F1 Fanatic

@toothpickbandit – I’m not so sure: Sutil had an unusual amount of graining even for that tyre. They will probably be slower in the end yes, but I doubt they’ll have the issues Sutil had.

2nd place might have been there for the taking for Rosberg

In fuel-saving mode??

Not sure about this, I think as @toothpickbandit says below you might plausibly think that Red Bull should have held their drivers in position to secure the 1-2, but allowed Rosberg to pass Hamilton to give him a […]

@xjr15jaaag @bullfrog There was a very good explanation from Andy G (@toothpickbandit) of the potential unfairness in doing that – it was a Comment of the Day back in […]

@toothpickbandit – The Circuit of the Americas was named as such and scheduled to host the United States Grand Prix before the race in New Jersey was established. In retrospect, they probably could have set things […]

@toothpickbandit @keithcollantine And of course every single San Marino Grand Prix has taken place 100km from San Marino’s border.

@toothpickbandit F1′s had another attack of spurious nomenclature, so we have both a “United States Grand Prix” and a “Grand Prix of America”.

Not the first time, of course, nor even the most egregious […]

@toothpickbandit I was waiting for someone to spot that :-)

You sir win 100 Internets!

@toothpickbandit,

With this in mind, redbull and mclaren decided to use the spare set of options for q2 and the first stint of q3

Where did you get this information from? I’m reading these types of comments now […]

@toothpickbandit – you’re right of course, my bad – I meant Jordan’s FIRST win.

@p-m – the “I wish to make a complaint” is a Python reference, of course. And I was trying to underline the difference between MS […]

@toothpickbandit Good COTD. It does seem like it could happen quite easily!

It would be great to see Webber on pole. I believe he’s fast enough but last year he couldn’t turn it on when he needed to. Hopefully […]

@toothpickbandit seems to have misinterpreted the rule – it is the lapped cars that get released from behind the safety car, rather than have the leaders sort themselves out behind it. It’s not actually that […]

Both @prisoner-monkeys and @toothpickbandit look to be right… that’s what makes that new rule so complicated

I don’t really see how @toothpickbandit ‘s theory works. If lapped cars are allowed to overtake, then Di Resta can run back up behind Perez and the battle can resume, except neither car has been lapped. I may have […]

@toothpickbandit You are totally correct. Thanks for pointing out the example.

I guess the fair way would be to set everyone’s lap delta to be at about the pace of the safety car when it is deployed and forget […]

@toothpickbandit if I was you I would completely ignore anything Andrew Benson says that isn’t based on absolute fact going by his latest article on the BBC. He began with the title “Webber fastest on day two of […]

@debaser91 @TommoTHFC @Bosyber @d3vo @toothpickbandit @xbx-117 Sorry this is so late! I’ve not been online for long enough at a time to read the comments.

I’ll concede that my analogy was stretched, but I was […]

I agree with @toothpickbandit (Andy G)’s predictions. If it were my job to rank the top five, that’s how I’d have them too.

@toothpickbandit
I think Alonso will be in front of Button. He nearly beat him on points in a much slower car.
