F1 Fanatic

@nomore The guy clearly loves life and the fact that he is doing something he loves. We should all be pleased for him, not critical.

I have read a couple of stories in recent years about people in Frank Lecerf’s predicament. Makes you wonder why he didn’t just switch off the ignition …………..

@nick-uk It’s on Grosjean’s car as well.

I suspect it’s in common use (at least in Europe) because it is a derivation of the French words for racing driver – “pilote de course”.

@keithcollantine This article says it all.

I have not yet viewed all of the Top Ten great races but I’m already blown away by the depth of analysis offered to F1Fanatics. Do you really follow all of these […]

@magon4 Yep, in business parlance (here in Australia at least) “by mutual agreement” is used when someone is sacked but a decision taken to allow them to preserve their dignity.

Why is Gebhard Sanne standing on a box? Oh, wait a minute…….
Looks like Classic Kimi thought “black tie” referred to his shoe laces.
It might be an old photo, but the Promoters’ trophy still looks cheap and nasty.

Renault was responsible for Alonso not winning the WDC …….. Oh goody! Another conspiracy theory to debate!

@vettel1 and @keithcollantine I am invariably impressed with the clarity and precision of Keith’s comments and rebuttals. Wish I had that ability……

@vettel1 @patrickl I’ll go one step further (this is going just a little off topic, so apologies…..) I have always been surprised at how loose the FIA technical regulations appear to be. It seems too easy for […]

@maroonjack According to my dictionary, halcyon can mean both “calm, peaceful, tranquil” and “rich, wealthy, prosperous”. I guess Horner used the word in the second context.

Wow! I came =1504 and I only put in a predictions for two races! Next year I’m going to do every race! How hard can it be?

@pielighter
“For sure.”
I’m not so sure.

Ah, so we should now replace “Classic Kimi” with Awesome Kimi”?

@jcost Berets for the French GP, slouch hats in Melbourne, bowlers at Silverstone, keffiyehs at Yas Marina ………..the possibilities are endless.

@brum55 In a perfect world, all of the teams would be owned by people or companies with wholesome motorsport-relevant reasons for owning them. But it’s not perfect, and the money to run many of them has to come […]

@keithcollantine Wow, COTD again – thanks. This time I had better not claim inspiration from a bottle of wine, because the podium ceremony coincided with breakfast time here in Oz………….

The Pirelli stetsons on the podium were a small but inspired touch and will certainly have helped make the race (and F1) memorable to US fans.

Can’t remember if this has been done before (I mean swapping the […]
