F1 Fanatic

@howard to be honest I think every minor to middle team driver says the same

@howard you meant “car issue” ;)

@howard ‘@N- Hardly “disgusting” or “ridiculous”, when you’ve conserved more fuel and an extra set of tyres for that stage of the race.

@howard

The fact is they finished the race unchanged, yes Mark did have a go but ultimately held off.

But he still failed to heed the team orders (admitting so after the race), like Vettel. Trying but […]

@howard

Mark backed off and obeyed the team.

No he didn’t:

Webber ignored Red Bull’s order not to pass Vettel

@howard

I don’t like team orders, I’d rather see team mates battle each other with fierceness and respect. But I understand them, after all there are teams and a constructor’s championship and whenever we have […]

@howard – disobeying team orders (which is a perfectly legal thing to do) and blood doping (which is a perfectly illegal thing to do) are very different things. By all means criticise his comments (as I have) but […]

@howard
I seriously think that the phrase “set the F1 world on fire” is overused in F1 these days. I mean, why do you want anyone to “set the world on fire”?!:) Of course you literally dont mean that but if you […]

@howard The one with Nelson Piquet? What was so bad about it (I’m wondering, since I didn’t really pay much attention to it)?

@howard

I’m not a fan of Billionaires pushing drivers from their country into F1 purely at others cost.

And I’m not a fan of under-performing drivers keeping their seats for purely sentimental reasons when there […]

And i’m sick of Tilke’s obsession with acute apexes.

@howard , you mean hairpins? he didn’t invent those you know, come to think of it he didn’t design the Austin track!

Were you honestly falling asleep […]

@howard – Then what would be “so F1″, then?

Look, for instance, at this picture. Okay, some landscaping might be needed here and there, but the circuit is surrounded by greenery and you’ve got those mountains […]

@howard I find the idea that races held in European countries automatically get higher ratings a bit bizarre. Particularly given that the European Grand Prix has (this year aside) usually been one of the lowest-rated races.

@howard
I can certainly understand your frustration. It suddenly looks like McLaren are incapable of providing a reliable car (at least to Lewis).
Their dominance at the beginning of the season is however, […]
