What were they hoping to gain by Leclerc not going out?

Someone should know the typical delta between Run 1 and Run 2 of drivers below Leclerc and be able to work out he is in the drop zone.

Dakar racer Giniel de Villers was showing Fernando Alonso the ropes in the 5-litre V-8 Toyota Hilux. In a radio interview he said Fernando started slowly but by the end of the two days was impressively fast. But […]

Couldn’t believe the news. He was such an integral part of the scene. Will be hard to find a replacement who earns the same amount of respect from all concerned.

His team should have advised him, “Max, Ocon coming up behind you on fresher tyres. You are not racing him. Let him through.”

1. Bring back grid girls.

Ja-nee, ou maat. So you got a lekker job, hey? I smaak your articles.

I think Kimi’s a contender this year.

Too often in the past he has tended to give up fighting when the car or the situation isn’t absolutely perfect to his liking. But now he seems to have a new attitude. He […]

The talent is there, but he seems to have lost the drive, the hunger to be top dog.

Having said that, he’s looking leaner and fitter than I can remember. Maybe he’s putting in one last effort this year.

I noticed that the top four drivers all had a double letter in their names.

Unfortunately, No’s 9, 11, 14, 19, and 20 also had double letters in their names.

Bang goes a theory I was formulating.

Azerbaijan time is GMT + 4.
Perhaps you could mention time relative to GMT for all races, Keith, for us folk in different time zones.
