F1 Fanatic

What I don’t understand is how, without a Concorde agreement in place, any one team is able to veto changes such as customer cars and suchlike. Since that element of the governance was specifically outlined in […]

No Super Aguri :(

@keithcollantine The thing I find interesting is that, if you look at it, it appears that all of the teams are in the same boat. This notion about certain teams having apparently found a sweet spot seems […]

That Will Buxton blog post is interesting, but ultimately nonsense when you read Alonso saying immediately after the race that for most of it he was driving at 90%

It may be an impossible situation for them from a PR point of view, but I think they need to rise above it. The last thing they need to do is get bogged down in a discussion about the relative performance of […]

I wish I could find the exactly quote. I may well have read something into it which wasn’t there, and I’m happy to accept it if that is the case.

But the fact remains, you have a grid full of drivers who are […]

The quote I’m referring to has been reported quite a lot, but obviously doing a search for news articles for Paul Hembery talking about tyres is bringing up more hits than I’m able to search through to find the […]

I think the issue is a complex one, and it’s easy to make panic knee-jerk reactions. I really hope that Pirelli think very carefully about any changes they make to the current tyres – teams have already invested […]

Actually what you say about the poor quality of the Wing is probably true; I did notice when I was there for the WEC 6 hours that there were quite a few pieces of the aluminium cladding missing from various bits […]

I think if you can afford it, and can put the cost out of your mind, you’ll have a really good time. But you won’t get a ‘premium’ experience, in the way you might expect when you’re paying over £300 for a ticket. […]

Sorry that was meant to be in reply to my previous comments…

The thing that really annoys me is that you pay all that money for your pit-straight grandstand ticket (now well over £300) and you can’t even see the sodding podium because they’ve put it on the end of the […]

Totally agree with COTD. If people are refusing to shell out for tickets to the British GP, it’s because it’s spectacularly bad value for money. You’re paying hundreds of pounds for the privilege of sitting in an […]

On the face of it, it should be a simple issue, but when you look in detail you see that homosexuality for any global sport is a very complex issue.

Let’s start by putting aside any ridiculous notions about […]

Personally I think it’s the only logical decision Porsche could have made. While the WEC races may not get as much publicity as F1 races, I’d say that bang for buck return for investment is much higher in terms of […]

@bascb No Concorde but all teams barring Marussia have commercial agreements in place which will set out their legal obligation to compete in every round. The only team who would be able to pull out without any […]

I think I’ve been through my thoughts on women F1 drivers at some length before, but I think it’s worth going through again.

Moss’s comments are disappointing, but hardly unexpected. He’s a relic of a bygone […]

I reckon 2007 would be a great year, with the McLaren meltdown, and all the other drama through the season. 2010 would be a good year too. I suppose 2009 with the Brawn story would make compelling viewing too. […]

I’m really looking forward to this film. I wonder if, in 30-40 years, people will make films about this current generation of F1 drivers?

I really like Van Der Garde’s monochromatic design.

Another difference between the two Mercedes drivers’ helmets is that Hamilton has an Arai helmet while Rosberg’s is a Schuberth with its distinctive […]
