The previous race, the Portuguese GP, saw HAM break Michael Schumacher’s record of F1 wins. This weekend the F1 circus is back in Italy – this time it’s the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola, which in the past has also hosted the San Marino GP most notably in 1994 […]

Quick clarification to my note yesterday about the name of this race: Hockenheim couldn’t be added to this year’s revised calendar because the COVID restrictions in the Baden-Württemberg region prevent fans attending, whereas the Nurburgring (in Rhineland-Palatinate) is allowed to have a limited number of people (20,000) in the stands. Despite the weather meaning FP1 […]
The first thing to tackle is the name of this race: like 4 others on this year’s calendar (Styrian GP, Tuscan GP, Emilia Romagna GP, and Sakhir GP), it’s named for the region – the Eifel mountains stretch across Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. The 2019 German GP was held at Hockenheim but it wasn’t on […]
I failed to continue the “rainbow challenge” that I started last month – I’ll try to pick it up again in October. I only took one shot this month – Rebel was one of our foster cats, who has already gone to his forever home. [My monthly round up posts on this site] [Last month: […]
