F1 Fanatic

@keithcollantine The rules are clear though, you can’t change the tyre compounds without unanimous support from the teams. Teams have designed their cars within the rules and some obviously use the tyres better […]

The text accompanying the video on Ferrari’s DRS: “The rear wing Drag Reduction System, or DRS, has come to play an important role in Formula One racing, increasing overtaking opportunities without making the […]

Rossi was very impressive in his first race weekend in GP2. Definitely someone to watch. Leimer had a fantastic race in the feature race. Nasr was fairly solid as usual and came extremely close to taking the win […]

@mike-e While I agree with the sentiment expressed about the Red Bull incident, I think you voted answering the wrong question. The question was whether Red Bull were right to issue the team orders in the first […]

It’s really great to see GP2 getting such good coverage. The races were fantastic to watch, I’m hoping Nasr will really shine this season. And Evans did a great job in his first GP2 weekend.

In my opinion both Mercedes and Red Bull were wrong to order their drivers to hold position, this is racing and the drivers should be free to race for position. If one driver has to turn down their engine because […]

I think it depends what you want out of F1. If you’re interested in all the cars being similar in performance and it being a straight out fight between the drivers, then surely a single spec formula would be a […]

“I’m fighting for my team and will always fight for the team that I’m in.”

Damn straight! There’s no place in F1 for drivers who throw away points for their team to appease the bigger guns.

Yes, some of this is down to performance, yet Ferrari have been at least as competitive as McLaren over the past decade or so.

Lets compare stats for the last 10 full seasons (2002-2011)
Wins: Ferrari 71 – 41 […]

@gridboy I’ve not really got much to add to your comment except to say I agree with it. @damonsmedley The problem is not so much that they do or do not enjoy it, it’s about the image it presents, it’s basically […]

Kovalainen has still out-qualified Petrov 6 – 1. So I’d say it’s still pretty fair to assume that if either of them are going to make it to Q2, it’s likely to be Kovalainen.

Also a shout out to Perez, Vettel and Alonso who drove fantastically as well.

A tough choice between Grosjean and Hamilton. Hamilton had a great weekend, was quick in practice, didn’t quite have Vettel’s pace for pole, but drove a superb race despite some pitstop problems to take the win. […]

Fantastic video, really interesting to see a formula one car bisected like that.

Although I do agree with your assessment that the name has been abused in this debacle, and should have been well left alone.

I cannot fathom the reasoning of doing this yet persisting to call themselves Lotus.

I must admit to finding their method far better than adopting the histories of a completely unrelated team. By insisting it’s […]

Indeed. Trying to jump to conclusions based on such limited data, is naive. A proper study needs to be done on the effectiveness of DRS which takes into account that DRS might be helping to close the gap in order […]

@solo Please don’t misunderstand me, there are a lot of valid criticisms to be made about her appointment, but being a women is not one of them. Her DTM record is far from impressive and it’s certainly not much of […]
