F1 Fanatic

michael: i’m the better driver in the better team. the look on your face tells me i have a better taste in cake, too.
ralf: …

“You have to show respect for your elders, especially when they get to that stage in which they are no longer in control of what they say.”

strong words indeed – essentially calling bernie senile.

i see. do i take that to mean he was a bit of a hot head at times? that might be too harsh a term to use. thank you for clearing that up by the way.

i do not follow paul on twitter – and need to be a conformed follower to see his tweets- what reason has he given for ‘leaving’ twitter?

glock’s 12th place puts marussia ahead of caterham in the constructor’s championship. i know there’s a handful of races left, but i think marussia have secured 10th.

i think as pedro knew he would be starting last (gear box penalty), there was little point stressing the tyres for one or two laps.

on most subjects, i find the majority of bernie’s quotes to be quite ‘bland’ – this one, however, is not so.

i don’t really know what to say, really. it feels like only yesterday i was reading parts of life at the limit as an eight-year-old.

sid … what a brilliant human being he was. truly a (perhaps unsung) hero of […]

d’ambrosio has done very well in both sessions – given the circumstances. i’m hoping he can qualify 10th or 11th, and finish around 7th or 8th in the race. he hasn’t put a foot wrong so far – best of luck to him.

based on his stint with marussia last year, i’d say jerome, although with only one full season of f1 under his belt, is a relatively safe pair of hands.

i fear if he doesn’t do well, he’ll be criticised from […]

i know it’s short notice, but i’m hopeful jerome will deliver at monza. all the best to him.

not really the way i wanted to see him drive a lotus, but this looks like d’ambrosio will be in the car at monza. on one hand i am elated, yet i will also miss his gp2 commentary! unlikely, but i’d love for jerome […]

if alex could have an indycar adapted for hand controlls, was entered in the 500 and proved competitive – i would be genuinely lost for words. he tested a bmw sauber a few years ago – i think he was thirteen […]

one pole this season … next up, one win, at my favourite circuit. hopefully it won’t be taken away from me like my pole was.

Massa ‘knows what he has to do’.
right – do it then, felipe.

“I think that my race performance has been very strong, with my 15th place in Monaco standing out”.

er, you finished fifteenth and last, […]

an okay race – this is not a reflection of the race, but i wish to point out what a great race petrov had. pretty much trounced kovalinen. i’m really pleased for vitaly. not a world champion in the making he may […]

good job on your first (i believe) round-up, will. well done!

another good effort from pedro. the fuel loads are unknown of course, but it looks like hrt are performing bettee than marussia at this circuit. hopefully this progresses into qualifying and the race.

i am not […]

how on earth was narain ahead of both marussias, and around 1.5 seconds ahead of pedro? did he cut a few chicanes?

“News is that the teams are all pulling together to loan Williams all the kit that they lost in the fire.”

although this is sort of obvious, it is still very good to know. well done to all of the teams who […]
