F1 Fanatic

@petebaldwin

I’d drop the constructors championship all together as it brings nothing positive to the sport

Surely you can´t be serious! The whole reason F1 began was to prove who was the better car […]

@petebaldwin

No, that’s not my arguement, because when Chelsea and Man United win, the history books records them with a British flag. Which doesn’t happen with Red Bull and etc…

no, they are not published @petebaldwin the FIA only gives the total pit times out.

@petebaldwin Here were I live what Horner did is called “stating the obvious”. It’s quite a long way from protecting Vettel, which I think is kinda baffling as Horner has been a hundred times more critical of Seb […]

@petebaldwin – it is, but if he’s out of contention the team would still like the trophy and he’d have to respect that I’d imagine.

@petebaldwin –

If Vettel is leading the championship in the final race and Webber comes up behind him, he should be as agressive as he would against any other car.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say that (if he […]

@petebaldwin I don’t think so, 2014 car will have a completely new packaging, suspension and bodywork design, for starters the low chassis means they can’t use pullrod again, then the car will be heavier and more […]

@hohum – getting the teams more money may be the biggest pipe dream of all (see: Mr. B.E.).

@petebaldwin – I fully support this petebaldwin idea.

@petebaldwin that’s why I said in 2012 it was even out, and they failed… they failed to maximize performance or whatever, but they failed.

But appart from that, they’ve been trailing others in development […]

Lets hope so @petebaldwin, lets hope so (or even better have Marussia move up with him!)

@petebaldwin – Fair points all. I, too, hope the 2014 specs help create better racing conditions generally and specifically for those following. We’ll agree to disagree on DRS, but if we agreed on everything, it’d […]

@petebaldwin (and @jason) – Of the options given, pete, I prefer Alonso v Petrov. If you can’t get around you are either not a good enough driver (probably not the case here as Alonso is right at the top of the […]

@petebaldwin

the forcast is for fairly consistant storms from Friday – Sunday

Such storms are common in Malaysia at this time of year – just because a website has condensed an entire day’s forecast into one icon […]

@petebaldwin Is it actually possible for them to dust off the old car and bring it to the circuit, without doing any changes….

@petebaldwin

His track position was due to him not having gone on the super softs however his pace and race craft whilst on the same (yet older) tyres than Vettel, Alonso and Massa was impressive given the fact […]

@petebaldwin

I really like the sound of that. May I be so bold as to add the Constructors World Championship to that as we’ve been missing one for a while now

@petebaldwin, If you really want to have tyres as a talking and strategic consideration then I suggest the model of Moto GP where they have to choose between the softs and hards, both choices have to last the race […]

@petebaldwin, “lots of raceswould be done in the first 5 laps” why ? because the fastest driver would be faster? I prefer to think that the race would not be won until the chequered flag dropped. Admittedly the […]

But as you say@petebaldwin, “drivers saving their tyres” need not be the optimum strategy,” they can easily create a tyre that lasts 100+laps” and it would be the same challenge for everybody.

@petebaldwin – thank you, there are non-delusional people in the world. Of course you don’t have to like Vettel (I don’t like Alonso) but you do have to respect the fact he has been a worthy world champion, and he […]
