F1 Fanatic

Yes I did. I didn’t say they were going flat out for the entire race, but for a good portion of it they were, if you review the lap data. Alonso’s lap times in the first and third stint were immense, fairly good […]

How has F1 been screwed up? Kimi and Ferrari proved that you can go flat out with the current crop of tyres. Lotus and Ferrari (and to a lesser extent Force India and Toro Rosso) designed their cars and its […]

Gee, yeh, lets go back to all the cars 1 stopping like we used, where cars finished more or less in their grid position.

I was happy with how the race panned out on Sunday. The structural failures, not so much, […]

The quotes in the article suggests that they’re doing both.

I hope you’re responding to the structural issues of the tyres, not the degradation, Pirelli.

GP2 and GP3 there. They feature in European races on the F1 calendar. Worth watching, entertaining, but spec racing is not for F1.

I should probably hold my hands up and say that I am a big supporter of Ferrari, Fernando and Kimi. However, F1 is hard enough for the neutral, casual viewer at times. Imagine explaining this one in a few weeks time!

I don’t think Alonso is all that upset with them…

Not sure if this is a clever move. They’re moving the goal posts and I’m sure that after the race at Silverstone and beyond, there will be many that will be complaining that Pirelli are changing to favour X or Y. […]

Not really a surprise if I’m honest. His stock has been talked up by several people. For me, he’s out grown Lotus now, and will probably be the next man to beat when Newey puts away his pencil and drawing […]

The race started promisingly, but after mid-distance I found it a little boring and even dozed off for a lap or two. Thankfully it bounced back towards the end again.

There was some good action in the race, […]

It was actually raining in Bahrain last year on race day. However, the rain evaporated before hitting the track because of the intense heat.

That picture of JEV and Ricciardo just makes me think of JD and Turk from Scrubs, “Guy Love”

@zantkiller That’ll probably be unsafe. When the driver hits the brakes, he knows that DRS will be disengaged and will expect to have more downforce, less drag. With all the drivers have to do as it is, it would […]

Unlikely. Heulk is probably off to Ferrari in the next couple of years. Kimi probably staying put or going in to the lion’s cage this is Red Bull.

Not a bad setup, although I reckon DRS Detection point 1 should have been after the exit ot Turn 15. DRS overtakes could be too easy again this weekend.

I personally doubt that, I’m sure he made enquiries elsewhere to see if he could bring his services to other teams, such as Force India and Marrusia.

It was clear that Caterham were going to struggle this year […]

I wonder what Fernando and Mark spoke about…

There’s a fine line between voicing opinions and whinging at every race. The challenge is the same for everyone. The better drivers have figured out to get them to work.

Thank you Kimi, if only the other drivers adopted his “shut up and get on with it” mentality on this issue.
