Grand Prix

We approach the half-way point in a thrilling new era of Formula 1. New cars, new faces at the top and new championship battles. Much of the story of the season to date has been about the titanic duel between Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel. In Austria, Hamilton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas (who amazingly is yet to be signed …

While the Austrian GP yesterday wasn’t the best race around (particularly after the completely bonkers Azerbaijan GP two weeks prior) it was a good race and went right down to the final lap.

It’s all kicked off in Formula 1 rather early this year, hasn’t it? The F1 2017 Silly Season has not had any movers yet, but some massively talented drivers and some huge outfits will be making serious considerations regarding what next year will look like. As it stands, the only team with its line-up set is Red Bull. That leaves factory seats open at Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes, as well potentially at McLaren (with whatever power unit they are running). Just what questions are we asking as we near the halfway point of this exciting F1 season?

The Austrian Grand Prix at Red Bull Ring has been a welcome return to the Formula 1 calendar since it returned in 2014. The current track, situated in the hills just outside of the city of Spielberg, is the fourth-shortest on the calendar at 4.318km. 71 tours of this circuit on raceday accumulates to 305.584km. Only Monte-Carlo, Interlagos and Autodromo …

After a disappointing race last year the Baku City Circuit reappears, this time as the Azerbaijan GP rather than the European GP.

The Canadian GP was just amazing, easily the best race of the season so far. While the battle for the lead was entirely non-existent, battles for almost every other position more than made up for it.

The Canadian GP is one of my favourite tracks on the calendar, great fun, great track, great race. Even when there is no race going on, like the 2011 Canadian GP, things are still somehow entertaining.

For those that know me well, you’ll know I’m a massive Williams fan and a big fan of F1 history, so when Williams announced a free British Grand Prix preview event I was all for it. So here are some pictures, thoughts and stats of all the cars at the event. The event itself was absolutely fantastic, while only a …

Not quite the magnificent Monaco GP we had hoped for, but it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, it got better throughout.
