F1 Fanatic

I never watched anything apart from the on-track action on Sky last year, and even then reluctantly, because I don’t like their style of presenting. So instead, I think I’ll be quite happy this year with the F1 […]

The UK Government put the squeeze on the BBC in a number of ways, not least that the BBC has to pay for the installation of rural high-speed broadband out of licence fee income, to the tune of at least £300m. […]

Webber gets my vote for his mega catch-up drive

Your poll is a bit confusing because you ask the question “Is it time for Michael Schumacher to leave F1?” followed by “Should Schumacher keep on racing in F1?” on the next line. I almost ticked the wrong box. […]

“Will Lewis Hamilton’s move to Mercedes bring him another world championship by 2015? ”

Does it matter? Winning in F1 is down to so many arbitrary things that it’s hardly a sport, it’s an entertainment, albeit […]

Do you feel the same way about other drivers, or just Hamilton?

Btw, there are other people in that photo wearing sunglasses. Do you think they’re douchebags too, or again are you reserving that derogatory […]

Doesn’t he have his arm around Button because he’s raising his other fist in the air at the time. And perhaps he’s raising that fist because it’s the natural arm for him to raise?
I think it’s wrong to read too […]

Hamilton drove superbly throughout the weekend and ran a flawless race. We don’t know how much he had in reserve, but my guess is he’d have easily held off Perez if he’d got closer. We didn’t see much of him […]

I’d give it a zero, if there was one, because of the behaviour of the fans. To boo the winner on the podium is despicable. If I were in charge of Formula One I’d give Monza a one-race ban to show that this is unacceptable.

I don’t think the issue is whether Sky is happy or not. Why should we worry about them, or the BBC, or Bernie? Maybe this deal hasn’t hurt anyone: ex-viewers will find something else to do, the major F1 players […]

Last year I watched every practice, quali and race, and followed a lot of F1 media, often paying for content. I paid to visit one of the factories and travelled to watch some team testing. My interest in the […]

If I’d had two votes, I’d have gone for Kobi. A good solid race from one of the mid-teams.

My vote’s for Lewis, for rattling Vettel while unlapping, and for sheer entertainment value. He brightened up a dull middle race.

I agree. Monaco is always boring. I was tempted to give it a 1, but gave it an extra point because it’s the only race where you can wander off and make a cup of tea knowing you’re not going to miss anything.

I wonder whether races that are shown live on the BBC will tend to get higher ratings than the ones with delayed highlights? It certainly influences my vote – it’s a much better experience to watch alongside live […]
