F1 Fanatic

Schumacher’s dominance on his way to his 91 wins has made it more difficult for other drivers to reach this point, as difficult as that feat is to begin with. This is because his success, particularly with […]

Obviously this argument only holds if there was an agreement pre-race, which was my understanding but I can’t know for certain.

My only objection to what he did in Malaysia was the fact he apologised. If this is him retracting it then I’m not complaining.

While its not my only objection to Vettel’s win in Malaysia, I also think him […]

Not memorable in a good way, but Yamamoto’s stop at Monza a few years ago, where he took out .

Also Schumacher overshooting where to stop, […]

You’re saying that Massa’s contract at Ferrari specifies that he finish behind Alonso in almost every race? I don’t believe a word of that.

No more than I am saying that Webber being an equal driver is written […]

Strictly Vettel and Webber weren’t team mates in 2007.

But I can think of 3 accidents between Webber and a team mate, all at Brazil:

Perhaps if Vettel had a Massa-like or Barrichello-like teammate who doesn’t take points from him he is already a 4-time champion and chasing his 5th this year?

Well yes, except you would have to ignore Brawn […]

True, except for the fact that if Vettel had a different team mate that never beat Alonso, then Alonso would be a 4-time world champion, and Vettel champion just the once.

Seb’s success, like every champion in […]

I don’t think Bernie’s comment shows any delusion, it’s simply Bernie’s latest attempt at a self-fulfilling prophesy. If you tell people enough that a race will go ahead, or that the start time needs to change, or […]

Ah ok, my mistake. Had a quick search of it, seems to be a deliberate policy of the last 4 years, in response to perceived sterility of racing by fans.

To be fair, the incident I was talking about (Gordon and […]

I’ve tried to give it a go in the past, but have always stopped watching. And that’s usually long after I’ve stopped listening – I have to mute it to block out some of the commentators.

Most of the reasons are […]
