F1 Fanatic

The rules don’t allow that level ruthlessness anymore. If they did it is very likely Alonso Vettel and Hamilton would have purposefully crashed each other by now.

Looks like

My point exactly .. i think there is only two years Newey won against Rory – for the rest of his time at McLaren, Rory trully and properly kicked his ****.

okay, confused here … McLaren needed to bridge a gap to Rory’s cars by making a lousy car to experiment on? Seriously people, start making some sense …

Should be Evolution not Revolution. Doesn’t the fact that Rory Byrne dominated Adrian Newey when they were both in the sport at the same time mean Rory was ultimately the better designer i.e. his approach […]

i would like to think that there is a difference between moving over and slow pace

@bingi if i was massa and i read this – i would surely hunt you down to the ends of the earth and do very very bad things to you

@Electrolite sorry but i disagree – just because Lewis wants to be his own person does not mean he has an attitude problem. Mansell wants Lewis to be like him, and he has the power as a steward and is literally […]

+1

so fire the team?

For whatever it is worth everybody knows the team lost that pole position because of that decision – if JB was only 0.009s behind Seb, Lewis could have nailed it – the team is basically shooting itself in the foot.

It was not just about putting in a lap but putting in a decent lap time – Webbers lap was not decent at all; it was definitely ruined by Button and the same could have happened to Lewis – team’s fault 100%

Yet another weird characteristic of McLaren – do they ever communicate these things to the drivers or do they just expect the driver to work these stuff for themselves? Which makes you wonder what all those guys […]

But why did the team put itself in such a tight spot in the first place? McLaren, on a good day, is a mistake prone team – the situation just becomes worse when it leaves itself so little room to maneuvre. I […]

Whitmarsh seems to have subdued Dennis – never see him in the paddock these days, never hear him in the media.

So long as all four (Button included) were that close it was always not going to be worth it for the following 3 to put in a qualifying lap – you cant make a decent qualifying lap racing with a car infront of you: […]

Maybe he is spreading himself too thin and not having time for the other business interests. He shouldn’t be FI team principal – that requires him to spend atleast a week every fortnight just working on Formula 1 […]

@mwoerne on what evidence? Lewis has been slower than button in both sessions, and as Ted Kravitz was saying this morning in 1st practise, his head is definitely not in the right place this weekend. He was […]

I was hoping @Keith would talk about some of the mistakes that the team has made but i am disappointed to read yet another listing of Hamilton’s mistakes – i think that is getting stale now – something about how […]
