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 […]

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 […]

276: What happened in the 2016 Singapore Grand Prix?

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 […]

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 […]

217: What happened in the 2016 German Grand Prix?

They say you can’t have too much of a good thing, and this being the longest ever Formula One season you would hope that would apply. However, in the last 8 weeks, we have seen 6 races. Some of them have been ok, a couple have been very good, but a couple have also been […]

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 […]

164: What happened in the 2016 Monaco Grand Prix?

In another edition of “I meant to write this ages ago but life got in the way” I present to you my latest F1 update, two weeks after the event… ————————————————- Red Bull threw away a victory for Daniel Ricciardo, that’s what, leaving Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes to collect the 25 points for the […]

77: What will this weekend in F1 bring?

This weekend sees the Australian Grand Prix, the start of the 2016 Formula One Season. So far, reports suggest that it might be a wet start to the season with Saturday’s qualifying session potentially being affected by wet weather – dry conditions are expected for race day however. The new qualifying format may or may not […]
