The end is nigh – Abu Dhabi is the last race of the season and there are midfield points (and therefore money) still up for grabs. Then again, it’s the “end of term” with some drivers about to switch teams (or leave F1) so there might be a bit more wheel-to-wheel racing. News: “Mercedes has […]
It’s called the Sakhir Grand Prix but the teams haven’t moved since last weekend’s Bahrain GP – it’s just a different track configuration at the same venue. Bahrain uses the infield, and VER set the fastest lap at 1:32.014; Sakhir is the “outer circuit” and it’s expected to be under 55 seconds per lap! Both […]
The Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships have been won, but there’s still plenty to fight for. There are just 4 points between PER (P4), LEC (P5) and RIC (P6); just 1 point between McLaren teammates SAI and NOR; and 24 points span Racing Point (P3), McLaren, Renault and Ferrari (P6). There’s also the question of Williams […]
Mercedes claimed their 7th consecutive Constructors’ Championship at the previous race, setting a new F1 record. Hamilton can, theoretically, seal his 7th Drivers’ Championship this weekend – he’s 85 points ahead of his teammate. RUS “will start from the back of the grid on Sunday after Williams changed his engine. The Briton, who missed out […]
The previous race, the Portuguese GP, saw HAM break Michael Schumacher’s record of F1 wins. This weekend the F1 circus is back in Italy – this time it’s the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola, which in the past has also hosted the San Marino GP most notably in 1994 […]
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. [points standings] The big news since Belgium relates to the Williams sale – “Sir Frank Williams and Claire Williams step down from Williams team” [BBC] […]
