F1 Fanatic

@jleigh lol. Ironicly I didn’t see that because of the ads! Well now I know.

Keith, my boy! What if we aren’t bothered enough by the ads to subscribe to anything, yet still feel like chucking a few quid at you now and again in way of thanks/payment/support. How would we go about that?

I’m very umimpressed by the moving back of the tyres at the Nouvelle chicane. Perez’s accident was perfectly forseeable (having happened before) and is pretty much the biggest test that that chicane has had. The […]

Just so long as as they don’t re-lay the damn road flat. I won’t whisper this loudly, but if they quietly produce a wider monaco-type circuit (with the hillside to boot) then I’m quietly excited. But if they tame […]

Hold up. If that’s the actual statement then that says he’s been kicked to the back of the grid for stopping on the inlap, not because of the fuel amount. In that case it’s an even more mental thing for McLaren to […]

The only thing about that is that we would have to be careful about teams diverging to rn on either one compound or the other. You might get a branch of teams going for slower laps and fewer stops on the hard […]

The uncanny thing about this for me is that I was in Budapest not 4 weeks ago, and this is the exact road we walked up from the parliament building to an Irish bar which is on that very corner. And we walked the […]

I don’t think it’s pedantic to point out that this is a partnership, not a sponsorship. It’s a lot less weird when you know it’s going both ways.

IMO if team orders are used to directly affect the order of two team mates in a straight race, then they’re wrong. However, if it’s half way through the race and the drivers are at different phases of tyres, then […]

It’s excellent that FIA are looking at this, but I hope they’ve also got the budget to look at all sorts of other things regarding safety that haven’t just been highlighted by accidents. I like to see a calm and […]

Decision respected. No moral ambiguity for anyone entering.

Re the Scarbs RedBull KERS article: I’m pleased to hear that KERS isn’t as easy a system to harvest and dump as I thought. I think that one of the “mission points” for F1 should be to always be relevant to road […]

Zero? How did I get zero? I’m pretty sure I remember coming in drunk on Saturday morning and predicting something involving a McLaren, Pastor Maldonado, and Michael Schumacher……. Ah, nuts to it. I must have […]

That just made my dinner-hour.

I’ll tell you what: Come back in ten years, and I’ll let you know whether I like it or not.

Which is the same, I assume, as anyone over any of the last 5 decades would have said.

In the end, it’s all market […]

And in NJ the government are actually trying to prevent murders….

Same for me my friend, minus the never having watched it before. As it was on SkyF1 last weekend, and there was no F1 this weekend I decided to stick it on. The first race was poor, but this one was quite good. I […]

That’s as maybe, but the point that some would make is that Narain shouldn’t be trying to follow the racing line considering he was getting lapped.

*isolated or far from the points

I’m not on exactly on the popular front with this either. At best, the incident was 50/50 if you can criticise Vettel for insisting on that extra bit of straight racing line before turning towards the next corner, […]
