F1 Fanatic

Well, they did. Bruno signed on with Williams knowing that his contract stated he’d only be driving 5 FP1s this season. Fair or not, he was aware of it going in before testing even began.

That’s a fact, is it? So how do you like working for a team like Williams, then?

Agreed. The irony is almost overwhelming.

Well, you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, I’ll give you that, though I don’t agree with it (and rarely have in the past). I’ll just say that by the yardstick you’re using here, few drivers currently on the […]

While he always will live in that shadow, no matter what he does or how successful a driver he ultimately becomes, I wouldn’t say he’d be “better off” leaving F1 and defining himself some other way. The fact that […]

Fair points, though I’d say it depends greatly on where you look. I only participate in a few F1-related communities online; here I’d say is relatively neutral on him, another is quite positive, and another can be […]

Heh, too true. F1′s memory is extremely short and just as fickle. Always has been, really, but especially these days.

I have a feeling just about any driver in the past that’s shared a name with a famous driver that came before them has dealt with what Bruno does now, at least to some degree, but in this case, obviously Ayrton is […]

I think I’ll always wonder about that, but it’s out of his control and already done, so it is what it is. Considering what a sharp learning curve he’s had, he does have a tendency to be a bit sloppy at times, but […]

It never ceases to amaze me how short and fickle a memory F1 can have. Then again, this is Williams we’re talking about, so I suppose I shouldn’t be all that surprised; they have a pretty harsh history with their […]

Second. Melbourne was the only other one he’s had so far.

Given that Senna beat Maldonado here in GP2 2008, I’m not sure that’s the fairest assessment, but to each their own.

@Mike First I’ve heard of that, but if true he must have been late, since he’s definitely in the photos.

@ivz Apparently not. I’m frankly amazed they’ll have him driving it.

@Mike
I doubt that very much. He’s generally regarded as one of the most approachable drivers in the paddock, and does a lot of PR for both his team and his sponsors. Which Melbourne shoot do you mean, out of […]

I hate to see that, even if it is only one weekend. F1 is a fickle sport sometimes though, and moves on quickly.

Right now, I’m a bit more concerned about the fact that Bruno will apparently be racing the same […]

Just googled to get a look at what you mentioned, and that actually looks more promising than other suggestions I’ve seen, at least in theory. Not being familiar with NHRA though, I’d then ask this: how are the […]

I really loved the battle Pastor and Senna had for the Monaco feature race in GP2 2008, and I agree, it would be great to see them both get some great results there again. It still seems a bit unclear just how […]

Agreed. He seems very positive about the team despite his troubles, and hopefully he can go on to shine a bit this year as well.

It was nice to see that one of them did, at least. Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t Schumacher.
