F1 Fanatic

Sorry, should be @vettel1

The Soft tyre from previous years is supposedly broadly the same spec as this years Medium, all the tyres have been made softer, not harder. The case is completely comparable.

I don’t think it’s fair to call the BBC “free to air” TV. It isn’t. There is a licence fee which is payable to view the channels. Comparing the total package costs of the licen fee channels and Sky would be a […]

@keithcollantine That would imply Keith that the sport believes there is still audience growth to be had in Europe. All the new races being signed up are in wildly different timezones to Europe, as we are preached […]

If you sign up before the 9th April then you don’t have to have Sky Sports package to view F1 HD, and there is currently a half price HD offer on, which means you can get F1 in HD for £26 per month.

He’s got more race experience than Ricciardo and Vergne not to mention De Costa and all the other aceademy drivers so, yes, I expect he thinks he has a great shot at Webber’s seat.

@george My point (which admittedly I didn’t make too clearly) was that all that seems to happen is a merry-go-round of some new circuit replacing one that’s used up all its government or private funding to hold […]

So much for Bernie’s “Legacy” concept around F1 races then….

All he appears to have achieved is a drip-feed removal of races from the F1 calendar and a bankrupting of circuits and/or world governments. All […]

@prisonermonkeys well, no not really to be honest. Anybody as large and financially strident as Ferrari would want to undertake a due-diligence activity of HRT’s “books” and if we are to believe that they are in […]

@keithcollantine So, based on that rationale Keith, Senna and Maldonado should have been finishing 11th and 12th at each race. Both of them having finished higher than this means they actually outperformed their […]

Totally agree with this. Their attitude, whilst not illegal in the terms of the letter of the law, does not endear fans or other teams to them. They are so fiercely defensive, to the point of arrogance, when […]

Would that mean that Senna could move to Caterham to replace Petrov?

You mean a tenth engine…?

Does this mean that Pic now gets a 10-place drop for every race remaining of the season? Or just Korea?

Seems like a slightly impotent penalty if it’s only for one race?

“Scumbag” isn’t that a little harsh? Seems a bit more of a personality opinion than a racing one.

@prisoner-monkeys How is that a sexist remark exactly? I can understand you disagreeing with his viewpoint on Kaltenborn’s business focus, but there’s nothing in that comment that implies that focus has anything […]

This article confuses me a little. In October’s issue of F1 racing the Maurice Hamilton interview is with Jackie Stewart where he states he is currently working with Grosjean. The interview is actually quite […]

@girts I am surprised that Schui didn’t get a one race ban for Singapore. I think Romain Grosjean can feel a little peeved. If that was the other way around and Vergne had smashed into Schumacher, I expect Vergne […]

Lol at this.

This would really put Red Bull’s nose out of joint, another Energy drinks manufacturer in direct competition for not only advertising on TV but also revenue from the championship.

Perhaps we can persuade […]
