This is a ten minute timed post. Whatever I have on the screen after ten minutes is getting published. My day has consisted of work. I have created an online form for a class survey that has been completed over 30 times in the last hour – the power of Facebook… (remind me again, […]
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 […]
Nico Rosberg goes into tomorrow’s final Formula One race in Abu Dhabi 12 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton. If Hamilton wins at the Yas Marina Circuit, Rosberg must finish third or better. If Hamilton crosses the line in second place, Rosberg needs to be sixth or better. If the German finishes seventh, they would be […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The 107% rule is a little bit of a relic hidden away inside the Formula One regulations. It is to do with qualifying, and separating those cars who might not be fast enough to complete in a race safely. I remember its introduction in 1996 and it basically killing off the Forti team as they […]
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 […]
I am known for my love of motor racing. I am one of those people who will rewatch races even though I generally can remember what happens if I’ve seen the race before. Much to the annoyance of those who have to sit with me while I watch them… Some are harder to watch than […]
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, […]
