F1 Fanatic

@john-h Thanks for the clarification but I disagree that RBR were dominating at any race this season. In Malaysia Mercedes ran them close(and they were lucky about Alonso too). at Bahrain Lotus were faster in the […]

@john-h, +1 indeed, the lights are on in the FIA but is anyone there?

@john-h, which makes me wonder why they have chosen the softest tyres for Canada !

@john-h +1! I really don’t think the governing bodies have actually been paying attention to what the fans really want: I’m almost entirely certain it isn’t this.

@john-h

The 2004 French Schumacher drive was close to 100%.

Can you prove it ?

if yes i will be more than happy to read the facts.
if not it is and it will remain an opinion.

@john-h
And so what ? what is wrong with that ? The “flat out” can be archived also with 90%…
do you really think that this is the only year that drivers push with regardless to the tires , engine, fuel, […]

@john-h +1 again – my reasoning exactly which I think some are failing to grasp.

@john-h +1!

@jerseyf1 they aren’t the same at all: in 2004 Schumacher I do believe was doing qualifying laps essentailly for the whole race, not nursing the tyres. Also, it was entirely possible for Schumacher […]

Maybe not if we compare it to Red Bull saying about Webber that its his seat as long as he wants to contionue @john-h!

(@john-h)

2 stops with some nursing. 3 stops hard pushing. No Drs. Wider tyres. Less aero.

+1.

Thanks for the update @john-h, and i agree that its hard to like a situation where people are doing their best to save the tyres and still end up with using them up to the canvas.

@dennis, @john-h +1 to each of you! Basically, it’s a lottery into who has the car which suits it’s tyres the best; the emphasis is not so much on who actually has built the “best” car currently.

Why on earth would it be deserved @john-h? Everyone knew the tyres would be changed. Some made the car fit the tyres great or at least good (Lotus, FI, Ferrari), while Red Bull and Mercedes got something right, […]

@john-h
I am a Ferrari fan and other than getting both drivers on the podium I found very little else to get excited about after the first few laps on Sunday.

@john-h

Well then it’s deserved.

No it’s not. Red Bull build a car around the 2012 tyres, Ferrari and Lotus build them around the 2013 tyres. Therefore, Ferrari and Lotus should be awarded for doing the better […]

@john-h what I see there is a Vettel going well beyond the usual turn-in point to get out of Alonso’s way. I think the reprimand was only really because he probably could’ve committed himself to doing that […]

@vettel1

No he was in the racing line, and this is also Fernando Alonso ( watch the declaration of F.A post brasil 2012) opinion.

@john-h

Yes the stewards aren’t consistent.

@john-h it’s too ambiguous to have just a simple black-and-white regulation, that’s why we need so many stewards to discuss whether or not a penalty is necessary!

And even if it was ultimately caused by a puncture, that is NOT how a punctured tyre should behave at all @john-h.

@john-h +1
