The third part of the triple-header is in Monza following the Grands Prix of Belgium and Holland. There have been some expected driver announcements but also RAI announced his retirement. In short, BOT moves to Alfa Romeo; RUS to Mercedes; AlphaTauri re-signed GAS and TSU; Alex Albon joins Williams, alongside LAT. This weekend will follow […]
Yesterday’s qualifying saw two red flags, when both Williams cars hit the tyre wall in two separate Q2 incidents. Grid: VER, HAM, BOT, GAS, LEC, SAI, GIO, OCO, ALO, RIC, RUS, STR, NOR, TSU, VET, KUB, SCH, MAZ, LAT*, PER* *LAT had a gearbox change so he starts from the pit lane; PER has a […]
As much as people often want a wet race, because it makes things less predictable, I don’t think anyone wants one as wet as the GP of Belgium last week! In case you missed it, there was a post-race penalty for STR – he finished P18 so adding 10 seconds means he’s classified P20 but […]
As expected, Milo was adopted very quickly so I took a few shots before he went to his permanent home. Making himself heard 🙂 [My monthly round up posts on this site] [Last month: July] Want more? [Photoblog] [Flickr albums]
Yesterday’s wet and eventful Qualifying session saw NOR crash in Eau Rouge. He’s had an X-ray on his elbow and been given the OK to race; however, his car needed a new gearbox so he’s been given a 5-place grid penalty. [FIA] Provisional grid: VER, RUS, HAM, RIC, VET, GAS, PER, BOT*, OCO, NOR**, LEC, […]
The second half of the 2021 season kicks off in Spa Francorchamps, the first part of a triple-header with the GP of the Netherlands and then a second visit to Italy (this time it’s Monza). I posted last weekend with links to the situation at the mid-point: the current points standings, the as-yet-unchanged teams and […]
We’re only a few days away from resuming the 2021 season – it feels like a long time since the last race, so here’s a recap: I’ve created a new post with the updated season’s calendar, including the recent news that Japan GP has been cancelled Current points standings Teams and driver line-up hasn’t changed […]
The first half of the season went mostly as planned, but recent news (e.g. Japan cancelled) have led to changes before the second half of the season gets underway. Update: On Aug28, the FIA published an update to this season’s calendar: the next 3 races (Netherlands, Italy, Russia) are unchanged; Turkey moves from Oct03 to […]
I skipped a June update because I hadn’t taken anything since May, and even now all I’ve taken are a few snaps of our foster cat, Milo. The good news is he’s up for adoption on the Team Cat website. Milo doesn’t enjoy the cone of shame… or maybe he’s not impressed by the dog […]
It’s almost mid-season, and the teams are starting their enforced summer break. There’s been two races since the previous points update: Great Britain: HAM, LEC, BOT, NOR, RIC, SAI, ALO, STR, OCO, TSU (PER* P16) For the sprint: VER +3 points, HAM +2, BOT +1. Hungary: OCO, (VET DISQ) HAM, SAI, ALO, GAS*, TSU, LAT, […]
