F1 Fanatic

One strange fact I noticed after looking at the points table is that there are more winners in the rest of the table than there are in the top 5. Can’t expect that’s a regular occurrence. Indicative of consistency […]

Surely the engine, the aero, the strategy and most importantly, the driver’s skill all play into the longevity of the tyres. I’m not getting my hopes up but this season has the potential to be the greatest in […]

Unfortunately I think the first solution to less exciting qualifying attempted will be qualifying points which I personally hope never touch F1.

Unfortunately I have to agree.

Ugh.

And this season had such potential too ;)

Seriously though hoping beyond hell we get a competitive 2012 race rather than a return to the 2011 boredom.

9/10. Had to take off a point because in the end the pit lane mechanics twice ruined what could have been big factors in an even better race.

Such a disappointment for Perez, obviously Ferrari couldn’t have caused his off but it’s so ugly that that engineer came over and said what he said when he did.

It’s a fickle old sport is this. These fairytales […]

I just went on a search and the first one I could find was Jacky Ickx but he only barely makes it in with one race for McLaren.

I was tempted, don’t think I wasn’t! :D

Times like these I have to admit to being a hypocrite… and loving it.

Button drove a Vettel-like race and I have no problems. Pretty much my only issue was that yet again (almost all) the cards fell in […]

Can we take bets on Vettel’s chassis name? I’m guessing Nosey Nellie.

I’ll be completely honest, I couldn’t tell the difference in the livery until I went to Google to check. I see the difference now but be it 2011 or 2012 the livery looks boring as hell. Half black, half white just […]

The two Australians?

That’s a shame

How would winning the championship over 5 (or even 6) other champions devalue it? I would think that would be one of the most impressive championship efforts ever!

And right off the top of my head i’d suspect […]

Haha good point,

Who’d have put money in 2005 of seeing a race (let alone a podium) with Alonso in a Ferrari, Raikkonen in a Renault and Schumacher in a Mercedes.

I think this is a stat that really needs to be put to bed or officially adjusted. The tenth point for a win and points down to 8th etc. were things that could almost be passable when comparing early F1 to modern […]

How separate are the two sides of the garage though? Does Ciaron Pilbeam have more allegiance to the team as a whole or his driver? I’m just wondering if they did keep it secret from all but Mark can’t one of his […]

Yeah I turned off before they all crossed the line (it was 4am over here). Thanks @F1fanNL for filling in.

Vettel’s playing on easy mode and it’s just been a sad year. Might have to give it away depending on […]

It does seem awfully hypocritical of PM as when this whole thing was first announced I’m fairly certain he implied he couldn’t afford the 50 odd dollars it would cost to get a set-top box and watch the ONE HD coverage.
