The 2021 Drivers’ Championship will be decided over the next 58 laps (or maybe fewer). There’s one case where HAM finishes P9 but VER is P10 and gets fastest lap, but other than that whoever finishes ahead will win the crown; if neither finishes in the points, VER is champ. With VER starting ahead of […]
Well, this is it! Last race of the season; HAM and VER on equal points but VER has won one race more, so either whoever finishes ahead in the points will win the Drivers’ Championship or if neither score points tomorrow then VER will get the crown. It’s RAI’s last race weekend before he retires […]
It’s the penultimate race of the season; VER and HAM fighting all the way; it’s going to be an exciting race. I’m concerned about the safety of this track though. LEC had a big crash at the end of FP2; VER hit the wall in Qualifying; and today “Formula 2 drivers Theo Pourchaire and Enzo […]
There are just two races left this season; VER is just 8 points ahead of HAM in the Drivers’ Championship, and Mercedes is only 5 points ahead of Red Bull. VER could win it this weekend, but I suspect it’ll be decided in Abu Dhabi next weekend. Obviously the big news since Qatar was the […]
The war of words (aka handbags at dawn) between Toto Wolff and Christian Horner continues – I’ve stopped listening because I’d rather just see the action on track. Qualifying was cut short by GAS’s puncture bringing out yellow flags as most of the top 10 started their final run Provisional grid: HAM, VER, BOT, GAS, […]
The third race of the triple-header is (controversially) in Qatar – a brand new circuit for F1 but it has hosted many bike races. Mexico and Brazil were exciting, especially HAM’s fightback last weekend, but the Qatar circuit looks less likely to be a “classic” … unless the stewards start handing out penalties (or ignoring […]
Some people don’t like the sprint format but I think each time there’s been one (Silverstone, Monza, and now Brazil) it’s always been an eventful weekend… and there’s been no end of excitement so far this weekend. Here’s a quick summary of my notes: Mercedes replaced HAM’s engine, so he has a 5-place penalty for […]
The Grand Prix of Mexico was only a few days ago, and freight shipping problems have meant a hectic couple of days for many of the mechanics; the stewards have given special dispensation for the teams to work late on preparing the cars. A quick reminder on the World Championship standings: VER is 19 points […]
There’s been two races since the previous points update: USA: VER, HAM*, PER, LEC, RIC, BOT, SAI, NOR, TSU, VET (*indicates fastest lap) Mexico: VER, HAM, PER, GAS, LEC, SAI, VET, RAI, ALO, NOR *BOT set the fastest lap but he won’t get the point as he finished outside the top 10 There are 4 […]
A dusty track, a red flag, lots of engine penalties, and some drivers giving their teammate a tow – an eventful qualifying session. Post-Quali order: BOT, HAM, VER, PER, GAS, SAI, RIC, LEC, TSU*, NOR*, VET, RAI, RUS*, GIO, OCO*, ALO, LAT, SCH, MAZ, STR* – *penalties to be applied. For the Quali incidents which […]
