F1 Fanatic

So many cliffhangers to leave on. Grosjean having a job, the Mercedes test row outcome, the Webber/Vettel and Button/Perez revialrys. I’ll pick the story back up in September at Monza. I will now miss the next 6 […]

Not sure why people think JEV did that well. Matched his best, but 8th is still pretty poor when it comes to picking a driver of the weekend.

@karter22 On top of what has been said above, the main reason Mercedes didn’t fall back is because they simply blocked everyone else from overtaking. The Red Bulls said they were driving very slowly, as did […]

Whether there had been a test or not I think due to the nature of the track, both in terms of its low degradation and it’s overtaking prevention; it would have been Mercedes day in the sun regardless. If there are […]

@vettel1 Most of the overtaking was before the red flag though wasn’t it? The red flag had no real effect, as everyone got a reset. When everyone has the same advantage it’s the same as nobody having an advantage. […]

Yeah I adjusted my score to reflect the fact that it was Monaco. I gave it an 8.

The only thing that brought it down for me was that Vettel did not appear to be fighting for the lead and Webber didn’t seem to […]

I’m not sure they have harder tyres do they? Maybe it’s just as the cars are a bit slower they therefore generate less degredation.

@vettel1 I was going to suggest they give him mighty short gears, but I suspect all the teams would do that anyway as standard seeing as it’s Monaco.

Good chance for Caterham tomorrow if they try a radical […]

Probably a combination of all factors. It did look like a steering fault though to me. His front right just seemed to have no turn angle whatsoever. Probably just as the camera is off centre. I don’t think Ferrari […]

That might have been the best qualifying session I’ve ever seen! I was annoyed when it started raining beforehand but it made the first 2 sessions exciting and it still ended up for a dry Q3.

Well done to […]

Vettel not wearing his new helemt, Kimi is. Was Kimi’s actually banned?

I’m fairly bored with the whole tyre situation at the moment. I’m just about sick of hearing about it. Good news, bad news, from the teams I hate to the teams I love. I wish everyone would just shut up already. […]

Happy Birthday :)

Regarding Grosjean’s crash. Is it normal for a carbon fibre suspension/track rod or whatever to break like that? It just disintergrated into a cluster of threads. I’ve never ever seen that, and it’s not exactly […]

There is a difference between an opinion from someone who has a reason to have an opinion, or someone in the street just blarring on to the public about Pirelli tyres poor safety with fake evidence. If Vettel […]

It took you four months to beat legend and you want it harder?

I didn’t play 2012. I ’1000G’d’ 2010/2011 and decided that they were not different enough to warrant a third purchase, likewise there were too […]

@roald I think they come in as 2nd least funny. I still see ‘Hamilton’s fault’ far too often. Old and unoriginal now.

@verstappen Yes but factoring in penalties defeats the object of a ‘form guide’. Surely you want to generate an image of how well a driver is during qualifying. Say a driver had 5 ‘poles’ this year but the team […]

Is ‘G-average’ for Grid? Q-average would have been more logical I think.
