antifia commented on the post, Marko still believes Red Bull will win five races this year 3 years, 7 months ago
With no proof whatsoever, just a feeling: Didn’t the race yesterday look staged to you? I mean, suddenly Merc is way off the pace and Hamilton doesn’t say a thing while there in 4th in no man’s land for most of […]

Paulrus, now that you say that I obviously don’t understand racing, I finally see the errors of my way …. oh lord master of all that runs on 4 wheels… Now serious mate, setting the pace and driving erratically […]

This is completely bonkers… Lewis behaves like a child when his team mate dares to compete with him. He likes to have subservient fellows like Kovi and Bottas on the other car… Last year he went so far as […]

@fluxsource Hate to break the news to you, but disagreeing with you is not the definition of the word lying.
I watched the race and, at least here, the broadcaster showed the incident ad-nauseam…one of the t […]

@rpaco Not acquainted with the concept of sarcasm mate?
Further, in a race where LH reduces from 75km/h in the apex to 50km/h at the end of that blind corner with the whole field behind him and the safety car […]
antifia commented on the post, Hamilton matches Senna's podium tally as Vettel's points streak ends 7 years, 5 months ago
Add Fangio to this list and you’d have my top 5 of all times…expect that Senna is on the top of my list – but this is only my opinion, of course.
antifia commented on the post, Hamilton matches Senna's podium tally as Vettel's points streak ends 7 years, 5 months ago
No, he only had Prost as a teamate in the years that Mclaren had a Merc-like dominance (although the dominance of Mclaren in 1989 was not really like that of the Mercs today). So Senna had De Angelis, Nakagima, […]
antifia commented on the post, Hamilton matches Senna's podium tally as Vettel's points streak ends 7 years, 5 months ago
My memory differs. The Toleman was an awful car (something like the Saubers today) and he did get a podium in it. Then came 3 years in a mid-field Lotus …. comparable today with, well, Lotus. Then in 1992 and […]

Totally agree. Call me a romantic, but every time they mutilate these great circuits and put a Tilkeresque piece of grief in its place, my F1 hart dies a little – what he did to Hokenheinm warrants jail time in my […]

i meant, he won 6 races..

@dragol – Things didn’t go fast at all to Senna, compared with how things go today (see LH and Seb’s careers) Senna didn’t have a car that could be expected to be a front runner (or thereabouts) untill his 5th […]

I don’t know @rm, the way I see it, RB had a completely dominant car in 2011 and 2013. In 2012, it was at least level with Ferrari, if not a notch higher – faster but less reliable. The jury is out on 2010. In my […]

Never let the facts get in the way of good story eh, @elio? Here is a different perspective: The points rule in 1988 were neither new nor unknown to the drivers. When Mclaren dominance became clear very early on, […]
antifia commented on the post, How should Williams have handled Massa and Bottas? 7 years, 6 months ago
Yep Massa is awful….it is certainly his fault that except for that incredibly long 2 laps period in which they were told not to race each other, Valteri didn’t have the competence to overtake him in the other 50 […]
antifia commented on the post, How should Williams have handled Massa and Bottas? 7 years, 6 months ago
It was completely down to the double DRS zones. After the 1st pit stops, when Massa finally managed to break the 1sec toe for the 1st time, they were never together again. From then on, Massa was comfortably […]

“This time Bottas was initially forbidden from trying to pass Massa. However the pit wall then reversed its position, allowing Bottas to attack. However by the time they had done so he felt his best opportunity to […]
antifia commented on the post, Why didn't Rosberg pit? More of your F1 questions 7 years, 8 months ago
I have a conspiracy theory for you. I think Mercedes only miscalculed (just) about where Lewis would return in relation to Vettel. I think they knew all too well that he would come behind Nico. The idea would be […]
antifia commented on the post, Hamilton: I gave Rosberg space to avoid contact 8 years, 5 months ago
Indeed, what happened out there? As racing incidents go, this one could not be more normal. Completely shameful was the public reaction of Toto Wolf and Nick Lauda – you don’t through your driver to the wolves […]

A world in which you drive a car that is 2 secs faster than that of the closest rival team. In such world, it is you against your team mate and you came out second – failure it is.
antifia commented on the post, Why we hear more drivers disobeying team orders 8 years, 6 months ago
Never a fan of team orders, I’m happy it was not followed in the last grand prix (so I won’t be raging if Nico returns the favor). What grates with me though is not so much the inconsistency of the drivers’ […]
