F1 Fanatic

@mike Conserving tires is always part of the game, but let’s be honest, the remarks of frustration from the teams and drivers this year are about way more than tire conservation as we traditionally have always […]

@mike Even though the Mercs will be competitive in the wet, I think Vettel will be able to manage to keep them staring at his flickering tail llight. If it’s wet, on the other hand, the scenario will be very […]

@mike

Dont get me wrong .. he drives terribly throughout the year.. not just 2 races in a row.

Why are Ferrari keeping him? I wish I knew the answer

@mike I’m really enjoying it! Ok, so the tyres have gone a bit too far, but we still have a field comprised of some of the best drivers ever in the sport, many cars are very close performance wise and there’s a […]

It certainly was not unsportmanlike @mike. I think Alonso captured it best with comparing it to his own driving in 2008-2009 – he mentioned that it was aggressive driving based on the knowledge that the others […]

@mike I see no problem with doing that: putting a driver into a position where they have to yield or crash. That’s good racecraft as far as I’m concerned. He couldn’t be banzai anyway, as if he hadn’t made the […]

@mike – I can’t tell if you’re just being flip or a troll or if you actually believe what you say. I’ll pretend it is the last one.

Though I understand what you implied, your statement is an exaggeration in the […]

@mike I already read, and I´m only posting the clear for those who need it.

And surely you can recognize ranting than stading an opinion.

@mike as a commentarist said on twitter:

If Mercedes didn´t learn anything from that test their engineers should be fired

As easy as that, thats the reason the regulation says you can test only with a car […]

@mike read @aandrewaa ´s comment, they both knew that they were doing somehing wrong. Mercedes by running his 2013 car and Pirelli allowed it… both did wrong and it´s show that Pirelli is biased… I can´t wait […]

@mike

Yep, that is the challenge currently. But its only a matter of time before the teams get to grips with the current tyres, and then what differentiates the cars are their outright qualifying pace and race […]

@mike what I’m saying is the changes would’ve been vetoed by the teams if the majority of them felt the changes weren’t going to benefit them. Red Bull and Mercedes don’t have enough power on their own to overthrow Ferrari.

@mike I’m sure your point to me is that if I have no proof that others have complained then therefore it must just be RBR. I would say to you that since we are both (I’m assuming) armchair fans you also have no […]

@mike well we know Mercedes have been very vocal with their complaints, but what I can do is the opposite: only two teams have actually oposed the changes. By logical deduction it is therefore safe to assume the […]

@mike unFIAr ;)

@mike

They are indeed although there’s a natural allure to F1 in that it should be the fastest and most technically advanced form of racing. Comedy tyres meant that 55/66 of the pole sitter’s race laps were […]

@mike perhaps so! :P

@mike My hero…. ;)

@mike first from @commendatore

Should’ve been higher, like in 2nd place.

…which was in reply to me asking whether @jleigh thought he should be higher or lower. Then from the man himself:

I personally […]

@mike if the jurors disagree after hearing the for and against I’m entirely okay with them giving the guilty verdict, but not before they’ve heard the defence case.

I feel that is exactly what happened with […]
