F1 Fanatic

@mahavirshah: He did the same thing in Q2 as well, so it was his overall quali pace that brought him 3rd on the grid. It wasn’t a one off.

My guess is, except for their updates which might actually be working, […]

@mahavirshah he looked very good throughout the rest of it even so…

@mahavirshah +1!

@mahavirshah

I don’t remember seeing any on McLaren

I took plenty myself:

McLaren MP4-28 launch: First pictures and video

But that’s besides the point as the bodywork will be changed considerably in […]

@mahavirshah I do agree with you but unfortunately, this being F1, many factors are outside his control. Pay drivers may be his biggest obstacle as they will flood the market. His talent is good enough but I can’t […]

@mahavirshah Indeed. Niki Lauda, for example, came back a few races after that horrific crash at the Nürburgring and almost won that year’s championship.

@mahavirshah

Did Bernie try to make it a night race at any point, To bring in the viewership audience ?

Not that I’m aware of. All I know is that the race sanctioning fee was reduced, and the addition charges – […]

@mahavirshah

How long will it be before they eventually start wanting to negotiate race fees and Bernie threatens to shut it down.

They already have – they got a new deal for this year, one that sees a lot less […]

@mahavirshah +1

The track provided some of the best and most natural overtaking I have seen in any new track

I’d certainly have to agree @mahavirshah I loved the overtaking into turn 1 and Raikonnen’s overtake in the S’s was […]

Lets all calm down here.

@mahavirshah
The car was uncompetitive at the start of the season, but after Spain, the car became much better and the race pace improved significantly. However, the single lap […]

@mnmracer
My +1 was supposed to be in response to your “out of touch with reality” comment. Not after @mahavirshah

@mahavirshah
4th best car? really?
It was easily the 3rd quickest in qualifying, and on par with the Red Bull in race pace, or at least pretty close. I just can’t see how that car could be any worse then the 2nd […]

@mahavirshah
If you look at the all the races held on this track it is quite clear that the dirty side is actually not that dirty. Nor is the run to the first corner very long and the guy on the dirty side starts […]

@mahavirshah Webber left a little bit of space because he didn’t want an accident with his team mate. But it was clear that he didn’t want 2nd place, he tried to overtake Seb in turn three (I wrote turn 2 before, […]

@mahavirshah
Yeah, Webber challenging Vettel on turn 2 was a team order as well, I assume.

@mahavirshah

@bag0 and @adrianmorse have it right.

@mahavirshah, off the top of my head, there’s no penalty if you retired because of the gearbox the race before. I’m not sure about the rules if you retire for another or an unclear reason (such as Vettel being […]

@mahavirshah
Nope. He did not finish the race, so he can start a new series of 5 (GPs) with a new gearbox.

Hm, I don’t think I follow you there @mahavirshah. Sure, Vettel was quickest in the FP sessions, where it doesn’t matter more than bragging rights to be first. But he failed to do his job in Q3, when it really […]
