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…
Formula 1 is back on track this weekend for the Monaco Grand Prix and it could be no one other than Charles Leclerc, who grew up in these streets, to open track action ahead of everyone. The Monegasque topped the time-sheet both on Friday and in this morning’s final free practice session, ahead of Max…
Saturday and time for the Sprint Race in sunny Miami, with Max Verstappen starting yet again in front of everyone with his Red Bull. Mediums are the preferred choice for most of the grid, only exceptions are Yuki Tsunoda and Logan Sargeant who opted for the softest compound. Work for the stewards begins even before…
Formula 1 is in Miami for the second Sprint weekend of the season, one that started terribly for the blue tinted Ferrari and Lando Norris’ McLaren. Leclerc spun at the start of FP1 causing a red flag to halt the session, while Norris suffered in steering. But it’s certainly Mercedes who struggled the most on…
A big Saturday for Formula 1 in Shanghai, as the day around the paddock begins with the first Sprint Race of the season and goes on until the afternoon when Qualifying for the Grand Prix will take place. Yesterday’s Shootout certainly was a matter for elite wet-weather drivers, as it started off on dry asphalt…
