F1 Fanatic

@javlinsharp Drivers will get the points in addition to the other penalties (like drive troughs and place demotions), but you make a valid point in that a driver with a lot of points will be driving very carefully […]

@javlinsharp

@kimberly did not equate the dirty tricks to acceptable behavior in LIFE…

I disagree, for at the highest level, sport is life, and so to celebrate qualities such as lying, cheating and […]

@javlinsharp is correct (for example in India 2011) but for the purposes of simplicity though, in most cases prime is the harder compound and the option the softer compound (so medium and super soft respectively […]

@javlinsharp – perhaps a mixture of both! I would think Merc will win a race though, whereas I’m not even sure Force India will find the podium.

the mistake is in your first assumption @javlinsharp. Teams are not able to do 1 on a bench – its still a bench test, not a real life try out of the conditions on track.
Sure enough teams do a lot of bench […]

@javlinsharp

appear on talk shows like Peter Windsor’s

That’s a very good example, actually – I loved going on Peter’s show but this time last year I had to turn down the chance to do it because I simply had […]

@javlinsharp Fact!

@javlinsharp – Fastets laps aren’t really representative of true pace in the “Pirelli era”. Quite frequently whoever happens to be on the right tyre at the right time gets fastest lap – coincidently it seems none […]

sorry that was meant to be @javlinsharp

@javlinsharp

Owning a track on which an F1 event is held will mean LOTS and LOTS of signage

They’ll have to pay FOM for it though. They might be able to negotiate a cut in the race hosting fee but CVC will […]

@javlinsharp – I was just referring to the example you had set with Vettel & RBR! For sure Ferrari didn’t have all-out one-lap pace, but they were consistently there abouts in the races during mid-end of season. […]

@javlinsharp – KK drives a Sauber! Fastest laps aren’t very meaningful these days anyway: it is more respective of who has the most life left in their tyres, be it due to a change of strategy (which quite […]

@javlinsharp Thanks very much. I’d like to expand on this and go into the differences between qualifying and race pace in more detail but that will have to wait for a later article.

Above all I think it shows […]

@modtl @javlinsharp

I think Alonso’s celebrations were quite funny in sense that they were genuine, always different and most importantly never giving off a vibe of arrogance. It never seemed like saying “In […]

@javlinsharp I think that’s my favorite comment of the day to the point that I think people on this site should all have it tattooed somewhere for future reference.

@javlinsharp Being a stickler for grammar myself, my copy of the Oxford English Dictionary is well-worm to say the least. It defines ‘hat-trick’ as occurring in cricket when a player takes three wickets with […]

@javlinsharp he’s the hipster of the hipsters !

@javlinsharp Ok, your first point is just a touch sarcastic ;)

You pretty much just reiterated my point with your second paragraph though.

@javlinsharp

If indeed, the purpose of the poll is to choose who is the best each weekend, then the answer is clearly displayed on the top step of the podium.

No it isn’t because the drivers all have different cars.
