F1 Fanatic

Brands Hatch had the F1 contract in the late ’90s but lost it due to disputes between the local council, environmental groups and F1 relating to the upgrades planned for the circuit. In terms of the “home of […]

“The end of my season wasn’t great. We had mechanical issues, a chassis change, and ultimately the style of my driving did not suit for the last few races.”

Hold the phone….. is Paul Di Resta actually […]

I watched “Senna” with a friend who doesn’t follow F1 and when the film showed Prost at Senna’s funeral they said “Why was he invited? They hated each other!”

I wondered whether people would feel like […]

The FIA is the only who can say it´s a legal pass

The fact that it was not investigated by stewards during or after the race demonstrates that the FIA has deemed it a legal pass.
Are you suggesting that after […]

I agree that Ferrari shouldn’t have got involved but I don’t feel that, in this case, they were the instigators of all this melodrama. The shrieking histrionics all over the internet since Sunday have reached […]

All other teams always check with Whiting before they introduce any new parts.

?????!!!!!!!

If this were the case then there would never be any dispute about new parts introduced by any team. This is […]

The thing of not wanting to get involved in the championship battle is pretty ridiculous, as it’s almost for other drivers not to get involved – regardless of what they do. Petrov took a huge amount of stick after […]

At least we have another useful litmus test to spot the hare-brained conspiracy theory nutters lurking in our midst.

Got to love a silver lining :)

I’ve been so bored with Massa for the past couple of season, until these last few races of 2012. I really hope he can retain this recent form in 2013 as then we could be in for a really exciting battle within Ferrari.

Nice to see such an even split of votes (for the time being, at least). This is the first race I can recall where I could happily give my vote to about five different drivers.

In the end, I went for Hulkenberg. […]

Such a phenomenally exciting race – just a shame it ended under the safety car. Although at least that gave me a chance to get my breath back!

+1

I love reading comments like this. There’s so much fanboy b*tching all over the internet, and I wonder why more people can’t just take a step back and appreciate that we are experiencing a fantastic era of […]

I agree 100%.
I’m a Vettel fan but I love Alonso and I really want him to get another championship. Whatever the result on Sunday, it’ll be a bit bittersweet for me. The most I can hope for is that we get a […]

Alonso could hope to win the race and ask Petrov to block Vettel for 6th place

That would be AWESOME…. Petrov coming home in 5th! The entire Caterham team would be dancing on the ceiling ;)

Just sparing a thought for a couple of guys who will, most likely, never get any votes for Driver of the Weekend…. I was actually pretty impressed by the HRT boys this weekend. Given the state of the team at the […]

@hotbottoms

one has to wonder, if Alonso always takes the maximum out of his car, then what the heck was Massa doing ;)

Too true. All people seem to talk about lately is how amazingly Alonso is dragging his dog […]

When vettel and RBR do things people accept it.

Vettel has made far too many mistakes through out the season. Yet people praise him

I don’t know what websites you’ve been looking at, but I like the sound of them ;)

I’m no fan of team orders, although I must admit I don’t have a huge problem with what Ferrari did on Sunday as I see it as finding a loophole and taking advantage of it – something which many teams would do and, […]

And when the team offers no such justification or proof (as would have been the case this weekend)?

This is an interesting point. If the rules did state that the seal could only be broken for genuine repairs, […]

This was the race we’ve all been waiting for, surely? Fantastic, clean battles throughout the pack, an exciting battle for the lead, not too much strategy-at-the-expense-of-real-racing, only 2 DNFs, hardly any […]
