VER became the 100th different pole-sitter in F1 history. The post-Qualifying penalties bump his ex-teammate (RIC) to the very back of the grid after some engine changes; GIO received a three-place grid penalty for impeding STR in Q1. Revised grid: VER, BOT, HAM, LEC, VET, GAS, NOR, SAI, GRO, RAI, HUL, ALB, KVY, MAG, RUS, […]
The weather forecast is proving to be correct – about an hour before the start of the race and it’s already raining. It might dry up soon, but the probability of more rain in the second half of the race is around 90% Qualifying was pretty eventful, with VET unable to run in Q1, teammate […]
Mercedes have the front row locked out again, although HAM is “only” P2. There are no penalties coming out of Qualifying, so the grid is unchanged. Grid: BOT, HAM, LEC, VER, GAS, VET, RIC, NOR, ALB, HUL, GIO, RAI, SAI, GRO, PER, MAG, KVY, STR, RUS, KUB It’s looking a little overcast, and there’s talk […]

Quite the entertaining Qualifying session, unless you’re a Ferrari fan maybe. Yet more strategy problems and a couple of mistakes from VET meant Red Bull were able to focus on challenging Mercedes for pole. Provisional grid: HAM, BOT, VER, VET, GAS, MAG, RIC, KVY, SAI, ALB, HUL, NOR, GRO, RAI, GIO, LEC, PER, STR, RUS, […]

Even after an eventful Qualifying session, there’s still more happening before the cars get to the grid: Gasly disqualified from Baku qualifying after fuel flow infringement [F1] However, he was already going to start from the pit lane as the penalty for missing the weighbridge in FP3 Raikkonen disqualified from qualifying results in Baku after […]
RACE 1000 A very close Qualifying session ended with another all-Mercedes front row, a bit unexpected for the 10,00th race.
