F1 Fanatic

I think Alonso is a great driver and currently one of the best – but I can’t stand this guy. Not sure what it is but whenever he talks – I’m starting to hope that anyone but him will win this year’s WDC.

I think the FIA is wrong in this case for 2 reasons. They had no problem changing the rules mid-2011 in an attempt to stop RBR. And second Pirelli is not given any testing time with actual cars and they perform a […]

Problem is that the FIA changed regs mid-2011 to stop RBR. It’s hard to find arguments to why this is different.

So be it if it means a return to racing.

A tire delaminating is unacceptable. so they have to change the construction anyway.

5/10 – first 4 laps were pretty great and the first 2 after the first pit stop but then it became a boring race. And again they told drivers not too race – Vergne’s race was literally destroyed by Pirelli – and 4 […]

Even if they drop the points for things where the driver hasn’t full control. There is still the problem of inconsistencies and double standards we see frequently. I think they need to work on this before they can […]

I think the Marussia/Ferrari deal was more or less done when they signed Bianchi and TR switching to Renault. Interestingly Renault will have 5 customers and quite a money advantage for development – but we’ll see […]

I think DiResta wouldn’t win a championship if he has a competitive teammate. Just look at his attitude towards FI. Paraphrasing him – “if they [the team] want a podium they have to give me a faster car”. It’s no […]

I think the difference is the 2fold support. In football you support a team. In F1 you usually support a team and a driver and whenever somebody chooses to switch teams a F1 fan could find himself in the odd […]

I’m with you on that one. It’s one of the most competitive field of drivers I can remember. While I’m more of a RBR fan, I enjoy watching VETs, ALOs, HAMs, RAIs racing craft immensely and whoever wins deserved it.

Agree with the COTD – if Bernie and the rest want 2 stops then write it in the rules that each car has to stop at least twice. On DRS I’m split – I don’t like how they use it these days, because 2 long zones per […]

Voted for Vettel – good qualifying as usual and a really impressive race pace. Though lots of other good/solid drives by Perez, Grosjean, Hamilton, Alonso.

The current system works fine and was implemented to save costs. If a team can opt out to get the penalty for the driver than “richer” teams can give their driver an advantage in the WDC if the WCC standings allow […]

Perez was great today – aggressive yes – too aggressive nope. And it’s not like Button didn’t defend aggressively too.

Just waiting for his samurai comments to return – he is a great driver but sometimes a really odd guy :)

Vettel’s pace was impressive. I followed the race on the timing app and thought that he’d destroy his tires after pulling 2 seconds ahead of the 2 stoppers and a second to Webber. But he managed it perfectly and I […]

9/10 good race – had wheel-to-wheel racing and strategy but DRS was again too much. 2 zones are ok if they make them shorter but overtaking without DRS is possible. Alonso and Vettel showed how it’s done.

@joshua-mesh – you’re correct but you’re also oversimplifying it a bit. A car is designed based on a certain philosophy if it produces more downforce then it’s usually slower on straights, so it has to gain the […]

what I meant insignificant on straights
