F1 Fanatic

I’ve gone VET for pole, ALO for the win. Think the Bulls have got some raw speed, but will struggle in the race. Think this is gonna be ALO’s Sunday drive in the park though. He’ll be on the first two rows, […]

2010 was a beautiful season, looking at it as a season… But race for race it was generally quite dull with the few exceptions of course.

I personally would go for DRS over the tyres. Drivers (generally) […]

That’s a really interesting article. I was talking to some friends (non F1 fans) a couple of days ago about how close the teams run their cars to the limit and they asked me what the fuel consumption was on an F1 […]

And Spa!

Also, why would you want to keep Korea. It’s a horrible horrible circuit in the middle of nowhere with no passion or excitement.

Now I know this’d be pretty dangerous… But looking at the layout and the chicane’s a roundabout. Wouldn’t it be fun if they used the full roundabout and drivers had a choice of going left or right around it. […]

@psynrg totally agree. Lewis brought me back to the sport after ’04-’06 being a bit hit and miss on excitement and he’s kept me on the edge of my seat more than anyone else since. But I really can’t wait to see […]

@N tbf it’s quite a few more than just the one race, more like closer to 20 (at least that’s how many pole – win’s he’s had and this one he didn’t even start from pole).

I would’ve agreed at the end of 2011 […]

I think Monaco/Canada will be his best bet for the win. In Monaco MSC had provisional pole last year and ROS was on the podium, so the Merc should be quick. And in Canada, well it’s Lewis… 5 appearances, 3 wins, […]

I just had a look through all the predictions to see how many people voted Rosberg for pole… There were 4! Going to be interesting to see what the top scores are for the weekend.

That sounds so sweet. I wish I had that for everything, not just F1!

I must say, Merc have surprised me this season. They’re always there or there abouts at the beginning of the season, I just hope that they can keep a strong line of development.

I expect a good weekend for them […]

I guess I really should’ve voted for Vettel, I agree with @fer-no65 that had it been any other in front of him it would’ve been a truly epic drive.

In the end I went for Jenson, which I think might be the first […]

I can’t wait for that. In a way I kinda want him to retire sooner now so he can write it, although that’s somewhat selfish of me!

Agreed, nicely put. I was gonna post a reply, but thought better of having a post full of asterix’s. Been getting fed up all day of people having a go at Mark over it all.

I agree, it was a pretty sweet bit of racing (although whilst watching I was just thinking, my god they’re gonna crash). My problem is that they were told to hold station which at that point in the race was fair […]

That was an interesting session. Was fun seeing constant improvement over the last 5mins, not knowing who was going to make it in the end. Congrats to Seb, but I think he’s going to be falling back tomorrow. Now […]

Hopefully it’ll work for people who’ve just been taken into the final hairpin to slingshot back past. But I genuinely just see people being miles behind on the first straight and catching into the final corner and […]

That’s a pretty impressive stat! I love how little single seat experience he had before starting F1 and yet how fantastically he did. Was such a catch for Sauber :)

Shouldn’t do. If it’s dry he’ll be starting the race on them. Should make the start interesting. Think Webber’ll lose out to Hamilton as the dirty side’ll be so green compared to the racing line. And if Vettel has […]

Hamilton and Massa on row two should be interesting to see how they both perform. I hope Ferrari don’t mess around, that’d be horrible to Massa in the first race of the season. Wouldn’t mind Seb retiring for some […]
