Yesterday was the annual badminton competition so I’m catching up on the race weekend a little late. Following Qualifying, the provisional grid was: BOT, HAM, VET, VER, LEC, GAS, GRO, MAG, KVY, RIC*, NOR, ALB, SAI, RAI, PER, HUL, STR, GIO, RUS*, KUB *RIC has 3-place penalty; *RUS has 5-place penalty However, since then there […]

Even after an eventful Qualifying session, there’s still more happening before the cars get to the grid: Gasly disqualified from Baku qualifying after fuel flow infringement [F1] However, he was already going to start from the pit lane as the penalty for missing the weighbridge in FP3 Raikkonen disqualified from qualifying results in Baku after […]
HAM’s win in China puts him 6 points ahead of teammate BOT in the standings, and Mercedes a healthy 57 points ahead of Ferrari. The good news is that VET has shaved off his moustache 🙂 Not such good news for GIO – his Alfa Romeo has a third electronics change in four races, which […]

RACE 1000 A very close Qualifying session ended with another all-Mercedes front row, a bit unexpected for the 10,00th race. Fun watching Johnny Herbert ask F1 drivers for their favourite races; so many great moments, especially the footage of the very first race which was held at Silverstone and that’s why (Bernie and I think) […]
It’s the 1,000th round of the world championship – it’s quite muddy how the FAI determined this because between 1950 and 1960 the Indianapolis 500 was included in the world championship even though there was barely any participation by F1 teams or drivers, and in 1952 and 1953 the sport was run to Formula 2 […]
Ferrari fill the front row of the grid, with LEC just ahead of VET after a strong Qualifying session by the youngster. Quali ended with the provisional grid: LEC, VET, HAM, BOT, VER, MAG, SAI, GRO*, RAI, NOR*, RIC, ALB, GAS, PER, KVY, GIO, HUL, STR, RUS, KUB; *Q1 incident involving GRO and NOR under […]
Mercedes came away from Australia with all the points – BOT heads the Drivers’ Championship by the biggest margin ever, thanks to the new-for-2019 extra point for fastest lap, and with HAM finishing P2 that gives the silver arrows a 22-point lead over Ferrari going in to round 2 of the season. However, it’s not […]
