F1 Fanatic

That video makes me long for the Spa of old. No parking-lot run-off at every corner…

Good to see F1 drivers played just like I did at 5! Just replace the F1 cars with Indy cars and you have my childhood right there.

Formula 1′s only Asian failure (so far) is the Turkish Grand Prix

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the Pacific Grand Prix at Okayama an Asian round? That failed after 2 years?

It’s interesting that you mention the vintage footage. I know for a while Indy Car was uploading vintage races *in their entirety* onto their youtube channel. Seeing races from anywhere from 1982 to 1992 was a […]

Yeah, that was gutting when they pulled the free streams. It seemed like such a smart move on their part. The commentary was from some sort of radio broadcast and it went in and out with commercials, which meant […]

I think some wistful contemplation is entirely normal here. After such a long relationship with the team and 6 years racing for them at the top echelon, I’d be looking back with bittersweet feelings, too. Now, […]

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not an Alonso fan. But as much as I dislike him, I have a lot of respect for his ability. Even I can’t deny he drove far and above everyone else both in quality and consistency this year.

Maybe I’m seeing a different Alonso, but I’m not sure how he can say he has “charisma in spadefuls.” From what I’ve observed, Fernando rarely seems to smile, expects to be placed on a pedestal above his teammates […]

If it weren’t for that final safety car, it would have been a 10. But my jaw was on the floor for the first half and my nails were in my mouth for the second half!

@bascb 30 car grids would be a beautiful sight! Although some tracks would need to seriously consider extending their pit lane…

Same here… :/

I know it’s kind of silly, but I’ve partly become a fan of Pic because his last name is a homonym for my last name. He’s the closest I’ve ever seen to a professional driver sharing my name! X)

Since the question was “which was the best circuit” I voted Long Beach. Watkins Glen’s layout may have worked back before downforce was such a huge part of F1, but I’ve always found it uninspiring, truth be told. […]

“See, in German, this is what **** means, that’s why I let it slip.”

I know I’m going to be in the extreme minority here, but the lack of respect between drivers ruined the race for me. I want to see hard driving, but I want to see fair driving. This looked more like amateur hour […]

After so many run-ins with Lewis Hamilton in 2011, Ferrari began to experiment with alternate materials to keep replacement part costs down.

But consistency is part of the game. This isn’t an argument about who’s the faster driver, it’s about who’s the better driver overall. And if you can’t bring it home in the points consistently, then clearly […]
