F1 Fanatic

Oh never mind, judging from the website it looks like the black and gold one, not the green one.

@mnm101 – So Caterham then?

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!

I wouldn’t pay any attention to it until any mention of the situation has come from the FIA. An Italian newspaper isn’t exactly a credible source when the issue relates to Ferrari’s biggest rivals!

If Red Bull […]

@prisoner-monkeys where have I demanded a penalty? That’s rather inflammatory considering all I’ve said is I can’t spot a loophole here – the rule looks pretty clear to me.

The difference for me though is this […]

I think we’re all perfectly sane thank you, hence why we are debating logically and you’re just spouting off tasteless nonsense.

@spoutnik ah I see, yea that’s slightly strange: maybe Horner was just making that comment in hindsight with the knowledge Mercedes used a current car?

@ironcito precisely: they should have Grand Prix in countries where there is significant interest in F1. That I’d say includes France, Finland, Germany, Britain, Spain (while Alonso’s here), Italy and Australia. […]

I don’t want to live on this planet anymore!

Fine, your choice.

They are the worst thing since the black death and should be thrown out with a billion dollar fine.

Remind me again, are you criticising […]

@thebladerunner

Italian publication Autosprint suspects that Red Bull may be using traction control

Therefore, I will ignore every single word it says.

@prisoner-monkeys How is this relevant to the discussion on Mercedes? The technical regulations are a completely different kettle of fish and you know very well that from past history Red Bull are very good at […]

@spoutnik how does that contradict anything in the Pirelli statement I have referred to? Their decision to use the 2013 car is actually in direct agreement with that statement from Horner!

@hohum +1! The test tyres in Brazil were just that – test tyres. They weren’t a finalised compound and there only was one compound. Data is all well and good from a third party but it’s far better to have proper […]

@wsrgo great analogy! The significant part of the whole debate for me is this:

Pirelli did not ask in any way that a 2013 car be used: not of Mercedes nor FIA nor the teams which, during the year, were offered the […]

To me it is completely irrelevant how well they have transmitted all the data they’ll have inevitably gathered into immediate performance gains: what matters is if they gathered meaningful data in the first place. […]

@jeff1s Smart competitors don’t quit in reaction to being punished for breaking the rules – even car manufacturers. Consider the example of Toyota in the WRC a few years ago. Or even Renault in F1 post-Crashgate: […]
