Daylight Saving Time is over so clocks have gone back one hour and that means the race will start at 7am EST. Despite the format change for this weekend, dropping Friday practice, Qualifying didn’t throw up many surprises. GAS (sporting a tribute to Senna on his helmet) in P4 was a little unexpected but a […]
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 […]

Hamilton equalled Michael Schumacher’s record of F1 victories when he won the Eifel Grand Prix two weeks ago. That puts HAM 69 points ahead of his teammate, who in turn is just 14 points ahead of VER; Mercedes are 180 points clear of Red Bull, with Racing Point third despite their 15 point penalty. News: […]

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: […]
Deleted lap times and VET’s accident in Q2 made for an exciting Qualifying session yesterday. Provisional grid: HAM, VER, BOT, PER, RIC, SAI, OCO, NOR, GAS, ALB*, LEC, KVY, STR, RUS, VET, GRO, GIO, MAG, LAT*, RAI *ALB and LAT each have a 5-grid spot penalty for gearbox changes [FIA] As expected, the drivers have […]
F1 has been fairly quiet since the Tuscan Grand Prix. I updated the points standings: HAM is 55 points clear of BOT, who in turn is 25 points ahead of VER; Mercedes are 152 ahead of Red Bull, and Ferrari are 6th in the Constructors’ table. “Lewis Hamilton says he expects to be told he […]
