F1 Fanatic

This whole matter is going way overboard. It is a clear sense of common sense. Even more simplified for those who haven’t gotten up to speed : Mercedes has brains. Many brains. The rules are clear, as are the […]

@hellotraverse Hah. I could
punch you in the face right
now. To rephrase : “Is there
anything beyond the reach
of this car?” A slightly above
average driver being gifted
a top class car, and that’s
Seb Vettel.

Great race IMO. Vettel – I
hate to say it, but he was
great today! And the battles
– ALO-WEB , ALO-HAM , MAS-
RAI – really entertaining! A
certain fellow said Alonso
isn’t in form right now.
Haha, Alonso […]

@scratt You couldn’t be more off about the dry thing. This isn’t Monaco that Bottas will hold people up. In dry, He will be overtaken rapidly until he is among his own herd again. You fail to see that both Lotus […]

Haha, true man! ;) you an alonso fan?

And also, nothing else needs to fall in place for him except for the track being warm and dry. All rest will be done by the samurai.

Actually, Mercedes actually is pretty hard on its rear tyres. Haha, samurai thing was funny. :p

@harsha : So what is it’s late night? I don’t get it.

@yobo01 : Actually, second place is as good as guaranteed for Alonso. His primary objective will be to beat Vettel – a bit of a tough job.

@tmf42 Merc isn’t “too” bad, but it is most certainly bad. I don’t think Hamilton can challenge Vettel – he is totally out of his depth – that’s what happens when you concentrate too much on a dog. Alonso has […]

The point is, Monaco is a very different thing. He himself admitted he lacked pace. He obviously wouldn’t repeat it. Obviously there are ifs, this is pre-race discussion. :p

*Alonso would want

Given dry conditions, it is almost obvious that Alonso will be on Vettel’s tail soon enough. From ALO’s perspective, Webber will be passed within the first lap. Bottas isn’t something to be much worried about. The […]

*If it’s dry, on the other hand

@mike Even though the Mercs will be competitive in the wet, I think Vettel will be able to manage to keep them staring at his flickering tail llight. If it’s wet, on the other hand, the scenario will be very […]

@frofo : It is glaringly clear that Alonso is not a great qualifier, though a good one. Nor is the car the best qualifier. They do what they need to do in the races. Excellent pace and brilliant maneouvres.

@force-maikel Yeah man, this race will be exciting! Especially if it is dry!
And even if Vettel pulls up a gap, it wouldn’t be impossible for Alonso to catch him – it will need a perfect combination of pace, […]
