F1 Fanatic

Lotus likes to be super confusing when it comes to their name and who’s shareholder. thought Infiniti is crazy before realizing what’s going on

F1 isn’t a playground where one runs home with the ball.
But even if they react that way – I’d say let them – F1 may suffer for a while but in the long-run it would be better than appeasing to Mercedes.

@prisoner-monkeys – Granted they had a difficult task to supply tires which they could never really test before the final specs had to be completed. But they made decisions about the design which ultimately led to […]

I think it’s the best way to deal with this situation. Pirelli messed up this year’s tires and they need a face-saving exit strategy from this PR disaster.
The construction change would be unfair – but the […]

not sure if that’s true – the tires aren’t really degrading mechanically it’s the thermal degradation in highspeed corners that causes most problems and Tilke’s have some of those

Not changing the tires is only fair even though the current spec makes for awful racing. For this year we can only hope that engineers figure out a way to deal with them in all conditions so we can’t predict race […]

Seems logical – only chance for another top team was Ferrari but they made it quite clear that it’s not gonna happen. He turns 26 this year so his best years are still ahead of him and I’m quite sure one day he’ll […]

@funkyf1 @colossal-squid the media does what the fans demand. if we weren’t so receptive for gossip / drama and sensationalism they’d see no need to blow things out of proportion – so in a sense I blame ourselves. […]

We fans are to blame, because we make radio messages more important than they are. The guys sit in the car with a pulse of 180 – full of adrenaline – juggled around by 4g and completely focused. Any person in this […]

torn between Vettel and JEV but I thought to go for the underdog in this competition and gave it to Vettel – quickest in difficult conditions on Saturday and dominating Sunday.
Alonso and DiResta had a great […]

@hamilfan – yes that’s what it means. Hamilton was lapped in Barcelona when he finished 12th.

To be fair Hulk caused the crash – but blue flags should mean, get off the racing line and lift. There have been a few incidences in 2012 and 2013 where race results might have been influenced by them because they […]

Backmarkers were awful today. And I think the penalty was not harsh – but others should have received them too.

8/10 tires that hold brought us a good race. DRS was a bit stupid here and made for too many artificial overtakes, but other than that it’s exactly how F1 should be.

@shreyasf1fan – well he proofed me wrong today. But it took Alonso 30 laps to wake up :)

@dragon88 – not on top of his game because of the overall performance this year. The mistake in Malaysia, average qualifying performance and Monaco are signs that he is no where near the consistency he had last […]

@shreyasf1fan the same seems to happen if you focus on being a samurai rather than a F1 driver :) – jokes aside, I think your assessment isn’t completely off, but rather optimistic. Everything needs to fall in […]

A very optimistic view :) – Mercedes isn’t too bad in the long runs, so I don’t see the easy passes there. Both Mercedes had no problem to stay in the tires operating window and I would be surprised if that […]

Besides the question of a dry or wet race the track temperatures will play an important role. if it stays dry but the track stays cool then I don’t think that Alonso can pass both Mercedes that easily.

But […]
