F1 Fanatic

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

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 […]

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.

Craig Scarborough […]

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 […]

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 […]

I am pretty sure none have a positive balance (if you count out state subventions) and the best of them run at about break-even level.

So you would change artificially making stops from the tyres going off for having a stop to refuel? I really fail to see the added value of that @nemo87.
Drivers will still be told to hold position, to slow or to […]

Lotus mentioned that they went from the data supplied by Pirelli before september 1st last year @hohum, I do not think its just luck, but rather making the right choices (you could say that is luck, but then being […]

Only Murray does not have US health insurance, so he will be turned down by all and every hospital Harper. It might be amongst the countries that have the best facilities, but its incredibly expensive.
For […]
