F1 Fanatic

The ’57 Monaco GP footage is awesome! I’ve never seen this before. Some very cool camera locations that we don’t have now, plus we get to see Stirling Moss hanging around the garage in his swim trunks!

I scored a whopping 4 points, and actually went up in the rankings!

“…but if we thought he’d been a wanker…” Frank Williams is a master of F1 political-speak, but he occasionally lets a good one fly!

Sad that what have should have been a huge celebratory evening for Sir Frank and the resurgent Team Williams had this nasty damper put on it. Mostly sad for those injured, of course. Crazy.

Obviously, things might have panned out differently had McLaren not shot themselves in the foot… yet again, but super drives from Maldonaldo and Alonso. So great to see Williams’ return to form. I gave the race an 8.

Hamilton’s crew let him down yet Again!

By this time last year, I think a lot of us were getting the top 5 mostly correct (if not the correct order). This year it’s anyone’s guess!

Maybe you’re right! I’d be coming from the US, so it wouldn’t be cheap, but it would at least be worthwhile to do a bit of research. Thanks for the nudge!

Driving a few laps on that awesome track is right up at the top of the list of things that I would dearly love to do, but probably never will. Sigh.

Much has been written about the Bahrain GP, and it has become a real flashpoint on this site, with many well articulated views on the subject. Too many to read them all, really. Anyway, here is my (perhaps a bit […]

Re: Red Bull … It seems that RB have confirmed that they will stick with the “Webber spec” exhaust for Bahrain. I’m not much of a Helmut Marko fan, but I got a kick out of his statement. “We will go with the […]

Vettel has already established himself towards the upper ranks in F1 history, but RB’s new car not “suiting” him isn’t much of an endorsement for the guy. A talented driver for sure, but perhaps not as versatile […]

Buxton was definitely grasping at straws with that comment, and I wouldn’t doubt that he regrets making it. Bob Varsha pretty much laughed it off, and no more was said.

Well, that was pretty entertaining. Lots of stuff going on! Interesting that not only did Mercedes get their first modern era win, they were also the only team to have a car drop out. It would have been cool to […]

Wow! This is gonna be hard to top!

“Can you BELIEVE all the money we get paid to do this??”

Simply an honest answer to some reporter’s hypothetical question, I’m sure. I would doubt that Rubens is really expecting to get that phone call!

“Hey Kimi, any idea what country we’re in”?

That was a tough one! 5 points, and so begins my slide down the rankings!

Fun race, a fantastic result for Perez/Sauber, and kudos to Alonso for wrestling his unwieldy Ferrari home for the win. Hamilton drove a pretty tidy race as well, and probably deserved a better result. I’ve had […]
