F1 Fanatic

There are plenty of good old days years where the racing was horrible too. When Bridgestone started their last stint, the tyre were horrible as well. Drivers were complaining about being pelted by the marbles all […]

Mateschitz usually has quite sensible things to say. It’s Horner and Marko who are the idiots/liars.

It’s not like Mateschitz is the only one complaining about these ridiculous tyres.

I always wonder how much of qualifying pace is setup and how much is locked in the car.

When they set up the car to run well on low fuel it will do great in qualifying, but will also be bad for the whole race. […]

Yeah, cause starting 5th is a great result which doesn’t need improving on *rolls eyes*

He admitted he made a small mistake. Big deal. Point remains, the car does not have the pace to go for pole and thus he […]

The problem is the they cannot implement it intelligently. When the cars are on different strategies, DRS will always seem to make overtaking too easy. When clearly the underlying problem is the tyres. When cars […]

It’s the tyres that do that. if the drivers are on the same quality tyres it’s not that easy to get past with DRS. When there is already a 1 to 3 second lap difference due to the tyres then indeed DRS just […]

Yeah, that was “entertaining”, when the performance would drop suddenly. Like a musical chairs dance when you don’t know upfront when the music is switched off. Maybe they should throw dice to see when they need […]

Pat Symonds claimed it was Piquet who suggested the idea, hopeful of a contract for the next season in return.

Webber is nog getting the same support though. He’s lucky if his car manages to stay working for more than a few laps. It’s like they’ve given him all the second rate mechanics and limited telemetry […]

In China Perez was weaving and overly agressive, but this time I felt it was Button who was too agressive. Perez was way faster and Buttonw as just holding him up. Still he decided to run his team mate off track […]

Those usually end up with Webber running into Hamilton though.

Button seems a very friendly guy. I have seen him several times when at races and he’s always friendly and giving autographs. in interviews he’s always smiling and doesn’t really say a bad thing.

When it comes […]

Did you even watch the race? Raikkonen braked and swerved to avoid the colission, but then ended up off track and couldn’t brake fully when Perez started to brake while on the tarmac.

Racing lines don’t count going INTO a corner. Only when through the corner. Dozens of drivers have been penalized for exactly the same transgression.

Raikkonen had plnety of room for that nose change. They weren’t threatened by anyone. He was being held up by Hamilton anyway, so he just wasted more laps behind Hamilton.

When Raikkonen pulled out behind […]

Have to say it’s about time that Webber got penalized for one of his boneheaded moves. Just go over all the accidents that he caused and how incredibly little penalties he has gotten for them. It’s truly amazing/ridiculous.

Makes sense that repeat offenders get penalized harder.

Half way alongside doesn’t mean anything anymore. That was a valid remark when Mansell, Prost and Senna were still racing. The last few decades it has been that you have to be ahead before the breaking point to […]

I kinda liked the race actually. Guess I’ve gotten used to hating the tyres. Good to see that more people are starting to hate them though.

I’d rather see a boring race with some actual overtakes rather than an […]

Well with these tyres they don’t need DRS to pass and I remember several overtakesdriveby’s where this happened also for the lead.
