F1 Fanatic

@splittimes there is nothing I can disgaree with in that comment: well put sir!

The only real thing I think is worth mentioning is that I don’t think it’s at all the fault of the qualifying format (in fact, I […]

@splittimes I’m inclined to agree with regards to Schumacher, although he does clearly also show a certain level of compassion (remember him breaking into tears after he beat Senna’s record for pole positions I […]

@splittimes – That is an interesting post, and your examples that show that Senna had a respect for the danger are good.

While I agree Vettel does appear to have that ruthless streak of Senna/Schumi, I believe […]

@splittimes – I know it’s early days yet, but I think you could even say Ferrari are constructor’s favourites currently – Massa is doing a good deal better than Webber relative to his teammate, and Vettel & Alonso […]

@splittimes – I don’t find it very likely that Toro Rosso would sign him: Helmut Marko is the head of the young driver development programme and so will be more interested in the drivers whom Red Bull have […]

@splittimes – Red Bull has plenty of young talent lined up in the junior formulae. I don’t think they’d take a chance on Robert Kubica being totally recovered from his injuries when they can get the likes of […]

@splittimes I think that’s pretty well covered here:

Pirelli aims for faster laps and more pit stops in 2013
Pirelli plans to give F1 a speed boost

@splittimes He was 15 in 1976.

@splittimes – I love how much faith you have in the potential Force India line-up!

I think you lost money because your place looks like a dive

@splittimes As someone who has been to Austin, can I tell you that it has a fantastic food scene, much of it served out of food trucks and dodgy […]

@splittimes, in the case of engine development Mercedes already know about their own engine and in the case of Rossi to Honda that is just a later variation on the Schumacher/Brawn move to Ferrari which is also […]

The thing is though @splittimes that the things you describe can never be left behind, as its part of the person a team is employing.

And I also think that between teams, with Hamilton going to Mercedes there’s […]

@splittimes I’m sure Ferrari and Force India have some humongous non-disclosure agreements!

I loved that comment @splittimes! And good way to put it into perspective too, this is why I think most of us agree it is good if the stewards are a bit harsher (if only they could also work on being more […]

@splittimes It held one more F1 race in 1984 but then Paul Ricard took over. Then that too was replaced by Magny-Cours.

Dijon is still going, though I’m pretty sure it’s no longer has a high enough FIA grade to […]

@splittimes
Every lap on track is valuable information about the car, and tyres, teams usually have their “pointless” cars out on track near the race end, then retire them.Button was classified in every race so […]

@splittimes
I think he damaged his car when he got that puncture. He said the car didnt feel right for the whole race after that.. I dont think he parked it.

Didn’t Renault do one on the moon already sometime last year?

Oh, and don’t forget Antarctica, that is really crying out for a race @splittimes :-)

@splittimes Great job man!

@splittimes

is the sport so unsporting

Having clear rules is essential for a sport. Those competing and spectating need to know where the boundaries lie.

Clarity in the rules and how they are enforced is […]
