I haven’t seen any penalties following the queues in Q1 costing ZHO his quick lap, but the FIA seem more focused on telling the drivers not to wear jewellery even when the drivers are raising safety concerns about the concrete wall in Turn 14. Following Quali the provisional grid: LEC, SAI, VER, PER, BOT, HAM, […]
After the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix LEC is 27 points ahead of VER, with PER a further 5 points back; Ferrari are just 11 points ahead of Red Bull, with Mercedes another 36 points behind. Miami is new on the calendar this year, and it looks like there will be a third USA GP next year. […]

So here’s the grid: LEC, VER, PER, NOR, HAM, RUS, RIC, OCO, SAI, ALO, GAS, BOT, TSU, ZHO, SCH, […]
Round 3 of the 2022 season is in Melbourne, Australia, which means it’s the middle of the night for me. Unfortunately TSN doesn’t care about F1 so I’m struggling to watch the recording between pixelation, audio interruptions, and the usually poorly-timed adverts. News since the Saudi Arabia GP: ALB was given a three-place grid penalty […]
It’s been an eventful weekend so far: drivers saying F1 shouldn’t race in Saudi Arabia because of human rights violations; a missile strike on a nearby oil refinery; unanimous agreement among the drivers not to race; unanimous agreement among the drivers to go ahead with the race; SCH taken to hospital after a nasty crash […]
If the Saudi Arabian GP wasn’t controversial enough, with HAM trying to highlight the human rights issues (BBC reports “Human rights group Reprieve has said that Saudi Arabia executed 81 men on 12 March, a further 16 since then and 108 in total so far this year”), between Free Practice 1 and FP2 there was […]
