F1 Fanatic

Interesting to see Maldonado and Gorsjean flying during this practice sessions.

Ferrari looking strong race pace wise.. but I doubt we will see either Ferrari on the front row on Saturday.

I’m betting on […]

though that could be because his Williams isn’t fast enough to catch up with anyone he wants to ram,

Had me in splits on that one

@keithcollantine @hotbottoms

Okay .. maybe my definition of “dominant” is different from others. The way I see it Red Bull were the quickest car hands down in 2010 and 2011, and other than the 1st 4-5 races in […]

so really it’s just the fact it affects the others that’s the problem

You’re right. Vettel has always been a really thoughtful and noble person. Him wanting to change tyres for the rest of the grid is a […]

@force-maikel

Touche.

Unfortunately Red Bull fans are never going to agree with you.. no matter how strong the logic

Nah the Ferrari had the slight edge over the McLaren and Red Bull 2010.

I couldn’t read the rest of your post after I read the 1st statement.

How can anyone take your comments seriously if you make a […]

@hotbottoms

Qualifying isn’t everything, teams and drivers get championship points only on Sunday.

Yeah race pace is really important as well. Red Bull’s race pace was as impressive as their quali pace in […]

@hairs

I thought he was ready to add some new excuses to his collection – Underpowered engine, poor driveabilty of the engine, etc.

@vettel1

Only in 2011??? Dont make me laugh.

Their car was miles ahead of the competition in 2010 as well. Just because Vettel sealed it at the last race of the season doesn’t make it a difficult season. […]

This is the 1st time I’ve heard of it.

They’ve definitely got a chance at a front row lockout… but I would be surprised if both Merc drivers are on the podium at the end of the race.

I have a feeling the pole sitter will finish on the podium but […]

Vettel being a classic example. THe guy just goes on harping about stuff not even conneccted to the question.

The AI of f1 2011 was crap .. the AI of 2012 was less crappier for sure. But I agree.. still a lot of scope for improvement on AI.

Agree with everything you said. Which is why Clark was always #1 in my books, followed closely by Senna.

The Ferrari was plenty fast. It was definitely the faster car in the second half of the season. No doubt about it.

What parallel universe were you seeing the f1 2010 season in?

Actually, it was pretty quick […]

@cristian

I would have to disagree. Alonso is as good if not better than Webber in qualifying. Rosberg has good qualifying pace, but lacks consistency in quali pace as compared to Alonso

I agree that Alonso is modest in qualifying

@cristian

There are only 2 people on the current grid that are better qualifiers than Alonso – Vettel and Hamilton.

I would hardly call that ”modest” .

@mike

Yep, that is the challenge currently. But its only a matter of time before the teams get to grips with the current tyres, and then what differentiates the cars are their outright qualifying pace and race […]
