F1 Fanatic

Thanks for COTD of the Day Keith :) Lovely surprise!

Not as miffed as I was yesterday, now that I’ve vented. It was therapeutic ;)

I haven’t been the biggest fan of the racing thus far in 2013 and I’m certainly not unbiased when approaching the tyre issue (Ferrari fan) but I feel like this is such an unfair development. I felt the same way […]

Yeah it’s definitely one of the main reasons I’m even on twitter – I love the insights into their personalities and the ins and outs during a race weekend. I love how this article almost presents it as a sub-plot […]

I actually like Alonso’s Samurai tweets. Don’t know why really…
I guess it’s the optimism, the defiant belief that he can still win? And call me naive, but I actually thought he was in charge of his twitter […]

Really disappointing from a championship perspective. Like someone said above, so much talk, so little action from the Ferrari garage. Two curfew breaks, more updates and yet another tweet declaring that it’ll be […]

Think that final shot with Vettel and Alonso says it all. Two of the best in the sport, fighting it out. Hope it can be a proper fight. Alonso battled valiantly today.

@todfod – exactly. This situation is no different to 2010. Even Alonso’s recent comments acknowledge that he’s hoping for Redbull to slip up, or for their car to fail them. He knows the doesn’t have the goods to […]

Yes, I’m not denying that, believe me I remember it quite clearly. It hurt :P

I’m just picking up on the similarity between the situations. His back is against the wall, everyone is counting him out and he […]

Also, I thought Ferrari’s tweet was a little odd. Are they perhaps referring to Alonso’s recent rallies for a more competitive car? No idea, really, just seemed like it came left of field.

Pretty sure Alonso said something similar after Silverstone 2010 too. Not that that turned out any better.

Yeah, I too feel it’s all but over for him. Sad, given the way he’s fought this year. Vettel has been solid when the car hasn’t been perfect but the drives that Alonso put in early in the season were fantastic. […]

I know this is off topic but the state of the driver’s championship battle got me thinking. I know I’m definitely not the first to notice this, but the fact that it’s essentially down to the only double champions […]

@Journeyer – I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said but it seems you’re insinuating that Alonso himself is completely responsible for his failure to win the WDC in the past three years. I think in 2010 […]

That’s what puzzled me by his comments. I wouldn’t exactly say RB are too shabby operationally…

Ferrari have certainly done well, strategically speaking, this year. Far better than last year. But if […]

Have the feeling qualifying isn’t going to be as neck and neck as some might hope. Race will hopefully be another matter – it appears that RB, Mclaren, Ferrari and Merc might have some pace here. Operative word […]

Lol! Candidate for caption competition definitely!

@bascb – Completely agree! Insinuating that he actually needs to motivate Alonso actually made me laugh. Somehow I don’t think Alonso’s ever had a motivational problem (well apart from ’08 and ’09). Especially […]

I love my team but man sometimes LDM makes them hard to support. As did Alonso with his comments yesterday. As hard as it is to admit, the contact with Raikkonen was due to Alonso’s aggressiveness. He got away […]
