Carlos Sainz’s outstanding victory at the Australian Grand Prix following an appendix removal 16 days before was an incredible achievement. However, the hyperbole has gone too far. Round 3 of the 2024 Formula One World Championship marked a significant moment as Max Verstappen’s early DNF due to a right rear brake issue opened the door…
The Mercedes team is off to a lacklustre start in the 2024 season; their W15 car is plagued by inconsistency from one session to the next and falls short of the expected performance seen in their simulations. This was glaringly evident at the recent Australian Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton retired due to an engine…
Three race weekends in the 2024 Formula One season are wrapped up, and Daniel Ricciardo is yet to hit the ground running. In the head-to-head battle so far, Tsunoda has edged out his more-experienced team mate. In Bahrain, a strategy difference and team orders had Ricciardo finish ahead of Yuki Tsunoda in an optimistic chase…
Home race for Daniel Ricciardo last weekend in Melbourne, one that had not started out so well, with him qualifying at the very back in P18 — out of 19 drivers, as Logan Sargeant had to sit out and give his car to teammate Alex Albon. To try and make up for it on race…
Ferrari seem to have breathed new life into the season, breaking Max Verstappen’s win streak with an emphatic 1-2 finish in Australia. Admittedly, Verstappen’s absence played a role in the outcome of the race. Sergio Perez had a messy race, compromised by an errant visor tear-off that got lodged in the floor of his RB20….
After a quick exit in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, in which he clipped the inside wall of turn 22 resulting in a firm impact with the outside wall, Lance Stroll bounced back with a solid sixth place in the Australian Grand Prix. Outqualifying and (eventually) finishing ahead of his two-time World Champion teammate Fernando Alonso, it was a pretty decent result for the Canadian. Or as he himself summarised: “Solid race and happy to pick up some points.”
McLaren Unboxed: hilarious, insightful, and innovative. Started in 2019, the series showcased the McLaren team at each race, giving fans an inside look into what life is like at the race track. At the time, this type of content from F1 teams didn’t exist. “McLaren Racing were the first to give real insight into their…
Fred Vasseur joined Ferrari as their team principal last year and it wasn’t a smooth ride for him and the team. They had a very difficult start to the campaign where the 2023 package was extremely tough to handle for both their drivers. Nonetheless, the only non-Red Bull victory in 2023 was Carlos Sainz’s in…
Haas F1 Team are currently P7 in the 2024 F1 Constructors’ Championship after back-to-back races saw them score points. Meanwhile the rest of the field below them is yet to score. Unsurprisingly, Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu is delighted and told Sky Sports F1, “Amazing team effort, I couldn’t be happier.” However, the man now…
The modern ground effect era of Formula 1 has proven a tricky battleground for Mercedes, who started the current regulation cycle with their infamous ‘zero pod’ concept, which soon proved to be a failed concept rather than the ground breaking innovation they hoped for. Plagued by porpoising issues and an insurmountable amount of drag, the concept was altered for the first few races of 2023, before it was binned altogether from the Monaco Grand Prix onwards.
