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 […]
It’s the last race weekend of the season; there’s not much left to fight over, but will Vettel and Leclerc still be battling amongst themselves? Ferrari say the intra-team squabbling is over, but LEC says VET “should not have made move” which put them both out of the GP of Brazil. It’s also the last […]
Brazil is the penultimate race of the 2019 season; the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship titles are decided but there’s plenty to fight for in the midfield and further down. Despite qualifying P4 (and then dropping 10 places because of engine changes), LEC has sewn up the challenge for most pole positions – he’s had 7 […]
HAM sealed the Drivers’ Championship at the GP of America, and Mercedes took the Constructors’ title in Japan. I posted an updates points standing table last week. There’s only 2 races left but still some key battles to be resolved: 3rd in the Drivers’ table is between LEC, VER and VET; P6 is being fought […]
