F1 Fanatic

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 […]

If it turns out to be Red Bull you’ll need quick hands!

What?

Jenson has qualified second behind Lewis in both races so far, why should it be any different now Lewis has a grid drop penalty?

I don’t believe either of them are totally at fault or totally blameless. It does show that Naraine moves back seemingly with the intention of getting in behind Sebastian but from what I recall of the replay […]

I would expect the EBD ban has been the primary factor in that. It’s evident in how the teams are much closer this year all through the field. Still an interesting point. One which shows that the EBD ban was good […]

Great article Jen, very interesting to read up on what’s happening behind the scenes. I was taking pictures at Turn 6 when Seb went off and took some photos of his car being loaded onto the truck. Didn’t realise […]

The Official program has Trulli instead of Petrov in, shows how far in advance they’re made!
