True. Even so, I reckon it was tyre wear that really hurt him – Grosjean went for a three stop strategy, and the Lotus is also the kindest to its tyres – too much for a Force India to overcome. His laptimes at the […]

Di Resta for a brilliant qualifying performance, superb start, and a flawless race. He would’ve got a well deserved podium if it had been a Mercedes or McLaren chasing him in the last stint.

And are you suggesting Vettel didn’t? If so you’re the one with the short memory. I agree Fernando probably gained more points than Seb from the misfortunes of others, but he also had a consistently […]

@david-a – Ok so Vettel gained 18 in Spa when both Lewis and Fernando crashed out. Lewis might’ve been off the pace that weekend, but Felipe’s pace showed Fernando had the car to finish 2nd, and he started well […]

Of the top 3, McLaren had the fastest car this year. Ferrari had the most reliable car this year. But it was Red Bull who found the best balance between the speed and reliability over the season. There’s no […]

I agree with every word mate. McLaren and Ferrari have let down their drivers big time.

And Vettel bagged 25 points when Hamilton’s gearbox failed, forgot about that didn’t you?

I think it would be a good idea to rearrange the order of drivers in the tyre strategy table, to the race finishing order rather than qualifying. It might show certain strategies that failed and some that were brilliant.

That should be RB8. My bad :P

Yes, Fernando might have got through to Q3 if they’d done another lap on the soft tyres, maybe not – with the field so closely bunched up, we’ll never know for sure. Team strategy mistake. Even so, we know the […]

Alonso was brilliant in the race – he didn’t destroy his tyres in the first 10 laps, trying to fight for 7th or 8th or 9th, he preserved them, got the go-ahead from the team and overtook the people he needed to, […]

They’re all called Fernando Alonso lol

Keith, so far 37% have voted 9 and 41% have given this race a 10. This looks like a strong contender for the most-exciting-race-of-the-year-according-to-F1Fanatic-readers award. For all the unpredictability this […]
