F1 Fanatic

@hohum

The challenge is to do both of course….

@hohum & @scuderia29
You are both correct, was thinking of the NSX concept they had at Geneva – god knows how I confused that with a Skyline…
It’s either early on-set dementia or the fact that yesterday was my […]

@Hohum Ah, fair enough then. However, there’s still those 20 races and testing to consider.

Interesting question regarding the engines though. I do wonder what the FIA would do if an engine was a clear few […]

@hohum I know that, I did not want to further complicate my already complex argument.
Its not just 60′s, even in the 20′s the Grand Prix cars were being made with aerodynamics in mind. Which makes me face-palm […]

@tmekt exactly as @hohum said – if that were the case, cars would generate so much downforce they’d knock the drivers out round corners and we’d be back to F1 being a martyr – that’s exactly what modern F1 doesn’t […]

@hohum It’s funny, I got a similar response yesterday, people seem to want to respond to a different issue to the one I am raising.

I’m not seeking to comment about the increase or decrese in the pace of […]

@hohum

I entirely agree, my views are nothing more than those of an armchair expert. I was only emphasizing, in my capacity as an ‘armchair expert’, that the tyre situation has been blown out of proportion. […]

You call me a lady, I like you @hohum ;)

I understand both points. Reulations needs a punisment, but If I remember the rule about impeding is old, so is not something that has to be with the actual format of […]

@hohum I do agree that drivers need to be punished actually otherwise the rule will just be abused so yes I concur with you also in that the stewards did indeed make the right call.

However, I do feel the […]

@hohum very good point and very concise!

Oh, and I like how I get an honorary mention to myself – it makes me feel somewhat satisfied :D

@hohum
Judging from the barrage of whining that hit the internet after Vettel did every lap bar the final one on a pair of softs in Italy 2010 I find that hard to believe.
People will always complain about […]

@hohum – So Bernie is trying to drive one of the eleven teams out by offering absolutely no prize money to the teams that finish in tenth and eleventh? Wouldn’t that just drive two teams out?

@hohum – agreed, I would’ve like to have changed my Australia rating for that very reason! The only race I have truly felt was a 10 recently was the Brazilian Grand Prix.

@hohum But if F1 were with just one engine, it would resemble (in some way) the A1GP. Probably the aero part would be more aggressive, but teams would complain all year round! Who could be in charge of a unique […]

@hohum +1! @aimalkhan the teams shouldn’t be lucking-out on points from the fact downforce is hurting these tyres. They should be making their cars faster, not relying on the fact these tyres are far too […]

@prisoner-monkeys – as @hohum has pointed out, they aren’t actually being allowed to develop the engines much at all and the regulations already severely restrict what they can do with them.

It annoys me how […]

@hohum +1 – I don’t see how this is really a factor to be complaining about: Pirelli themselves have highlighted the fact that the soft tyre needs work so making a switch with the mediums is the logical thing to […]

@hohum Actually I think I read somewhere that the engine freeze will be in April 2014, so that’s like 2 races!!

@hohum – Maybe a better car on harder tyres, yes. But not on softer tyres, which appears to be @lifew12 ‘s point. Everyone was given tyre specs and testing time, and RBR was not as nice to the softer compounds. […]

@hohum – this is where we agree: free up engine development (even if they just standardise single turbocharged 1.5l V6′s) and restrict aero – nobody really cares about gurney flaps, we care about a thousand bhp in qualifying!
