Well, this is it! Last race of the season; HAM and VER on equal points but VER has won one race more, so either whoever finishes ahead in the points will win the Drivers’ Championship or if neither score points tomorrow then VER will get the crown. It’s RAI’s last race weekend before he retires […]
There are just two races left this season; VER is just 8 points ahead of HAM in the Drivers’ Championship, and Mercedes is only 5 points ahead of Red Bull. VER could win it this weekend, but I suspect it’ll be decided in Abu Dhabi next weekend. Obviously the big news since Qatar was the […]
The third race of the triple-header is (controversially) in Qatar – a brand new circuit for F1 but it has hosted many bike races. Mexico and Brazil were exciting, especially HAM’s fightback last weekend, but the Qatar circuit looks less likely to be a “classic” … unless the stewards start handing out penalties (or ignoring […]
The Grand Prix of Mexico was only a few days ago, and freight shipping problems have meant a hectic couple of days for many of the mechanics; the stewards have given special dispensation for the teams to work late on preparing the cars. A quick reminder on the World Championship standings: VER is 19 points […]
It seems odd that there was a weekend off between the US GP and Mexico, but I’ve heard that’s because they wanted it to coincide with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) … except that was on Tuesday!? The weather forecast for the whole weekend is warm and dry; 0% chance of rain. […]
Two weeks on from the GP of Turkey, which ended with VER 6 points ahead of HAM in the Drivers’ Championship standings. News: The 2022 calendar was announced – a record 23 races, running from Mar20 (in Bahrain) to Nov20 (in Abu Dhabi); Miami has been added but China was dropped (due to COVID) Aston […]
Maybe it’s because we’ve had a batch of great races or because the last one ended with heartbreak for NOR, but it feels like more than a two-week gap since the GP of Russia. There’s just 2 points between HAM and VER with 6 races remaining … oh, wait – the FIA announced the much-rumoured […]
Following the Italian GP VER was handed a three grid-place penalty for causing the collision with HAM. [FIA] The expectation is Red Bull will take this opportunity to put a series of upgrades on VER’s car, wiping out the penalty. Ferrari have said they will put a new engine in LEC’s car, so he’ll also […]
The third part of the triple-header is in Monza following the Grands Prix of Belgium and Holland. There have been some expected driver announcements but also RAI announced his retirement. In short, BOT moves to Alfa Romeo; RUS to Mercedes; AlphaTauri re-signed GAS and TSU; Alex Albon joins Williams, alongside LAT. This weekend will follow […]
As much as people often want a wet race, because it makes things less predictable, I don’t think anyone wants one as wet as the GP of Belgium last week! In case you missed it, there was a post-race penalty for STR – he finished P18 so adding 10 seconds means he’s classified P20 but […]
