Toro Stevo

While waiting for Magnussen at the latest McLaren press conference, Fernando quickly takes a picture of a surprise transgressor before he is whisked away by the powers that be.

The rumours over the last few months indicated that the foxtel deal would go through in 2016, so like you I was shocked and disappointed when I saw it was this year. Should have seen the writing on the wall, given […]

Here are the highlights of the 2011 european grand prix for comparison:

Vettel finished 8th in those three races, each was worth 1 point which is where the confusion may be. At equivalent point after three years (Ricciardo started half way through 2011) Seb had 7 wins, although he was […]

If they were in different teams and Hamilton’s team had complained to the stewards, do you think they would have given a penalty? I can’t remember a consistent ruling in this regard, I’ve seen better examples […]

The power advantage of the Mercedes and the good driving of Perez and Hulkenberg was masking what is actually a not so good car. Other teams are catching up or have passed now, including the other two Mercedes client teams.

Points since and including Canada: Rosberg 98; Hamilton 73; Ricciardo 102
Points since and including Bahrain: Rosberg 177; Hamilton 166; Ricciardo 156

Wouldn’t have picked that happening after Mercedes took […]

Niki and Toto cast an eye over the F1 paddock.

I’d be very surprised if Ricciardo implodes, if anything I expect the gap between the drivers to become uncomfortably close and cause problems for the team.
Ricciardo’s strengths match Seb’s – good qualifying, […]

Ricciardo isn’t the only driver who does better in the second half of the year. Over the last four championships, his teammate’s winning percentage after the summer break is almost double what it is before the […]

More than a little of Force India’s success is engine-dependent, helped by McLaren’s slightly slower speed (relative to Mercedes teams) and Williams poor race performance until recently both helping their cause. […]

Ferrari trialling their new flat nose design for 2015.

There is no comparison between ITV’s coverage and Sky’s coverage today in terms of patriotism. I can only go on the in race commentary, but ITV’s was at times odious in its singular focus on, and support of, the […]

Vettel is getting an early start brushing up on some of Tilke’s new track designs.

I’d love to be able to watch a race at 2pm again, it’s been years since I’ve had the opportunity to living in eastern Australia. As much as I can’t deny it makes sense to run Bahrain at night (if it has to be run […]

No doubt people will link this incident to the Multi 21 a year ago, given the differences in how people are interpreting it (i.e. Vettel the villian for ignoring, Massa the hero for ignoring). Despite the obvious […]

The penalties have all seemed a bit harsh to me so far – seemingly any contact in the last race was resulting in penalties.

Now as this is still breaking, it isn’t exactly clear why the 10 place grid drop is […]

Can’t read the times article, but the quote indicates it must be a satirical article. Unless Ferrari have changed the way they operate without anybody knowing.

It also gives operating pressures and temperature ranges, not knowing any more details myself of the conditions under which it’s used in the engine are these all maintained? I would think so intuitively, but I […]
