I have gotten a little behind in my write-ups of the Formula One season, so I’m doing them both in one post – particularly as this weekend sees the title-deciding season finale in Abu Dhabi. Mexico first. Lewis Hamilton won the race which was thrilling for around ten laps – 5 at the start and 5 […]
I haven’t written about the Mexico Grand Prix yet – to be fair there isn’t a huge amount to write about. There was interest at the start, and interest at the end but the middle section was pretty dull. However, the title races currently looks like this, with Mercedes dominating the Constructor’s Championship for another […]
Firstly, this is a late post from yesterday simply because I didn’t watch the Mexico Grand Prix live, but after band. And then I went to bed. As the race finished, we saw that Max Verstappen had been given a 5 second penalty, enough to drop him from third to fifth. We then had to […]
Lewis Hamilton continued to keep his title hopes alive with his 50th career victory in Texas last weekend, becoming just the third driver to do so: Alain Prost (51) and Michael Schumacher (91) are ahead of him. However, if Nico Rosberg wins on Sunday and Hamilton fails to finish inside the top nine, Rosberg will […]
Nico Rosberg strengthened his position at the top of the Driver’s Championship with another dominant victory at Suzuka, his lead is now 33 points with four races left – he can secure the title without winning another race this season if needed. Mercedes sealed their third consecutive Constructors’ Championship at the race with Lewis Hamilton’s […]
I normally like to mull a race over before writing about it, thinking about its impact on the championships and hunting out various stats. However, I didn’t want to fall into the trap of not writing about it with the Japanese Grand Prix only a week away and with a busy weekend ahead then. This […]
It occurred to me this morning, while watching the qualifying session for this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix, that I hadn’t written about the last race, two weeks ago, in Singapore. My initial reaction was that, like a few other races this year, not too much happened. Yes, there was a start line accident, caused by […]
The 2016 edition of the Italian Grand Prix was one dominated from start to finish by Nico Rosberg. His pole-sitting team-mate, Lewis Hamilton threw his opportunity for victory away at the start by making a poor start – however, he still finished second. Rosberg was unthreatened throughout the race and finished 15 seconds ahead of […]
A mixed up grid promised an exciting race – but then they promised us that Baku would be exciting too and that was a snooze fest. It was great to see the stands so full as well, after a Summer of half-full Olympic venues and a few races with less than capacity crowds. Nico Rosberg […]
I allow BBC News to send me notifications on my phone and tablet. This can be both a curse and a blessing. I don’t really watch the news much these days, preferring instead to not have that slice of misery in my life. However, it has struck me that there is an element of unfairness […]
