F1 Fanatic

@mw As we saw last year in qualifying there are of course variables to consider (I don’t think anyone expected a Schumacher pole…I was expecting a Grosjean pole!) but in F1 there is occasionally the convergence […]

@mw – at the moment though it’s looking unlikely, but I wish him all the best! Of the current pairings though, I’m 99% sure Vettel and Alonso will come up trumps – they are the only ones I am so certain of (and […]

@mw – Perez scored 3 podiums but only 15 points in 4 other races in 2012. While he had a good season with some standout performances overall, I’m not sure if that was particularly consistent.

@mw

Rosberg can win, but he’s hardly a proven consistant winner like Webber.

Webber is far from a consistent winner, he’s just had a better car than Rosberg for the past few years.

@MW nailed it!!!

@mw Push rods at the front, pull rods at the rear

@suave

Mathematically is it not possible for Alonso to win if they are tied on points at the end of the season?

No, as the quick-on-the-draw @mw and @yobo01 have already pointed out.

Vettel has five wins […]

I think it is.

Thinking about it, one can spot that the best races this year were the best due to factors outside track layout. Surprise winners, as @mw said, rain, retirements from the lead, crashes and SCs in […]

and then composed himself in his many battles, showing more controlled aggression.

@MW, perfect sum-up of his race. Voted for Kimi but thought exactly same here on Pastor, and a very good comparison to Checko. […]

@MW I voted for Maldonado exactly because of the reasons you mentioned. He reminded everyone why he’s more than just-another-pay-driver. A superb qualifying lap, very mature drive, well-judged moves, careful but […]

@mw thought about Maldonado aswell. His Q lap was impressive, and he’d have finished on podium without that KERS failure.

@mw Great idea: I will start writing an algorithm based on the stats and facts articles tonight! :P

@mw Another reason why you should never just read the headline and nothing else :-)

@mw I assume @eggry has been watching this year. Perez has been stunning at times, but hasn’t yet scored points in 3 consecutive races. So while I (and obviously you) can see him producing on a regular basis, <a href='http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/eggry/&#039; […]

@MW Lewis & Nico(le) = the new Beckhams!

@mw

I don’t think you can show this using qualifying and fastest race lap.

As I said in my last comment, there is almost certainly no fastest race lap data in here.

In fact, I’ll do you one better: I’ve just […]

@mw Kubica has openly said though, that if HE himself doesn’t feel 100% as good as he was before his injury then he won’t bother trying to compete in Formula 1 again.

@mw – if that ever happened (which it won’t) no-one would watch formula 1..

@mw It was meant to be a satire on how drivers are ignorant of the political turmoil surrounding them. I expect that Private Eye will be ringing any minute to offer me a contract.

Well @mw, in general I think we do tend to overreact a bit when, for example Alonso waves his hand after a difficult overtake. But Vettel repeated the “cucumber”/”idiot” to at least two tv stations, and should be […]
