Picasso 1.9D FTW

@jerejj no I agree, not the worst ever. Valencia probably also had about the same amount of visual appeal, although it did at least once have a flying Red Bull to add some interest. And there was that Las Vegas […]

After such an intense triple-header it’s a real bummer to have to wait 4 weeks till the next race.
No offence, Sochi

“It’s a shame they ended up in the gravel because it could have shaped up to be a great race – and we were deprived of that.”
I’m sure it’s not what Brawn meant but I thought it was a great race regardl […]

@bosyber yep, a 40ish minute sprint (disregarding DNFs) on a tight track must be light-years from the WEC world, or even the various single-seaters he raced before. I reckon the battery management must be […]

(confession time: I’d forgotten his Techeetah years, though he did ok then. But after a great start when he switched to Porsche and a decent season overall, this year at least he seems… less than great)

So Lotterer gets another season in Formula E. Hmm. It was exciting to see him at the start: a proven and versatile driver, with Porsche in his blood, who seemed initially to be adapting to the new series. But he’s […]

Gasly is right to give Ocon due credit, and also in his pithy description of Bottas’ error. But as Jolyon Palmer pointed out, Gasly himself made basically the same error and lucked out in not crashing into Perez […]

Loved that video from Grosjean, I’m just so thrilled at how he’s taken to Indy and that race was such a demonstration of his fighting spirit and his quality as a driver. We all know about his weaknesses but right […]

Nice problem for Alpine, they really do have some great choices there. But never mind their own seats, I don’t really see that much in the way of other race seats opening up imminently. The most obviously […]

Will we see a new sponsor on the car for the next race?

Here you go, I found it: “Silvestro”

Belated thanks @keithcollantine and @hazelsouthwell for the return of the C4 TV times. Very welcome indeed!

Thanks Ben. I always thought Race Fans supported free-to-air coverage but this decision to ignore C4 times flies in the face of that belief, as well as being properly inconvenient. I suppose that’s one less page t […]

The said it wouldn’t be a picnic. He proved them wrong #FA14

@f1frog @stefmeister I would totally object to random grids for the main race, but this is a qualifying race. Though to qualify that (sorry), I did also say I’d like to see some points assigned and I can […]

Well I’m evidently in a minority but I’m up for the sprint races, none of the objections resonate strongly with me, however valid they may be. Or rather, whilst I agree that the main race mustn’t be devalued I’m […]

Good lad

Pretty close to what I put, though I’ve not been able to watch much of the F2 to really gauge the talent. I noticed Lukas Dunner on the list but not Yifei Ye, who spanked everyone including Dunner in this y […]

Well he’s given us some entertainment: he more than showed his potential whilst at Mclaren and demonstrated his speed on more than one occasion at Haas too. Sometimes the feistiness paid off, sometimes it was just […]

agreed @bascb, he’s had some great moments in a long career. It’s time for him to move on, but I’ve always had some affection for him – as a flawed driver and as a very human being. Bloody annoying sometimes, […]
