F1 Fanatic

It was a stunning drive by Senna in an otherwise far from impressive car.

Also, is it just me or does anyone else think cars back then were a lot more elegant than they are today?

The correct question is: are teams right to use team orders?

Alright, you didn’t twist anything. Still, I have to say you have a strange way of judging what takes balls. :)

I mean, one guy has balls because he asked for a problem to be solved for him. Another guy doesn’t […]

Yes, of course, if you don’t like the explanations as to why it’s “any different”, you can just ignore or rationalize them.

Also, I don’t speak for other commenters here, but I’m not defending Webber. I’m […]

The difference is that he did over the radio during a Formula 1 race watched by tens or hundreds of millions of people. The difference is that he’s a three times world champion, so you’d expect that he doesn’t […]

Oh, yes, you twisted his meaning. He didn’t say “I will not be held back”. He didn’t say “no” to his management. He said get the guy in front of me out of my way. As I’ve said, if you’re “your own man”, if you […]

Today, many a people lost respect for Seb Vettel. Not many liked him to begin with, but today they are all justified in their feelings towards him. An act of cowardice is what he committed.

I was never one of […]

You’re twisting the facts. He demanded that his team get his team-mate out of the way. If you’re “your own man”, you don’t ask your team to play favorites.

Yeah, he showed character. A miserable character, but a character nonetheless.

“We have the most downforce, but the tyres are punishing us”… more like “We put so much emphasis on downforce that we’re starting to have problems making our tyres last.”

Yeah. He’ll probably be aiming for Hamilton. Unless Hamilton aims for him first :))

McLaren Honda? Oh, yeah!

I thought not having an F1 driver in over a decade would be a much bigger letdown. The last two Argentine F1 drivers (that I can remember), Esteban Tuero and Gaston Mazzacane, didn’t exactly impress, but least […]

I agree regarding the Ferrari; it’s not as ugly as the 2012 car, but far from being good looking particularly around the front of the car. However, for some reason, I absolutely love the “dent” in the Sauber’s nose.

:)) That’s the perfect description for the Red Bull livery if there ever was one.

For me it’s either the McLaren or the Sauber. I also like the Marussia. You’re absolutely right about McLaren usually having the best looking car.

You’re welcome. Coanda is one of those early aviation and aerodynamics pioneers that doesn’t get as much attention as he should, partly because he’s not American, British, German etc., partly because there is some […]

For anyone interested, the Coanda effect takes its name after Romanian aerodynamics and aviation pioneer Henri Coanda. The effect describes a jet of fluid’s tendency to “stick” to a nearby solid surface. Coanda […]

There’s still the matter of Newey who was only a 19 year old, first-year university student in 1977.
