But the biggest Quali surprise was hearing RIC was disqualified because his Renault’s MGU-K exceeded the power limit [FIA] Grid: LEC, HAM, VET, VER, BOT, ALB, SAI, HUL, NOR, GIO, GAS, RAI, MAG, […]
Singapore is a unique race – it’s the only one run under floodlights. The drivers tend to use clear visors rather than the tinted ones preferred for daytime races, which provides an opportunity to watch the concentration required to compete at this twisty circuit. [video] Some good news following the horrible crash in the Forumula […]
Well, Qualifying was errrr… interesting! Video of the slow-race to start the final flying lap – only SAI made it in time and everyone else failed. Toto Wolff said “everyone looks like idiots”; the stewards said they’d investigate that final lap, because they’d previously warned the drivers not to take too long on their out […]
A week after the Belgian GP, people are still thinking about Anthoine Hubert, who died in the Formula 2 race, but also Juan Manuel Correa who was seriously injured in the same incident and has been placed in a medically-induced coma.

VER became the 100th different pole-sitter in F1 history. The post-Qualifying penalties bump his ex-teammate (RIC) to the very back of the grid after some engine changes; GIO received a three-place grid penalty for impeding STR in Q1. Revised grid: VER, BOT, HAM, LEC, VET, GAS, NOR, SAI, GRO, RAI, HUL, ALB, KVY, MAG, RUS, […]
Thanks to a post-race penalty for the Alfa Romeo pair (RAI, GIO), HAM was moved up to P9 and KUB to P10 to make the points-paying results from Germany: VER, VET, KVY, STR, SAI, ALB, GRO, MAG, HAM, KUB with only 3 more cars making it to the end of the race (RAI, GIO, RUS). […]
