F1 Fanatic

McLaren can’t raise any objections, they are partially owned by the Bahraini monarchy. That said, I hope protestors don’t deliberately target the McLaren team members or the drivers just because of this connection.

That’s another name which could very well be linked to Ferrari this year… although it’s unlikely for a team to be running two Spaniards at the same time.

It proves that there’s no such things as friends in F1, “if you want a friend, buy a dog…”

Interviewer: “So, Kimi, what are your expectations for 2012?”
Kimi: “…”
Interviewer: “The 2012 F1 season, I mean…”

It DOES look a bit like a crocodile from the side, maybe the Caterham team can have some fun putting teeth and eye decals on the car.

It’s not exactly going to win any beauty contests, but there have been some uglier designs in F1 before… those crazy BMW Sauber F1.06 vertical winglets, the Williams FW26 “Walrus” and let’s not forget the […]

One of the great sportsmen in motorsport, although his chances of becoming champion are over… Hope he gets called back in some sort of advisory or mentorship role, although historically that’s usually not well […]

Being a Raikkonen supporter can be very frustrating, especially if his machinery falls apart (how on earth did his suspension come undone during qualy in Bahrain 2006?), or he trips over a backmarker (like Liuzzi […]

And I don’t think he’ll give the time of day to Ferrari either, seeing how he was pushed out by Santander money (granted, he was given some of that money to leave, but…)

Which Kimi? The guy who fought JPM and Michael Schumacher to the end in 2003, often won races from the midfield in 2005 (e.g. Japanese GP), won 6 races and won the 2007 title by a point over Alonso and Hamilton, […]

Neither will Bruno Senna, who proved that he wasn’t rubbish, even if his racecraft was spotty at times…

The conditions were set up (overstuffed grid, inexperienced oval racers, short track) such that eventually a major fatal accident would have occured, if it wasn’t Wheldon, then someone else would have been […]
