Once again, another fairly early start to the day for the Malaysian Grand Prix. The race begins at 8am. Currently, Sky F1 are showing replays of people making their way to the grid – the track is half dry and half wet, however the wet part appears so wet that the intermediates can’t cope well. […]
Another relatively early Saturday morning for qualifying – it begins at 8 am here. Like yesterday, it is still snowing. Malaysia is well-known for its sporadic showers and some may well be due during the sessions. However, the heat there means that it takes a lot of rain to fall before it isn’t simply burnt […]
I’m still amazed I’ve made it this far into this project. I have never kept something up for so long before. Today was reasonable. Work was its usual thing, with the afternoon for PPA time during which I completed many smaller jobs that had been niggling away at me for the school’s website. There is one more […]
Up bright and early to blog about the events at Albert Park. I’ve mentioned before about how excited I am about this! Saturday, 16th March 2013 5:50am. I’m downstairs, ready with a mug of coffee and an excited cat – I think Kit is more excited about being up early than I am. Qualifying is delayed for […]
After almost recovering from the disappointment of not becoming Pope, I was told this morning that I couldn’t take my PPA time this afternoon due to much illness in school. I – for the first time in a long time – feel good at the moment. So I’m owed an afternoon. This was particularly difficult, […]
Today was the day that two more cars were launched, leaving just one – the Williams – to be seen at the next test next week. In other things, we completed a geocache (GC3V9GP) in the cold wind and rain. Work was a fairly good day. Literacy at the moment is all about performance poetry […]
Today McLaren revealed the car they hope will lead them to their first World Championship since 2008. The car, looks neat and tidy with quite a few changes from their previous offering. The biggest change comes in drivers though with Lewis Hamilton having left the team that he has grown up with in order to try […]
So, here we are, hours before the first race in Europe of the 2012 Formula One season. Four races in, four different winners – Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel– and no real pattern has emerged from this muddy pond as to who has the best car. Not only have we had […]
I’m placing these two races together as they were a week apart and I hadn’t got round to writing about Australia before Malaysia had started… my usual rubbish self. This draft has sat here for nearly a week now too… Anyway. Statistics after these two races: Australian Grand Prix, 18th March 2012 Jenson Button produced a […]
Back in February, I wrote about the new moveable wing, or Drag Reduction System (DRS), that would be used throughout the year in Formula One for the first time. I wrote this: A pass at the pinnacle of motor sport should be something momentous that should be celebrated in my view. I hope it doesn’t create A pass at […]
