I created an album in December called “My favourite shots of 2016“, but there are 33 photos in it; I decided I need to pick just 10 and write a little about them: I went with a couple of friends to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport) for the Victoria Day SpeedFest Weekend. It was […]

The Formula One “silly season”, when drivers are renewing or seeking new contracts, was almost over then yesterday Nico Rosberg announced his retirement from F1 – going out on a high, having just won the Drivers’ World Championship. Team 2017 Driver Status Mercedes Lewis Hamilton confirmed Nico Rosberg Pascal Wehrlein? vacant seat Red Bull Daniel […]
Previous points update was after the Brazil GP; since then the 2016 season ended with the race in Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi: HAM, ROS, VET, VES, RIC, RAI, HUL, PER, MAS, ALO Updated standings: Drivers points 1 ROS 385 (9 wins) = Champion 2 HAM 380 (10 wins) 3 RIC 256 (1 win) 4 […]
Hamilton is on pole, with Rosberg P2. Overtaking chances are limited, so if ROS finishes just behind HAM he’ll be World Champion. But how will it play out in Abu Dhabi? HAM was quicker than ROS in each Qualifying session. Provisional grid: HAM, ROS, RIC, RAI, VET, VES, HUL, PER, ALO, MAS, BOT, BUT, GUT, […]
It all comes down to the final race of the 2016 season. Mercedes are Constructors’ Champions again, but which of their drivers will win the other title? Rosberg is just 12 points ahead of Hamilton after the GP of Brazil, so it’s still up in the air. HAM was fastest in Free Practice 1 and […]
Previous points update was after the Japan GP; since then we’ve had races in USA, Mexico and Brazil: America: HAM, ROS, RIC, VET, ALO, SAI, MAS, PER, BUT, GRO Mexico: HAM, ROS, RIC, VES, VET, RAI, HUL, BOT, MAS, PER Brazil: HAM, ROS, VES, PER, VET, SAI, HUL, RIC, NAS, ALO Updated standings: Drivers […]
It’s another opportunity for Rosberg to win the Drivers’ Championship, but it’s not his last chance. If he does win the title, it’ll mirror Damon Hill’s win in 1996 – both would be 34 years after their respective fathers’ championship wins. ROS would also break the record for the most races before taking the crown […]
In case you missed the update after the chequered flag in Mexico, here’s a quick recap: Verstappen crossed the finish line third, behind Hamilton and Rosberg. VES went to the pre-podium room but Ferrari had complained to the stewards about VES cutting a Turn 2; VES was given a five second penalty, so he dropped […]
