Yet another relatively early Saturday morning for qualifying – it begins at 7 am here. The Shanghai circuit isn’t one of the best for creating decent races – I can’t remember a single one and it’s been going since 2004. Last year’s race was notable for being Nico Rosberg‘s first win. The other winners are […]
Ok, so today marks a quarter of a year. I am still surprised that I have managed to write every day so far this year, and I don’t think a lot will stop me now as I’m in a routine. I mentioned yesterday that I wanted to analyse what I’d filled the past 90 days […]
Today was a good little day. My class were out on a trip to the local high school which meant that I was in school with a quiet classroom getting on with jobs. Always a good thing. I added a graph to the school website showing attendances for last week – all I need to do is […]
This evening we were supposed to be playing a Spring concert at Grange Moor, however, because of the snow, that was cancelled. In fact, I should be there bashing stuff at the back right now. The main event of the day has been the Malaysian Grand Prix (my report). A fascinating race with lots of […]
Once again, another fairly early start to the day for the Malaysian Grand Prix. The race begins at 8am. Currently, Sky F1 are showing replays of people making their way to the grid – the track is half dry and half wet, however the wet part appears so wet that the intermediates can’t cope well. […]
A fairly uneventful day. The snow that fell overnight made us stay inside all day. I did a bit of work, Mrs Pitts did a bit of work. That was about it. We did our good deed for the day by helping to push start a neighbour’s car. She works for the NHS and so […]
Another relatively early Saturday morning for qualifying – it begins at 8 am here. Like yesterday, it is still snowing. Malaysia is well-known for its sporadic showers and some may well be due during the sessions. However, the heat there means that it takes a lot of rain to fall before it isn’t simply burnt […]
Up bright and early, 4 hours after going to bed, to watch this race. Settled nicely downstairs with Kit and a cup of coffee. I will certainly be taking a nap after this one even though it’ll be roughly 8am by the time the race is over. Nico Hulkenberg had a major fuel system problem on his […]
Up bright and early to blog about the events at Albert Park. I’ve mentioned before about how excited I am about this! Saturday, 16th March 2013 5:50am. I’m downstairs, ready with a mug of coffee and an excited cat – I think Kit is more excited about being up early than I am. Qualifying is delayed for […]
Tonight has been filled, once again, with maths assessments. Year 3 was tonight’s focus. Over half way there now. Work was difficult today – lots of hard work. Once again, nothing noteworthy or earth shattering happened though. There are less than 7 hours to go now until the first meaningful action of the F1 season begins in […]
