About Me

Background

Born August 1961 in Rijeka, Croatia. Electrotechnical engineer, and F1 fan from my 10th.

I like technology, all kinds of technology, especially technology in Formula 1.

How It All Started

Everything started in my sixth or seventh grade. Some 50 years ago!!!

I was an aeromodeller, and my instructor was in love with F1 and aerodynamics. He used to compare aerodynamics in F1 and planes. Of course, I was intrigued, and I wanted to see what is so fascinating in this F1 thing. And I found it.

From then, I passed through all the good and bad things in F1, fascinations and disappointments, politics and all that comes with it.

A Note on Bias

In all this time, I’m a Ferrari fan. For me, Ferrari is a legend, history. And one thing more: Ferrari team is in first place. Drivers come and go, and basically they are there only because of money and their own success. I’m an F1 fan for free. That means I respect them, but I respect Ferrari (or any other team) more. But I’m not a crazy, blinded fan – I respect all teams, they are all part of great F1 I like.

As I said on the Home page, I’m a Ferrari fan, but this site is not biased in any way. This is a site about Formula 1 and racing technology, and there, all teams are involved. In many cases, “small” teams like Williams, Lotus, Minardi, and Tyrrell bent the rules back in the days with average budgets, but with amazing ideas and inventions, and ideas from these small teams are today the base for the F1 we know.

If you find something on this site you think is biased, you have to know that this site is only mine, is not sponsored by anybody, and basically I don’t care. I’m doing this site only because of my pleasure, and for all of you, real racing fans.

I love this sport!
