F1 Fanatic

The sooner Pirelli leave the sport the better in my opinion. – tell me, would you like the F1 teams to then have to buy their tyres in their local shop, or would we all start hoping someone has thought about what […]

In the past it was often the supplier paying for the tyres (that was one of the things Bridgestone mentioned being the reason of not wanting to continue), but nowadays the teams do pay Pirelli for the tyres.

They haven’t even been able to ask Pirelli to continue so far, possibly for lack of the Concorde Agreement @timothykatz!

I did read that Pirelli do already have contracts with the likes of Red Bull, Ferrari and […]

Not all that sure I would like that kind of racing, but on the other hand, it would certainly be good if they could have such an option, go for it and either fail (still to slow, crash, pit stop errors, or just […]

Its a bit of a surprise, and I am curious to learn about all the politics going on in the background of it, but it certainly seems very sensible!

Well, the COTD did a great job of getting the debate rolling on then. I must say I do not agree with it though.

Yes, we had some very memorable races that year. But don’t we have several of those almost every […]

Its in the rules actually @nick-uk!

I’m starting to digress… Is tomorrow the indy 500? Just joking, oval racing is boring in my opinion,

Even when this decision to avoid the “tweak” is fair (…), that means the damage to the show is done. Ferrari has to win this championship, ok. But it would have been much better to see Ferrari and Lotus going […]

rely ( %/W% keyboard!!!)

Teams must relu just on strategy, it’s so hard to overtake in Monaco that quali is more important than in other tracks… quali and keeping the tyres (in Monaco one more pit stop than rivals can be a clear game over)

They are mentioned in the part about Honda keeping ties with the sport through Mugen @lustigson

A good reason would be to make sure he can end his 6 months gardening leave in time to be able to work on the final details of next years aero package for his new employer (it would give him part of the second […]

off course for Monaco their relatively weak qualifying pace might be a slight worry. On the other hand, they did outqualify Ferrari and at least one Red Bull lately, so its not all bad.

Yes, you wouldn’t imagine that one guy leaving would have them shouting to the world that they are in trouble, would you?
Sure enough development for the next 2-3 months was already set in motion by about the […]

Lets show it Hulk, Sauber badly needs to get on top of the season!
