I normally like to mull a race over before writing about it, thinking about its impact on the championships and hunting out various stats. However, I didn’t want to fall into the trap of not writing about it with the Japanese Grand Prix only a week away and with a busy weekend ahead then. This […]
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 […]
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 […]
Not a lot, in all honesty. There was controversy in qualifying when Nico Rosberg claimed pole position even though he went through a double-waved yellow flag section – and only lost a tenth of a second as a result. He claims he dropped off enough, but it doesn’t seem like a huge difference to me. […]
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 […]
In my new tradition of being behind in writing about the 2016 races, I present to you the Austrian Grand Prix – on the weekend of the British Grand Prix. Actually, the 21 race calendar raises the point that we have 4 races in 5 weekends, which is very hard to keep up with! Lewis […]
Absolutely nothing. I’ve been trying to write about this race for the last two weeks and I still haven’t found anything to say. After two incident-packed GP2 races and a surprise in qualifying as Lewis Hamilton hit trouble, plenty of action was expected. Did it reveal the better standard of driving among F1 competitors compared […]
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 […]
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 […]
