F1 Fanatic

bridgestone tyres , no kers , no DRS was the most boring period of F1 ever !!

unfortunately that isn’t true …by the end of last season the tyres were adjudged to be too conservative [ remember all the criticism ?] and needed changing ; what seems to have happened is that pirelli didn’t […]

F1 cars are continually evolving , tyres need to change with them
they will have to be different again next year

it’s also patently not true

the more fragile pirelli’s won’t arrive until canada , until then we will have the more resistant carcases

I first saw that video at the cinema the week after the race , thought it far better than the film my parents took me to see , can’t even remember what that was after 63 years !
didn’t actually get to see a race […]

lets hope we don’t have another michelin at indy situation

I didn’t see what happened to hamilton’s tyre , but I saw massa’s and they both looked deflated to me

just watched the new BRDC formula 4 races for the first time … limited number of tyres for the weekend’s 3 races
saw interview with winning driver of race 3 ….said he saved a new set for the race and it paid […]

yes, revert to what you call a proper formula and watch the viewing figures drop even more ; have you not noticed the move to pay TV ?

and ticket sales down ? no recession where you are ? looked at ticket prices lately ?

well , I didn’t see this , but has nobody noticed that most of the razor sharp debris comes from front wings ?
if I had my way front wings would be no wider than the inside of the tyres when wheel is in the […]

the medium prime tyre was clearly just right
the soft option tyre too marginal …but the problem is that there can be only 4 compounds and the soft will be fine on most tracks it will be used on , […]

tyres that allowed drivers to push 100% never existed , and never will exist

wets are of a bigger diameter to raise the car

much as I like the look of the red bull pairing , not liable to be a better car this year , I have to go for mercedes

hamilton , as even alonso admits , is the fastest driver in F1 …and rosberg the most […]

I get the impression that most of the people here have no experience of managing a team of well paid experts
first thing you have to learn is to judge what is most important to each individual , and beyond a […]

as he was kimi’s race engineer at McLaren I imagine mark slade has seen a few victories in his time

with that amount of luck hamilton would have won in vettels car , probably alonso as well

McLaren are a curates egg as a team , sometimes they have a car capable of winning races , sometimes they don’t ; Hamilton has won plenty of races in his time there
but Hamilton lusts for one thing in F1, and one […]

even alonso says he is the fastest ; maybe you don’t think he knows what he is talking about

good drive from massa , but he was flattered by the fact he got through the carnage at the start , and that he had better tyres than any of the other leading cars …starting on new options meant that he could run […]
