Hamilton equalled Michael Schumacher’s record of F1 victories when he won the Eifel Grand Prix two weeks ago. That puts HAM 69 points ahead of his teammate, who in turn is just 14 points ahead of VER; Mercedes are 180 points clear of Red Bull, with Racing Point third despite their 15 point penalty. News: […]
The first thing to tackle is the name of this race: like 4 others on this year’s calendar (Styrian GP, Tuscan GP, Emilia Romagna GP, and Sakhir GP), it’s named for the region – the Eifel mountains stretch across Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. The 2019 German GP was held at Hockenheim but it wasn’t on […]
F1 has been fairly quiet since the Tuscan Grand Prix. I updated the points standings: HAM is 55 points clear of BOT, who in turn is 25 points ahead of VER; Mercedes are 152 ahead of Red Bull, and Ferrari are 6th in the Constructors’ table. “Lewis Hamilton says he expects to be told he […]
This weekend marks Ferrari’s 1,000th Formula 1 world championship race; Mercedes paint Safety Car “Ferrari red” [racefans] and Ferrari have given their cars a one-off colour scheme [BBC] for this weekend. Not much in the way of news since last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix – “Ferrari have withdrawn their appeal against Racing Point’s punishment in […]
Monza is the second of another back-to-back-to-back triple header. Following HAM’s win in the Belgian GP he’s 47 points ahead of VER, and Mercedes are 106 ahead of Red Bull.

It’s been less than two weeks since the Spanish Grand Prix but there’s been lots of F1 news: After the race we learned BOT “lost three kilograms during the Spanish Grand Prix and believes the black overalls worn by the Mercedes Formula 1 drivers were a factor.” [autosport] Williams were sold to US investment company […]
The heat caused drama with tyres in the British Grand Prix and again last week in the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, and the forecast for this weekend is even hotter. (Current points standings.) News: PER has reclaimed his Racing Point seat from HUL after a negative COVID test Renault’s protest against Racing Point’s penalty for […]
It’s the 70th Anniversary of the first championship Grand Prix in 1950 – the first one was at Silverstone (albeit a much simpler configuration) so it’s only right that we’re here again, just a week after the British Grand Prix. Last weekend’s race ended dramatically with some front runners suffering punctures: BOT dropped from P2 […]
It’s not even two weeks since the Hungarian Grand Prix, but there’s been lots of talk about the pre-race anti-racism protests and HAM sharing a video linked to unfounded conspiracy theories about a coronavirus vaccination … so it’s really good to get back to some racing again! Unfortunately PER has tested positive for coronavirus so […]
