F1 Fanatic

:-) I am afraid that will not be the case @hohum

Could just as well be to motivate himself. Remember him adding something about not crashing but racing or so last year?

THe best by far, indeed.

I do think Pastor adding that line is a nice touch.

The Random Access Memories album cover ties in nicely with the Lotus’ livery.

No, those cameras and other parts will effect him very little. There is a reason why these specific parts are used; they have very little effect on the aero balance of the car. After all, what good would they be […]

Still a lot of the season to go, lots of time for people to forget about an impressive few races though

Fascinating insights from AMuS about Williams. Seems what they ran this morning was in fact a genuine 2012 nose/FW! Apparently they put last years floor on the car in Barcelona to see where it went wrong, now they […]

yes

Might have been the KERS playing up though, as his team claimed

Yeah, that illustrates it pretty nicely @lustigson. Domination is what we saw with Ferrari and McLaren.

The last couple of years have been the best job from Red Bull overall, thats why they won. Having the […]

And McLaren could have been right up there in 2012 if not for numerous mistakes and technical mishaps too. And even in 2011 it could have been closer had Hamilton not messed up his own season as much.

A fast translation of that BQ:
Despite that, Pirelli will have a tough job with pushing this change through. Force India is against it. “We won’t support any change, no matter what way it goes. As Pirelli […]

From this AMuS (German) article its pretty clear why we are hearing teams speak up now: Pirelli will give them their proposal of what they want to change today, and it needs all teams to agree to be able to change […]

Oh, and its nice to see that Maldonado seems on pace this weekend. No hitting any barriers, nor Perez either

Did Rosberg do that fastest lap of his during a long stint?

Rosberg seems to be really on a run, would be good if he can keep that up at least until the end of qualifying. Hamilton not quite on it.

And the Ferrari is right there on pace. Kimi took it a bit slow, not […]

Here is an article where German Motorsport-Total claims Pirelli already have some contracts done with several teams (Red Bull, STR, Ferrari are mentioned
