“I thought that flip was due an 8.5 at least!”
Lin1876 commented on the post, What is 'size zero'? What counts as a start? More of your questions answered 6 years, 4 months ago
Then there’s Hans Heyer, who failed to qualify in his only F1 appearance (1977 German Grand Prix) but started anyway and lasted 9 laps before breaking down, then subsequently being disqualified.
A start or not […]

1. Other than Mercedes, which teams will win races this year? Ferrari
2. What will be the best result for Haas? around 9th

4. Which […]
Lin1876 commented on the post, Was Brazil more proof F1's overtaking gimmicks aren't working any more? 6 years, 9 months ago
I maintain that 2010 was the best season in recent years. Free from DRS and Pirelli tyres, there were three teams and five drivers capable of winning on any given weekend, meaning that going into any given weekend […]
Lin1876 commented on the post, Did FOM give Mercedes its 'invisible treatment' in Japan? 6 years, 10 months ago
I didn’t watch qualifying so can’t comment, but I didn’t notice anything untoward in the race coverage today. With the exception of the first couple of corners, Hamilton was barely near anyone all race, while […]

“Hey, Fernando, wasn’t he your team mate last year?”
Lin1876 commented on the post, The 2015 F1 season in 20 questions 7 years, 5 months ago
1. Other than Mercedes, which teams will win races this year?
Red Bull, Williams, Ferrari
2. Who will score more points: Sebastian Vettel or Daniil Kvyat?
Vettel
3. What will be McLaren’s best […]
Lin1876 commented on the post, Sochi holds first race weekend ahead of Russian GP 7 years, 11 months ago
I think as much as anything, it demonstrates some kind of motorsport culture in the country that they can hold a race weekend outwith the Grand Prix (again, unlike Korea, which I recall only had a Hyundai race to support F1).

I think a 10 place penalty is fair enough. I don’t think there was malice in Prost’s actions, though it was an exceptionally rash and silly move made in the heat of the moment, and without those stupid high kerbs Heidfeld would’ve spun harmlessly into the barrier. I wouldn’t have complained about a race ban to set an example though, and Prost was…[Read more]

That commentary is just amazing, absolutely makes the video.
I know there are jokes about Japanese drivers being used to driving in the wet, and there’s loads of Formula Nippon footage of conditions similar to this. Must’ve been absolutely terrifying!

Alonso. That car has no right to be anywhere close to the podium, yet he was only a few laps away from winning in it. Didn’t put a foot wrong while chaos broke out around him and made all the right moves at the […]

“I wish my seat was as secure as that one.”
Lin1876 commented on the post, Rate the race: 2014 Monaco Grand Prix 8 years, 2 months ago
Talking points, incidents, some incredible overtakes, there was usually something happening, and a feel-good result with Bianchi in the points. 9.
Lin1876 commented on the post, Did the stewards get Maldonado's penalty right? 8 years, 4 months ago
It was clumsy more than anything, and in most circumstances it would have resulted in a broken front wing and Gutierrez pointing the wrong way. That said, I think the cumulative effect of these accidents makes us […]
Lin1876 commented on the post, Rate the race: 2014 Bahrain Grand Prix 8 years, 4 months ago
It wasn’t breathtaking like the very best races, but I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Great, clean racing up and down the field with some thrilling moments. A comfortable 9.
Lin1876 replied to the topic What we want to see in Codemasters' F1 2014 in the forum F1 Games 8 years, 4 months ago
I’d like to see F1 2014 work. Admittedly, I haven’t bought an F1 game since F1 2011, but I get the impression that a lot of things like penalties haven’t been fixed since. If we could just get a functionally sorted game (like F1 CE was all those years ago) with the improved weather, damage and handling of the Codemasters games I’d buy into…[Read more]
Lin1876 commented on the post, Rate the race: 2014 Malaysian Grand Prix 8 years, 4 months ago
I’m feeling generous, 6. It wasn’t exactly “bad”, but not much happened. Most passing was the result of DRS and/or tyres, and there were very few battles or even incidents of note. I was rarely bored though, and […]
