Apart from making the car a bit lighter momentarily the bump was insignificant. The real issue was the aggressive way in which the car was being driven whilst still on cool tyres. The lack of grip caused the […]

Just read this in BBC: “It’s all crazy,” Lauda said. “To stop the race for one hour because one of the barriers is damaged is ridiculous.” But if it hadn’t been fixed and one of his drivers had inadvertently been […]

hear hear, respect to Felipe for fast reactions. The on board shot shows just how close he was when the Ferrari appeared in his view. I doubt anyone other than an F1 driver could have reacted so quickly. A tenth […]

Good win for Lewis. Fantastic job by Bottas in the Williams. Not a podium given on a plate, but fought for and won. Good drive by Ricciardo and Button made the top slots all well deserved. Shame about Rosburg but […]

Raikkonen trying far too hard to push through the backmarkers too early before he had heat in his tyres. A silly immature mistake from a driver who should be more composed. Inevitably his petulance caused the […]

It was unimportant, although amusing, the radio battle between the two, what was exciting was the wheel to wheel racing. AT LAST real racing. Something that F1 has been missing for quite some time. Unfortunately […]

F1 has turned form a sport to a commercial enterprise, with the emphasis now centred on profit for the partners, oh, actually mainly Mr Ecclestone. The benfits appear to shared out 505 to his “company” and the […]

Jenson was competing in the Challenge Fuerteventura Triathlon, he was here for a week and was a great ambassador for Britain and F1. What an genuinely nice person he is. He started the race well, 44 out of alomost […]

BTCC Donington, now thats racing.

Well, after an intetresting start, mainly due to technical issues with the new format, this race really disappointed. A whole lap between winner and 10th position, with very little in the way of racing and on […]

Good decision by the ruling body, RBR as a team need to step down a little and remember their short history. As for the penalty at the time… well in all races there are 2 elements: The team in the garage […]

Ok, itching powder and drawing pins hidden in ‘Nando’s seat, now quietly move back to my own car…… la la la…hum hum….

Note: seeing a high percentage voting for HAM, well, we all know his ability, he had a front row start and the best car. Any 1 of the top ten drivers on that grid could probably have done the same. My vote for RIC […]

Had to be The Aussie, he had a lot of work to do to get to his final position and passed a lot of more experienced drivers to do it. Taking a massive grid drop and coming in so close to the podium is stuff that we […]

The man is total liability and should be removed from F1. His style of driving and attitude on track are skills more suitably placed for stock car racing. He would do well at Belle Vue cinder track. Maybe when […]

Watching 70 cars travelling at 200mph around an oval track of 1/2 mile 500 times… well that would be boring. NASCAR.. no right turns, no DRS, nose-to-tail, foot to floor, occasional fireball.. No finesse.

Gave it a 7, mainly because it is the first circuit race, more representive of F1, showing that there is a slightly differant level of technology, skill and attitude this year. Mercedes came through perfectly, RBR […]
