F1 Fanatic

Yup, not very exciting indeed… @gilles

@gilles Yup, not very exciting indeed…

Oups, Costa = Stella of course, sorry for going back in time!

@keithcollantine Very interesting, thanks for that.

There’s a confusion for the messages between F. Alonso and A. Costa on lap 46: first, Alonso says
“I had to avoid the collision” to Costa and then Costa […]

@Yobo01 Yes, he benefited from race conditions indeed. But it does not mean he did not drive well; and you could say he was first unlucky to start where he started due to his team’s poor strategy… I liked his pace.

@vettel1 yes, I think you are right. What I meant was rather than the situation between VET and ROS could have been just inverted if the starting positions had been…

Hi!
Seems weird to me that Paul di Resta gets so few votes. I think it was his team’s fault for the qualifying position and not his. And then he had a very strong pace during the race and made some pretty good […]

@cyclops_pl but then one thing I don’t understand: they said that 90% of the test concerned tyres for next year, and only 10% for Montreal. Next year cars will be different from this year, as 2011 were for that […]

@keithcollantine That tends to be my view, too.

Sure, @cyclops_pl, Mercedes was foreseen to be very strong at Monaco, and they were. It’s no surprise they won and probably not related to the testing (though, as VET pointed out, it probably did not harm them; […]

Actually, I agree with what you say, you have points here (I wasn’t sure about how much datas the team gets). As to whether they asked other teams, we do not know so we’ll see but given the reactions, it seems […]

Hi! This testing is a joke. A number of questions:
_ How come didn’t Pirelli choose at least 2 different teams to test with?
_ Why didn’t they choose small teams with budget issues?
_ Why didn’t they do 200km […]

Sure guys, nice answers. And maybe I should also blame SCH for the bad weather I had this year… Incredible how blind supporterism is. Getting back to the matter at hands: the situation seems very clear to all of […]

I agree Monaco racetrack yields procession. But still, a procession going 2s faster is way more impressive. You can drive around any track; if you do it at 20km/h or at 160km/h, it starts feeling very different…

Hi,

Well, I think it’s crystal clear and that’s F1 today. Most of the time, we watch “car caretakers” (or “tyre caretakers”?) instead of racing pilots. There’s always been a strategical dimension in F1 and I […]

throughout = throughout the end, when he did his fastest lap…

A typical Monaco race, pretty boring for me (nice images, but apart from that… the most thrilling part of the Monaco week-end for me is the qualifications).
But what kind of race did we get? How come VET sets […]

This is complicated to predict, as winning in the rain does not depend only on the driver but… on the rain, too! I mean, at which precise point in the race it rains or not and with which intensity.
Just […]

+1

agreed on the camera work, pretty disappointing lack of progress…
