F1 Fanatic

The definition of gain advantage is get a faster lap time, gain a position, or hold a position as a result of going off track.

Or when Alonso overtook Massa in the pitlane entry completely outside the white lines.

Actually I was listening to the same commentary, and Brundle clearly only decided it was Rosberg they were investigating when the second incident came up under investigation, before that he was careful not to say […]

Well, clearly he did gain an advantage. I don’t suppose you can ask the FIA through official channels about this?

It just seems farcical that someone can pass another car completely off the track.

@keithcollantine This is all fine, but can you explain to me why then Hamilton was not penalised for passing Rosberg while off the circuit? All 4 wheels were the wrong side of the white line, he couldn’t have got […]

So you hated it when we had more than one tyre manufacturer in F1 then? Because that’s what happened, your tyres wore out, you pusher harder they wore out faster. The current situation is as close to proper racing […]

It was hardly a new level. See comments made above.

The sport is motor sport, or more specifically grand prix racing, even though the Cuban race was not an F1 event it was still a Grand Prix, but I take your point.

You’re talking about a sport which once had a race go ahead when the top driver of the day was kidnapped by dissidents days before the race!

Any chance we can do a historic rate the race on the pre-F1 Grand Prix?

I can’t wait to read the comments for the 1939 German Grand Prix where Carcciola celebrates his win for the German Government funded […]

If we are looking at age then Fangio didn’t win his first GP in Europe until he was 38 (Sanremo 1949*), but it was only his second race (following the 1948 French GP at Reims*).

What point am I making here? […]

A gilded cage is still a cage. If you feel like you aren’t free then rebellion is an obvious consequence.

I don’t see how it can be banned for next year. If you have two cars that are different aerodynamically in any way they are going to be affected differently by the same bog standard DRS. It’s impossible to mandate […]

There’s also the possibility that they dropped it transporting it to China.

The current rule is fine. When you just had to build a gearbox for one race, excessive wear meant a retirement, now it means a 5 grid spot penalty. Isn’t this preferable for the driver you support?

It seems like her main role is simulator testing.

Racing and testing require different skill sets.

Because it wouldn’t be an article about a woman in F1 without an inappropriate comment from someone, and Bernie knew Frank wouldn’t oblige.

All of which has nothing to do with the legality of the system.

PM you are ignoring the very real possibility that without the best circuits on the calendar the racing would be less interesting, and thus pull in smaller audiences reducing the money on offer for TV […]

I’m of the school that says what you say should be proportional to the incident and the fault of the other driver. Nobody had a problem with Barrichello when he criticised Schumacher when he nearly ran him into […]
