F1 Fanatic

Truly sickening. Thoughts are with the family.

So when Alonso has some consistent results like the beginning of last season it’s because he’s some kind of magical samurai god, but if another great driver shows his consistency like Vettel and Raikkonen have […]

Very true. I also think the statistic that no one bar Lauda has had as big a gap between championships (if Alonso were to win this year) is somewhat irrelevant/unfair considering that when Alonso won his first […]

@greg-morland

It was the 1999 race which cemented the reputation of the corner…

Nicely done. Pun intended?

@keithcollantine There is one true chicane that’s pretty amazing to watch a modern F1 car negotiate though… Piscine.

@keithcollantine That certainly sounds like it was illegal based on those regulations, and if Ferrari were in fact running 2013 tires rather than the 2014 tires that Mercedes supposedly ran, they could well have […]

Kind of funny in the Franchitti/Castroneves interview that Franchitti didn’t stick up for his own cousin when Castroneves lists his 5 drivers that doesn’t include DiResta.

@DaveD I Couldn’t agree more about Varsha. I really miss him. Without him I never know when the lights come on that it’s time to turn up the volume and wake up the neighbors… Frankly Diffey kind of gets on my […]

I couldn’t find an option to vote for Paul Hembery so…

I don’t know if you need a radical change in the rules, but there certainly seems to be a lack of understanding from many fans at just how quickly F1 teams adapt to regulations. If new restrictions weren’t put in […]

Particularly when said three year old car was from the team that has been the best on its tires this year. I can’t imagine that that’s just a coincidence.

@fangio85 I agree, but unfortunately that ship has sailed.

@magnificent-geoffrey @bascb I think the FIA are aware of all of that, but because they changed the rules on the use of DRS in practice and qualifying this year, it meant that teams would likely shorten their top […]

Agreed.

There’s no way he can be talking about Massa though, because Alonso will be the first to tell you that the Ferrari last year was one of the slowest on the grid. It was only through his own superpowers that he was […]

I heard that Alonso said Adrian Newey out-qualified them both…

Well of course the driver and team principle of the team whose car appears to be the most gentle on its tires would say that. Let’s not forget whose old car Pirelli uses to test the tires now, and while I’m […]

Well there you have it… if Bernie isn’t aware of a protest happening, then it didn’t happen.

That’s what I gave it as well. Had Webber not retired it could’ve been an even more exciting race, it would’ve been fascinating to see how his strategy could have worked from the pitlane. Despite the lack of […]

The Queen is not a Ron Howard film. Perhaps you’re confusing the screenwriter with the director.
