I’m kind of curious why I have seen no mention anywhere of a potential problem for Alonso for stopping on the track at the end, it makes Hamiltons complete grid penalty look very very harsh, I know Hamiltons was […]

is there actually space to line up all the cars in most of the pit lanes?
and there would also be a major engine overheating problem for cars that could be up to 90+ seconds behind the leader.
Let alone the […]SamC commented on the post, New HRT F112 seen for the first time in Spain 10 years, 3 months ago

@ajokay it’s to ensure the safety of the driver and to prevent the teams putting them on a track in a car that doesn’t meet standard, whether the test is private or not doesn’t make any difference at all

Argh, all these little interviews and bits of news from testing are making it really difficult to choose my fantasy F1 team, was thinking of putting at least one lotus in there until today, oh well

It would be useful to not use the F1F facebook page and feeding F1F tweets onto facebook during the broadcast gap, we don’t want to have to avoid everything. That’s the trouble with the whole world being so […]

I’m getting used to the noses looking like platypus now, but I’m starting to think all the cars just look too similar, except the McLaren with it’s smooth nose of course and the hideous Ferrari at the other […]

Oh dear, it looks like it’s already crashed and had it’s nose broken!

SamC commented on the post, Which teams will still be in F1 in ten years' time? 10 years, 5 months ago
It’s a slightly odd question, as we know many of the names that have left F1 only really changed ownership while the actual team remained fairly stable.
It comes down to who we feel is actually more important in […]SamC commented on the post, Vote for the best F1 driver of 2011 10 years, 6 months ago
There’s some here that seem to wish to separate the cars performance from the drivers to compare the drivers. I feel that this is a bit unfair, after all the drivers work all season in practice sessions and with […]

I think that’s the question a lot of the voters are answering already,

As I understand it the concorde agreement (as long as it lasts) guarantees that there are some free-to-air broadcast races in the UK which is why we have this bizarre sharing arrangement in the first place.

If the tires are this much of a problem then there does have to be a question of Pirelli and whether they have the right compounds for the track.
That said I’m not sure we can blame Pirelli or the qualifying […]
