F1 Fanatic

@skett Guess you have taken my comment with far too much seriousness, I’m just stating that apparently the majority of the viewers didn’t appreciate the change on the classic intro track.

@skett , @pertree Much to my surprise it turns out I muspresumably work for the BBC too, and I don’t even live in the UK. I didn’t actually notice the difference when I watched at the weekend, but I also watched […]

@skett Guess you work for BBC then. I don’t know anyone that liked the new mix.

@skett – We haven’t seen him race this year, so we can’t tell if he’s got his act together. Therefore we can only go on the recent past, and Maldonado has not demonstrated that he is worthy of being part of the […]

@skett I expect more from him, really. Last year he missed a lot of chances when the car was “competitive”

I seriously doubt at this point that he’s that kind of driver that’s capable of pushing hard for a whole year.

@skett – I think the Vettel comparison is a very good one: Vettel is a very quick qualifier also and, given the space in front, can soak up the pressure from behind and put in great results. Vettel however has […]

Pirelli does have an engineer in all the teams garages @skett. And it does a lot to give good feedback on how the tyres work out, that experience is why Pirelli don’t announce ALL tyres for the year in advance, […]

Skett (@skett) They’ve looked like morons yeah, but we Maldonado was always up there with the top guns and won a race and Grosjean was to nervous as he once lost his racing seat for not being aggressive. F1 […]

@skett – there was a good idea suggested by one of my friends that they should have confirmed their driver line-up by Di Resta uncovering the car, revealing the second driver sitting in the cockpit. I think that […]

@skett, The entry fee requirement was abolished around 2009 when all the teams were invited to reapply for F1 on the understanding that there would be a budget cap.

The last team to have to pay the entry fee […]

@skett – I personally think they’d be better off adopting Red Bull’s “tunnel” exhaust – it would work better with the slimline gearbox. We’ll see who goes Coanda and who goes tunnel though!

@skett – I highly doubt that. We’re comparing the world champion to a driver who has both gained a reputation for using his car as a weapon and probably threw away more points through mistakes than he actually […]

@skett

Nope, I think that award goes to Chandhok.

@skett well, that’s unfair too.

@skett Just to “scare him”? Are we in a sandbox or sth? Here people’s lives/health are at stake, god d**it.
He may be fast. He showed it. But he’s no man.

@skett Ok perhaps ‘works hard’ was the wrong choice of words but hopefully you see my point.

There was a reason that Ferrari for example were winning more than Toyota in 2007 (despite similar finances) – they […]

@skett

I think you’re completely missing the point when you think he says that some teams don’t work hard. It might even be the opposite. However, listening to many comments of teams and drivers, they […]

Success with that bet @skett, would love to see him pull it off. I agree this session wasn’t boring, it looked like it could have been but then the others came out and put real laps in, and HAM kept going for […]

@skett Hey, you never know. If that rain shows up it could be Malaysia all over again
