F1 Fanatic

I’d give the first half of the race a mark of maybe 3. The second half I’d give perhaps an 8.
But it’s Monaco, and overall remains boring, boring, boring.

I don’t think I can ever remember being so cold at a GP. But I do remember the excitement of things happening all over the circuit from where I stood just after the Old Hairpin. It was horrible too on Good Friday […]

Having been given one-year contracts only for the last three years. Can we (reasonably) assume that Webber is in his final year at Red Bull? If so. Just picture the scenario when we get to Brazil and Vettel needs […]

Wake me up when it’s finished. Must be the worst Malaysian GP for years.

1. How many different teams will win races? Five.
2. Who will retire first in the Australian Grand Prix? Giedo van der Garde
3. Who will set the most pole positions? Vettel (again)
4. Who will crash out […]

It was pretty overcast when that photo was taken. He, Fernando and […]

Keith has editted my original write up. One piece that he cut was where I mentioned that we booked the trip just seven weeks before the actual race. So yes. Grandstand Motorsports sorted things out pretty well. […]

Thanks for that. Far better than what I tried to do. Hopefully shows a bit more from where I was sitting.

Perhaps these two links may […]

It’s not as sexy as Nicole.

When I grow up I want one of those.

Kimi on Schumi in Brazil. Great commitment and total respect between two world champions.

A flying start from McLaren in Oz, who then fell away slightly only to return at the end of the season.
First wins for Rosberg, Maldanado and Kimi (MkII).
The unpredictability of who Grosjean or Mad Mal will […]

Absolutely correct. Massa has always been a number two driver. He’s ok as a driver. Just not in the class of FA, LH or SV. He’s no team-leader.
Any team in the same situation would have done exactly the same. […]
