F1 Fanatic

Agreed with Jay, if the ‘zone’ can put the passing car almost into a position to pass at the next corner, and allows the defending car to defend, that’s great. Make both work at their jobs.

Curious if theres any cockpit views, the Ferrari last year always seemed a handful while RB was smooth, has the Ferrari smoothed itself out or did FA have to wrestle it to that position?

+1

Frantic looking for the “none of the above” button, can’t find it. Webbo wins only because his team mate gifts it, whether a real problem or not, it’s still a gift. Button wins only because xxxxxxx Ferrari can’t […]

Fantastic run from Vettel! Now, any bets on what the field looks like 100yds past turn 1?
Hope it rains tomorrow, the great field leveler.

You’re right, from an engineering perspective having both cars out doing the same thing makes no sense. Maybe Webbo was on a 1/2 tank while Vettel was full? Might explain the delta.

You’re right, just read about that. Thanks!

Curious if FA is going to need a new engine? Starting from 15th wouldn’t do his #2 goal much good.

Okay, I’m now a tweet. (Better a tweet than a twit, I guess…) Tweeting a number of teams and of course f1fanatic. Still trying to determine the usefulness of this though.

True, no guarantees, so I’ll be generous and give ole Nige 2 more poles out of 3 extra races.

Sheesh, I’m old and I’m slow, what the heck is twitter and what’s it’s point? Seriously. If I can get good data out of it I’m there, but I’ve never used it. Twitter primer anyone?

So true. But, which 3 races would you subtract from Vettels pole’s to bring the ‘score’ back down to Mansells? There’s no guarantee that Vettel would be equal to Mansells total either, dependent of course on […]

Yet another very interesting technical analysis. While it is indeed an ‘apples to oranges’ comparison, different times, tracks and cars, it’s a fun comparison nevertheless. I, for one, hope that many more […]

Parallels, two old timers, one from the Argentine Pampas and the other from the Texas equivalent, starting watching F1 at the same time! Amazing world.
Completely agree with your comments on the race, Fernando […]

Came this close || to pushing the button for Button, but still had to give kudos to Alonso. Button for qualifying .009 seconds to his ‘much’ faster teammate and keeping a sick car running well. Alonso though […]

Darn, (a friendlier term than what I would normally use) I wrote about grassy knolls earlier and deleted it! I bow to your authorships magnificence!. (Did you know that area is named after my boyhoods hero’s […]

Not taking away from Lewis though, after all, he won the race! I just think Alonso has made the car look better than it necessarily deserves.

So, prey tell, what exactly do you mean? Lewis won because he kept […]

Really? JB’s KER’s went out before turn 2? Hamilton did a faultless drive, I’ll agree. If he did less I’ve turn on him in a heartbeat. But Alonso did pass a number of people and defend his position for a […]
