F1 Fanatic

Considering I fell asleep some time after lap 40 and not knowing what the hell was going on, I have to give this race a 5/10, purely for the fact that it was sleep-inducing. Wasn’t a particularly bad race beforehand though.

I thought DRS made every pass look way too easy (every pass that was caught on camera, anyway), so that took a bit of the excitement out of it for me. Where was the titanic battles under brakes that used to make […]

@craig-o Caterham say they are competing in the four flyaway races with a hybrid 2012-2013 version until they get to Europe, where they say they will throw upgrades at it left, right and centre to make it their […]

Thanks for the birthday mention @keithcollantine !
Much appreciated :) The work you put in to the site is second to none. For years I’ve tried different websites to get F1 news, but now yours is the first website […]

@tophercheese21 +1. Sadly, I wonder whether Vettel actually does understand that Webber was right in what he said. Christian Horner and Helmut ‘I love Seb’ Marko will of course say to Mark that Seb made an error […]

I wanted to give this race 10/10 simply for Webber telling Vettel what he really thought and Hamilton’s humility on the podium, but 9 will have to suffice. Regardless of team orders the squabble for the lead was […]

You’re right Sutil drove a brilliant race but your comment about di Resta is hopelessly incorrect.

@mhop I respect your opinion, however in hindsight, I should rephrase. Since di Resta had the lion’s share of […]

@magon4 I voted for Sutil too. Partly because nobody really wanted Force India to choose him over Bianchi, but he proved everybody wrong. He made di Resta look like a rookie for every moment of the weekend other […]

@pielighter +1 Totally agree!

Speculation has it that they might be losing some Brawn but have recruited some brains, i.e. half of the technical staff in F1, they’ve had to get a new shoe sponsor as their last Schumacher retired, they bought […]

@jerseyf1 Even if Ferrari don’t re-sign Massa, there is the possibility of him returning to Sauber in 2014. Sauber could do with an experienced driver to groom Gutierrez and Frijns and it would keep Sauber’s link […]

1. How many different teams will win races? 5 (RBR, Ferrari, McLaren, Lotus, Mercedes)
2. Who will retire first in the Australian Grand Prix? Daniel Ricciardo
3. Who will set the most pole positions? Vettel
4. […]

I don’t really know what to make of that. I was quite taken back when I read that in the Herald Sun this morning. It’s probably just Bernie over-hyping something up like he usually does, maybe a 10 year deal […]

@prisoner-monkeys @fer-no65 Unless Honda comes on board in 2014 or even 2015. Could be a remote possibility, but time might be against the big H from returning next year at least.

@william @joysenna Agreed, I still think South Africa would be a cool place to hold a race though. A1 Grand Prix used to race on a nifty little street track by the beach in Durban I think it was, so it might be […]

Firstly, hope your enjoying Formula One and welcome to the community!
Secondly, I can’t see Cape Town going ahead anytime soon, if it does I will be very surprised. It sounds to me that there are a lot of […]

@frankus28 Agree completely! A great looking car with that new green, but I must be one of the only ones to actually like Caterham’s nose, I don’t think it is ugly one bit!
