F1 Fanatic

I wrote a little bloggy thing about this after taking some pictures in Melbourne…

Really enjoyable but I can’t help but feel it should have been better had the accident not taken out so many drivers/ruined races.

IIRC the rules specifically state that in Practice (Quali is part of this) the car must make it back to parc ferme under it’s own steam. The race is difference and so long as the car is brought back and passes […]

My favourite part of the round up is the fact that the table on Jaime’s BBC column lists:

Kimi Raikkonen (Renault) 55
Romain Grosjean (Lotus) 53

As for Paul Hemroids His comments via twitter were as bad as his Pirelli tires. Stick to Formula One because if your tires were used at LeMans this year there would have been the need for snowplows to keep the […]

Nice roundup Will.

Great to see Sauber pushing on like this, would love to see Kamui get on the podium too.

Also the BBC link is going to the youtube video for Marussia at the moment.

The seductive scent of stale coffee, danish pastries, sweat and anxiety.

Nice article from DC on Williams, the into paragraph about his 10 year shoes made me laugh!

As always really great to see the togetherness of F1 post fire. Now and again they do show they’re human and not just […]

You mean

…most of the day…

I assume?

Interesting Race edit, always great when these come out and reveal a tasty morsel, Rob Smedley telling Felipe to ruin Lewis’ race in Singapore 2011 for example. This one with some nice highlights of the close […]

The problem with set up is that it needs to take into account more than just driving style, the argument for having the test drivers in the cars is that by giving them real experience in the car they improve the […]

I’m not saying they have to drive, though I think maybe half a day each midway through might be handy or an afternoon each possibly. More that they should be there supporting the team and showing us how serious […]

The mention of Lewis possibly going to Mugello did occur to me after the awful display in Bahrain. I was thinking even if they only turn up and Lewis or Jenson drive a single day.

They really need to be there […]

I’ve rated the race 8 because it appeared to be an interesting one. A good drive by Paul Di Resta helped my enjoyment considering my other preferred drivers had poor races. Kimi chasing Seb and some overtaking in […]

The link contained the F1 fanatic URL before it, the following should work.

Guessing this will be the first race HRT will attend where one of their drivers holds the [race] lap record!

@adrianmorse
I had thought about this too, Lewis’s quote in the press conference:

For you Lewis, a lot of battles throughout the race but a very exciting one at the end with Sebastian Vettel. Tell us about it? […]

I’ve voted for Nico R, as per many others because frankly his whole weekend was excellent.

P1 2nd – P2 5th -P3 3rd – Q 1st – R 1st

Yes, he had the quickest car in Qualifying and possibly the quickest in the […]
