I’ve just seen the video on the BBC of Vettel getting booed. I know in sports like football the crowd can be hostile, but I never thought F1 would be the same.

Presumably it’s not just the dominance, but the […]

“Hey Nick, we need some kind of drag reduction system here”

I’ve not posted on F1 Fanatic in a while, but I keep getting annoyed about the double points rule, I can’t keep it in any longer: what on earth are they thinking!?

A friend of mine has met Nigel Mansell, and she pointed me in the direction of this video. I thought it was amazing to see how quickly he adapted to the game. Worth a […]

Rosberg, Massa and Webber seem to be out-pacing their more illustrious teammates, on today’s evidence at least. What’re the odds I wonder that those three make up the podium on Sunday?

Comment of the day needed to be said! The BBC Sport comments sections are full of people moralising the whole thing based on prejudice and guess-work.

Lots of moral debates going on, lots of +1ing and outrage, and it all seems a bit much.

Vettel didn’t betray Webber – he has no more of an obligation to Webber than he does to any other driver. He disobeyed […]

While Vettel gives it the thumbs up, Webber tries to show his dissatisfaction with Red Bull’s new two-man cockpit.

The Bahrain article is brilliant, Keith. I remember thinking so at the time and it’s even better with the benefit of hindsight and detachment.

On that issue, will we get a repeat in a few month’s time? There […]

Have to say I’m disappointed in Alonso’s tweet if the translation I’ve read is accurate.

If Vettel did break the rules I still don’t think he could be accused of cheating or bad sportsmanship, yet Alonso’s […]

Absolutely brilliant race! The lack of grip early on almost made it into a wet race, everyone was sliding about wheel to wheel. Good that the championship is not over as well, so that’s a plus. Also nice to see […]

It’s no more ridiculous than team orders, but is exactly what LDM means when he talks about having ‘one rooster’ in a team. Why is anyone surprised? It makes perfect sense for them to do this.

They’re not […]

Sebastian Vettel! ‘**** it up’ – what a man. If there were any lingering doubts about the man, today must surely have proved he is an amiable guy and a great racer of cars. And I’m a Hamilton fan.

Fernando Alonso is a remarkable driver. At no point has a sportsman of any sport managed to overturn the instinctive and irrational dislike such as that I had for him a few years ago. He’s smart, quick and amiable […]

I had adverts on the BBC website for a while – it’s either because you’re not the UK or because there’s something on your computer that’s putting them there, in my case a rogue toolbar.

Thought the BBC’s analysis of Grosjean was ok, then they juxtapose his crashes with Donnington ’93. Hardly seems fair – everyone looks ordinary compared to that.

@andrewtanner Oh man, I feel so embarrassed. I hate it when people don’t read articles properly, now I’ve gone and done it.

I’ve misread something – where’s the Nurburgring? Hockenheim was this year, I thought they were alternating?

@bag0
True, but can you think of those two ever putting showbusiness and fame before F1? In hiring Fuller and XIX Hamilton’s done just that.

Having said that, he’s been brilliant this year and Belgium was […]

The whole Hamilton-Mercedes story leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I got into F1 with Interlagos 2008, he’s always been my driver, but it’s becoming more difficult to ignore the fact that his priorities are […]
