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 […]
There’s been three races since Russia: Japan: BOT, VET, HAM*, ALB, SAI, LEC, GAS, PER, STR, KVY Mexico: HAM, VET, BOT, LEC*, ALB, VER, PER, RIC, GAS, HUL USA: BOT, HAM, VER, LEC*, ALB, RIC, NOR, SAI, HUL, PER (*indicates fastest lap) Here are the standings: Driver Points #Wins #f/lap 1 HAM 381 10 […]
Before Qualifying, I said it looked likely that HAM will tie up the Drivers’ Championship this weekend… but then he qualified P5 and BOT (the only person between HAM and his 6th title) is on pole; I still think he’ll do it but it’s just a bit harder than I expected. Grid: BOT, VET, VER, […]
Hamilton will have to be really unlucky not to seal the Drivers’ Championship this weekend – it requires BOT to win the race and HAM to score less than 2 points, but given this is one of HAM’s favourite tracks and his race engineer Pete Bonnington is back, it’s looking pretty likely. This weekend also […]
Verstappen shot himself in the foot after Qualifying – the stewards didn’t seem to be investigating his last lap but in the interview he was asked if he knew BOT had crashed; VER said yes, and that the next question asking if he lifted, to which he said (something like) doesn’t look like I did […]
After the GP of Japan there were a few updates: “The classifications of Ricciardo and Hulkenberg are provisional subject to the outcome of a protest initiated by Racing Point.” – More on that in a minute. “Leclerc received a 5-second and a 10-second post-race penalty for causing a collision and then driving his car in […]
Disappointing to see that Ferrari’s obfuscated tobacco advertising is back on the car and the drivers’ helmets. The FIA had told Ferrari to remove it but it’s now very prominent. Despite Mercedes topping both Practice sessions (BOT ahead of HAM in both FP1 and FP2), Ferrari locked out the front row of the grid in […]
