So the F1 season is over and it went out on Sunday with a bit of a whimper it must be said but Yas Marina, despite being an impressive facility has never really produced brilliant races. The race never got going in terms of drama or excitement, there was some overtaking of note down theContinue reading “ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX: VERSTAPPEN GETS HIS REWARD”

Well what a race we had this weekend for the second of the races in Bahrain!! Where to start? My first thought is that although it was such a shame to see Hamilton’s substitute Russel not get the win after he did everything he had to it was also a real delight to see SergioContinue reading “SAKHIR GRAND PRIX: DESPAIR FOR RUSSEL BUT TEARS OF JOY FOR SERGIO”

As I sit here reflecting upon the race weekend in Bahrain my overriding feeling, along with all of us who follow the sport is one of relief that Romain Grosjean managed to escape from what was one of the worst accidents seen in the sport for many many years. There is no doubt that SundayContinue reading “BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX: GROSJEAN AND F1’S LUCKY ESCAPE”

As I sit here writing this the day after Lewis Hamilton claimed victory in Turkey to clinch title number seven I have to think carefully about my words. For there is a lot to take in and process after the weekends events, first of all the new track surface at Istanbul Park and the weatherContinue reading “TURKISH GRAND PRIX: LEWIS CREATES HISTORY IN CRAZY RACE IN ISTANBUL”

Imola is an historic F1 venue and holds many memories, both good and bad for F1 fans and at the weekend it was a pleasure to see modern F1 cars in competitive action around the track once again. Great corner names like Tosa, Aqua Minerali and Rivazza were providing challenges for the best drivers inContinue reading “EMILIA ROMAGNA GRAND PRIX: GREAT TO BE BACK AT IMOLA”

The Portuguese Grand Prix on Sunday will go down in history as the event where Lewis Hamilton set a new benchmark for career race wins by claiming win 92. Schumacher’s record of 91 had stood for 14 years and it is incredible that so soon someone has surpassed that, most of us thought we wouldContinue reading “POTRUGUESE GRAND PRIX: 92 AND COUNTING”

When Michael Schumacher scored his 91st and last Grand Prix victory in China in 2006 I did not think we would ever see anyone else reach such a number again. It seemed like an insurmountable record like would stand for if not eternity then certainly many decades. And yet yesterday, 11th October 2020, just 14Continue reading “EIFEL GRAND PRIX: HAMILTON EQUALS SHUMACHER”

For Valterri Bottas yesterdays Grand Prix in Sochi probably felt like a bit of payback for the times when things haven’t worked out in his favour in previous races. After Hamilton’s problems both in quali on Saturday and before the race it was a fairly simple race for Bottas who collected his second win ofContinue reading “RUSSIA: BOTTAS BENIFITS FROM HAMILTON’S WOES”

For the second race running we have had an eventful Grand Prix with plenty of action and although there was no surprise winner this time like there was at Monza it was still a gripping race. Lewis Hamilton extended his lead over Bottas in the championship but lets face it no one is expecting aContinue reading “TUSCAN GRAND PRIX: CHAOS AT MUGELLO”

Yesterdays Italian Grand Prix at Monza was looking like being another Hamilton display of dominance after Bottas failed to get off the start line cleanly and left Lewis out front on his own. But then Kevin Magussen parked his stricken Haas up just before the pit lane entry and changed the course of the raceContinue reading “REDEMPTION FOR GASLY AFTER MERCEDES MISTAKE!!!”
