Despite being fifth in the points standings, BOT is on pole and aims to join the battle at the front. An hour before the start of the race, reports are that it’s warmer and less windy than Qualifying – the blustery conditions yesterday contributed to some drivers struggling and a lot of lap times deleted […]
Two weeks after the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, F1 moves to Portimao in Portugal. The Imola race was another exciting one, and it didn’t end with the chequered flag! The provisional result was: VER, HAM, NOR, LEC, SAI, RIC, STR, GAS, RAI, OCO … but then came the post-race penalties: STR was given […]
There’s been two races so far this season: Bahrain: HAM, VER, BOT*, NOR, PER, LEC, RIC, SAI, TSU, STR Imola: VER, HAM*, NOR, LEC, SAI, RIC, GAS, STR, OCO, ALO (*indicates fastest lap) Here are the standings: Driver Points #Wins #f/lap 1 HAM 44 1 1 2 VER 43 1 0 3 NOR 27 […]
An exciting Quali session resulted in a slightly different grid: HAM, PER, VER, LEC, GAS, RIC, NOR, BOT, OCO, STR, SAI, RUS, VET, LAT, ALO, RAI, GIO, SCH, MAZ, TSU* (*TSU did not set a lap time and will need to appeal to the stewards to be allowed to race) The start should be interesting […]
The race is officially called the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix but most people will recognise it as the Imola GP, but not the Italian GP because that’s at the Monza circuit in September. Whenever F1 returns to Imola it’s always a chance to remember Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna who died in 1994, in qualifying […]
In case VET’s season wasn’t off to a poor enough start, he’s been given a 5-place penalty for ignoring yellow flags in qualifying… although he only qualified P18 so it’s effectively only a 2 place drop. The revised grid: VER, HAM, BOT, LEC, GAS, RIC, NOR, SAI, ALO, STR; PER, GIO, TSU, RAI, RUS, OCO, […]
It feels like a long time since the end of the 2020 season, but maybe that’s because I was counting down to Melbourne before it was postponed. Well, it’s go, go, go in Bahrain! Alonso wonders why interviewers keep asking about his age … meanwhile: 10% of the grid in Bahrain have fathers who raced […]
Green lights and ALO is first on track for the 2021 season. I did post a look ahead to the 2021 season and then posted some updates in February, but here’s the driver line-up (the capitals show the abbreviations I use): Team Drivers (number) Mercedes Lewis HAMilton (44) Valtteri BOTtas (77) Red Bull Max VERstappen […]
It’s fifty days until the first race of the 2021 F1 season… fingers crossed! I was hoping to post this last weekend but the Australian Grand Prix has been postponed to November, so now Bahrain is going to be the season opener. So what else has changed since I posted “Looking ahead to F1 in […]
