    Shimks commented on the post, Penalty points system for drivers moves a step closer 1 week, 5 days ago

    Yes, the proposed penalty points system does seem quite unbalanced. However, if they got it tweaked correctly, perhaps it would go some way to iron out the discrepancies between how different referees at different […]

    Hi Keith. You gave us the news but not your opinion on whether this is a good or bad thing. What d’ya think?

    Shimks commented on the post, DRS and tyres: Has F1 got the balance right? 2 weeks, 4 days ago

    @PijelliZeroGrip: I totally agree. Added to that, DRS allows for zero-skilled overtaking.

    F1 has become a joke. It’s already been said a million times: bring back races where the drivers are putting themselves […]

    I’m not joking: I just read that title as, “Two DRS zones and detention points again in Bahrain”.

    Very interesting observations. Many thanks, Keith!

    Shimks commented on the post, Red Bull and Mercedes not the only ones resorting to team orders 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    This is an excellent question. Does anyone have any insight on this? Or is underfuelling simply a case of engineers trying to keep the car as light as possible but getting their calculations wrong?

    An F1F reader put a £1,000 bet that the safety car would come out. Doh.

    I’ve reread Pete’s comments and you’re completely correct. Thanks!

    Shimks commented on the post, Marussia’s hopes invested in two rookie drivers 2 months, 1 week ago

    It’s not a joke at all. It’s two young, underfunded teams trying to make it into the points. Every team had to start somewhere. I don’t see the joke and I think it’s exciting to have Marussia and Caterham in F1.

    I don’t even think having a sister team should be legal. Unfair advantages over other teams.

    Shimks commented on the post, Whitmarsh expects tougher tyre challenge in 2013 2 months, 1 week ago

    As an aside comment, I much prefer the one-tyre supplier format. It allows the tyre manufacturer to play around, creating challenges for all teams and a greater spectacle without the creation of a large gap […]

    Shimks commented on the post, All change at Sauber as they strive to build on best-ever season 2 months, 1 week ago

    As a Brit living in Switzerland, Sauber is my home team. Although I by no means know the whole history of the team, I think the C31 was by far the best racing car the team have ever produced. Peter Sauber is well […]

    We’ve got some formidable talent in F1 at the moment. As fans, we should be appreciative of this. I agree Alonso is the most complete driver. Then there’s also Hamilton, Vettel, Button and Raikkonen – all […]

    Another ridiculously excited fan here. I can’t wait for the first qualifying session!

    I voted for Mercedes for best driver line-up. Two very strong drivers; Hamilton a proven entity; and I really think Rosberg […]

    Sure, Ginola14. Just like Hamilton was going to wipe the floor with Button when he moved to McLaren.
