Peter Hunter commented on the post, How (not) to negotiate a contract with Bernie Ecclestone 2 years, 2 months ago
The MP4/4 was a refinement of the MP4/3 which itself took cues from the BT55.
The reason the McLaren looked a lot flatter than the Brabham was two fold. First and foremost, the BMW engine was a 4 cyl. Even […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, "Honda… all fired up!" – 1988 F1 season review video 3 years, 1 month ago
Despite the McLaren walkover, I liked the 1988 season. I also liked the video, but I didn’t actually like the commentary. Moss is definitely better in front of a camera or microphone than he shows in this video […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, Top Ten: F1 season review videos 3 years, 1 month ago
For my money, the worst review video was 1983, mostly because the commentary from Brian Kriesky and Barbara Rosenblat was so bloody painful to listen to. Kriesky’s production company did some wonderful motor […]

Because Hamilton thinks he is untouchable…..as does Vettel it would seem.
You know, Senna used to do a similar thing in his early years. After setting a fastest lap (he didn’t always set pole right at the end […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, "How to win a championship" – 1989 F1 season video review 4 years, 5 months ago
100% agree.
One thing from 1989 that bugs me is the amount of crap heaped on Prost for his so-called political games in getting Ballestre to interfere on his behalf and get Senna DQ’d from Japan so that he, a […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, "Lucky" Webber honoured to join Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame 4 years, 6 months ago
Unfortunately there just isn’t the home grown sponsorship dollars on offer for young Aussie’s and Kiwis to go over to Europe or even the US and be successful. Those who do make it certainly earn it and as you […]

@StefMeister – That is a big, fat, 100% agree from me
Peter Hunter commented on the post, "Lucky" Webber honoured to join Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame 4 years, 6 months ago
A lot of Australian racing drivers go overseas early in their career with hopes of making it in the big time. Unfortunately, not through lack of talent but mainly through lack of money, most don’t make it and end […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, Top ten: Worst rules ever seen in F1 4 years, 10 months ago
I’m kinda surprised the old turbo equivalency formula wasn’t mentioned. In no way known was a 3.0L V8, V12 or flat 12 the equivalent to a 1.5L turbo powered car and the power figures quoted throughout the mid-80’s […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, Top ten: Worst rules ever seen in F1 4 years, 10 months ago
Unfortunately when they had more entries than grid spots (1989-1992 or 1993), some of the cars were junk and the drivers racing in those low budget teams were not really deserving of a spot in F1. In a way […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, In pictures: McLaren's ten greatest 'MP4' cars 4 years, 10 months ago
Personally I would have loved to have seen the MP4/9 with the Lamborghini V12 McLaren tested in mid-late 1993 rather than the Peugeot V10 they ended up with. It might have enticed Senna to stay with the team and […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, Top ten: Longest Formula One grand prix circuits 4 years, 10 months ago
When the 1967 French Grand Prix was announced for the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans, there was actually a private push among the drivers to use the full 13.461 km Sarthe circuit instead. Most found the Bugatti track […]

That comment from the Dutch commentator show’s a special kind of stupid.
Even Max himself admitted he made a mistake.
Peter Hunter commented on the post, Verstappen apologises for Ricciardo clash but collects penalty points 4 years, 11 months ago
Again losing to his team mate……
So far in 2017 Ricciardo has 117 points, Verstappen has 67. Dan has 5 podium finishes including 1 win. Max has 1 podium and 0 wins.
I think that means that Dan has beaten […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, Verstappen apologises for Ricciardo clash but collects penalty points 4 years, 11 months ago
I wouldn’t say that Sainz would have gotten those points, but you are right in saying that Max has cost RBR a fair chunk of points this year.
Rule #1 for a race driver is beat your team mate, but don’t take […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, "Team Lotus: My view from the pit wall" by Peter Warr – review 5 years, 1 month ago
Peter Warr made a habit out of making public predictions that went belly up on him. Mansell never winning a race is the obvious one, but there were others. Two from 1988 come to mind…..
At the San Marino GP […]

Keith does come across as a bit pro-Senna and anti-Prost when it comes to the happenings at the 1989 Japanese Grand Prix, but that’s his right, his opinion. He see’s it in Senna’s favour. However, other than that […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, 27: Patrick Tambay – The Ferrari Years review 5 years, 1 month ago
Why was the 1983 Race of Champions significant? From what I remember, when Arnoux racing was at Brands Hatch, most of the F1 regulars were actually at a scheduled tyre test at Paul Ricard just a week out from the […]
Peter Hunter commented on the post, The gap widens: Just three cars finished on the lead lap 5 years, 1 month ago
When I started watching F1 back in the mid-80’s it wasn’t uncommon for the third placed car to be lapped as well, and once in a while the winner lapped everyone (at least, those who finished because reliability […]

You’d have to wonder if they should bring out the old 1980’s turbo and give it a run……
