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 […]
The odds were always in his favour, but Nico Rosberg eventually became World Champion this afternoon. He becomes the 33rd person to achieve that feat. 21 of them are still alive. He is also the third German driver to do this after Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. Lewis Hamilton became the first driver to win […]
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 […]
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 […]

It’s been really nice not having to write something about every day, I’ll be honest. Having said that, my evening routine of writing before bed is missed and, now that I’ve had a little break from blogging after last year’s effort, I want to find a happy medium where I’m writing because I have things […]
300. Wow. The 100th post was this one, the 200th post was this one and the 300th post this year is being written now. Unless you are reading it, in which case it was written earlier. Today, the clocks went back – I hate that as it takes a little while to get back into […]
The Japanese Grand Prix was one of the better races in this last half of the season. It wasn’t a race dominated by one car, there were battles through the field and it was a bit of a cracker all round.
