F1 Fanatic

the whole point of the extra set is to give an incentive to teams to run rookies and give them the experience, if they just give an extra set to everyone then none of the teams would change what they are doing, we […]

Disapointing news especially as it means there is one less race for me to watch live this year,
I wonder which is more likely, that there was not a single race track which is accredited to host an F1 race which […]

As always Tyres and Fuel loads make the fastest times hard to compare at a glance and read who is fastest, it would appear that there are a few teams with comparable cars which bodes well for a competitive season […]

i recall something about Le Mans looking at this as an option and again this is exactly what Cosworth and the likes shoudl be looking at to make this as viable as possible for them,

I will confess my ignorance […]

I thought part of the new engines would be that other formula’s and racing series would be able to take the base engine re-tune it to a new rev limit / fuel flow rate, add a lower / different Turbo and remove […]

Pretty poor, and whilst i can see that preservation of tyres is paramount with Pirelli instead of bridgestone as they said in the BBC commentary they need a speed delta of around 3s to make a pass easy enough and […]

Things look positive for Bottas, he has also added two sponser to the car this week (annouced ont he williams website) no where near the money that the others bring but it all counts,
with regards to the times […]

hang on a sec, was it not Mercedes who brought the 2011 car to the first test so that they could “understand” the new tyres off all the more, or was this some other team…. well looks like that didnt quite pay […]

Find myself in some agreement with Christian Horner on how equivalency is not what the cost cutting measures should be about and that poilicing it would indeed be way too complicated and the potential to exploit […]

As somone alluded to it will come down to the actual numbers of people who specifically signed up to SKY in order to watch the F1 rather than the number of people who watched the program. For them it would appear […]

Thanks for that, there are some fairly large net gains floating about in those numbers, so the sequence (of gain is) is TR, Caterham, FI, Williams, Merc, Lotus, HRT, Mclaren, Sauber, Marussia, then Ferrairi and […]

would it be possible to show the difference by car / manufacturer, so the relative increase / decrease vs the pole time, the last 6 being in the same rough order show the relative performance increase of Caterham […]

being curious 99,000 people (roughly) watch Sky Sports F1 on its launch week, details on the link, obvioulsy a race weekend will show a different picture

true, but in some respects thats probably the best indication of the take up and effectivness of Sky buying into F1, most “fans” will make the effort to get up and watch live and casual viewers will watch the […]

Same here, does anyone know if/when viewing figures would be released for the F1, both for Sky and BBC, i am curious to see what impact being on sky does to BBC and the fact that it is highlights, i am sure that […]

This is what is most interesting for me, i can see how at high speed the effect of this will work, and i can see how when the accelerator is depressed and gasses are being blown with more velocity this will have […]

1. What will be the best surprise? – Close Qualifying and Racing Q2 could be fantasticly close
2. What will be the worst surprise? – Overtaking Rules and stupid penalties
3. How many different teams will win […]

No more than Hulkenberg & Perez from yesterday who were in the 22′s, Hulk and Ricciardo in the top 4 from Tuesday, and in the previous test Raikkonen stands out for me as surprisingly quick at the time and look […]

They have said they are not going to do any qualifying runs in Jerez, and i imagine with the new engine that Kers, gearbox & cooling integration along with new engine mappings as well as the added bonus of a new […]
