F1 Fanatic

My tip for the title is James Calado. I watched my first full season of GP2 racing last year (thanks to Sky Sports F1), and was shouting for him within the first couple of races. He was massively impressive and […]

I might be wrong here, but the disparate between Hamilton’s top end speed and Rosberg’s (4.5 kph) would seem to suggest that the latter is running with a little bit more wing, maybe. This might perhaps have […]

So, with Honda presumably being the engine supplier for McLaren in 2015, it seems we’ll see a radically different looking car that year, and a mostly different one next year.

Red Bull – Sebastian Vettel
Ferrari – Fernando Alonso
McLaren – Jenson Button
Lotus – Kimi Raikkonen
Mercedes – Lewis Hamilton
Sauber – Nico Hulkenberg
Force India – Paul Di Resta
Williams – Valterri […]

1. How many different teams will win races?
4 – Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes

2. Who will retire first in the Australian Grand Prix?
Esteban Gutierrez

3. Who will set the most pole […]

No, that’s not what I’ve said. I said Hamilton’s biggest failing is on strategy calls. All drivers have their weaknesses; that is his, I believe. Rosberg, while largely being an unknown quantity, is still a very […]

Possibly F1′s fastest driver. A gutsy racer, though more susceptible to mistakes than his fellow champions and occasionally gets lost on set-up.

Surely that should be something said of Jenson Button, not Lewis […]

@omarr-pepper I don’t think that either. McLaren will always be able to win, regardless of drivers that come and go. Lewis isn’t the sole reason for the success they’ve had, as that would be ridiculous. It just […]

No, they weren’t the same for both. Also, Hamilton’s occured when he was leading and had the most to lose — I don’t recall Button retiring once from the lead of a race . Button has been flattered, having shared a […]

Thanks for this. As a fan of Schumacher’s, it’s sometimes hard to stomach the general disappointment of these last three years, but it’s even worse when most choose to ignore the moments that haven’t been […]

Vettel didn’t always qualify near the top (Malaysia, China etc.), in fact there is just one driver that can claim that accolade and it’s Hamilton, with the best qualifying record of anyone this season and almost […]

I am a little disappointed in one sense, because I didn’t want Vettel to win the championship, but also satisfied due to the fact that having a championship settled days after the final race, through the winning […]

Hamilton being the fastest doesn’t mean a whole lot, given that he was ahead of both the Red Bulls by just a fraction, and while he was on the test tyres, the pair of them did it on the hard set — which aren’t as […]

It’s a shame to see someone like Kamui making a possible exit from the sport. He may not have been as frequently brilliant as Perez this season — though, I feel his podium was Sauber’s best — but he still […]

It’s been an exciting race, but not an enjoyable one as a Lewis supporter. This, just like Singapore, was an almost certain win for him, and he’s denied the spoils through no fault of his own. It’s been a painful […]

@raymondu999 If you don’t like all the complaining that goes on there, then… leave. It’s what people do, and no amount of complaining will change that.

It’s not been the greatest last few races, has it? That is, unless you’re a Vettel fan. I respect his obvious talent, but he doesn’t half take the fun out of everything once he’s sat in a fairly dominant package. […]

Yes, but Alonso has gone up against Hamilton. Some of Vettel’s success could be attribued to having a car for most of the last four years that far exceeds what Hamilton or Alonso have been given. He’s on the brink […]

It’s good to see McLaren looing a little closer, even if them posing any real threat to Red Bull still seems impossible. It’s irritating to see Ferrari so far off, though. I don’t expect Alonso can do much more […]

There’s not much here to suggest this won’t be another of Vettel’s weekends. Even if McLaren can match Red Bull through the race, it’s going to be nigh on impossible to remain close to them in the last two […]
