F1 Fanatic

I’ve been following F1 since 1996 or 97, and, I think, that overtaking in a Formula 1 car has allways been harder than in other open wheel category. Historicaly there have been some times where pilots struggle […]

Personally, I think that Mansell is a good shout, he was in an incredibly strong era. Ditto Hamilton.

I know that I’ll get pilloried for this, but I think JV is a reasonable contender. Yes, everyone always […]

I think Todford is the winner. REALLY! funny mate.

Rosemeyer (OK, he won the European Championship, but still).

Not that I’m putting the Canadian up there, but I do wonder, what if Villeneuve stayed with Williams, perhaps moving to a top team (i.e. Flavio. How […]

My vote goes to Mansell just on the numbers alone – retired as the 3rd winningest driver in F1, close calls in ’86 and ’91 and it took a truly unbeatable machine for him to get there.

re: Andretti – I’ve […]

Bernie: ’When I was your age this was all fields’.

@vettel1 – As well as the weight of the ERS, the weight limit will also increase due to the requirements of intercoolers and the other turbo ancillaries that the current cars don’t have. I agree that it would be […]

Who cares?

How I wish we could go back to the days in the early 90′s where teams could choose to run either a V8, a V10 or a V12. I know the world has changed and the emphasis is on smaller, more “relevant” technical […]

@prisoner-monkeys no I can understand that and I think the power train itself should have a minimum weight absolutely, but the 640kg we have now is excessive I feel and doesn’t need increasing. I do believe the […]

It surely has to be Nigel Mansell, 5th on the all time winners list and plenty of standout performances. Though unfortunately I never saw Mansell drive live in a race. The other names must Raikkonen and Hamilton.

Only 3 names come to mind Raikkonen , Mansell and Hamilton.

Sorry, it’s a spur of the moment sort of thing:

“One day, when the supply runs out, Bernie will likely fritter to dust on camera during a grid walk, but today it’s smiles all around as everyone celebrates […]

@vettel1 – It’s because the ERS devices are actually going to weigh quite a bit. KERS currently weighs about 20kg, and that’s going to be completely revised for 2014 so that it is constantly providing power. On […]

Yeah, I was expecting Mansell to be a majorities vote, and rightfully so. Raikkonen and Hamilton are up there too, though not quite on the same level as Nigel yet.

Jochen Rindt, I don’t know much about him, […]

little girl in white to ecclestone ” I hope youre not jimmy saville, are you?

The only thing I strongly disagree with in these rule changes is that the weight limit is increasing: if F1 really wanted to drive effecient technologies, why isn’t the weight limit going down (as it is probably […]
