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.
