There’s been two races since the last points update: Portugal: HAM, VER, BOT*, PER, NOR, LEC, OCO, ALO, RIC, GAS Spain: HAM, VER*, BOT, LEC, PER, RIC, SAI, NOR, OCO, GAS (*indicates fastest lap) Here are the standings: Driver Points #Wins #f/lap 1 HAM 94 3 1 2 VER 80 1 1 3 BOT […]
It was a big Qualifying session for HAM because he claimed his 100th F1 pole, which is a huge milestone. To put it in context, Michael Schumacher has the second most poles (68) followed by Ayrton Senna (65) – in fact, only five constructor teams have recorded 100 poles! Also celebrating a century is VER […]
Fortunately the only post-race penalty came before the podium ceremony at the GP of Portugal, with VER losing his fastest lap time for exceeding track limits. So that means HAM is 8 points ahead of VER, with NOR 32pts behind the world champion, and BOT a further 5pts back; Mercedes are only 18pts ahead of […]
Despite being fifth in the points standings, BOT is on pole and aims to join the battle at the front. An hour before the start of the race, reports are that it’s warmer and less windy than Qualifying – the blustery conditions yesterday contributed to some drivers struggling and a lot of lap times deleted […]
Two weeks after the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, F1 moves to Portimao in Portugal. The Imola race was another exciting one, and it didn’t end with the chequered flag! The provisional result was: VER, HAM, NOR, LEC, SAI, RIC, STR, GAS, RAI, OCO … but then came the post-race penalties: STR was given […]
There’s been two races so far this season: Bahrain: HAM, VER, BOT*, NOR, PER, LEC, RIC, SAI, TSU, STR Imola: VER, HAM*, NOR, LEC, SAI, RIC, GAS, STR, OCO, ALO (*indicates fastest lap) Here are the standings: Driver Points #Wins #f/lap 1 HAM 44 1 1 2 VER 43 1 0 3 NOR 27 […]
An exciting Quali session resulted in a slightly different grid: HAM, PER, VER, LEC, GAS, RIC, NOR, BOT, OCO, STR, SAI, RUS, VET, LAT, ALO, RAI, GIO, SCH, MAZ, TSU* (*TSU did not set a lap time and will need to appeal to the stewards to be allowed to race) The start should be interesting […]
The race is officially called the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix but most people will recognise it as the Imola GP, but not the Italian GP because that’s at the Monza circuit in September. Whenever F1 returns to Imola it’s always a chance to remember Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna who died in 1994, in qualifying […]
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 […]
