F1 Fanatic

@hobo One thing to consider is Hamilton is still new to the team whereas Rosberg is in his 4th year so Hamilton could still assert his authority as the year goes on.
I also think Rosberg is more motivated, as […]

@hobo if the tires are more durable and if Lotus and Ferrari are very soft on Tires, they will do one Lesser stop. We will see races with just one stop strategy too.

But the difference will be all the teams […]

@hobo

What team has won the last three drivers and team championships?

Which team has won the last three Constructors’ Championships? Red Bull. Which driver has won the last three Drivers’ Championships? The Red […]

@hobo – Raikkonen might have had Red Bull backing in 2010, but he hasn’t had it since. It’s proof of nothing.

@hobo That’s fair comment on your part. I think my main feeling these days is that I would actually rather everyone on the same strategies and same number of stops so that we know we are seeing driver vs. driver, […]

@hobo I beg to differ and I think it is you that is jumping to a conclusion if you think Red Bull now has the tires ‘sorted.’ I’m sure they’ll be thrown a few curve balls by these tires yet. eg. last year NR had […]

@hobo I´m not saying that. I´m saying that Lotus should word harder to have the same equipment for both driver, if since the begining of the season they dont have enough money to provide the same car, I don´t want […]

@hobo – fair enough! :) I think in general, we’re thinking the same – the future of F1 needs to be full of overtaking without the need for DRS!

Well if we could give the teams a bigger share of revenue it might be possible.@hobo

@hobo, Ah yes, if only the teams were allowed to innovate, I think we both want the same thing only your view is a practical compromise while mine is wishful thinking.

@hobo – ok so I agree that DRS masks the inherent problem with F1 cars – that you lose a huge amount of downforce following another car closely. It’s something that should be addressed and in an ideal world, you […]

@hobo
+1 Well said agree

@hobo, I agree with your argument but totally disagree with your conclusion, if the following driver had tyres that maintained their performance no matter how hard they were pushed, with skill , luck and a fast […]

I fully agree with you @hobo, that it was sub par performance for Red Bull. But being in contention for the win on several occasions, winning one and getting on the podium as well does not fit Webbers description […]

Ehm, yes @hobo, but isn’t getting on the podium in the first race, winning the 4th race and getting there in others as well pretty far from teh notion that they were “scratching for the podium” in the first 5-6 […]

@hobo … I agree, Pirelli are just following the feedback of the fans and the FIA. All this started with the 2010 canadian grand prix, everyone was talking about how extra pit stops made the race more exciting, […]

@hobo and @girts I hear what both of you are saying.

My issues are that it shouldn’t take for ‘trick’ tires that throw a curve ball at the teams for the first half of the season, to make for an exciting season. […]

@hobo
I don’t think brawn is any kind of example of low spending. When that car was being built by honda they (honda) spent probably more money than anyone before that. The brawn car is probably the most […]
