F1 Fanatic

And those talks 100% would not be broadcasted.
And viewers 100% wouldn’t be happy about it, since they wanna know what’s happening within their favorite team.
And FOM 100% wouldn’t be happy about it, […]

Yes, it’s not mandatory. And i believe it couldn’t be, since there potentially could be a driver who would be fast enough to be in F1 without being able to speak English. Although i can’t think of […]

And we all bitched and moaned about it, didn’t we?

First off all there’s a flaw – at least first Fernando’s replies came in English. And it’s not his first year in races – he spoke perfectly well before.

Second, let me explain my position fully and for the last […]

You’re wrongly assuming that i’m watching an English broadcast.
I’m watching Russian, and commentator is speaking Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (at least). But i imaging he’s not speaking Japanese. And if Kamui […]

Ok. And while they’re at it they should hire a dozen of translators.
For all the languages drivers and engineers are speaking.

I’m Russian, but you can’t expect me to learn dozen of languages, can you?

If French or German was the language of this sport i would learn it. But not all of them.

With that logic we shouldn’t even have a press conference in English.
Drivers should just say something in their native language and go home.

English is recognized as international language in this […]

And completely useless, i think.
For now all competitors should have a translator.

Only the viewers are suffering. FIA should do something about it.

I’ve been watching for Petrov’s race.
Caterham made all possible to bring Heikki in front of him. They allowed PET to defend from faster cars behind him before Pitstop 1 and to loose time letting leaders overtake […]

I was talking about speed differences of two compounds and between new and old tyres.
It gave us all that glory of last season.

Didn’t see that today.

This year Bridgestone-like conservative tyre choice will kill overtaking again.

9/10
Nice fighting throughout whole race.
Gutted by Caterham retirements.
Glad to see Petrov was consistently faster than Kovalainen (0.5-1.2 per lap).

Last las was quite exciting.
Good to see both teams […]

Not only Putin’s party got majority of the seats (at least for now, courts pending), but there wasn’t presidential elections yet. And there he will win by landslide. Results of parliament elections was […]

I think it’s half-true.
They must anticipate Kubica’s comeback and want to have a clause in second seat’s driver to fire him in that case.
And to that Petrov didn’t agree.

I think it’s damage limitation by Renault.
They couldn’t get Kubica to race from start of the season.
So they hired Raikkonen and needed second racer to have contract on race-by-race basis (in case Kubica will […]
