F1 Fanatic

@jonsan

well there is the overused “we” and “all” that pops up in “every” Internet discussion :).

I think some lament no one like him is on the grid and some are happy there isn’t and some don’t even know […]

@jonsan – Not getting your point. All you’re pointing out is my hatred of Sebastian Vettel, which I would’ve thought would be pretty obvious given my avatar. And at no point did I say I was a “liberal-lefty”; I’m […]

(@jonsan)

I was a lot happier with F1 in the days when the tyre company spokesman was not a bigger star than 80% of the drivers. I’m sure Paul Hembery is a perfectly nice person in his private life, but I’m […]

@jonsan I plead guilty! :P

@jonsan good point actually: overall I like the Pirelli tyres, but I feel that the 2012 ones would be better than these. So in that case, I disagree on that account that they are beneficial to the sport.

@jonsan – lol, that made my day :)

@jonsan Not really. If the tyres lasted forever (like in the Bridgestone days), we would see basically a three-stage race, similar to the two-stage race we had back in 2007-2009, where positions would all be […]

@jonsan oh absolutely again, but Senna’s average advantage in qualifying in 1988 was 0.423 seconds, and 3 times did Senna out-qualify Prost by more than a second.

That is a remarkable achievement against any […]

@jonsan
Lewis definitely enjoyed spraying Graham Norton with *ahem* “Champagne” on his chat show last week…just saying ;)

@jonsan they already ask him why he keeps hiring Webber

@kingshark @jonsan that jump and the gesture in his face has been in my nightmares… I swear a ZOMBIE will come to eat my brain wearing that face

@jonsan

Webber finished the season ahead of Hedfield, 36 points to 28, and also beat Hedfield in qualifying

That he did, but Heidfeld didn’t start the last five races. Over the period they were team mates, […]

@jonsan

No need to be that aggressive.

You don’t have the foggiest idea if he had or not.

Oh, but you do? So tell me then if he had or not. The only thing I know is that I’m following F1 closely for […]

@jonsan where in Spa, I can’t recall that one? But completely agreed on the rest of it, that claim quite frankly baffles me.

@jonsan

If multiple pit stops are what’s desired (and this seems to be the case) simply change the rules to mandate at least X stops per race.

That’s a horrible idea – it eliminates the very strategic element […]

@jonsan I love your post… the most coherent I have seem in ages… COTD

@jonsan – I just think that’s the minority though: in general I find F1 fans to have much more bearable personalities than football fans (of course I’m not saying this applies to everyone though). I’ve seen […]

@jonsan

I think point 1 is quite true… I cannot say anything about point 2, because I’m German and I never really supported Hamilton. But I don’t really get point 3. Except for 2007/8 he always had superior […]

@jonsan – I actually see the last point as blatant racism: I couldn’t care less about nationalities (except if they are Scottish, but even then not a lot) which is why I happily support a German driver yet dislike […]

@jonsan but requiring x amount of stops would eliminate all strategy, which is one of the reasons the Pirelli tyres are as they are, to allow for multiple strategies.
