F1 Fanatic

Ah I miss champcar. It might be rose coloured specs but it brings back good memories of watching it FREE on eurosport as a teen in the era of that Blundel win, I remember the race well.

@Mike – this is what I mean about people arguing from an emotional mindset on this. I never said at any point that women COULDNT drive an f1 car at competitve levels. What I said was their brains and the way that […]

Its a topic that we could have an in depth and scientific musing about however I can’t help but feel the PC flags are being waved a bit here. I just feel if I said something like “We need to understand and accept […]

To be fair though @keithcollantine saying you dont know one fact to be true does not mean its false.

e.g. “I dont know if god exists” is not the same as “god does not exist”.

I feel a bit for Moss here. His […]

IIRC the new contract(s) between Mclaren and Merc are not as they used to be. I believe Mclaren are to become just another customer rarther than a works(ish) team. In a nutshell Merc want paying more.

Oh interestingly they are running an offer at the moment to get it as part of the HD pack for £5 (on the basis that you are a non HD customer). I think I have their game.

I sadly called this move back at the start of all this.

I would be an arrogant git and say “ah well its ok for me as I have HD etc” but that isn’t the point. It’s the fans that cannot stretch to it that upsets […]

Maybe you can use DRS anywhere in the race but each driver only gets a certain amount per race? could be quite interesting from a tactics point of view. It wouldnt only need to be used for overtaking, it could be […]

@jeanrien They need two because with only one teams would be tempted to gear the cars to hit the rev limiter under closed wing conditions meaning an open DRS would be worthless.

maybe it is – odd

are my eyes playing tricks on me but on the studio photo the front wing is miles ahead of the nose but on the others its not. That cannot be just angle surely?

Next weeks tv guide blurb reads Ted and Georgie … blah blah blah so may just be mixing it up a bit or the guide may be wrong.

Good point, looking over all the other details it seems to be the same car (pretty sure they are only allowed one at tests anyway). Maybe they were evaluating the weight vs aerodynamics. Or it could just be […]

I looked at a lot of pictures from the start to the end of the season and didn’t see it. Must of been very bad luck with the pictures I pulled up aye!

Looking at some more it may be there in a more subtle black […]

didnt think so… http://biser3a.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Pastor-Maldonado-2012-Canadian-Grand-Prix-1024×682.jpg

Any ideas on the tube that seems to be fused on the lower beam of the rear wing? I am pretty sure that wasn’t there before unless it was a late in the season addition?

Lewis: “You know Jenson, its a really weird thinking I will be fighting this team for wins next year…”

There was something in F1 mag by DC complaining that there is too much F1 on the Sky channel. While to some extent I actually agree as I find I am burnt out a bit by it all some weekends it seems the Beeb are […]

In my mind we are at the point where the money Lewis is asking for could be better spent elsewhere. This is complicated as the amount Lewis commands in salary needs to be offset by the amount his “personality […]

The story goes that allegedly when Alonso knew about the whole photocopies of the ferrari car handbook he told Dennis to make Hamilton’s car run out of fuel or he goes to the FIA. Alonso apparently came very […]
