That picture of Senna and Mansell at Jerez reminds me of Clive James’ narration of the Season Review. “Senna was so moved by his victory that he spoke”.

What’s wrong with that?

For me, the frustration of seeing what should be a good battle for position ruined by the faster car getting a ‘free pass’ far outweighs the enjoyment of a great DRS assisted overtake, few of which spring to min […]

Gammons?

Wow, I hadn’t realised Vettel had forgone the German flag stripes in favour of three shades of BWT pink. Sell-out Seb.

On some corners it’s allowed, some corners not. They are allowed to run off-track all race long when running alone but if overtaking they have to give the position back, what a mess! Track limits is a self i […]

Absolutely! Motorsport will always be accompanied by the sound of Murray’s voice in my mind. It was terribly sad to hear the news that he had passed away yesterday but on reflection, what a life well lived.

Ooh no, that green on black gives me GBH of the retina.

No offence intended. We all take enjoyment from driving in different ways but I’m sure for many the lack of aural stimulation and the hideous weight of electric cars just won’t do.

Motorsport has always inspired consumer’s buying choices.
I really don’t think F1 ever has. Which brand of cigarettes to smoke, yes but whether to buy a Ford Focus or a VW Golf, no.

When has F1 ever been relevant? Manufacturers rarely stay around for long once the penny drops that what they do in F1 on the technical side has no impact on the sales of family hatchbacks.

I think much of […]

I can’t see how motorsport would be relevant to the mass market in a mostly electric future. People buying such cars would have no regard for the relevance between motorsport and the four-wheeled domestic a […]

Well, for starters there’s no video of that alleged incident.

I remember when Haas first entered F1 a lot of fuss was made of them being an American team and how exciting the commercial opportunities were. Since then they have had no American drivers race for them, no […]

I couldn’t disagree more, the only grade 1 circuits I’d rate more highly are Suzuka, Spa and Mugello.

Hats off to the ACO and IMSA. I struggle to make sense of how they can make the Hypercar and LMDh classes converge with a target lap time slower than the current front-running LMP2 teams achieve but they are […]

Oooh very good.

Wow, he’s not going to be mistaken for Antonio Giovanazzi any time soon.

I was under the impression that since the end of the transition period, temporary exports such as racing team’s cars and equipment (excluding ham sandwiches, of course) would require their own ‘passport’ if you l […]

Ferrari already have lots of advantages which they never seem able to make use of.
