F1 Fanatic

@dvc – But why stick so rigidly to team orders, when the other guy wasn’t doing so? Did Webber have no fuel in reserve (while Vettel did)?

@dvc – He had plenty of time to chase after Vettel. There was the way he had to defend off Vettel after his stop, for starters.

@dvc Since he didn’t chase after Vettel.

@dvc

LMAO! Good one man! That was a good joke ! Got a good laugh out of it!

@dvc – They’re a manufacturer and retailer of high-end fashion clothing. They’re particularly well-known for their scarves (Grace Kelly was a fan), perfumes and silk ties.

+1 @dvc

@dvc, dead right, and that is why manufacturers prefer to spend money in other forms of motorsport where what they learn on the track can be used on the road.

@dvc Well they’re young and motivated. Quite unlike Schumacher, they’ve got a lot to prove. They’re at a point where they have to stake their claim on F1′s future, and that I believe, will drive them forwards.

Watch the next safety car incident, jumping in and picking up the larger pieces is not what the marshals do first. They attend the cars regardless of their position to assist the driver(s).

As @DVC said, when […]

@DVC Don’t worry I was quite long winded when I wrote about it te day after Singapore http://wp.me/p2HWOP-4e

The main points though are as follows:

1) Safety was adoopted formally 1993 with 1980′s […]

@dvc, you misunderstand me, to have customer cars available you must have constructors, I do not mean an off-the-shelf car for everybody, merely that the top teams should be able to supply 1 other team with last […]

My “Exactly” refers to @dvc, post and all his subsequent follow-ups. Young drivers need to earn their place in a top team and having earned that place should be able to keep it until a proven better driver comes along.

@dvc
The idea of the safety car is not just reducing the speed, but to close the gaps between cars, so they occupy a shorter section of the track. This gives the marshals more safety and enough time to clear it. […]

@dvc – the only person that has a realistic shot at 8 drivers titles (when age and other factors are taken into account) is Sebastian Vettel. He is already a quarter of the way and if he continues at that strike […]

@dvc Screw the newer generation? That new generation is more likely to win titles than Schumi. And if Schumi’s continued presence in the sport means denying a future Button/Alonso type, then by all means, he […]

@DVC Now you’re saying that Formula 1 cars are designed to be purposely run into each other. You’re nuts. This conversation is over.

@DVC Taking PEDs is worse than endangering someone’s life? Committing a foul in a football match is the same as endangering someone’s life? I don’t know how to respond to that, except to use your word…madness.

@dvc…”A negligent act would be one where you have made no account of the possible actions of the move you have taken, or there are significant unacceptable risks, and you make the move anyway.”

Sounds exactly […]

@dvc is correct. The first thing I thought when I watched the crash was that you hardly ever see starts like that any more.

I’m pretty sure it used to be a much more common occurrence. I can’t back that […]

As @colossal-squid mentions, it was quite a different age, with less physical demands on the drivers @dvc. And its important not to forget that at the time a lot of the greats in those first seasons of the F1 […]
