F1 Fanatic

As I said before: this is now the FIA Rubber Championship

Yes I did. I didn’t say they were going flat out for the entire race, but for a good portion of it they were, if you review the lap data. Alonso’s lap times in the first and third stint were immense, fairly good […]

How has F1 been screwed up? Kimi and Ferrari proved that you can go flat out with the current crop of tyres. Lotus and Ferrari (and to a lesser extent Force India and Toro Rosso) designed their cars and its […]

Gee, yeh, lets go back to all the cars 1 stopping like we used, where cars finished more or less in their grid position.

I was happy with how the race panned out on Sunday. The structural failures, not so much, […]

The quotes in the article suggests that they’re doing both.

I hope you’re responding to the structural issues of the tyres, not the degradation, Pirelli.

Mercedes has issues with tyres and yet they decide to do a 3 stop instead of 4, like everyone else. That is what hurt Hamilton the most.

This whole tyre thing is a bit too much. Hard tyres that melt like ice […]

GP2 and GP3 there. They feature in European races on the F1 calendar. Worth watching, entertaining, but spec racing is not for F1.

I should probably hold my hands up and say that I am a big supporter of Ferrari, Fernando and Kimi. However, F1 is hard enough for the neutral, casual viewer at times. Imagine explaining this one in a few weeks time!

I don’t think Alonso is all that upset with them…

Not sure if this is a clever move. They’re moving the goal posts and I’m sure that after the race at Silverstone and beyond, there will be many that will be complaining that Pirelli are changing to favour X or Y. […]

It’s actually really simple: you look at how many championships each of them has won, and you note that wow, they have each won three, as has Vettel! Although…then you notice the age at which Vettel managed to […]

Yeah, typical Red Bull! You never see other teams/drivers trying to get someone a penalty!

I’m starting to get annoyed that Jenson is becoming the subject of so much hate not just in these forums but elsewhere (such as the BBC comments).

. . .

I dunno, I just feel that Jenson is being treated […]

Yes, i understand the “black and white”; but something tells me there is a bit more to the story. Either way, what happens remains to be seen.

What this means, is that Button has solidified his control on the team and indirectly ( ie. through means other than telling him directly) forced Perez to rethink his actions for the future. I don’t see Button […]

+1

haha…

Not really a surprise if I’m honest. His stock has been talked up by several people. For me, he’s out grown Lotus now, and will probably be the next man to beat when Newey puts away his pencil and drawing […]
