Not even time to go out on track for the first session that penalties are already lining up ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen will be taking a 10 – place grid penalty for changing the ICE, while Yuki Tsunoda will be starting from the very back of the grid: multiple new components…
Saturday means it’s time for qualifying at the Hungaroring: 30 degrees of air temperature and raindrops approaching just as cars are about to come out of the pits for Q1. With McLaren topping the last free practice session just this morning, let’s have a look at what turn things took for the qualifying of the…
Formula 1 is back on track for the Hungarian Grand Prix after a week off and on Friday it was Verstappen tagging behind Carlos Sainz in FP1 and Lando Norris in FP2. Now it’s time for the very last free practice session ahead of this afternoon’s qualifying, in a rather warm atmosphere as it’s 27…
P10 in qualifying for Fernando Alonso, who will be starting the British Grand Prix between Alex Albon and Charles Leclerc. A good result to make it to Q3, especially as the team had been struggling in the last couple of races, but a disappointing one considering the potential. The Spaniard was in fact held up…
Last free practice session before this afternoon’s qualifying for the British Grand Prix – home of quite a few drivers – and weather certainly does not look like we are in the middle of the summer: grey sky, raindrops and only 11 degrees. On Friday it was Lando Norris who topped both FP1 and FP2…
Nico Hulkenberg gave the stewards some work this Saturday in Spielberg, with decisions that raised some eyebrows. In the ending laps of the Sprint, around Turn 3, the German was attempting to overtake the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso, when he locked up and forced him out of track. A mistake that cost him a…
This European leg of the Formula 1 Championship seems to be opening on a better start for Esteban Ocon, in a season where he had only managed to score one point in Miami. Sprint weekend here in Austria started out with a P8 ahead of his teammate Pierre Gasly in the quali shootout, only to…
A bittersweet weekend for Red Bull at the Canadian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen taking the win ahead of Lando Norris and Sergio Perez retiring after causing an incident in the last laps. In qualifying Verstappen had matched exactly the same time of Polesitter George Russell and he fought his way through an action-packed race…
We had gotten rather used to seeing Max Verstappen take win after win in these last two years, on a Red Bull that seemed uncatchable for the rest of the grid. This season, however, they are not having the dominant season everyone expected down in Milton Keynes. A problem on his right rear brake had…
Not quite the best season for Alpine so far, who heads to Montreal having scored only 2 points – one for each driver – in the first 8 races of the year. A rebranding in 2021 and all french line-up that never really got on well, the then Renault has not been having it easy…
