they will have to make a decision on what they decide

I couldn’t have put it better myself.

I was going to vote for Alonso, but I knew he was going to win anyway – he is currently at 63% – so I voted for van der Garde :)

Sebastian Vettel is leading the Drivers’ Championship and Red Bull are leading the Constructors’ Championship. Why are they complaining so much? Do they really think it is their right to win every race? If they’re […]

“Koiranen” appears three times in this article with three different spellings: Koiranen, Koiranan and Koirainen :)

I wouldn’t mind seeing only ten teams in the sport, so long as the one leaving is Toro Rosso, and not Marussia or Caterham. I’ve never been completely comfortable with the concept of junior teams, and it would be […]

@Gaz, it is not just hindsight. My immediate thought after the first failure was that he should avoid using it until the lap of his next planned pit-stop. That way, if it failed again, he wouldn’t lose time having […]

Yes, that was a remarkable performance from Vettel, even by his high standards. The moves that took him from third to first were very impressive, and further dispelled the myth that he can’t overtake. Once he was […]

Aside from at the very front, we saw more good battles for position in Bahrain than we have done for a long time, so what’s the problem?

Is it just that the teams that have built cars which are kind on their […]

I’d give you an answer, but I’ve already set aside my ridiculous conspiracy theory.

@shaneb12345678910 Sometimes I get tired of that quote too, but then I have an ice cream and all is well again.

@d3v0 – that would be a fair comment had I said that F1 should not go to Bahrain, but I didn’t say that. I didn’t express an opinion on the issue either way. I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. All I’m […]

What does motorsport have to do with politics? Rather a lot. You only have to go back two days to find a round-up on F1Fanatic that starts with a politician’s comment. In this case, it was the Prime Minister of […]

I’m not sure that team orders always racing. It depends on how they are applied. I have much more sympathy with a team asking their slower driver to make way for their quicker driver than with a team holding their […]

The fact that they were so close together strongly suggests that neither man was particularly outperforming the car

It doesn’t suggest that at all. All it tells us is that they were both performing similarly – […]

The penalty for Kimi Räikkönen could be more significant than it appears on the surface if Adrian Sutil is planning to run the same, presumably two-stop, strategy. If Kimi doesn’t get past him in the first couple […]

I think Bernie was talking about introducing some artificial clear skies at one point.

I think he’s been speaking a lot more because he’s been in demand a lot more. Leading the championship does that. Though he does seem more articulate than usual this year.

Not sure about that, but Vettel was definitely making Kimi laugh on the podium. The pair are said to be friends, and it was nice to see.

Twitter has its shortcomings, but this was a great article, and I hope it will be a regular feature this season.
