F1 Fanatic

Isn’t that the case quite often though? Red Bull looking unusually slow on Fridays (or Thursdays) but still being right on the pace on Saturdays

They will be changing the compounds more into the direction of last year Canada onwards meaning they will be made harder, not more fragile.

“The more fragile” compounds (to what they were last year) are what we […]

That was most likely widely because he missed one of the FP sessions completely. They know what went wrong last year and won’t be making the same mistakes again I’m sure.

I don’t find that odd at all. Button has always struck me as a guy who in the end gets the job done, knows what he wants and is easy to work with. Obviously one of the most experienced drivers on the grid. There […]

On a more serious note though, I’m worried what kind of message this sends to the teams. There seems to be some teams that can design a car to their liking and through a clever marketing strategy towards the […]

3 months of whining over tyres degrading wayyy too quickly and when we finally go back to the compounds that allowed one-stop strategies in the second half of last year…not a single positive comment.

You have […]

Alonso said that he was pushing at about 90% with the strategy he and his team decided to opt on Sunday. That’s 10 percentage points higher than what “we just wanted to see”.

Sure let’s replace the current rules with the ones from 60 years ago and ban all development!

Wouldn’t be artificial at all…

They had two extra sets of tyres, in addition to the normal sets they have for Fridays, prototypes of what they’ve used this year. They may […]

The tyres were designed to wear out quicker than last year as Pirelli was requested. All teams got the chance to try them out in Brazil and they had a few months of time to analyze the data and make changes. Red […]

Has to be Kimi for me. Driver of the WEEKEND.

Both him and Alonso were perfect in the race with Kimi maybe having to fight a bit more for his position. But what makes the difference for me is that Kimi was also […]

The point is that one team dominates…as in wins all the races. So far, we have winners from three different teams this season.

Which team is dominating?

It’s still very difficult to win outside the first three rows.

I fail to see how Pirelli tyres are disregarding talent. If anything, the talent is even more apparent currently as drivers can’t mindlessly push 100% all the time but have to consider everything thoroughly: when […]

2004 and 2005 were crap except for the engine noises which are irrelevant, as far as I’m concerned. If I wanted to go listen cool, very loud noises, I’d go to a rock consert.

there’s one “which” there that shouldn’t be there…sorry

Well the rule is obviously necessary. They shouldn’t be able to pick up any objects to make the car weigh more after the race and I’m not sure if it’s necessary to clarify the rule with allowing flags being picked […]

Tyres made it more interesting. If you compare this to the most Spanish GP we’ve had in the past it was definitely more exciting with at least some wheel-to-wheel action. Had the same race happened in 2010 (when […]
