@goodyear92 I wonder if we might get a glimpse of McLaren orange as an interim livery again, as we had in 1997 (when West replaced Marlboro) and 2005 (after West departed).

They painted one of their recent cars […]

@goodyear92

Last year the McLaren was, without a doubt, the best car. Most of the points loss McLaren suffered came from human errors.

@goodyear92 Monza 2010 and Spa 2012 would be two stand-out examples from recent seasons. No, that’s not many, but this is big boy school and when did you last see Fernando Alonso sticking the wrong wing on his car?

@goodyear92 let’s make a personal bet so… I bet you my new Ferrari (hahhaah just joking), I bet you Checo can make a bunch of podiums before the July-August break, let’s say 4 podiums.

And swell The […]

@goodyear92 I DO know Hamilton is better (of course he is!), but I don’t think McLaren can be thought as a wandering ship now Hamilton’s gone. They have to reestructure the car around Jenson’s drivestyle, I know […]

@Racing fan @goodyear92 @petebaldwin

You need to remember that Alonso was not only screwed by Kimi spinning off in Suzuka (fair play, that’s part of the sport and it was Ferrari’s own choice to leave their only […]

@goodyear92

I wouldn’t be proud of that drive from Lewis or Fernando.

I seriously doubt that. In fact I’m fairly confident commenters like you would be extatic if Hamilton (or Alonso) had done what Vettel […]

@raymondu999 I posted the same thing to you before, but whatever: no one is forcing you to read and reply to those comments so why are you doing it? It’s exactly what Mr. Pitt, I mean @goodyear92 said you […]

Well said @bascb, but isn’t that about average for this season so far? I would have liked to see a battle for the lead, but as you say @goodyear92, Button looks like he would have won it anyway.

I think we saw a lot of tight battles @goodyear92. Between Kimi, Schumacher, Hulkenberg, Vettel, Webber and at times Bruno Senna, then DiResta, Rosberg, Vergne, Ricciardo and Massa were fighting all the way […]

@goodyear92 Perhaps you wouldn’t feel that these were “measly little gender issues” if you weren’t of the sex that has dominated most of the world’s civilisations since the invention of the hand axe. (I am […]

@Snow-Donkey @goodyear92 I do agree and I said that here in yesterday’s round-up. But it might be time for the FIA to start thinking about this and discussing whether or not it should be phased out.

@goodyear92, I was not saying that Hamilton was being impulsive there. I think this was the first time this year where Hamilton let this side of him get the overhand though instead of looking at the big picture, […]

@goodyear92
If Button was awarded a point for every time he has used that excuse he would have been leading the championship by a 100 points or so at this point in the season.

@goodyear92 Don’t really get your point about the tyres. Vettel ran approx. 45 laps on the softs today. As far as I’m concerned the tyres were a non-event today.

@goodyear92 I agree with you, not totally though. I wouldn’t go as back as 2010, last years tyres looked okay, leaving drivers the opportunity to push for a good amount of laps. On some of the slow motions of […]

@fer-no65, @goodyear92, I’ve tried to compose a suitable response below, but I see I’ve fallen a few paragraphs short ;-)

@goodyear92,

I think any Lewis Hamilton fan would be willing to admit, his performances in those seasons were below what we had come to expect from him

Actually, I think 2010 was a very strong year for Hamilton; […]

And that, my friend, is the longest post I’ve ever seen in F1Fanatic.

Congratulations, @goodyear92!

@goodyear92

I wonder how many people who have no appreciation for his drive are Hamilton haters…

I’m not too sure what you’re alluding to there mate, but I’m no “hater”. And it’s not that I don’t appreciate his […]
