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 […]
I think I’ve narrowed the “body or lens stops working in the cold” problem to “it’s probably the 24-105 lens” but I’m not entirely sure.

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 […]
Yesterday’s Qualifying was the first real chance to see the relative performance of the new cars. Provisional grid: HAM, BOT, VET, VER, LEC, GRO, MAG, NOR, RAI, PER, HUL, RIC, ALB, GIO, KVY, STR, GAS, SAI, RUS, KUB The only penalties so far have been financial penalties for unsafe releases by Haas in Q1 and […]
The F1 season kicks off in Australia as usual. I posted last month about the team and driver changes; as per previous years, I’ll be using drivers’ abbreviated names (e.g. HAM for Hamilton) just so I can keep up when I’m writing notes. Sadly the season gets off to a sad start as Charlie Whiting, […]
My camera (body or lens, not sure which) is still acting up when I take it out in the cold, so no photowalks for me this month. Winter [My monthly round up posts on this site] [Last month: January] Want more? [Photoblog] [Flickr albums]
Changes since the end of the 2018 season: Sauber is now Alfa Romeo, back for the first time since 1985 Force India became Force India Racing Point during last season, but now they’re just Racing Point Fernando Alonso left F1 for Indy, and recently won the Daytona 24-hour race, although Zak Brown has said he […]
