The 2017 F1 Season: Final Championship Points

I love a good graph. So, here are two showing the Championship points throughout the 2017 F1 season in both Drivers’ and Constructor’s Championships. If we focus on the two title protagonists, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, it’s clear to me that Ferrari, in particular, threw the Championship away with poor reliability and some silly […]

What happened in the 2017 Australian Grand Prix?

The long wait for the 2017 Formula One Season to begin ended at the end of March. A new era of regulations creating more aggressive looking cars with wider tyres and revised rear wings had generated a lot of interest over the winter break. The takeover by Liberty Media had also seen huge advances in […]

364: Why haven’t I written about the end of the Formula One season?

Simply because I’ve been distracted by other projects… bits and bobs. And also because the shock retirement of Nico Rosberg soon after clinching his title came as a huge surprise. It threw the driver’s market into disarray. There still hasn’t been an announcement about Lewis Hamilton’s teammate for next year, but the strong rumours surrounding […]

302: What happened in the 2016 US Grand Prix?

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 […]

292: What happened in the 2016 Japanese Grand Prix?

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 […]

249: What happened in the 2016 Italian Grand Prix?

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 […]

205: What happened in the 2016 British Grand Prix?

Yet again, two weeks ago there was a Formula One race which I never wrote about. I’m sitting watching the first practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix as I type this. I will certainly try to keep up to date over the Summer. The biggest talking point of the race was Nico Rosberg who […]

172: What happened in the 2016 Canadian Grand Prix?

Lewis Hamilton took his fifth Canadian Grand Prix victory last weekend, edging him closer to the record of Michael Schumacher, who won seven times in Montreal. The record for victories at the same circuit, by the way, is held by Schumacher, but at the French circuit of Magny-Cours, where he won eight times. This was […]

108: What happened in the 2016 Chinese Grand Prix?

Nico Rosberg continued to develop his perfect start to the 2016 Formula One season by emerging as the winner at this morning’s Chinese Grand Prix – crossing the line more than half a minute ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Daniil Kvyat. 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 […]
