The 2017 F1 Season: Final Championship Points

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 […]

94: What happened in the 2016 Bahrain Grand Prix?

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 […]

80: What happened in the Australian Grand Prix?

The first race of the 2016 Formula One season happened this morning. A few things of note came out of it. A win for Nico Rosberg to open the season. A huge accident, thankfully with no injuries. Points for the debuting Haas F1 team. Nico Rosberg took advantage of a misjudgement by Ferrari during the […]

Day 159: Playing The Waiting Game

I had this post written in my head all day. I knew exactly what I was going to write. And then, the thing I was going to blog about didn’t – hasn’t – happened yet. Still, that solves tomorrow’s problem. Still, a productive day. Just not doing what I wanted or needed. I really shouldn’t […]

Canadian Grand Prix 2013: Qualifying

Just like Monaco, the threat of rain is in the air here. It has been around most of the event so far and it has been dry up to this point. Practice 3 earlier was wet and drying – but it was also cut short due to a heavy crash at turn 11 in a […]

Monaco Grand Prix 2013: Qualifying

The threat of rain is in the air here – the first time in a long time that qualifying at Monaco may be wet. Three drivers face a tough battle after crashes in free practice 3 earlier. Romain Grosjean got the chaos started when he tagged the barrier at the chicane and needed to come in […]

Spanish Grand Prix 2013: Qualifying

This is going to be a strange post to write. I’ll end up watching sessions 1 and 2 live, but a Grange Moor Band job will mean that I have to miss Q1 live and watch that on replay afterwards. After 4 rounds, it’s probably time to look at the qualifying battle so far in […]

Chinese Grand Prix 2013: Race

Here we go then. Mark Webber now starts from the pit lane after first being relegated to the back for fuel problems yesterday. Further changes overnight to his gearbox mean starting from the pit lane. The main thing to watch for in this race is tyres: some drivers are on the harder medium compound to […]

Malaysian Grand Prix 2013: Qualifying

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 […]

Day 53: Kit & The F1 Test In Barcelona

Kit appears to be a little more settled today – what a difference 24 hours makes. She is still incredibly placid and timid, but is beginning to show her true colours especially when playing with a catnip laced monkey that we bought for her today! The smaller photo was just something I had to do. […]
