F1 Fanatic

Say whaaaa? The FIA steps in to make a sensible ruling that enforces consistency rather than unnecessary randomness? Hmmm, must have woken up in opposite world, best go back to bed.

@Robbie You may be right, but I always tend to take it with a grain of salt when anyone speaks of values and respect having been greater at some point in the past – that was already quite a popular attitude among […]

Re COTD – gotta say that the hockey @Robbie describes was indeed played that way – right up until about the 1940s. No offence, but hockey today is likely cleaner than it’s ever been in the modern era. That’s not […]

Words to think on, surely.

Wow, that gets an automatic nomination for comment of the year – wish I’d thought of it : )

What stands out for me is that he praises Raikkonen and Hamilton for their driving, but with Vettel he talks about the strong car and how championship position is not important right now. So I read as a bit of a […]

I agree, this all smells of bad blood from here on in, and it’s probably going to end in tears for everyone at Red Bull.

Schumacher said the same thing last year, didn’t he, about F1 no longer being about driving on the edge? It does remind me that last year through the first half of the season Pirelli seemed to have got it spot on: […]

I voted yes on both, even though I’m not a fan of team orders in general. Within the present technical rules, it was the only logical decision from a team perspective.

I agree with Keith’s assessment that the […]

9 points!? Woohoo! of course the fact this makes me happy is only a reflection of how terribly I’ve done in past years.

Hey there, what’s up with calling people “Clown”? Trying to live up to your namesake’s level of intelligence or what?

Maldonado taking a cue from Chavez’s brand of public relations: if something goes wrong, it must be everybody else’s fault. To think about it for a moment, maybe this highlights one facet of the pay driver debate […]

A lot people seem to rate Perez’s prospects fairly low, mostly I think based on the dip in his form last season, but I think he will do very, very well against Button and I would not be surprised if he […]

There’s ways to find decent streaming : ) and I think this will be even more so with NBC joining the mix…

@braketurnaccelerate
Yup, doesn’t at all look like the same nose, not even allowing for a modesty panel. Williams, too, have tested at least one nose/front wing fitting different than those shown at launch. […]

I think that is everyone whose opinion is different than mine is insane, absurd, drunk and biased to boot, concurrently and consecutively.

But anyhoo, ‘best’ driver pairing depends on what we mean by best. If I […]
