F1 Fanatic

Quite right. Although there were unquestionably some great races in 2010, they were either rain-affected, or on circuits that often provide classic racing. Not all the circuits on the calendar will provide […]

It’s not an f1.8, in that picture at least. The background blurring is down to a slow shutter-speed and the photographer tracking the cars. Telephoto lenses like the one used to take the photo don’t have apertures […]

I think Mark Webber had the best take on the weekend with his #wavingtomarshalls hashtag.

If he were to keep one design for the rest of his career, I would like it to be this one. It stands out nicely, yet it seems like an enduring design, unlike some of the more ridiculous efforts he has sported over the years.

Luca is being doubly disingenuous, seeing as Ferrari took their last constructors championship for the next 16 years in 1982 and 1983 with the V6 Turbo engined 126 C2 & 3. A V6 engine is undoubtedly a part of the […]

Impressive total from Germany, considering there are still only 2 German world champions. I guess having two such dominant world champions as well as a strong representation in the current field, where more points […]

Just what F1 needs, another slow, insipid street circuit in a country with nothing to offer F1 but a large pot of cash. Bernie seems to be taking every step possible to decimate F1′s TV viewership with these awful […]

Let’s hope that Byron Young is right about the revised track layout. The track is so lacking in character, that after 4 years, the layout of the Marina Bay circuit still isn’t particularly obvious whilst the race […]

Having two pay drivers has been their real achilles heel. Next year should be better, assuming that they put Bottas in the car. Even so, it’s not a given that Bottas will be particularly consistent either. As […]

I think that the safety car actually deprived us of any chance for a battle for the lead. At the time that Karthikeyan went into the wall, Button’s tires were 5 laps fresher than Vettels, when the safety car came […]

I feel I should vote for Maldonado here, you have to give the man credit, he didn’t actually crash this weekend!

I actually voted for Perez – without him, the race would have been unwatchable.

I think it’s important to note that not all of Maldonado’s penalties have come from his rash on-circuit conduct, he has had a few from gearbox and other technical infringements. Nonetheless, I think there perhaps […]

It’s the attitude that needs to be corrected though; Grosjean swerved across on the grid, as many other drivers do, and was unfortunate to cause a dangerous pile-up. Just because Maldonado hasn’t caused a massive […]

I totally agree with you there, Grosjean was unfortunate that his actions produced a crash of such magnitude. Although his move was careless, it surely wasn’t any worse than many of Maldonado’s on-track antics, […]

This helmet goes a lot better with the Mercedes. The Red helmet was only chosen to differentiate himself from Barrichello whilst at Ferrari, and looked a lot better in that car than in the Silver Arrows. I still […]

It seems appropriate really, Schumacher made a bit of a habit of spoiling Barrichello’s career.
