F1 Fanatic

Phil Hill, Hawthorn and Hulme never won a home GP.

They were experiencing similar deg to Red Bull yesterday, not that it means to say they will tomorrow.
GRO long run had virtually zero deg.

Good racing all round except at the front which is a shame. I thought the tyres were a joke today. Not sure who was DoD.

I am not saying Jenson is a Fernando Alonso but the reason Nando stayed in the title fight last year was because he and Ferrari always maximised the situation. Today was an example where McLaren could have done […]

I have always thought Vettel seems like a nice bloke out of the car and a complete tool in it. Today showed the line is much more blurred. A gentleman would never have done what he did today but a ruthless […]

I feel a bit sorry for di Resta atm, when he started in f1 the media overhyped him because he is British – so fans took a dislike to the hype. He is not very media savvy, this has made more people dislike him. […]

KOV, GLO, KOB, PET. All have had podiums in F1 and don’t have drives, but then KOB, PIC had unspectacular junior careers and seem to have proved themselves in F1. Then you have PER who was a pay driver but with […]

A license for a commercial CFD software for a whole company can cost around £250k a year, they did not get that off ebay. Marussia’s supercomputer, I believe, is one of the 500 biggest in the world, the problem […]

But when you consider they got one week a month in the wind tunnel and have a 1/4 of the staff of a top team it doesn’t seem so bad to produce a 1.5sec a lap performance upgrade.

I would be surprised if Marussia left the sport, their recruitment is ongoing and all money spent seems to point the team in the right direction. I would like to take issue with a point in the article though… […]

If you speak to anyone who has ever worked with him, nobody can understand why Mercedes have ditched Loic Bigois: maybe this could be a huge failing. Also, I do not buy the idea that the Mercedes powertrain will […]

That’s funny, I thought it was Alonso’s focus which stopped him running into DRS marker boards and getting consistent podiums in a shoddy car?

It is possible that the front wing of the car last year produced a lot of absolute downforce, but not enough to adequately balance the car with the effect of the EBD. This is why they had the snow-plough, which […]

I don’t dislike Vettel, but there can be no denying that Button has only once caused a collision in the last 4 years of racing and whilst not as fast as Vettel is much safer in wheel to wheel action.

Thank you, someone has not said Vettel did a brilliant job purely because he won. Whilst he made many good overtakes this year, I still don’t think he is in a HAM/BUT/ALO/RAI league. Some of the brilliant […]

Who is to day the Marussia drivers did such a bad job. in their cars it is difficult to say if they did a better job than a di Resta or Kobayashi or a Massa (who’s first half year can not be overlooked). […]

but had RIC not hit Glock they would have been ahead of Petrov

Perfect race, 10/10 for the entertainment… sadly the the championship result was a 1/10

Such a shame for Marussia.
