In order to keep this little article halfway sensible in length and appearance, you’re about to be linked to within an inch of your lives. Be ready. The links are for comparative purposes, so if all you’re interested in is pictures of new cars, you’re quite safe to ignore them all. Speaking of pictures, a [...]
If it seems like only yesterday that Giancarlo Fisichella was being reported as favourite for the vacant Sauber drive, that’s because it really, genuinely was.
Sometimes these things make too much sense. Fisi spent much of 2009 showing well for Force India, before forging late-season links with Ferrari that saw him given a testing and development [...]
It’s the done thing at this time of year, isn’t it?
The teams we all expected to challenge were nowhere. The teams we’d written off in pre-season were somewhere, and a team that barely made it to the first race won the whole show. The world champion divided opinion, with his supporters matched in size and volume [...]
An awful lot of things happened these past few days, and I was ill so didn’t get to blog about any of them. The topics that merit further attention will receive it in due course, so let’s recap quickly:
Mercedes have bought a controlling stake in Brawn GP. The team will race in 2010 as Mercedes [...]
This week, “Domination: the act of being in control.”
With refuelling banned for 2010, this is the last time we get to do this for at least a year. A reminder, one final reminder, that qualifying is made up of 3 knockout sessions, with the fastest 10 drivers competing in Q3 with race fuel aboard while [...]
Listen up, soldiers! A few things to fill you in on.
One of next year’s nailed-on driver moves has been confirmed, Robert Kubica committing to Renault for 2010 and quite possibly no longer than that, being one of the men keeping a keen eye on Felipe Massa’s performance on the off chance that the Brazilian’s comeback [...]
Formula One’s worst-kept secret is out, Ferrari confirming Fernando Alonso on a three year deal starting in 2010.
It has since emerged that a deal starting in 2011 was concluded in the summer but has since been brought forward, the recent race fixing scandal and Kimi Raikkonen’s acceptance that he is no longer wanted at Maranello [...]
A couple of quick ones for you, appearing here because to have put them in the main write-up would have given the altogether false impression that what took place today was an interesting motor race:
- Martin Brundle called him ‘Teflonso’ on the grid. How many of you are sat kicking yourselves right now for not [...]
Del Amitri had the right idea. If every third car was a cab, there might be a bit of overtaking, though the pit stops for fuel, tyres and a newspaper might not be that compelling.
Then again, if it’s a choice between that and the Singapore Grand Prix, it might be worth taking the Daily Star [...]
This week, delayed because it is apparently written in law that the writer of this piece must attend at least one wedding each race weekend, “If you want to get ahead, get a Hamilton.”
Qualifying starts with 20 drivers and, via a process of lap time based elimination, ends with 10 setting the top grid times [...]
