F1 Fanatic

As @greg-morland mentioned, the economy precludes new start-ups happening (and being competitive) and I also don’t think there’s much chance of a works manufacturer pulling out, funding a new car AND selling a […]

Sky covered portions of the last Barcelona test live

Alonso vs Hamilton, Ferrari vs. Mercedes. Classic pic. Goes right on my desktop background. Thanks Keith,

I (and probably 95% of people I know) have the same reaction when I try to focus on something important and someone bothers me in that moment. This media trend to suck headlines out of the finger is becoming […]

Nor does Alonso.

Did he tell you so @keithcollantine?

You do understand that those series allow multiple car crews because there are no resource restrictions, right?

Bringing the tyres into this is circumstantial at best, misdirection at worse.

The issue, as outlined in the article, is the test being conducted in violation of the sporting regs with current drivers and a […]

Probably worth reminding that he took to the wheel of both the RB6 and the Leyton House he designed last year for the BBC.

He lapped both of them around Silverstone.

Pirelli have been incredibly vocal about the issue of developing tyres for the current season and next on a completely unrepresentative platform that is their 2010 Renault.

It seems they initially approached […]

Ferrari initially only asked for a clarification, mainly because they’d already tested but used a legal car.

I’m not sure when they officially joined in the protest.

Bet Ferrari are wishing they’d stayed schtum now…

Or development problem?

There are seasoned, high-level politicians in awe of Marko’s abiliy to put spin on issues.

I think this is a very good point.

Unlikely. Japanese car companies are very vertically aligned – there’s not a lot of cross-pollination between the marques.

KK was a Toyota man.

The race for me was a 1 stop boring procession. Cars so close to each other and no chance to overtake.
I think Perez should be given a penalty for the next race. He seemed to have a plan – to push drivers in […]

Having said that ^^
They probably should’ve designed their car more heavily around the tyres (like Lotus and Ferrari have done VERY well).

Isn’t that the point? If every team had built their cars around tyre […]

That’s pretty much it – they said when they launched the 28 that the 27 was itself a development of the 25 and 26. They were basically in the same position as Red Bull are where they had hit the theoretical […]

I’m not sure about how the development of these engines is suppose to be instituted. Is it going to be as it is now with the V8′s ie no further improvements, some other method of restrictions on developement, or […]

I tend to agree with you @funkyf1
