F1 Fanatic

@tvm

the truth is that they are not by any means fast, merely able to cruise less slowly than the rest of the pack.

Yes.

@tvm : That is probably the worst idea anyone has had in the last millenium. No communication between drivers and teams? What would happen to pit and tyre strategies? It will be utter chaos. Drivers can be […]

@hohum

If you mean the bridgestone years I dunno about that….. Because if you think you can replicate the 80′s good luck.

@tvm
That’s a joke right? In the rain the drivers are doing anything but 100%. […]

@dizzy, how did you miss @tvm s post at 17:15 hours.

@tvm – the engines very much still hit the 18000 though – people were bouncing off the limiter at the end of the back straight!

I actually don’t think the v6′s will be all that bad honestly: the old 80′s turbos […]

I think that @tvm is alluding to the fact that aside from Vettel during the final few laps, no other driver appeared to push their respective cars to the limit (whether it be through fear of tyre deg or wanting to […]

@tvm – what? The engines have been limited to 18000rpm since 2009. If you are implying something due to the tyres, that doesn’t change what they do on the straights!

So question, why the mention of last year if […]

@tvm – he was also told to maintain position though and slow down, but interesting perspective nonetheless. I did seem to notice though that when he did try and overtake earlier he always did so in the first DRS […]

@tvm Oh don’t get me wrong. I am not supportive of tyre conservation dominated races by any means. If there was a way to presever the great racing we’ve seen in the last 2 years but to use a tyre that could be […]

@tvm To be honest, I find your suggestion rather insulting. I’ve watched Formula 1 my whole life and find it amazing that some people just can’t appreciate the challenging nature of modern Formula 1. Too many fans […]

@tvm – I saw the Toro Rosso’s move over, Michael Schumacher and Webber (once). Hardly the entire field, is it? Even then, the Toro Rosso’s weren’t exactly a significant obstacle, so I’d be focusing more upon the […]

@tvm – It’s not a “fact” that “the entire field moved aside for him in Brazil”. It’s just an excuse.

Nor is it even a decent argument (from Klaas) that a team would only want a driver if they won from out of […]

@tvm – Vettel was 12th after the collision, since it affected his start. He still finished 2nd.

And you know you’re exaggerating hugely with the second comment there. It is you who needs to come on.

@tvm – It’s a well known physics principal that racing stripes make a car go faster!

@tvm

Those flame decals I put on my first car definately made it go at least 50 mph faster and cut my 0-60 mph time by 2 seconds…

@tvm – Except that you have no right to “go for a gap” if doing so means you force another driver off the circuit. And while Maldonado never left the circuit in this case, he was forced off the dry line. Given the […]

@tvm

Yes, the rules does give him that right

What rules? Where in the rulebook does it say “Lewis Hamilton is allowed to force any driver off the circuit at any time during qualifying without fear of punishment […]

@tvm
If we are going by raw pace the McLaren was faster than the Ferrari period. The McLaren had more pole positions, the McLaren had more wins yet thanks largely to Alonso, Ferrari finished 2nd in the […]

@tvm

7. Didn’t get a drive through for overtaking off track (Grosjean)

Ludicrous to point the finger at him for that. He gave the place back and later re-passed Grosjean. We’ve seen many times before this is […]

@tvm Why did 2008 stain Alonso’s career?
