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 […]

What happened in the 2017 Australian Grand Prix?

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 […]

Ready, Set, Go

This is a ten minute timed post. Whatever I have on the screen after ten minutes is getting published. My day has consisted of work. I have created an online form for a class survey that has been completed over 30 times in the last hour – the power of Facebook… (remind me again, […]

332: Who became the 2016 Formula One World Champion?

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 […]

304: When is a third place finish not a third place finish?

Firstly, this is a late post from yesterday simply because I didn’t watch the Mexico Grand Prix live, but after band. And then I went to bed. As the race finished, we saw that Max Verstappen had been given a 5 second penalty, enough to drop him from third to fifth. We then had to […]

302: What happened in the 2016 US Grand Prix?

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 […]

292: What happened in the 2016 Japanese Grand Prix?

Nico Rosberg strengthened his position at the top of the Driver’s Championship with another dominant victory at Suzuka, his lead is now 33 points with four races left – he can secure the title without winning another race this season if needed. Mercedes sealed their third consecutive Constructors’ Championship at the race with Lewis Hamilton’s […]

277: What happened in the 2016 Malaysian Grand Prix?

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 […]

249: What happened in the 2016 Italian Grand Prix?

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 […]

245: What happened in the 2016 Belgian Grand Prix?

A mixed up grid promised an exciting race – but then they promised us that Baku would be exciting too and that was a snooze fest. It was great to see the stands so full as well, after a Summer of half-full Olympic venues and a few races with less than capacity crowds. Nico Rosberg […]
