F1 Fanatic

Well done on the COTD @william-brierty ! Your post got me more excited about the race, and thinking about all the possible permutations.

I still think that with 4 other previous winners, a teammate who is on […]

@william-brierty

Hamilton will be on pole, that to me is a certainty

I don’t tbelieve there are any certainties when it comes to Monaco..

Having said that, if you’re so certain you won’t mind giving me 50/1 […]

@hellotraverse I did say it was a “gross generalization”. I didn’t say that gay men were “limp wristed and afraid of spiders”. I was just pointing to the fact that F1 now requires a different skill set. If there […]

Actually it seems like todays brand of F1 would lend itself well to the stereotypical homosexual male. Good communicators, sensitive touch, good multitaskers.. Especially in comparison to the more burly men […]

And that someone would notice!! I’d say Nico would like to know about that one.. Hopefully he reads this blog!

@keithcollantine @tango I was wondering that, bit harsh if it was Massa (especially after Hockenheim) and Schumacher didn’t really have the machinery when he came back.
Maybe he meant that there have been […]

Massa for me, outqualified the brilliant alonso again and battle through the race to bring the car home in the best possible position

I’m surprised how clear cut this seems to be.. I wonder who the big surprises will be…
I’d love to see Webber beat Vettel!

Anyone else got a sat box which decrypts Sky signal and feeling pretty good right now :)
It’s a bit like Apple and downloading torrents, rip me off and I’ll be forced to find alternate means.

@kingshark it’s always going to be difficult to compare drivers with different machinary, but at least Webber has proven himself to be a multiple race winner, 4 times in 2010. Rosberg has only proven his winning […]

Tanx @mad-eric !

The more I think about it, Vettel and Webber must be way out ahead.. Vettel is a clinical race winner triple world champ etc. etc. and Webber can win races, was leading the championship for a […]

Most exciting pairing:
Maldonado and Bottas

Most consistant results on race day pairing:
Button and Perez

Most spearheaded pairing:
Alonso and Massa

Best pairing for flat out pace:
Hamilton and […]

Why, one might say, is a failing enterprise kicking itself so hard in the nuts and pulling itself backwards?

Exactly what I was thinking @fer-no65

I think Bernie for all his negotiating prowess needs to […]

Is that a push rod suspension front and back?

I think the only way I could decide between these two is to say that for a chaotic season like 2012 I would pick the consistency and cunning of Alonso but on a straight up battle in equal machinary I’d pick Hamilton.

Ya I agree Marko!! Alonso is just so scatty, never keeps his mind on the job.. It’s a good thing he’s had the best car all season to make it easy for him!

Lots of good ones, must’ve been tough to reduce it to 10..

I went for Kimi on Schumi in Brazil, I give Schumi as much credit for that as Kimi, beautiful racing!!
and Alonso for best overtaker all year as I […]

Tune! ;)

There were so many great drives, but I don’t think they compared with a battle for the win which spanned almost the entire race length.
Hats off to both Hamilton and Vettel but I have to give my vote to Hamilton.

And i’m sick of Tilke’s obsession with acute apexes.

@howard , you mean hairpins? he didn’t invent those you know, come to think of it he didn’t design the Austin track!

Were you honestly falling asleep […]
