In stark contrast to yesterday’s Qualifying (and cancelled FP3) session, it’s dry and sunny at the Red Bull Ring, Spielberg, Austria. Quali result: HAM, VER, SAI, BOT, OCO, NOR, ALB, GAS, RIC, VET, LEC, RUS, STR, KVY, MAG, RAI, PER, LAT, GIO, GRO However, NOR was given a three-place grid penalty for overtaking GAS’s AlphaTauri […]
It’s interesting that the FIA call this weekend the Formula 1 Pirelli Grosser Preis Der Steiermark but most people are referring to it as the Styrian GP. (Note the different spelling.) Either way, we’re back at the Red Bull Ring which last weekend say BOT, LEC and NOR on the podium. News: “Alex Zanardi has […]
After yesterday’s Qualifying session I added a link to the FIA’s article which said “Hamilton summoned to stewards for alleged failure to slow after Bottas off” and then “Lewis Hamilton has been cleared by the stewards of failing to slow down…” However today there’s another update: “Red Bull protest stewards’ decision not to penalise Hamilton […]
Unusually I posted about the Practice sessions (FP1 & FP2) yesterday, and I forgot to mention the source of the thumbnail image – it’s from the official Australian Grand Prix twitter feed, who posted it on Thursday. There’s one update from yesterday: “Mercedes DAS system ruled legal as Red Bull protest rejected” [FIA] “…it was […]
F1 is back, FINALLY! I don’t usually write a post just for Practice but I need the practice too 🙂 OK, before we start, here are a couple of (hopefully) useful links: F1 line-up, 2020 … because there’s been lots of chat about driver changes, but obviously those don’t kick in until next season New […]
The FIA has announced the new 2020 Calendar; it sounds like they may add to it as regions update their Covid responses, so I’ll keep this up to date. They say there’s “an expectation of having a total of 15-18 races before completing the season in December”, however “F1 currently expect the opening races to […]
With COVID-19 hitting China hard, it was inevitable that the Grand Prix of China would be impacted. Even before I posted the 2020 Calendar the FIA announced this race was postponed; a new date has not yet been announced. Unfortunately the organisers left it to the very last minute before announcing the Grand Prix of […]
Changes since the end of the 2019 season: Toro Rosso are now called AlphaTauri (there’s no space in their name) Renault replaced Nico Hulkenberg with Esteban Ocon Williams replaced Robert Kubica with Nicholas Latifi Lawrence Stroll and the consortium behind Racing Point have bought into Aston Martin and will rename the F1 team as the […]
The new season kicks off in Australia, as usual, in just under a month. Woot! It’s a 22-race calendar (one less than 2019), running right through to the end of November … which is actually a few days earlier than last year. Race Day Grand Prix Quali Standings Mar15 Australia* – – Mar22 Bahrain* – […]
There don’t seem to be any post-Qualifying penalties, so there’s just the (huge) one for BOT’s multiple engine changes to be applied which drops him from P2 to P20 Grid: HAM, VER, LEC, VET, ALB, NOR, RIC, SAI, HUL, PER, GAS, STR, KVY, MAG, GRO, GIO, RAI, RUS, KUB, BOT I mentioned in my Quali […]
