F1 Fanatic

Hamilton going to Mercedes is to be announced tomorrow. So the person I can’t stand replaces the old maestro.

Schumacher is controversial alright but the Heath article just seethes of hatred for the man.

McLaren’s third pedal is a big exclusive and what all these photographers are looking for but it doesn’t make out […]

Ok, lets say everything he said was true. The barge boards in 1999, was that not the year Schumacher broke his leg and was out for most of the year?? Eddie Ervine the big cheat!

Bridgestone providing […]

Agree, and I’m surprised that article has appeared on the roundup. Here is the reason as Heath says “All around the world Schumacher is worshipped as a sporting great”

you speak sense Enigma.

“He did it once before and got a five-place penalty, so this time he got a ten-place penalty. Nothing more to it than that.”

Did the stewards ever do that before? A driver makes the same mistake twice in the […]

@james_mc

I’d agree with that, it’s like the kind of lock up you see when the car goes flying of the track in a straight line.

@nickfrog

Ya your prob right! think we all would go easy on our favourite drivers and harsh on our least favourite if we got the steward gig!

Didn’t say he held a grudge, just saying from past experiences of British ex F1(Warick,Herbert,McNish) drivers concerning Schumacher, the possibility is there he might not get a fair shake from them when it comes […]

British ex F1 driver on the judges panel so was always going to be as severe as possible on Schumacher.

Was a strange one as was locked a long time before made contact.

The 2 year contract negotiations I read before from Bild and make sense but the no1 status is beyond ridiculous and comes from some publication I never heard of.

Schumacher or Rosberg is going to accept no2 […]

Ervine was an underrated driver and never really got the respect he deserved probably because it looked to the outside world like he wasn’t driven enough or didn’t take things seriously enough because of his […]

It isn’t actually the helmet Schumacher wore in the race but a replica with the message on top of it from Schumacher to Jordan and perhaps a message underneath saying made in China.

Priced at 12,000 which seems […]

^peak down 0.75m compared to last year

BBC last year had 3.76m and a peak of 5.33m for the Belgian Grand Prix.

@KeithCollantine

Nah it’s average, peak was 890,000.

BBC average for Belgium was 2.77m with peak of 3.69m

Averages combined on BBC/Sky, they are down 0.6m on BBC live last year and on peak combined down […]

Sky hit an all time low with 330,000 average viewers for Belgium.

On the comparison with 2011 about 2 million for Australia and 1 million for Malaysia watched the BBC highlights, so add them substantial figures unto the live race in 2011 which would leave only 3 races scoring […]

Whitmarsh is praising Sky because if you look at his cars they are advertising Sky around the back wing,”sky f1 hd” it says. McLaren are also advertising Sky on the car with a tuned or whatever you call it […]

The head to head stats for Raikkonen and Grosjean are in qualifying Kimi is 4-7 down on Grosjean and in the race where both cars finished Kimi is 5-2 ahead of Grosjean.

People can slate Piquet Jr and Villeneuve […]

Villenuve said the same thing a couple of months ago and they do have a valid point. To me it just seems a bit far fetched that one man who was thrashed by Alonso and another who was being beaten by or closely […]
