I should have done more than I actually did today, especially given that yesterday I did very little. Still, I have a bit of a clearer idea of what the week has in store for me. I am being observed later in the week too, so a fair bit of time has gone into planning […]
Work was the aim of the day. And work I did. Between watching qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tomorrow and visiting dad. And grabbing a cache (even though I said I wouldn’t). Mark Webber begins the race on pole and is now in his last few races in Formula One. It would be […]
Today I have mainly focussed on work. I haven’t even left the house. Mrs Pitts grabbed our cache for the day while she was out visiting friends. So, what did I do? I sat on the sofa and worked. I had a few jobs to cross off my list and managed a fair bit of […]
Today was the British Grand Prix! I’ve been excited about it for so long! Qualifying had set up an interesting grid, the weather was fabulous and all was good. Unlike Friday and Saturday, we were confined to one seat today in Village – part of the of new Loop section. This was a good place […]

Fastest lap: Mark Webber, Red Bull-Renault, 1m33.401s Not classified/retirements: Sergio Perez, McLaren-Mercedes, 47 laps Sebastien Vettel, Red Bull-Renault, 42 […]
After a long-ish journey, we arrived at the circuit in time for first practice. It had been raining fairly heavily – enough for wet tyres to be needed. We missed a lot of the early action though and so didn’t see the Lotus or McLaren cars at all in that session.We watched this from Woodcote […]
Just like Monaco, the threat of rain is in the air here. It has been around most of the event so far and it has been dry up to this point. Practice 3 earlier was wet and drying – but it was also cut short due to a heavy crash at turn 11 in a […]
The threat of rain is in the air here – the first time in a long time that qualifying at Monaco may be wet. Three drivers face a tough battle after crashes in free practice 3 earlier. Romain Grosjean got the chaos started when he tagged the barrier at the chicane and needed to come in […]
Felipe Massa will receive a three-place grid penalty for the Spanish Grand Prix for impeding Mark Webber in the second part of qualifying yesterday. Esteban Gutierrez gets the same punishment for blocking Kimi Raikkonen earlier in the session. The starting grid for today’s race therefore looks like this (drivers with penalties in italics): Nico Rosberg, Mercedes […]
Firstly, I am not watching qualifying live. I have been completing a job outside and so the result has already been decided. Some news though, Lewis Hamilton will receive a 5 place grid penalty for having to change his gearbox after a third practice accident. Mark Webber and Esteban Gutierrez will also have 5 place penalties. The […]
