamilton… he’s well-compensated.

Diplomatic response from Hamilton, considering Whitmarsh’s comment. My personal reaction (and I’m sure Lewis’ upon first hearing it) was not printable in this family website.

It’s hard to read a comment comparing Williams and HRT. One has the history and pedigree of a very successful independent team with many famous drivers and championships to its name. The other? Not so […]

Can you imagine how long they would have banned Hunt in today’s F1? I’m guessing for a season… a different time.

Hamilton is doing a lot of stuff that would get a normal employee fired.

Stupidado is a brilliant moniker for our favorite Venezuelan.
