The 2021 Drivers’ Championship will be decided over the next 58 laps (or maybe fewer). There’s one case where HAM finishes P9 but VER is P10 and gets fastest lap, but other than that whoever finishes ahead will win the crown; if neither finishes in the points, VER is champ. With VER starting ahead of […]
It’s the penultimate race of the season; VER and HAM fighting all the way; it’s going to be an exciting race. I’m concerned about the safety of this track though. LEC had a big crash at the end of FP2; VER hit the wall in Qualifying; and today “Formula 2 drivers Theo Pourchaire and Enzo […]
The war of words (aka handbags at dawn) between Toto Wolff and Christian Horner continues – I’ve stopped listening because I’d rather just see the action on track. Qualifying was cut short by GAS’s puncture bringing out yellow flags as most of the top 10 started their final run Provisional grid: HAM, VER, BOT, GAS, […]
Some people don’t like the sprint format but I think each time there’s been one (Silverstone, Monza, and now Brazil) it’s always been an eventful weekend… and there’s been no end of excitement so far this weekend. Here’s a quick summary of my notes: Mercedes replaced HAM’s engine, so he has a 5-place penalty for […]
A dusty track, a red flag, lots of engine penalties, and some drivers giving their teammate a tow – an eventful qualifying session. Post-Quali order: BOT, HAM, VER, PER, GAS, SAI, RIC, LEC, TSU*, NOR*, VET, RAI, RUS*, GIO, OCO*, ALO, LAT, SCH, MAZ, STR* – *penalties to be applied. For the Quali incidents which […]
The circuit is a little overcast but it’s warming up and there’s no rain forecast for the race. There was a little drizzle at the very end of qualifying but it didn’t really affect the session. Provisional grid after Quali: VER, HAM, PER, BOT*, LEC, SAI, RIC, NOR, GAS, TSU, OCO, VET*, GIO, ALO*, RUS*, […]
Yesterday’s qualifying ended with HAM top of the timing sheet, but an engine penalty demotes him to P11. SAI was P15 but his engine penalties push him to P20. Provisional grid: BOT, VER, LEC, GAS, ALO, PER, NOR, STR, TSU, VET, HAM*, OCO, RUS, SCH, RIC, LAT, GIO, RAI, MAZ, SAI* However, it’s damp and […]
Three Brits in the top 4 grid places, but not in the order you’d expect! A damp qualifying session led to an exciting Q3; the switch from inters to dry tyres saw HAM tag the wall at pit-in, breaking his front wing. Provisional grid: NOR, SAI, RUS, HAM, RIC, ALO, BOT, STR, PER, OCO, VET, […]
The sprint format this weekend saw Mercedes P1 and P2 for Qualifying, but penalties (for power unit changes) for BOT moves hit to the back of the grid, and a poor start for HAM means he’ll be P4 for the race. Grid: VER, RIC, NOR, HAM, LEC, SAI, GIO, PER, STR, ALO, VET, OCO, LAT, […]
Yesterday’s qualifying saw two red flags, when both Williams cars hit the tyre wall in two separate Q2 incidents. Grid: VER, HAM, BOT, GAS, LEC, SAI, GIO, OCO, ALO, RIC, RUS, STR, NOR, TSU, VET, KUB, SCH, MAZ, LAT*, PER* *LAT had a gearbox change so he starts from the pit lane; PER has a […]
