F1 Fanatic

Do you honestly think that early on in the race it is purely up to Hamilton if he pushed? The fuel levels throughout the race are monitored by his engineer. He has NO idea what his fuel levels are.

The way […]

I basically agree with this.

I can’t say whether it was right in either case because I can’t see what each driver had/didn’t have.

However, the drivers do not have all the information that the pit wall does. […]

I doubt he was thinking of the undercut. He actually defended very well up to that point – his move around turn one where Vettel was seeing an opportunity to grab the inside at 2 and Webber just flicked the rear […]

I’m guessing that the bulls were set up in something approximating a wet setup. Either cleverly guessing the weather or in an attempt to improve the tyre life.

I’m basing this on the fact that they were so slow […]

+1

It’s not a conspiracy. I’m fairly certain that mark’s kers package is compromised because of his height. If he is still there next year, it should improve because the bulls will have s complete re-design and can […]

It’s all a cunning ploy by the Germans… At the end of the season when one of the drivers needs the points whichever is at the front can claim the points for the one who needs them most.

It’ll be like […]

I didn’t want to see this get decided after the race either – that’s just annoying.

What I didn’t like about that race was the amount of assistance Vettel got. I’m OK with team orders – Massa was fantastic in […]

Trouble is I think most people are seeing drivers that went quickly and there was so much action that it was hard to track everyone but people who did not notice the class of massa the first time around should get […]

Massa every day of the week. He drove a superb race. He held up a train of cars whilst Alonso struggled, he vigorously defended his team mate when people tried to overtake him, hounding them and denying them space […]

It’s pretty sad that talented drivers are having to resort to begging for money TBH…

He should release an international fundraising campaign too though. I can only find the support page on the JP site (good […]

Couldn’t they have the DRS shut down when one car is alongside the other? That then allows them to catch and fight in the braking zone without this ridiculous driving straight past mallarky…

It would be fun, the problem being that it’s dangerous. the start would be chaos….

This race was great, brave overtakes, exciting battles and a proper toe to toe rivalry fight for the lead with two of the best drivers in the sport battling lap after lap.

Fair racing, old school intimidation […]

Same as your car mate, if you drop the clutch when you slow down to stop the anti-stall won’t kick in, if you don’t then it will add some throttle to up the revs and stop you from stalling.

I would say racing incident. The way I see it, Senna left the door open on the outside, Schumi went for it.

From Senna’s point of view:
Senna moved back to the racing line not expecting Schumi to be coming so […]

Agreed, he was never very good. He could competently drive a fast car around in an average way and score points with it but he would never really pull anything special out of the bag.

I have been saying he […]

My 2 cents on Hamilton’s performance

Button made a better start, Hamilton gave him space – a wise and fair move considering.

Button was evidently a bit faster in race conditions, Hamilton went to looking […]

I’m going to be a bit careful here but I would say that if Senna was driving now he would probably have as many accidents as Hamilton. The problem is that he sticks his car into gaps that people aren’t […]

What this will change is that you might end up with people trying to make people defend non-moves and not being able to move back across to take the corner most efficiently meaning that they are slower off the […]
