F1 Fanatic

Indy 500 is the Biggest race of the year for me. Despite Indycar’s various attempts at self implosion, I still love the Indy 500 more than anything else.

I remember watching the 1992 race on ScreenSport as an 8 […]

The one in the image isn’t an F1 car, Its the 2 seater that was designed for the GP Masters series. That chassis actually started off as a Reynard been run in Champcar.
I’ve uploaded all of the GP Masters stuff […]

Regardless of the rights or wrongs of it all, Im getting really tyred of hearing about tyres!

As I said in the Lotus article yesterday, The problem wasn’t so much the fact we saw 4-stop’s, It was the fact we saw 4-stops on the 2 hardest compounds & were still having to drive to conserve them as much as […]

Im actually kind of split on this as while I agree that changing things Mid-season isn’t good & that perhaps it isn’t fair on the 2 teams that got the tyres right, However on the other side I have hated every race […]

The thing which seriously irritates me about the way Pirelli & especially Paul Hembrey are playing the tyre debate is that there making things out as if there are only 2 choices, The sort of extreme degredation we […]

My opinion on the tyres is similar to what Croft/Brundle discussed on sky earlier in the race.

I don’t mind seeing tyres that wear out & force pit stops & strategy (Although I don’t really mind super durable […]

I think Johnny Cecotto in GP2 shows why a penalty points system is a decent idea.
The guys driven into people intentionally a few times this year & clearly grid penalty’s & reprimands aren’t doing anything.

A […]

5 laps from it in FP2:

FOM had a Helmet-Cam placed on Valtteri Bottas Helmet today:

Something else I just want to say regarding DRS.

One other reason I feel its bad for F1 is that I don’t feel there ever going to be able to get the balance right & therefore its always going to produce a number […]

I voted negative for both.

I loathe DRS & think its hurt the racing far more than its helped it & its also slowly but surely destroying my love of F1, Everytime I see a DRS pass I feel myself becoming less […]

Just adding to my comment on tyres.

I think the tyres we had in 2011 were about the best Pirelli have run. The tyres did wear but didn’t seem to need nursing as much as the 2012/2013 tyres did & I think the […]

Im just going to re-post something I wrote a few weeks ago relating to DRS.

One of my biggest dislikes of DRS is when the car in front is left totally defenseless & the car behind simply opens DRS & then goes […]

I’ve got a fair bit of Champcar/Indycar stuff on my Youtube channel:

I agree.

Either go back to what we had Pre-94 with all dry compounds at every race for teams/drivers to run however they want (With no mandatory pit stop).

Or since the cost of that will likely be too high […]

The traditional layout.
Since the extended loop was so unpopular in 2010 I doubt we’ll see that used again.

The extended loop was designed for GT cars & has always been used for the 24hr race held there, No […]

I agree with Roger & Dizzy.
I also watched the Sky re-runs of those 2 races last night (2008/2009 are on later) & thought both were great races, Much better than what the perception seems to be.

Shame it only […]

If there going to continue with DRS then I really feel they should look at if its really needed at every race. Today was just stupid with how easy DRS made things (Even Brundle who often defends it was critical of […]
