F1 Fanatic

Probably the bit where it says

Honda sources have confirmed to AUTOSPORT that it plans to return to Formula 1 as an engine supplier to McLaren.

Of course that’s a bit vague, but a lot less “rumour-y” than […]

That would be a shame if true. The race strategy calls for Kimi didn’t really come together until a couple of races after they’d come to the two-engineer arrangement.

And for that reason I think they will need […]

I think it’s important to note that the money he raised from the fans was used to prove to unnamed Japanese corporations that “Kobayashi the F1 driver” is a brand that people connect with and would therefore give […]

Kobayashi’s podium is very high on my list, particularly for the reception by the fans. Their chanting was absolutely awesome.

Also high on my list is Valencia’s pre-podium chat where all three drivers met up […]

To be fair to the other teams regarding the double diffuser, there are plenty of stories around about several teams being a tad peeved with the FIA about that as they went to get approval for the same concept and […]

I was wondering the same. I have absolutely no idea what he is trying to say with that paragraph.

Really? You think the drivers lost Mercedes 159 points this year?

I’m curious where and how you think that happened.

I think you were thinking of Kimi on Di Resta in Germany. Overtake started in the hairpin and continued on for another 4 corners before he made it stick with both of them giving each other just enough space to go […]

Ferrari’s struggles to get the tyres heated up, seemed a bit counter-intuitive given their early season form in the rain.

Am I making invalid comparisons between water-induced coolness and the low-friction led […]

Non-”crumbly” tyres only worked because they were so hard that everyone (possible exception RBR) struggled to get heat into them and therefore grip out of them. So, essentially they had the exact opposite problem […]

An American Nascar friend of mine says, contrary to the press’ panic about timing blunders, he thinks it’s brilliantly timed.

In essence, he thinks most avid Nascar fans will have booked the day to watch […]

Heh. Don’t hold back now @keithcollantine . Tell us how you really feel ;)

@keithcollantine I know that incident rubbed you the wrong way, but I didn’t read that as him being snarky, but rather annoyed with himself for making a mistake. And actually, short and to the point with it as […]

Even his dad is quoted as saying his career is probably in touring cars now. He’s simply too old.

His dad also said though that his son is “the only driver to have gone to Columbia”, referring to the university […]

Agreed with both, but I have to say it surprised me when I moved to the UK from NL, how much more serious a swearword the people in the UK consider “****” to be. Social convention does make a difference and if, as […]

It’s not quite the same as Vettel though in that Vettel does normally have pace in hand when he’s driving at the front. I don’t think you can argue Raikkonen purposely had the gap at the penultimate DRS detection […]

On the topic of Räikkönen’s radio, I’m glad to report at least one company has found a way to use it to their advantage :D

They’re not allowed to change gearing. They have to declare gear ratios on Friday evenings and use them for the rest of the weekend.

On the f1technical forums, some people are suggesting they still could do it […]
