F1 Fanatic

I would guess that the difference is from non championship races won @wsrgo, because while its always a bit murky with races done due to counting things like weekends participated, qualified, started, started in […]

ehm, this is getting embarresing, maybe its my new keyboard then.

Anyway, have a great birthday @ned-flanders!

repeat offender there, lets finally get this right! ned-flanders

Ha, Flanders fluked (by me that is) there, have a great day @ned_flanders

Happy birthday to all of you guys @ned_flander, Rui Pinto and to @Thed4N1El

No, its a special made, extra hard demonstration compound (the idea is that a team learns as little as possible by using it for these runs)

I’m actually surprised that Schumi’s Mercedes made it around the 22 km long track without destroying the tyres completely.

They came in the last race leading the championship over Vettel. They lost the title THAT DAY due to any other reason than Vettel’s bad luck in 2010. I don’t understand what Vettel’s woes have to do with what […]

Still though, you’re getting so hung up on this idea that Alonso and Webber lost the title because of team errors (misfortune), while glossing over Vettel’s bad luck in 2010.

They came in the last race leading […]

The sooner Pirelli leave the sport the better in my opinion. – tell me, would you like the F1 teams to then have to buy their tyres in their local shop, or would we all start hoping someone has thought about what […]

In the past it was often the supplier paying for the tyres (that was one of the things Bridgestone mentioned being the reason of not wanting to continue), but nowadays the teams do pay Pirelli for the tyres.

They haven’t even been able to ask Pirelli to continue so far, possibly for lack of the Concorde Agreement @timothykatz!

I did read that Pirelli do already have contracts with the likes of Red Bull, Ferrari and […]

Not all that sure I would like that kind of racing, but on the other hand, it would certainly be good if they could have such an option, go for it and either fail (still to slow, crash, pit stop errors, or just […]

Its a bit of a surprise, and I am curious to learn about all the politics going on in the background of it, but it certainly seems very sensible!

Well, the COTD did a great job of getting the debate rolling on then. I must say I do not agree with it though.

Yes, we had some very memorable races that year. But don’t we have several of those almost every […]

I got involved because neither of the “issues” Webber had, really affected his ability to win the championship. In Brazil, he wasn’t challenging Vettel anyway. In UAE, as I’ve already said, MW’s performance caused […]

Its in the rules actually @nick-uk!

@klaas

As I mentioned above, there was no way they could execute the strategies since they were flawed from the beginning. They only could work if the other cars went for another pit-stop which never […]
