Now then, in less than three years time, London will begin its hosting of the 2012 Olympic Games. It might be a little bit rubbish compared to the well prepared and astonishingly brilliant Chinese games of last year, but let’s face it; it’s the only chance in my lifetime that such an important worldwide event […]
This year’s Monaco Formula One Grand Prix will mark 70 years since the first race was held in the principality. For all the changes that have occurred over the decades, however, there will still be lunatics driving cars much faster than you can ever hope for. Here are two clips of old races in Monte […]
Now, as you may or may not know, I adore Formula One. I visited the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 2004 and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Silverstone has hosted the race regularly since the start of the F1 championship in 1950 and every year since 1987; it alternated with Brands Hatch between 1964 and 1986, […]
Yesterday, I went to Morecambe… we hit the rain about an hour and a half into the journey and it stayed with us all day. Beautiful. Anyway, here are the photos from my trip.
In a recent edition of Autosport I happened upon an advert for The Guardian‘s Formula One Preview supplement thingy… and it’s amazingly beautiful. A simple idea, create Britain‘s biggest and brightest hope for the title out of all 18 circuits currently used in the World Championship, but it’s how it’s done that really makes it […]
I started writing this way back in December… but totally forgot about it. And with there being just over 22 days until the 2008 Australian Grand Prix, I thought it’d be a good way to generate a small slice of excitement! Here, then, are some wonderful photos from the 2007 Formula One season. Not every race […]
Just when you thought it was over, it looks like there’s another twist in the 2007 season. It may come to nothing, it may change the title holder – but it certainly is confusing to the casual viewer who doesn’t follow the sport all the time and may have just watched one race this year, […]
This is really very good indeed. (Will open a new window…) He’s summed up ITV‘s Formula One coverage perfectly. There’s 22 drivers on the grid in F1 this year, not that you’d know it if you listened to James Allen. That man… that clearly unbiased man. (You know, the one who called his son Enzo […]

Hello and welcome to my newest blog. I have been a passionate follower of Formula One for many years now, 13 at the time of writing – the tragic 1994 season was my first real exploration of the sport. That year’s show down between Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill at Adelaide, along with Ayrton Senna‘s […]
