F1 Fanatic

Can’t help to think that many the teams got it wrong, and that the medium tyre actually was better for the race. It’s faster, but the difference in nr of laps isn’t that big.

To be honest, i don’t get why they changes tyres for this year at all. What was wrong with the 2012 tyres? Nothing, in my oppinion. Even if teams would get 100% on top of thing, they could have just switched to […]

Not a great race at all. To many pitstops, drivers weren’t able to push and race at all it seems. 5 out of 10 for me.

I disagree, Gutierrez shouldn’t have been there in the first place. If he had watched his mirrows, he would’ve seen a fast car comming at him from behind. Smart thing to do is to slow down and put the car of the […]

Great lap by Rosberg, and also Vettel putting in a good Q3 lap. Hamiltons’ lap was a bit scrappy, and Webber.. well he’s supposted to be a great qualifier at Catalunya, but he’s nowhere, half a second of his […]

Just compared VDG vs PIC, wow. In my oppinion they should get rid of VDG asap. Sponsor money is one thing. But there must be a driver out there delivering decent sponsoring too, while not being beaten by 140sec […]

Voted for Vettel. If there is such thing as a perfect race, this was certainly it. He was faultless all the way to the finish line. Very impressive first laps as well, proving critics once more he is an exellent […]

Is it actually confirmed it was the tire blowing up? To me it seemed like a suspension failure, which then ruined the tyre.

Seems Mercedes still got the reliability problems they had last year, with Rosbergs car already broken down twice in a race, and now Hamiltons’ in practise. Thats trouble 3 weekends out of 4.

What’s up with Massa going slow again. Back to old habits?

I think both Redbull and Lotus are stronger than what their FP1 times suggest. The Ferrari’s were quite late to set their fastest laps, and by then the track had probably already improved by a few tents. Also […]

I must say, James Allison is one of the people i appriciate most of all people in F1. He seems like a great guy, and always shares some interesting inside info that others don’t dare to talk about.

Im not shocked he actually got a penalty, his move on Vergne was quite clumsy. It’s unlike Mark to do something like that, very much like Alonso driving into Vettel at Malaysia. Seems like Mark was under some […]

I’m really not impressed by Gutierrez so far. He obviously shows the “downs” of a rookie, but not really the “ups” of inpulsive pure driving. He’s been quite anonymous so far. I can’t see him beat Hulkenberg at […]

10/10 for me. Really enjoyed the race. A couple of great overtakes, some great battles, and some interesting strategies. This is pretty much what I watch F1 for. I do understand people complaining about the tires […]

@vettel1 that’s true, but the principel is still they same. If they could simply add top speed without sacrifices, they would have done so. I Think they won’t do it cause they need laptime rather then top speed. […]

Im not sure that’s such a good idea. Increasing top speed by changing gear ratios and/or taking of some rear wing angle will heart acceleration and overall lap time. Is high top speed really needed dubble DRS? If […]

I get what Vettel and Redbull are trying to do, but to me it seems strange what they did in qualifying. It would’ve been better to do and out- and in-lap on the softs, and not use the medium tyre at all.
As for […]

Maldonado really looks like a fool. At pre-season testing he praised the car for being the best he’d ever driven. A couple of weeks later at the first race, he says it’s undrivable. His feedback must be pretty worthless.
