I realise that I haven’t posted much about last year’s Formula One season, but I have been creating my usual graphs to display the progress of each participant in both the drivers and constructors championships throughout the year after each race. Below you can see how the season developed in those title fights, ultimately won […]
I love a good graph. So, here are two showing the Championship points throughout the 2017 F1 season in both Drivers’ and Constructor’s Championships. If we focus on the two title protagonists, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, it’s clear to me that Ferrari, in particular, threw the Championship away with poor reliability and some silly […]
The long wait for the 2017 Formula One Season to begin ended at the end of March. A new era of regulations creating more aggressive looking cars with wider tyres and revised rear wings had generated a lot of interest over the winter break. The takeover by Liberty Media had also seen huge advances in […]
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 […]
Lewis Hamilton continued to keep his title hopes alive with his 50th career victory in Texas last weekend, becoming just the third driver to do so: Alain Prost (51) and Michael Schumacher (91) are ahead of him. However, if Nico Rosberg wins on Sunday and Hamilton fails to finish inside the top nine, Rosberg will […]
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 […]
It occurred to me this morning, while watching the qualifying session for this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix, that I hadn’t written about the last race, two weeks ago, in Singapore. My initial reaction was that, like a few other races this year, not too much happened. Yes, there was a start line accident, caused by […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
