F1 Fanatic

@wasif1 In five years it produced one good race. So what are the odds of Valencia delivering again in 2013?

Indeed, and don’t forget to add: a very happy birthday to @wasif1 too!

@wasif1

a team that is match by pace GP2 cars don’t deserve an F1 slot

HRT were on average almost four seconds per lap quicker than the GP2 pole sitter based on a comparison of dry qualifying sessions this […]

@wasiF1 Yep. It was a decent race in my opinion.

@wasif1 – That information isn’t exactly in the public domain. Most of the venues keep pretty quiet about how much they spend. It’s only in places where the money spent is a political issue (ie Australia, South […]

I think it will be something like doing a straight line test maybe, don’t expect much more than that @wasif1

@wasiF1 I’m not sure about Massa. Yes, he didn’t perform last year, but he serves Ferrari well. He does what they tell him.

You could argue that Ferrari aren’t bothered about the Constructors Championship and […]

@wasif1 I’m just glad someone other than me has made a spelling error for a change!

@wasif1 I certainly don’t want to see Alguersuari probe himself! ;)

@wasiF1

Alguersuari should have been given another chance to probe himself

Best. Typo. Ever.

@wasif1 Bird was their test driver in 2010 and their unofficial one last year, but I doubt he will be confirmed because of his not-so-great results. I heard last september they would have signed Vietoris and […]

@wasiF1, if you look at the driver list on Wikipedia it shows Mercedes reserve/test role as TBA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Formula_One_season#Signed_teams_and_drivers

@wasiF1 there was an article on a dutch newssite that claimed that Kubica will become a Ferrari reserve driver when he recovers and that he can use their simulator.

@wasiF1 yes; where did we see that?

In fact most of the races where most difference was observed were towards the end. Korea for one; India for another; etc.

@wasiF1 Pirelli began to go conservative in selecting tyres for venues. Yes. Tyres started to last longer (not really as a function of Pirellis changing; but rather of the cars growing kinder on the tyres). […]

@wasiF1 how on earth do you come to that conclusion?

@wasif1 backwards compared to their initial plans for this year. But I would guess its mainly because of the new rules for crash tests. Don’t forget, that HRT only appeared with their 2010 nosecone on the car in […]

@wasif1 Well, last year HRT didn’t test their new car before the start of the season at all. Virgin did but their cars still turned out to be only slightly quicker than HRTs. I think we have to wait at least until […]

@Wasif1 You might be on to something there!

@wasiF1 I think he’s landed a dream seat there. Mercedes should be one of the most competitive teams in the future, starting in 2012. The chance to build a team around you like that with the expertise and […]
