F1 Fanatic

Shortly after that, another Lamborghini spear into the armco at the opposite side, which brought out the Red Flag. Myself and @Ajokay were there watching the marshalls rebuild the barrier.

@RumblyLizard (Sam White above) clearly had the best view of the lot of us, his pics during the weekend were quite insightful.

I’ve read a few quotes stating that it’s in Pirelli’s contract that they can ask any team to do 1000km testing for them. If that’s the case then maybe Ferrari/iRBR are just miffed that Pirelli didn’t ask them first.

Same. The first half wasn’t all that great but it started to pick up after the first Safety Car. Some good overtakes and the race wasn’t all about tyre wear or DRS. Not a classic but not terrible either.

A good race ruined by poor DRS zones. It was far too easy and for anyone who isn’t a big F1 fan, it makes overtaking look so easy, and in relative terms it is. I gave the race a 6 as we saw some good battling and […]

While I do like a bit of tyre deg and the variety in strategies that it promotes, I too feel that things are starting to get a little out of hand. Credit to Red Bull on the strategies they employed though; it […]

I really enjoyed this race but reflecting on it, I would give it an 8 out of 10. It was really interesting strategy wise and it was good to see some battles for the lead. It would have been nice to see Alonso and […]

For me it was Jules Bianchi. He massively impressed me. I just think he blew away his closest rivals and I reckon by the end of the season he will have definitely scored a point.

He just seems to have a very […]

This sounds very much like McLaren have decided to make a worse car so they can develop it over the course of the season. Hopefully for them that means that the end product will be better than if they just stuck […]

Yes, Formula Renault 3.5 used this system for their adjustable rear wing last season I believe.

A1GP also had an allowance-type system where you had just eight KERS-style boosts to use during a race. On-screen […]

I wish they’d just drop the zones altogether.

Give every driver 100 seconds of DRS use to use as he sees fit during the race. The DRS would still add excitement to the ‘show’ and we’d have a fairer system that […]

I think it’s hard to look past Red Bull really. Vettel with his 3 championships in a row and Webber with multiple wins. I think Mercedes have a good team too but it’s very difficult to judge Rosberg at this point […]

Rubens Barrichello has done double that in races only.

Red Bull – “If we keep saying we have got less pressure and are more relaxed we will have less pressure and be more relaxed. Keep saying it. Keep saying it! Seriously keep saying it!!!!!!!!!”
