History of the Monaco Grand Prix
Few events in all of sport have the prestige and history of the Monaco Grand Prix, the race on the narrow and twisty streets of Monte Carlo has taken place since 1929. This year will see the 71st running of this famous race, so let’s give you a taste of what has gone before in
Why looking long term early makes sense for Mercedes
Despite making a positive start to 2013, Mercedes have this week confirmed more than half of their workforce will be concentrating on the 2014 car by the end of May. Some see this as a surprise move given how competitive the Silver Arrows are this year, but in my opinion allocating a higher proportion of
Too much Hype not enough Caution
Everyone’s talking about the Austin Circuit. All the Journalists are asking Drivers: What are your impressions of the track? And the majority of drivers are responding as F1 politics dictates. It’s a daft question at the moment with the only driver to have turned a wheel on the completed track being Jerome D’Ambrosio. Some of
Monza and Hamilton
The Monza F1 race was everything all us F1 fans hoped it would be, fast racing, great driving. Hamilton got off to an incredible start, but for a change Button got bogged down, and the quick Ferrari of Massa took the second place. In all this excitement in the early stages of the race, everyone
2012, Year of the Driver?
To my mind, as I reflect back over the past 11 races, 2012 has very much been a driver’s year. I look at the standings, and this is what I see: Fernando Alonso – Ferrari – 164 Mark Webber – Red Bull – 124 Sebastian Vettel – Red Bull – 122 Lewis Hamilton – McLaren
Vettel & Alonso disagree over Hamilton
Reading the headline, who would you tend to immediately think is there one siding with McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton? Would it be Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel or Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso? One is the reigning F1 World Champion who has had very few incidents with Hamilton over the years and the other has been his former team-mate
#F1 : RBR – Webber Signing Affects Driver Market
With Mark Webber off the market for 2013, no team seems to be willing to pull the trigger on a deal. The reality is that the teams themselves, are in no rush to sign drivers who have contracts expiring at the end of the 2013 season. Unfortunately, there are two factors involved here. One of
Maldonado vs Hamilton – Over A Pint
I wrote a little piece about the incident between Pastor Maldonado and Lewis Hamilton at the European GP in Valencia and thought I would share it with you here. It stand to reason that each coin really has three sides… In an effort to avoid posting duplicate content, I’m redirecting you the original source of
The Big Question; We’re all asking it!
Well I’ve asked it anyway. If you haven’t, you really should be! Lewis Hamilton is one of many drivers who aren’t completely sure as to where they will be racing next season. However, unlike with some of them, I think we can be sure that Lewis will have a seat, it’s just a matter of
Further thoughts on the Spanish Grand Prix… (Part 1)
At the Spanish Grand Prix, the F1 pecking order was completely muddled up once again, with Pastor Maldonado taking the chequered flag in his Williams, giving us our fifth different winning driver and constructor in the first five races. The transformation of Pastor Maldonado How much has he matured since last season? At times,
F1: SHOCKER – Hamilton To Start DEAD LAST
As I mentioned previously in one of my articles about Saturday’s qualifying session for the Spanish Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton stormed to Pole position but pulled off the circuit almost immediately. It wasn’t certain whether the former champion ha a technical or mechanical issue but it was suspected that he may have run low or
Potential Shocks this Weekend
So Sebastian Vettel was fastest in FP3 and Hamilton did have his flying lap ruined when he came across Raikkonen and one of the HRT cars, but this weekend seems to have the real potential for a shock result. Pastor Maldonado (Williams), Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber) and Sergio Perez (also Sauber) were all in the top
Mugello… The Fans Verdict
2012 has seen the return of an official in season test which was held in Mugello, Italy after the Bahrain Grand Prix in an attempt to fill the three week void. Fans were excited to see the return of the test as they believed it would be as interesting as the pre-season tests and
