Not a lot, in all honesty. There was controversy in qualifying when Nico Rosberg claimed pole position even though he went through a double-waved yellow flag section – and only lost a tenth of a second as a result. He claims he dropped off enough, but it doesn’t seem like a huge difference to me. […]
Yet again, two weeks ago there was a Formula One race which I never wrote about. I’m sitting watching the first practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix as I type this. I will certainly try to keep up to date over the Summer. The biggest talking point of the race was Nico Rosberg who […]
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 […]
Firstly, this was a couple of weekends ago… I’ve been busy working on other projects, stopping me from writing about this. However, it was a record-breaking race in many, many ways. This was Max Verstappen’s first win – and it owed a lot to the clash between the two Mercedes drivers on the opening lap […]
Nico Rosberg won his seventh consecutive race and Sebastian Vettel crashed – or rather was crashed into. https://youtu.be/GJKRtY5JdiY In Russia, another power unit problem hampered Lewis Hamilton’s hopes and Kimi Raikkonen was too busy fighting a Williams to pose a significant threat which had looked likely earlier on in the weekend. Nico Rosberg now has 100 […]
In my view, no matter what the looks of the car are, safety is absolutely paramount. The aesthetics of the proposed Red Bull system, introduced today as a test in Russia’s Frist Practice session, are a lot better than Ferrari’s halo system – which is a terrible design. I’m not convinced they suit the car […]
Quite a lot. Here are the main things: lots of battling through the midfield runners; another points scoring finish for Haas F1; the fifth consecutive race win for Nico Rosberg; a debut points finish for Stoffel Vandoorne. What didn’t happen is probably more significant though. There was no real battle for the lead – Rosberg […]
One radio message sums up this race: “I’ve lost this race, haven’t I?” Those words, spoken by Lewis Hamilton after his team brought his in for fresh tyres towards the end of the race – with 15 laps to go – don’t show the anger and frustration that he did afterwards. This race was undoubtedly […]
Nico Rosberg finally showed some of the spark we saw last year as he took his first victory of the season in Spain. The Mercedes team dominated the race to take a one-two here. The German led away from pole and remained in the lead for the whole race. His team-mate Lewis Hamilton was second, […]
Lewis Hamilton took another step towards his third Championship with victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix, the fourth race of the 2015 season. He didn’t have it all his own way though – there was a credible threat once again from Ferrari after Sebastian Vettel’s shock victory in Malaysia. Mercedes showed a little bit of […]
