F1 Fanatic

@prisoner-monkeys funnily enough, Ross Brawn believed that traction control was legal in 1994.

I guess we can only congratulate you on being able to field that bill then @willaim-brierty!

Have a great time at the Silverstone race

@bertie No, I don’t. But I don’t fancy this sort of blackmail will go down well with anyone. Then Ferrari could try anything and everything, but nobody can touch them because they’re Ferrari, and F1 sans Ferrari […]

The test was conducted by Pirelli though, but they used Mercedes cars and had Mercedes bring the drives and most likely at least part of the engineers @jonsan. I am not saying that makes it a clear Pirelli test, […]

not sure what you are talking about there q85.

If you mean the gimmick on the exhaust exit during pre-season testing, that was not something Williams ever intended to use. Its purpose was more to both attrackt […]

@vettel1 That’s a bit er…xenophobic, Max. Would you have reacted the same way if it was British instead of Italian?

Personally I feel the most important thing that can come from this is that the FIA Tribunal will (or will not) be established as credible by a transparent procedure leading to a well argued decision and a fair […]

I have seen that during last week on F1 Technical – a discussion forum – where the guys more or less came to the conclusion its interesting to see, but not them doing anything illegal.

LOL @maciek

Interesting line @prisoner-monkeys

How is it relevant? Red Bull have led the charge in criticising Mercedes. If they are found to be cheating themselves, that’s a pretty serious problem.

Surely it is a pretty […]

It defenitely explains why there was no need for things like DRS or tyres manufactured to last only a 3rd of the race – the cars themselves (and the tyres) offered enough trouble/challenges for the drivers as it was!

It also perfectly shows how the current KERS rules (and potentially the new ones too) are not all that great an idea of how to use a hybrid power train, instead of making it a boost (push to pass button) they […]

That video with Ron Dennis and Jenson Button promises theres a lot more interesting things to be heard.

Funny that “Lotus-Praga” combination. An demised but recently resurrected (although not building cars) Czech luxury car brand and an almost defunct but still in operation sports car company from the UK on one LMP2 […]

LOL @david-a

I would say there’s so much to do, and only a limited amount of hours in the day to do them, so having others take on certain tasks is a sign of the site growing, who knows, maybe in time F1Fanatic will be able to […]

I think you got confused with the I and the Y in the second sentences… this bought is gonna be fun with people etting confused with the names ;)

From Le Mans comes the news today that Lotus LMP2 might not make to the race because some essential items from the team have been seized due to the failure in meeting some conditions on the contracts with a […]

Probably it’s because he is as human as everybody else and needs a break!
