In case VET’s season wasn’t off to a poor enough start, he’s been given a 5-place penalty for ignoring yellow flags in qualifying… although he only qualified P18 so it’s effectively only a 2 place drop. The revised grid: VER, HAM, BOT, LEC, GAS, RIC, NOR, SAI, ALO, STR; PER, GIO, TSU, RAI, RUS, OCO, […]
It feels like a long time since the end of the 2020 season, but maybe that’s because I was counting down to Melbourne before it was postponed. Well, it’s go, go, go in Bahrain! Alonso wonders why interviewers keep asking about his age … meanwhile: 10% of the grid in Bahrain have fathers who raced […]
Green lights and ALO is first on track for the 2021 season. I did post a look ahead to the 2021 season and then posted some updates in February, but here’s the driver line-up (the capitals show the abbreviations I use): Team Drivers (number) Mercedes Lewis HAMilton (44) Valtteri BOTtas (77) Red Bull Max VERstappen […]
There was a lot of news since the Bahrain GP which I noted in my Qualifying post, so here’s the summary: HAM out with COVID; RUS takes the Mercedes seat; Jack Aitken (AIT) fills in at Williams; Pietro Fittipaldi (FIT) to stand in for the injured GRO. Provisional grid: BOT, RUS, VER, LEC, PER, KVY, […]
It’s called the Sakhir Grand Prix but the teams haven’t moved since last weekend’s Bahrain GP – it’s just a different track configuration at the same venue. Bahrain uses the infield, and VER set the fastest lap at 1:32.014; Sakhir is the “outer circuit” and it’s expected to be under 55 seconds per lap! Both […]
There weren’t any surprises in Qualifying, with Mercedes taking both front row spots for the 11th time. Provisional grid: HAM, BOT, VER, ALB, PER, RIC, OCO, GAS, NOR, KVY, VET, LEC, STR, RUS, SAI, GIO, RAI, MAG, GRO, LAT Floodlights are on again; sun’s setting; green lights are on so cars can leave the pits. […]
The Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships have been won, but there’s still plenty to fight for. There are just 4 points between PER (P4), LEC (P5) and RIC (P6); just 1 point between McLaren teammates SAI and NOR; and 24 points span Racing Point (P3), McLaren, Renault and Ferrari (P6). There’s also the question of Williams […]
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 […]
