F1 Fanatic

It’s also my birthday today ^_^

+1!!!!!

Gah! That tweet from devillota encapsulates everything that’s wrong with this unnatural “push” from some agenda-swathed corners to jam a female-driver into F1 irrespective of their talent, or lack thereof!

I will eat my socks if Jenson is in the championship hunt at the last few races. I think they are better off using their get out of jail card now

@todfod – I think it’s funny that people think it’s as if McLaren […]

hehe

@uan – James Allen also paid tribute to Allison w/ a backhanded compliment to Chester:

While Chester’s credentials for the role are unquestionably strong, the loss of an innovator like James Allison is a blow […]

@bascb – very exciting to speculate where he’ll end-up! How wonderful to be so successful at your profession that there’s such fan and media interest in the next position you’ll assume!

W/ Allison to go where? McLaren or Ferrari?

That would make F1 look like hockey, guys with helmets swearing at each other.
Probaby that would be too much.

@omarr-pepper – exactly.

then military-grade radio encryption should be used

@paul-a – they already do. the problem is that they’re required by regulations to make comms accessible to the broadcasters via FOM (iirc).

<a href='http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/keithcollantine/&#039; […]

Fair enough, but he does realise he is driving a Formula 1 car? A sport in which drivers have journalists poking cameras and microphones in their face the majority of the time and where their every word off the […]

I’m all for this but there should definitely be some ground rules of what is published and what isn’t…

@tmekt – wow, thank god it’s good to hear the voice of reason still on this forum! Like you said, releasing […]

“the goat has seen the hedge” ;)

@andae23 – “and the swordfish has sailed at midnight!”

Personally, I don’t think teams should have to suffer the discomfort of having all of their communications broadcast […]

I agree, I wouldn’t say it greatly enhances it, it’s never all that interesting anyway, apart from when they’re throwing team orders all over the place.

@ajokay – I agree with your agreeing – radio chatter does […]

@mantresx – agreed. The people who are complaining that they’ll never buy Pirelli tires for their road car because of how the company has “ruined” F1, or b/c their F1 tires aren’t durable so the road tires must […]

@jackleslief1 – I’ll say this for your writing, at least it got me to go to youtube and watch race highlights from Monza 2012 so I could hear just how bad the engines sounded! lol… Hope that 2013 is a great year […]

I agree with you about the tyres. I, for one, would much rather have the current tyres than go back to the old Bridgestone-style compounds.

@magnificent-geoffrey – me too! Plus, the racing these past three years […]

stop whining.

@kcarrey +1!

hehe!!!

first thing that came to my mind is “What Could’ve been”

@puneethvb – life is a lot more enjoyable when you don’t go through it focusing on the negative in others (and yourself)…

I really love these snapshot-timeline thingies.

@wsrgo – me too. in fact, I’ve told @keithcollantine on numerous occasions that the photo features are perhaps my favorite aspect to the site!
