F1 Fanatic

Agreed, I’ve been pretty neutral to the tyres until this year. I think they do a great job of shaking the field up a little and stopping complete processions, but I do want to see the drivers pushing for at least […]

@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 […]

Or.. just maybe the complainers are the vocal minority and most people thought it was a good race

because they would spin out or just go slower due to less downforce?

Well team orders were illegal back then weren’t they.

I dont think Melbourne was very “random” either considering the top 6 finishers all started in the top 7 grid slots (and Rosberg would most likely be there too if he hadn’t retired.) Surely if it were random we […]

lottery

I don’t think people should use this word when they have no idea what it means.

A lottery in that the top 6 places in the race were filed by 6 of the top 7 qualifiers minus Nico Rosberg who retired?
I agree. Totally random.

I dunno, I’m pretty sure the fastest car was Raikkonen’s Lotus today, seeing as it crossed the finish line first

I think this may have been blown a bit out of proportion. He did a great job, but was only up there to begin with because he didn’t quite make the cut for Q3, and the supersoft tyres were a nightmare today, […]

Its not a contradiction, its a finetuning needed to work in the real world. Therefore, while bodywork is not allowed to be flexible (or moveable etc.), there is a tolerance applied for flexing in the design of […]

The main reason why that analogy is not accurate is that the law explicitly states that you may not kill other people, which you clearly did in your analogy. The rules state that the wings must not flex under a […]

Maldonado really does look fast, but I don’t think that Senna can be used as a yardstick. This is the driver that got outqualified by Christian Klien by about a second after being away from F1 for a couple of […]

Just like it was a given he’d smash Button? You may be suprised

You spent most of last year, and 2010 if I recall correctly bashing Hulkenberg for under performing. Based on his rookie 2010 season in any case I’d say he only did a ‘pretty good job’ and therefore shouldn’t be […]

Well, technically the McLaren was the fastest car this year so Vettel managed it.

You know, when it’s constant and done by everyone from rival drivers’ fans to expert commentators it could be taken as a sign that it isn’t overrating.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Nico will outscore Lewis next year. We’ve already seen Jenson outscore him over 3 years – and who thought that would have happened? Nico is very solid and […]

Incidents on the first lap have always been treated with more leniency than the rest of the race.

@Jayfreese
He started from the pitlane and last (or was Glock lined up behind him?) but there weren’t 24 cars on the grid in 2009 I don’t think
