F1 Fanatic

Well they are only doing it because it benefits them. They aren’t doing as well as they could be doing on different compounds and you could argue that Vettel is only ahead in the Driver’s Championship because […]

Exciting news that Honda is returning in 2015, it’s definitely good for F1. Perhaps more Japanese manufacturers will follow. It will be interesting to see what other teams follow McLaren’s lead though. I’ve heard […]

There is no good reason to significantly change the tyres half way through a season unless its purely for reasons of safety. Red Bull’s argument that racing is now a lot more confusing doesn’t seem to make much […]

It was ridiculous to see Hamilton keep losing places in the way that he did. I cannot understand why Mercedes is still struggling with tyre degradation after 3 seasons of the same issue. How does no-one at […]

@aka_robyn – yes you’re right, I think Vettel gets the short end of the stick a lot as well. And Hamilton faced a lot of criticism at McLaren as @theoddkiwi points out. It’s just irritating at the moment that […]

I have a feeling that this article is going to feature a lot of people having a go at Button for the comments he made in that BBC article, just as they have done in previous F1 fanatic articles. I’m starting to […]

I know Mercedes is being realistic and are doing their best to play down expectations but there’s no reason to be pessimistic. I believe that both drivers have a realistic chance at podiums and maybe even the win. […]

@sonia54 – It doesn’t have to be Button vs Hamilton you know. I support both and it always astonishes me how certain sectors of both Hamilton’s and Button’s fanbase seem to be out for one another. It’s stupid. As […]

The 09 car was really bad and Hamilton did as good as job with it as any driver could have done. You only need to compare his results with Kovalainen to see that Hamilton did a good job just to get the car to the […]

The Daily Star claims Mark Webber has already decided to quit F1.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Not a season goes by without rumours of an imminent Webber walk-out from Red Bull and it hasn’t happened yet. […]

It’s not Hembery’s fault people keep interviewing him about the tyre situation. It’s not even his fault, Pirelli’s just doing what the FIA and the teams told him to do.

Well Jones is a Webber fan, so a degree of hypocrisy is to be expected. But there’s nothing wrong with what he’s said, it’s just biased towards one perspective. You could easily argue that Webber has shown that he […]

@cristian, yeah I know they were at different stages in their careers; that was the point I was trying to make. It didn’t matter how good they were then, all that is relevant is how good they are now because […]

Yeah, he beat Vettel in the 2006 Formula 3 Euro Series. But Vettel beat him in the 2005 series and Hamilton and Sutil wiped the floor with them both. But that was 7 years ago, so it has little bearing on today. […]

I am getting a bit tired of people insinuating that Vettel is a three time world champion only because he has the best car and I say this as an ardent Hamilton fan. Red Bull are an excellent team, and there car […]

2 May 1992!

Apologies, perhaps I should have said that Red Bull are the best all round team instead of saying they have the fastest car. I think that’s fair to say. Their reliability is second to none, the car itself is one […]

I don’t think we will be seeing Mark in F1 for too much longer, though it obviously depends how well he does this season. It’s obvious that Mark biggest problem is Vettel, I don’t think he was able to properly […]

Yeah, I didn’t like how he said something along the lines that she does a good job of taking care of the boys. It struck me as a bit condescending which was a shame because seeing a women on the F1 podium was […]

I feel sorry for Pirelli, I feel like they are always on the defensive which is a shame because they are doing exactly what the teams asked them to do. The variety of tire compounds add a lot of strategy to the […]
