F1 Fanatic

Much like last year, I’ll have 5 post-its stuck to the side of my TV, each with a number scrawled on it. Each time an Audi or Toyota retires, you take one off. At the end of the race, if there’s no post-its left, […]

Agreed, Sauber hasn’t had a good livery since BMW left. Hopefully they step away from this black/white combo they have that just doesn’t work very well. Or at least consider using a darker black.

Well said. I don’t really care for either of the listed technologies, but better online streaming would be welcomed.

On the smaller screens I use for computing, I can’t really tell a difference between a nice […]

@BasCB Problem is, during qualifying at Daytona, there is no “knowing when to ease off the throttle”. There is no “knowing what lines to choose”. There’s no “getting the power down at the right moment”.

You […]

Qualifying on pole at Daytona isn’t really a great statement about a driver’s skill. There’s not much talent can do when it’s pedal down and minimal steering input.

Conversely, racing at Daytona is one of the […]

Then why haven’t they? Montoya hasn’t been particularly impressive, and Villeneuve wasn’t spectacular either…

(Nor was Scott Speed, but he doesn’t really count, does he?)

Lotus is a prettier shade of gold (less brown!) and one stepped nose away from being the prettiest car — and by a wide margin.

Sauber is one Lotus shade of black away from being the prettiest car.

So, Force […]

I find it really hideous, actually. It’s just a single color with a tiny bit of highlight, and that color isn’t a pretty color — it’s a really ugly grey.

Last year’s car wasn’t awesome, but at least it had a […]

As a Heidfeld, and Kobayashi (Alguersuari too!) fan, I’ll be happy to join you in “supporting” Vettel next year!

At least Pastor still has his ride!

I like the idea of 6 GP in the Americas. That’s a full third of the season we can watch at a reasonable time!

Canada, United States, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and American. Make it happen, Bernie!

I’m […]

Indianapolis, definitely. I’m perhaps a bit biased, being American, but it’s our most famous and historical track, and it was immensely cool to see F1 cars racing there.

Admittedly, the track wasn’t perfect, […]

4/10 indeed. Vettel makes Suzuka boring.

So happy for Kamui, though! :D

Not saying nobody did, I just find the difference in reaction to be a bit amusing. As if Wurz is expendable but Alonso is a precious commodity.

Funny that Coulthard very nearly takes Wurz’s hands off — never mind his head — but largely nothing comes of it.

Now something similar but many magnitudes less frightening happens to Alonso and within a day […]

I’ll be watching the two Grand-Am races, next week and the week after at Watkins Glen and Montreal respectively.
The ALMS races too. I’ll probably skip IndyCar and NASCAR though — maybe tune into the Nationwide […]

Agreed fully! Were it not for Michael, there’d be nothing to remember.
