F1 Fanatic

Really happy by the FIA’s decision. I think Pirelli are really being given a lot of stick when they have done an excellent job over the last couple of years. I remember that last year as well they had a race with […]

Alonso, drove a spectacular race. Measured, calm and on the money at all times. He passed when he had to, saved tires when he needed to and put the pedal to the metal when required to. It’s been quite rare over […]

And now we can all say hello to Pirelli Mark 2 aka the New Bridgestones.

I had seen a similar CFD simulation done for a Ferrari road carI think, during my MSc. Its quite fascinating as to how they analyse it taking actual acceleration and force data through live runs and use that to […]

It looks like a power hand drill :/ …

Kimi Raikkonen but only just. I felt that he managed his tyres and race very well. Vettel did a great job and I hope he wins but for me the way Kimi managed his race was very good. Di Resta did well too but not […]

Paul Di Resta confuses me. Every time I quite make up my mind that he is no good, he manages to pull of these drives, not spectacular ones, but cool, calm ones. And the funny thing is even afterwords I can’t seem […]

Is this the best ever qualifying for Force India when both drivers are considered? I don’t think they’ve ever qualified this well before. They have shown good pace over long runs and hopefully they can take […]

To be fair I have more respect for this version of Sebastian than the other. I’d rather he man up. And that is what the public want to see. If this gives us a decent rivalry to follow in the races to come than so […]

@timi I fully agree with your point and in fact this was something that was in my mind as well. The whole issue for me was not that Vettel defied team orders to take a win. However, if Mark Webber were in the same […]

Sutil and Di Resta was it when the team put the wrong persons tyres on each car and had to bring them back I believe. That was an epic blunder. Especially when the team was looking good for a decent haul of points that day.

” So, that’s the website Seb gets the names for his car from !!!”

I think a lot of time was wasted by being cautious. There were clear periods when the rain had abated sufficiently to atleast have Q2 in the bag. Instead, playing the watch and wait game meant that those precious […]

I also get the feeling that FI were getting fed up of having drivers race with the team, do well and then promptly go to another team. It could be one of the factors weighing on their minds, the fear that Bianchi […]

It looks like a transformer half stuck in… well transformation.

I find it odd that you’d talk about teams not working together to secure higher revenue shares and yet would not agree to bring costs down.

All this talk from the teams and Eccelstone on bringing in new viewers and yet I find it extremely stupid that teams have such poor launches except one or two teams. Force India was impossible to stream, Mercedes […]

@keithcollantine Ah I seemed to have missed them then. But what I believe is that teams will focus much more on the rear end of their cars. In the run up to the first race, secrecy might border on the level of paranoia.

What a slick looking car. I must say the livery looks better than any ive seen on their car over the past few years. Interestingly, no team has given really good shots of the rear of the car yet. I don’t remember […]

It looks like the VJM05 but then can’t say much from the pics. Why do they even bother streaming the launch. Such a fail.
