F1 Fanatic – The Formula 1 Blog

1 – Caterham. Who yet again fail to score points. Honorable mentions to di Resta who yet again fails to beat his German teammate; and Lotus who again fail to make good on pre-season promise.
2 – Raikkonen gets a […]

@GeorgeDaviesF1 to be fair; most people in this thread are comparing Lewis with Gilles or Mansell; not really with Senna. The only thing that keeps harking back to Senna is really that Lewis is a big Senna fanboy.

@aka_robyn nearly naked women are never pointless

@GeorgeDaviesF1 it would’ve been Vettel-Button-Kubica-Hamilton. Is that what you’re talking about?

I don’t see how the engines would influence racing in terms of overtaking – but the sound of the new engines would be a mystery to me.

On the one hand; you’re getting the full force of all the cylinders in […]

@david-a Oh B0ll0cks. I meant @pamphlet!!

Wow I kind of like this one – I like the way they framed it as a small Vettel watching F1 – then moved into his racing history; and ending it off as a dream.

I echo @failbane ’s sentiments to the letter.

@Jack22 What point are you saying with Monaco 2010 and Spain 2011? Those were great races, but what exactly was Mansell/Prost-like about those?

Come to think of it, Montoya also falls in the same category as Hamilton/Mansell

@matt90 I think his belief was more that nothing bad will happen in the first place; rather than that “if something bad happens, ask the Big Guy”

I never watched Ayrton race unfortunately – I started watching […]

@matt90 it was at the mp4-27a car launch… he made some comments to that end. I don’t remember where now though.

Yeah – Ayrton was very religious. Prost said it made him almost dangerous – that he felt God would protect him no matter what; which drove him to try audacious maneuvers. I’m not saying it’s true; but it’s an […]

@matt90 I thought his comments on wanting to wait until the flyaways ended before extending his contract was a clear ultimatum though.

It’s not that the FIA sees Car A is 1 second behind then activates it; the system does that automatically.

Aha… but the point of DRS is to give the car that is 1s behind a boost so he can make an overtake. If the car ahead of him has the same boost – there would be no overtake. The system IS automatic and it does […]

@jack22 that would honestly be unpoliceable. What’s a straight? What’s a curve? Kemmel isn’t straight; but it’s “a” straight. How about Monaco? Nothing’s straight there; really. Except maybe the run up to […]
