126: What happened in the 2016 Russian Grand Prix?

Nico Rosberg won his seventh consecutive race and Sebastian Vettel crashed – or rather was crashed into. In Russia, another power unit problem hampered Lewis Hamilton’s hopes and Kimi Raikkonen was too busy fighting a Williams to pose a significant threat which had looked likely earlier on in the weekend. Nico Rosberg now has 100 out […]

120: Should F1 adopt the canopy driver protection system?

In my view, no matter what the looks of the car are, safety is absolutely paramount. The aesthetics of the proposed Red Bull system, introduced today as a test in Russia’s Frist Practice session, are a lot better than Ferrari’s halo system – which is a terrible design. I’m not convinced they suit the car […]

This makes his championship lead 36 points ahead of his team mate Lewis Hamilton, […]

94: What happened in the 2016 Bahrain Grand Prix?

Quite a lot. Here are the main things: lots of battling through the midfield runners; another points scoring finish for Haas F1; the fifth consecutive race win for Nico Rosberg; a debut points finish for Stoffel Vandoorne. What didn’t happen is probably more significant though. There was no real battle for the lead – Rosberg […]

79: What was wrong with qualifying for the 2016 Australian Grand Prix?

Quite a lot. The new system sees the slowest car knocked out every 90 seconds in the second part of each of three sessions. The teams had warned everyone wince the changes were announced – just three weeks ago – that the new format would result in no cars on track at the end of the […]

52: What will Formula One cars look like in 2016?

I know day 50 had the same question, but some more Formula One teams have released images of their new cars that use this great system. McLaren, who endured their worst season ever in 2015, will be looking to settle things down and turn things around this year. Mercedes, who have dominated F1 for the […]

37: Does Kevin Magnussen deserve a second chance in F1?

It was recently announced that Kevin Magnussen will replace Pastor Maldonado at the Enstone based Renault team for 2016 – the former Lotus outfit is being rebranded as Renault yet again. It’s quite rare for a driver to leave the sport and return again. Once you lose your seat, you don’t usually appear again – […]
