F1 Fanatic

I would guess that the difference is from non championship races won @wsrgo, because while its always a bit murky with races done due to counting things like weekends participated, qualified, started, started in […]

ehm, this is getting embarresing, maybe its my new keyboard then.

Anyway, have a great birthday @ned-flanders!

repeat offender there, lets finally get this right! ned-flanders

Ha, Flanders fluked (by me that is) there, have a great day @ned_flanders

Happy birthday to all of you guys @ned_flander, Rui Pinto and to @Thed4N1El

No, its a special made, extra hard demonstration compound (the idea is that a team learns as little as possible by using it for these runs)

The sooner Pirelli leave the sport the better in my opinion. – tell me, would you like the F1 teams to then have to buy their tyres in their local shop, or would we all start hoping someone has thought about what […]

In the past it was often the supplier paying for the tyres (that was one of the things Bridgestone mentioned being the reason of not wanting to continue), but nowadays the teams do pay Pirelli for the tyres.

They haven’t even been able to ask Pirelli to continue so far, possibly for lack of the Concorde Agreement @timothykatz!

I did read that Pirelli do already have contracts with the likes of Red Bull, Ferrari and […]

Its a bit of a surprise, and I am curious to learn about all the politics going on in the background of it, but it certainly seems very sensible!

Well, the COTD did a great job of getting the debate rolling on then. I must say I do not agree with it though.

Yes, we had some very memorable races that year. But don’t we have several of those almost every […]

Its in the rules actually @nick-uk!

I’m not saying that Pirelli don’t have a case to answer for. I’d like them to make changes to the tyres, if only to shut everyone up about their durability for half an hour. But the problem is that when they start […]

@nick101 – You don’t think that engines that weigh less than a hundred kilograms are of any value to the manufacturers or road cars? You don’t think energy recovery systems have any practical […]

Yeah, there’s no sense banning KERS. It’s one of the few things that keeps manfacturers interested in the sport, since they can adapt it for use in road cars.

Next year’s regulations might spell an end to DRS, […]
